All about the permanent eyebrow makeup procedure – Eternal Beauty

Permanent lip makeup, reviews of which are mostly positive, is one of the most popular cosmetic services.

The procedure is popular among women of all ages and allows you to look flawless in any situation.

After it, you will no longer have to draw perfectly straight lines every day, select the shade of contour or lipstick.

Attractive color, clear outlines, elimination of some defects are only part of the positive properties of such makeup.

What is permanent lip makeup?

Permanent lip makeup is a procedure that consists of introducing hypoallergenic coloring compounds into the upper layer of the epidermis, to a depth of 0.3 - 0.8 mm.

This is done using special tools. High-quality makeup is not influenced by external factors, does not wear off, and retains its original shade for a long time.

A permanent tattoo cannot be called a tattoo, since correction will be required in a few years.

Judging by the numerous reviews about permanent makeup, photos before and after the procedure, we can conclude that such a service is very popular among modern women.

With it, the fair sex will not have to worry about their own beauty, the quality of evening or everyday makeup.

A very long time ago, people in Rome and Egypt highlighted their lips using dyes of natural origin. Paint was applied using bamboo sticks with a sharp end.

Lip tattooing allows you to solve many aesthetic problems:

• effectively masks imperfections such as scars, cleft lip, asymmetry and others;
• if your lips are too thin, the procedure will help visually increase volume;
• with age, the contours blur, become blurred, a professional service returns clarity, attractive plumpness, and brightness of color;
• busy fashionistas, always rushing about their business, will be spared the daily application and adjustment of cosmetics.

Permanent makeup, performed with precise adherence to technology, looks as natural as possible. People around you will not be able to distinguish it from ordinary makeup.

Shadow technique

The shadow tattoo technique is popular among lovers of natural beauty. This type of permanent makeup has two categories that are now popular:

1. Spraying. In this category, only the spaces between the hairs are colored with a machine, which creates a background for them and visually makes the eyebrows thicker and clearer. The chosen shade of pigment should not differ from the shade of the hairs, otherwise the overall picture will look ridiculous.
2. Shadow painting. The method is similar to the previous one, but in it the drawing is done with borders and endings. The advantage of this method is the ability to darken the necessary places; usually the tail is made a couple of shades darker than the main color.

The shadow technique of applying dye involves the use of natural shades similar to the girl’s natural color. The result heals quickly, and a clear result is maintained for one year. If you do not make corrections after this, the shade will remain for about two years.

Indications and contraindications

Lip tattooing is suitable for women who dream of always looking flawless.

The procedure will help those who constantly hide minor appearance defects in the form of scars and asymmetry under long-lasting makeup.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. benign and malignant neoplasms;
2. diabetes;
3. tendency to form scars;
4. blood clotting disorder;
5. fever, epilepsy;
6. exacerbation of inflammatory processes;
7. psychical deviations.

Tattooing is done not only for aesthetic reasons. With its help, you can hide some imperfections (for example, a scar, asymmetry).

There are also relative contraindications that can negatively affect your health.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. Arterial hypertension . Before the procedure, you must take medication that reduces blood pressure.
2. Exacerbation of herpes. The introduction of coloring pigments during the absence of signs of the disease helps reduce the intensity of the rash. Lipstick will no longer be needed, which means that the mucous membrane of the lips will not be regularly exposed to irritants.
3. Allergic reaction. During the consultation, you must tell the cosmetologist about drug intolerance, if any.

On the Internet you can find many photos and positive reviews about permanent lip makeup. But when deciding on this, you should carefully consider all the nuances of your decision.

Pigments can only be removed using a laser; several sessions will be required. Such manipulations are not cheap.

Types of permanent makeup (8 options)

There are several types of this procedure. The choice is made depending on the goals set and the result to be achieved. Let's consider the features of each technique.

Contour technique

Suitable for adding clarity to blurred contours. The procedure will be especially relevant for women over 40 years of age.

As a result, the lips acquire expressive outlines, as if they were outlined with a pencil.

Thanks to the correct selection of colors, the makeup turns out to be neat, soft, perfectly harmonizes with the natural shade, and gives fullness without changing the natural shape.

Contour technique with shading

This type of permanent makeup gives lips brightness and richness. The contours become clearer, the middle remains without coloring pigments, which creates the effect of slightly worn lipstick.

The paint is applied slightly above the natural boundaries, which results in increased plumpness and volume.

The color is selected based on personal preference; it can be light or dark. The technique is suitable for women of all ages.

Shading the outline

It can be complete or partial. Initially, the cosmetologist outlines the contour, then evenly rubs the pigment over the entire surface.

In the photo before and after permanent makeup with shading, you can see that the coloring is light and completely natural.

