But just like any masterpiece, its brilliance depends on how well you preserve it. Here's your go-to guide for keeping your permanent makeup fresh, defined, and beautifully pigmented for years to come. 🌞 Shield from the Sun: Your Color’s Greatest Enemy 1.  The number one culprit behind fading? UV exposure. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher on tattooed areas, even if it’s cloudy. Wear wide-brimmed hats and large sunglasses for extra protection.

When tattooing Permanent Eyeliner , some clients have small white bumps on or near their eyes. Milia are small white bumps that form around the eyes and eyelids. They can form anywhere on the face, but the eye area is the most noticeable. What are they and what can I do to remove them? And most importantly, how do I prevent new ones? Milia are dead skin cells trapped under your skin and it forms into cysts. They are not painful nor harmful, but they are annoying when applying makeup. Milia is not a white head acne, where you can press the surrounding area to squeeze out the gooey puss. Milia seeds tends to be a little more cohesive and gummy in texture. Can they be easily removed? The answer is Yes and No. With the proper tool, angle and technique they can be quickly expelled. But unlike pimples, it’s not as easy to remove on your own.

When I first started Permanent Makeup Artistry, I was trying to find a niche market.  How can I be different from every other Permanent Makeup Artist? I started thinking..."what if I marketed "Organic" pigment that's made from natural plants and extracts?' I found a Pigment Manufacturer who claimed that her pigments are "Organic". I soon discovered that Organic pigment still contains Iron Oxide otherwise our skin would quickly absorb pure 'Organic' extracts.  As a result, the pigment wouldn't last. So whether someone tells you they use 'organic' or 'in-organic' pigment, they all have low doses of iron oxide.  The traces are low, therefore, not harmful to your body. By the way, I soon discovered that every Permanent Makeup Artist is unique.  They put their art on women's faces.  Our clients trust us to make them more beautiful than when they first walked in.  Our job is to make your brows frame and enhanc...
