Various names for Permanent Makeup

-




Depending on who you ask, there are various names for Permanent Makeup.  Here's some for starters...
  • Micropigmentation
  • Cosmetic Tattoo
  • Semi Permanent Makeup
  • Brow Tattoo
  • Microblading
  • Feathering
  • Tattoo
  • Hairstrokes
  • Ombre brows
  • Nano Blading
  • Feathering
  • Lip Blushing


They are all tattoos.  As artists, we are implanting pigment into the dermal layer of your skin to create an illusion of having beautifully shaped brows.  We are required to call it "permanent" because once the tattoo pigment is embedded into the skin, the pigment contains  low traces of iron oxide.  These microscopic particles are permanently in your skin.  It is not harmful.

However, the "color" of the pigment fades over time.  Like anything with color, if left out in the sunlight, the color will slowly fade.  Whether it's your furniture, colorful pillows, or favorite shoes, if left out in the sun for excess amount of period, the color will fade.  Since our face is exposed to the sun daily, whether driving, walking, or playing, the color of the permanent makeup will fade.  Tattoos that are hidden under clothing fades too.  However, the rate of the fade process is slower because it is protected under clothing.  Also, the tattoo on your body is heavily saturated with pigment.  Permanent makeup is a delicate procedure where minimal amounts of pigment is used to produce a natural look.

The term "Semi Permanent Makeup" is misleading because it is referring to "color" not "particles of pigment".  The client should always be aware that the pigment (color) will fade over time, however, the particles within the pigment is permanent in your skin.

Does Permanent Makeup and Microblading last forever or does it fade

Previous PMU faded lighter in color approx 15 months Permanent Makeup for the eyebrows is both permanent and not permanent at the same time. Microblading and nano blading are also forms of Permanent Makeup (PMU). In this discussion, we are only discussing Permanent Makeup for the eyebrows, not eyeliner PMU. Eyeliner is different because most artists use black pigment, while brow pigments are usually different shades of brown. Refreshed application of PMU The answer is both yes and no because Permanent Makeup pigment contains small traces of iron oxide. When a brown pigment is implanted into the skin, the iron oxide particles remain in the skin permanently. Your body does not fully absorb or remove iron oxide, which is why the term “Permanent Makeup” is used. However, even though the particles stay in the skin, the brown color or hue of the pigment can fade over time. Some brows become lighter and thinner, while others may eventually fade so much that they are almost invisible to the ...

Beautiful, balanced brows Permanent makeup and microblading mistakes are very common —stay calm... the good news is that most cosmetic tattoos  can be modified or improved in shape or color. Correcting permanent makeup is an artistic, multi-step process that focuses on three key factors: brow  color, shape, and placement . All three factors work together to create an illusion of refreshed, balanced, and beautiful eyebrows. Permanent Makeup  Brows Color correction is often the first step. Microbladed Brows sometimes fade gray, blue, pink, or peach over time. An experienced artist can adjust this by warming up gray tones or cooling down overly warm hues. However, this process usually takes multiple sessions, especially if the existing pigment is dark. Skin is not like paper—you can’t simply cover one color with another. New pigment blends with what’s already there and heals as a mix of colors, which is why patience is essential. Placement issues can also be improved...

Brow size matters

 Eyebrows are a bit like fashion trends: dramatic, unpredictable, and occasionally questionable in hindsight. If brows could talk, they’d probably say, “We’ve been through a lot.” Permanent Makeup Brows: Before/After Let’s take a quick stroll through brow history: In the 1950s, women were committed . Brows were shaved off and redrawn as skinny, upside-down “U” shapes—like two very surprised commas living on your forehead. Then came the 1970s, when Brooke Shields showed up and said, “What if we just… didn’t touch them?” Suddenly, bold, bushy, almost-unibrows were the moment. In the 80s and 90s, high arches created drama and Pazzaz!!! 2000s, South Korean Kpop stars brought in the flat with no arch brows. Fast forward to the 2010s, and the Kardashian family gave us full, structured, almost geometric brows—sharp, defined, and bold enough to have their own zip code. So now you might be wondering: High arch? Low arch? Straight across? Soft curve? What actually looks good on me ? ...