3D technology

This method is the most complex and allows you to get rid of blurred contours, asymmetry, insufficient volume, and discoloration.

3D tattooing is performed using 5 or more tones. As a result, lips acquire fullness and seductive volume.

The technique involves painting the borders and completely filling the entire surface. This will require at least 2 sessions.

After the procedure, you can drink water and other drinks only through a straw. You will have to protect your face from direct sunlight.

Lips are a fairly sensitive area, so there is pain during the session. It's worth taking this into account.

Plastic surgeon Arnold Almonte

Lip light technique

You can also find another name for the procedure – light kajal. Correct execution of the manipulation requires a high level of skill.

During the session, a light line is drawn above the contour. This is necessary to add plumpness.

Suitable for women with ideal lip shape. Otherwise, all the shortcomings will become more noticeable.

Naturel technique

Suitable for fashionistas who want to maintain their own lip shape, give them richness and expressiveness.

The shade of the coloring composition is selected a little brighter than natural. It is for this reason that a tattoo with an even distribution looks natural and attractive.

Watercolor technique

It refers to non-contour techniques, so a clear contour is not created. The cosmetologist only carefully distributes the paint over the entire surface. Calm pastel colors are used.

From photos and reviews of permanent lip makeup, you can understand that the watercolor technique allows you to achieve maximum naturalness.

From the outside it looks like the girl used a light balm or gloss. The procedure is relevant for any age.

Permanent lipstick technique

The entire surface of the lips is treated with a coloring composition, creating the effect of bright lipstick. Suitable for representatives of the fair sex who dream of completely changing their natural coloring.

With the right shade, lips gain seductive fullness without the need to apply lipstick.

The optimal option is selected based on the condition of the lips and the client’s wishes. An important factor is the woman’s age.

Popular varieties

What tattooing methods do you know? We will analyze this issue in detail so that there are no gaps in knowledge. The difference between the methods lies in the technique of introducing the composition into the dermis:

• Shading. The most popular equipment over the past 15 years. It implies the same principle as when tinting arches with a cosmetic pencil. First, outline the desired contour. Then carefully fill the light gaps with paint. Achieve perfect shading;
• Microblading. Looks more natural. As in the previous paragraph, the master carefully works out the outlines. And then, with the finest strokes, he completes the missing eyebrows inside.

Note. If you have thin and delicate skin, microblading may not be suitable for you. Try using a more gentle technique. Spraying should not be done for women with sparse hair, as well as with a large number of gray hairs.

• Powder eyebrows. The method is also called spraying. One of the newest, less painful and in demand among women. It allows you to achieve easy color correction, without clear boundaries. The coloring preparation is injected inside to a minimum depth in a very small amount. The result looks natural and fresh. Not bright, but expressive.

The difference between the methods lies in the technique of introducing the composition into the dermis

Matching colors

When choosing the optimal color, the natural shade of the skin is taken into account.

The lighter the epidermis, the more saturated and expressive the pigment will be. If the skin is dark, the coloring composition will become paler.

All colors used in cosmetology are divided into warm and cold. The selection is made based on the color type of the girls.

Fair-skinned people should pay attention to warm neutral shades. Rich and dark tones suit hot brunettes.

These rules are only advisory; the final choice is always made by the client.

When deciding on a color, we must not forget that a light pigment, if you suddenly don’t like it, is covered by a darker one. You won't be able to correct saturated colors this way.

The most popular warm tones are beige, pink, light brown, caramel.

Among the dark ones, the most popular are chocolate, burgundy, and dark brown.

Don’t forget about bright colors: orange, purple, blue - they will make any girl original and unique.

Question answer

There is no clear opinion on whether women can attend sessions during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the procedure involves the use of anesthetics that can have a negative effect on children.

It is better to sign up for the procedure in the middle of the menstrual cycle, but it is acceptable after its completion. But during menstruation it is not recommended to attend sessions.

There is a procedure similar to tattooing - lip microblading. It differs in that the punctures are minimal, pigment degradation does not occur, and the healing process is faster. The main disadvantage is the need for correction after a few weeks.

What kind of procedure is eyebrow tattooing?

Good day! My name is Christina. You'll probably think that I'm a little behind the latest beauty trends, because in my 30 years, I've never gone to a hairdresser and I don't even have an idea what tattooing is. Yes, for me this expression sounds scary, like for a person who is afraid of injections and has no tattoos on his body.

I didn’t immediately rush and sign up for a salon after my friend’s advice. And I decided to delve deeply into the process itself and understand what kind of procedure it is. I found a lot of information on the Internet, which I share with you. It turns out that eyebrow tattooing is also called permanent makeup.

