Artificial Beauty or Not...Botox, Fillers, and Permanent Makeup...Oh My!!!










I have friends who do not understand why anyone would plump, paralyze, and/or tattoo their face to faces.

Some comments...
Why not let mother nature do it's thing and we all age gracefully without intervention.  People who do it are superficial, it doesn't look natural, and they are wasting their money.


It is always important to not loose perspective of our face.  We are all aging, some more quickly than others.  It is important find ways to look your age, but more refreshed.  As of you had a good night sleep.  There's only so much that makeup and over the counter products can do for our face.

Cosmetic enhancement is a personal choice.  I agree it is somewhat superficial.  Similar like driving a nice car, having a giant diamond ring, or living in a beautiful home.

But let's face it, our physical appearance does play an important role in our lives.  Looking professional, polished and fresh faced does have it's advantages.

I had an 85 year old client who came in to get permanent makeup eyebrows.  She exercises, eats right, and in healthy condition.  But her reasoning for permanent makeup, she doesn't have brows and her hand shakes so she can't apply eyeliner.

Permanent Eyeliner turns blue grey

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner                                                       After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner                                                C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past.  The original artist used Black pigment.  It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey.  Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time.  Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color.  Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp.  If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue.  The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable.

What is the difference between Micro Blading and Tattoos

What is the difference between Micro Blading and other Permanent Makeup modalities. Microblading is a tool that is popular with the newer generation of permanent makeup artists.  The marketing of Microblading has dominated our industry in the past 2 to 3 years. Microblade is a hand held tool where the series of needles are configured tightly to form a "blade" or a "knife".  The artist uses the "blade" to cut "hair like" incisions into the skin.  The pigment is then smeared into the cuts.  The width of the blade is extremely narrow so that the artist can create an illusion of eyebrow hairs. Due to the narrow width of the blade, the artist must minimize the space in between each stroke.  If the strokes are placed too far apart, the tattoo may appear sparse when healed.  If the strokes are placed too closely, then the pigment from each stroke blend into the next stroke and causes pigment migration or a shaded look.  Immediat
Is there an age limit to Permanent Makeup? I have clients who are interested in gifting Permanent Makeup brows, eyeliner and lips for their elderly mothers.   Here is a scenario. My mother is 80 years old, her vision and steadiness of her hands are decreasing.  She is having difficulty putting on makeup around her eyes and gets easily frustrated.  Even worse, she draws skinny harsh lines for brows.   Is she too old for Cosmetic Tattoo, Permanent Makeup? BEFORE AFTER No matter how old or young we are, we all want to look presentable.  For those who think that once you turn 70 or 80, you won't care about your looks...Think again!  If you care how you look now, you are more likely to Always care.  After all, we are living longer and staying more active.  Social events help us feel connected and alive.  And if you want to look good?  GAME ON!!!  It is true, age is just a number.  It's how you feel that counts. When we consider permanent makeup for older skin, we need to assess t
