Permanently Beautiful

Permanent makeup is a highly specialized form of cosmetic tattooing. Also called micropigmentation, the state-of-the-art procedure carefully implants natural color pigments just beneath the skin’s surface layer. However, proficiency with a tattoo gun doesn’t mean a technician is adept at using it to create flawless arches or perfectly-shaped lips. The successful application of permanent cosmetics depends as much on the technician’s artistic ability as her technical skill. There is an art to creating a natural-looking brow line and blending colors to match and complement skin tones. Experience, training and talent are all important in achieving successful results.

If you are considering permanent cosmetics, you should thoroughly interview the technician and review her portfolio. Her style should match your own. Ask for references and speak to other clients about their experiences. If your state requires board certification, make sure the technician is fully licensed. Your technician should also be certified by the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP), the field’s governing body, and take regular continuing education courses to stay abreast of new techniques in this rapidly evolving field.