The process itself is different from a regular tattoo because the ink is not injected so deeply into the skin and can disappear over the course of several years. But after application, you should wait about a week and follow the instructions of the master until the wounds heal. It turns out that before applying the pigment, the master anesthetizes the required area and the process becomes painless.

Preparation for the procedure

It is not recommended to consume the following drugs, drinks and foods on the eve of the session:

• aspirin and products containing it;
• alcoholic drinks, coffee;
• energy cocktails, cola;
• seafood.

The listed substances dilate blood vessels, so during the introduction of coloring compounds, bleeding occurs, washing out the pigment.

Before and after the procedure, the client is prescribed antiviral medications. This is a preventive measure to avoid the occurrence of herpes.

Plastic surgeon Jed Horowitz

Execution method

You should first consult with a cosmetologist, discuss individual requirements, and draw a sketch.

The specialist will help you choose the appropriate shape and color, tell you about the shortcomings, and also recommend the optimal technique that will help get rid of existing shortcomings.

The procedure includes several stages:

1. The sketch is applied to the surface of the lips, then it is fixed.
2. Minimal punctures along the borders are made without the use of anesthetics.
3. An anesthetic gel, cream or spray is applied. When the products take effect, a coloring pigment is introduced. Experienced cosmetologists will be able to achieve full compliance with the sketch.
4. Applications are carried out with a special machine with a thin needle.

The procedure takes about 2 hours. The duration depends on the chosen technique and the experience of the master.

Dermatological surgeon Mary Alice Mina

Reviews with before and after photos allow you to see the main features of permanent lip makeup. Many girls are interested in whether it is painful to carry out such a procedure.

Any punctures are painful, but this side effect can be successfully eliminated with painkillers.

Care instructions (5 tips)

In the photo you can see the healing process of lips after permanent makeup day by day. It takes 1 – 2 weeks depending on the condition of the skin.

In the first few hours after the session, the mouth swells, but this goes away within a day.

To relieve swelling, it is recommended to use a compress using, for example, a chlorhexedine solution.

Plastic surgeon Charles Nduka

Over the course of 1–3 days, the pigment looks especially bright; over time, it will acquire the desired shade. On days 3–5, flaky crusts appear on the skin.

For quick and effective healing, you must follow several rules:

1. Under no circumstances should the crusts be torn off. The paint is not too deep, so it may go away along with peeling. Your doctor may prescribe anti-allergy medications to relieve itching. Products such as Bepanten and Panthenol will also help you recover faster. They speed up healing.
2. Long-term hygiene procedures are contraindicated; only a small amount of shampoo, soap, and cosmetics is acceptable for 10 days. Avoid chlorinated water.
3. It is forbidden to sunbathe in a solarium or naturally.
4. It is not recommended to use hydrogen peroxide, drugs containing alcohol, or antibiotics. Such products can lead to lip discoloration.
5. Do not apply preparations with chemical components to your face.

Reviews and photos taken a week after permanent lip makeup are performed indicate that this period is sufficient for complete recovery.

There is a risk of encountering allergies, granuloma, and infection. But such complications are rare.

Dermatological surgeon Pamela Carr

A pressing question is: how long does a tattoo last? With proper care, the average duration is 2 years. The price for permanent lip makeup, for example, in Moscow starts from 5 – 8 thousand rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages

This make-up has a lot of positive aspects. Among them the following stand out:

• Save time on daily makeup. The paint does not need to be applied or removed;
• Consistency of appearance throughout the whole day. Eyebrows will not “flow” either in the gym or in the pool;
• You create the perfect shape;
• Achieve symmetry;
• Control the desired thickness;
• You correct naturally sparse vegetation and achieve the desired density;
• You can choose any color;

Advice! Brunettes are recommended to choose a tone as close as possible to their native one. And blondes should choose a color that is 5-6 shades darker. Remember, over time the shade fades and fades away.

• Suitable for girls with skin sensitive to cosmetic ingredients. Including those with allergies.
• Ubiquity. Every decent salon today includes a first-class master. There will be no problems finding a specialist.

Save time on daily makeup.
The paint does not need to be applied or removed. To be honest and objective, we must also examine the disadvantages:

• You cannot wash off or change an unsuccessful contour. You will have to be patient for at least six months;
• The risk of running into a bad specialist. The result will be asymmetry, incorrect pigment tone;
• The likelihood of infection in the body;
• The need for repeated correction after the main stage. Performed in 2-4 weeks;
• High prices. In a good salon, with a master with a well-deserved reputation, you will have to pay a tidy sum.

Attention! Do not under any circumstances try to save money on an office. Be wary if there are bad reviews, the inside is untidy, and there is no special treatment room. Even if you really like the price, run away from there as fast as you can. You risk getting to a master without experience. The poor quality of a permanent is nothing compared to the likelihood of ruining your health.

