permanent makeup

With permanent makeup, eyeliners, lip liners or eyebrows are applied permanently. Even when all ordinary make-up has been removed, the face is not yet ‘bald’. The applied accents make the face expressive.

Let eyes speak
Where you normally use eyeliner to make your eyes speak more, you can also have a line with permanent make-up. This can be above and below your eye. Many women have a permanent line applied to save time. But it can also be a solution for people with few or no eyelashes.

drawing hairs
Not everyone is born with perfectly shaped eyebrows. Eyebrows that are too rough can still be tamed with tweezers, but what if you have too few hairs? Or a shape you’re not happy with? Then permanent makeup can beautify your eyebrows.

fuller lips
Do you have thin lips? Then you can already achieve a lot of effect with a line around your lips. The contrast between the lips and the skin around them is increased. Even people with a cleft lip sometimes improve the shape of the lips with permanent make-up.

Tattoo Technique
Permanent makeup is a type of tattoo technique. In both cases, pigment is introduced into the skin by means of a needle. But that is also the only agreement. The equipment, the composition of the pigments and the techniques are completely different.

Drawing and poking
Before the treatment, you will discuss the shape and color with the person applying the permanent make-up, usually a beautician. The shape is first drawn on the lips and eyebrow, so that you can already see how it will look. Then a fine needle ‘pricks’ the dye into your skin. Some beauty salons advertise it as a “completely painless” treatment. Piercing your skin with a needle is a bit sensitive, but the pain can be prevented by applying an anesthetic cream before the treatment.

suffering poverty
How much you pay for permanent makeup depends on what you want done and with which practitioner. Prices range from just over a hundred euros for a line along the bottom of your eye to more than six hundred euros for a more complicated procedure. You will often receive two treatments for this. After the first time, the color is often too vague and the shape is not yet optimal. The specialist can improve that the second time.

hard back
No fiddling in front of the mirror in the morning, no allergic reactions to make-up, no dripping eyeliner after a rain shower… Permanent make-up has plenty of advantages. But the fact that it is ‘permanent’ can also be a disadvantage. For example, if the blue line is hopelessly out of fashion after a year. Or if the permanent make-up is not to your liking.

The results can be somewhat disappointing in the first few days, because the skin is then slightly darker and swollen. But if you are not satisfied after a week, it can be difficult to do something about it. In general, permanent make-up is always present. The intensity of the permanent make-up may fade slightly over time. However, this varies from person to person. This has to do with natural cell renewal, the immune system and the influence of UV light.
