his month we will be looking into the fascinating world of permanent and semipermanent cosmetics. Thatâs right, my lovelies, we are talking about TATTOO MAKEUPâŚbut this is not your grandmaâs permanent cosmetics.
OPTIONS
The industry has grown and evolved in a huge way with tattoo makeup being one of the hottest trends in cosmetic enhancements these days. As a permanent makeup artist five times certified with over six yearsâ experience in the industry, Iâm here to tell you that long gone are the days of painful, harsh lines and ashy tones. The reason we call it semipermanent is because we no longer use traditional tattoo inks, which have heavy metals in them anchoring the pigments to the skin, which makes the ink last years longer. When they do fade out, those heavy metals are trapped under the skin, reflecting light, and they can leave you with a multitude of colors, such as blues, pinks, greens, and oranges.
Water-based pigments that donât have the same life span as tattoo ink tend to fade faster, so if you ever decide to let them fade out, they will eventually fade right back to a natural, neutral skin tone. No matter what area you want to enhance, it is imperative that you rigorously research the facility and the artist performing your service. You should always check before and after photos, ask how long they have been performing their services, ask to see their stateissued license from the Health Department, read any reviews you can find online, and, if possible, go in for a quick consultation with your artist, which in many cases is offered complimentary. Look into pre- and postservice care regimens because aftercare is so important in achieving your desired results.