The last disadvantage is pain. Like any tattoo done with a needle, permanent makeup is accompanied by pain. Fortunately, there are few nerve endings at the site of the arches, so the sensation is quite tolerable. In addition, you will be anesthetized with lidocaine or its equivalent.

Important! Make sure you have a test done before undergoing anesthesia. To avoid the development of an allergic reaction. This manipulation should be among the natural and self-evident. Otherwise, you should think about the reliability of the establishment.

Do your eyebrows deteriorate after tattooing?

It is a big mistake to think that this makeup spoils the natural hairs, destroys the hair follicles, and prevents their growth. The pigment is introduced so close to the surface that it is not able to affect deeper layers.

You correct naturally sparse vegetation and achieve the desired density

The same can be said about skin. You don't do much damage to her. Firstly, the tattoo area is very small. Secondly, the stuffing method is gentle. Thirdly, in this place the skin is inactive and does not come into contact with clothing. Therefore, you will definitely not speed up the appearance of wrinkles and sagging.

Lip healing

If the procedure is carried out correctly and the patient follows the rules, then healing occurs in the following stages:

• 1 Week. At first, the woman will experience swelling and pain may be present. After 3 days, the discomfort and swelling disappear, but crusts appear. They fall off on their own after 3-4 days.
• Week 2. The swelling completely disappears, and dryness is felt. To alleviate the condition, experts advise using Vaseline.
• Week 3. At this stage you can see the final result. If the color is not satisfactory, then correction is carried out.

In the photo you can see how healing occurs after permanent lip makeup day by day:

Consequences of an unsuccessful tattoo

It is enough to look at the photo where women look with horror at what happened after permanent makeup to lose the desire for tattoos forever. Here there are swellings that begin to fester, and a shape that has moved upward, which does not coincide with the growth of natural hairs, and blurred vision and clouding of the white of the eye, etc. In defense of the common technique, let’s say that the consequences in half of the cases are associated with the fact that the client hid her diseases.

But in half the cases, it is the fault of the master who, with shaking or crooked hands, performed such a delicate procedure as drawing eyebrows.

When you can’t do permanent or any other tattoo that involves puncturing and introducing pigment under the skin.

1. If you are under 18 years old. The ban is not of a medical nature, but of a legal nature.
2. Pregnancy. Lactation period. Plans to get pregnant in the next 6 months.
3. Hemophilia and any other blood diseases.
4. Infectious diseases.
5. Diabetes.
6. Cardiovascular diseases.

Permanent makeup is not performed if you have just come from a solarium or come from the south and have a fresh (up to 1 month) tan.

Permanent lip makeup – reviews

Let's read the reviews about this procedure for 2018-2019.

ELENA, 35 YEARS OLD:

“I had the procedure about 3 months ago.
We leaned towards highlighting contours with shading. Paid 3 thousand rubles. The master offered all kinds of shades, which, of course, puzzled me. But I liked the result. During the rehabilitation period I used Bepanten.”

INGA, 33 YEARS OLD:

“I probably chose a bad specialist, because the color disappeared very quickly.
The problem is that there was a spot on the lip that did not come off for 1.5 years. For a long time I did not dare to make a correction, because I was afraid that it would be even worse. with distrust I went to another master.

She corrected everything and made really beautiful lips. That’s why I advise you not to save money and immediately choose a professional.”

SVETLANA, 29 YEARS OLD:

“I paid 5 thousand rubles for the procedure.
The sensations are not the most pleasant, but tolerable. The worst thing is that by the evening I was faced with huge swelling. It took about a week to recover. The result, of course, pleased me. Lips have become more expressive.

I advise you to try this procedure, it seems to me that it is better than injections of hyaluronic acid.”

Reviews from the network about it

I really wanted my eyebrows to become beautiful, but at the same time they seemed natural and did not catch the eye. I was almost ready to sign up for the procedure, but I lacked something to be completely convinced and I decided to find reviews from women who could describe in detail their feelings about permanent tattooing. I was interested to know how painful it is and how long it takes to heal, and whether this procedure is even worth doing. But the opinions of the women made me very happy, most of them were happy with the result and showed off their photos with a beautiful result.

“I’ve been doing tattoos for a very long time, it’s convenient and comfortable for me. The eyebrows are like real ones, my master is a true professional and does his job like a jewel. Applying makeup for three hours in front of the mirror every day is not my thing, but I love looking beautiful. Therefore, permanent tattoo, eyelash extensions and I am a beauty. Everything looks natural and not vulgar. Thanks to my cosmetologist”

After reading the reviews, I realized that it was worth it and I needed to take a risk. Women wrote that the process is almost not felt due to the painkiller. I tuned in and found out the number of a professional cosmetologist.
