Beautiful New Permanent Eyebrows

Ultimately, our eyebrows give our face expression. They also frame our face providing definition that makes our finished look more polished and naturally-looking. Proper tweezing and shaping of the brows should create the illusion of opening our eyes. This can also change the appearance of our face.

Whether someone is tired of plucking or waxing their brows on a weekly basis or just tired of having little or no eyebrow hair at all, permanent makeup for one’s eyebrows may be the answer. A professional permanent makeup technician specializes in perfecting the skin and face to look fresh everyday (with no work on your end)!

Professional permanent makeup technician such as Melany Whitney will provide perfect eyebrows for anyone with their initial consultation. After creating these brows, at one’s second session, she will perfect the shape and color to ensure they are perfect. The skin is allowed to heal in between sessions as nearly four weeks are placed in between the first and second appointments with Melany.

Permanent eyebrow makeup gives women extra time on a weekly basis to do something for herself. Instead of slaving away at the mirror with the tweezers or the expense of weekly waxing, this one-time procedure will provide perfect looking eyebrows that beautify a face.

The Whitney Center For Permanent Cosmetics provides premium permanent makeup services. Procedures such as permanent eyebrows allow patients to continue with their life, with no down time.

Have unsightly skin discoloration or other facial scars? Paramedical cosmetic tattooing may be the answer.

Paramedical cosmetic tattooing is a cosmetic procedure used to camouflage burns, scars and any other imperfections on the skin. Micropigmentation, a variation of this cosmetic procedure, provides coverage to women looking for increased coverage. During this procedure, pigment is implanted within the skin.

This paramedical procedure works well for women who want to hide their facial cosmetic surgery scars. Other surgical scars can be perfected too. Micropigmentation can also color the skin more evenly and break up scar tissue. This provides a nicer-looking finished result. The day of desiring a perfectly-evened skin tone and a healthy glow are over!  You can have it with our paramedical procedures.

For those who have not endured cosmetic surgery, a professional permanent makeup technician who specializes in paramedical procedures like Melany Whitney can also help correct some skin discolorations such as freckles, some lighter colored age spots and some birthmarks. Paramedical cosmetic tattooing provides instant results. For many women, this procedure offers them self confidence and a better quality of life.

No matter the reason for pursuing cosmetic tattooing, a professional permanent makeup technician will consult with each patient discovering what each individual women’s expectations are for the procedure. Ultimately, when choosing to embark on a change of face, it’s important to find a professional you can trust. You will be looking at yourself daily in the mirror and do not want to feel any regret for a cosmetic tattooing procedure.

We all have seen her in Maxim and on TV. Actress/model Kim Kardashian has women everywhere wishing they looked that good all the time. However, now it’s feasible with permanent makeup options. Kim is best known for her sultry dark eyes lined in black kohl eyeliner. Save yourself that step everyday and consider having eyeliner permanently tattooed on your eyes.

A permanent cosmetic technician can determine what is best for your complexion, hair color and personal preference. No more crooked or too thick lines around your eyes, your look will look flawless everyday! Spare yourself the expenses and inconvenience of putting eye makeup on every morning.

If you’re undecided on permanent makeup for the time being, here are some tips on mastering the perfect smoky eye look:

• Gather everything you need to complete the look including concealer, black eyeliner, dark brown and neutral colored eyeshadows, black mascara and makeup brushes.
• Cover your eye with concealer or some other base (one great base is a MAC paint pot).
• Pencil your eyelids as close to eyelid as possible with your eye liner pencil into the inner corner of the eye.
• Brush the light color eyeshadow across your entire lid and into your crease (the portion of your eye above and slightly below your browbone).
• Apply the darker eyeshadow and put it in the crease. This should create an illusion of dark shadow, light shadow, dark liner.
• Use a smudge brush (or a cotton swab) to smudge the eyeliner, on both top and bottom.
• Finish with black mascara.

Beautiful newly done eyebrows.

Don’t just think anyone can or should do your eyebrows when you are ready to experience the freedom from makeup now that you are over your fear of tattoos. Think only of Melany Whitney, the expert when it comes to permanent makeup for YOUR face.

Every week we all love to hate Gossip Girl fashionista Leighton Meester. But love her or hate her, we all adore checking out her posh wardrobe and glam make-up. Lately she’s been right on trend wearing a semi-matte, deep-hued lipstick. As our girl Blair demonstrates, in order to pull off a so-bold-it-could-stop-traffic kind of color, it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup toned down so you don’t overwhelm the look.

Is a sassy lipstick look something you might want to duplicate? If so, follow these tips on how to keep such a hot color looking very cool:

• Apply lip liner in a shade similar to your lipstick. Outline, following the natural shape of your lips, and then fill in completely. By using liner as a base, your color will wear longer and bolder. It helps prevent color from bleeding, too.
• Using a lip brush, apply lipstick. Start in the center, working out as you go. Fix any harsh lines or mistakes with a Q-tip.

Or you could make it a whole lot easier and be sure your lips always look Gossip Girl good with lip liner and fill-in color added to your lips with permanent make-up. No fumbling for lip gloss and a mirror. No awkward re-application in public. No bleeding color or smears. Your lips always look luscious. The lip liner can even be tattooed on the outer edge of your lips for a fuller poutier look. XOXO.

Let’s face it. Face, hair or figure, certain female physical traits have been considered as classic beauty by our culture for centuries.  Tastes change and politics change. But some things remain the same.

Take hair. We’ve had feminists, mullets and mohawks. Yet most people – male and female – still consider long flowing tresses to be a key part of feminine allure.  Venus on that half shell and Mona Lisa both have long locks just like Brigitte Bardot and Beyonce.

Scientists who have studied trait preferences will tell you it’s because long hair symbolizes youth and vitality. Males are programmed to be attracted to ladies with long hair, large eyes, rosy lips and symmetrical figures.

Scientists will further tell you that all of this is because the attracting traits that signify a young female indicate fertility. It’s those genes talking. But the funny thing is even if a guy doesn’t want any heirs, he’s still attracted to long hair and all the rest.

So why not just follow the rules of attraction?  To turn heads, simply let your hair down and augment your lips, eyes and eyebrows with permanent makeup.

Today’s magnificent lip colors will make your lips look beautiful, soft and natural, just as if you were born that way. No need for that painted lipstick look although you can always put lipstick on over permanent color when you want extra drama. Add some permanent eyeliner and brows, and you’re putting you’re best face forward.  Fluff your hair to its fullest potential. And voila, you’re a classic beauty.

How do celebs look so good year after year?  Take Sandra Bullock. Remember her in Speed with Keanu Reeves? That was 1994. Check her out in her current starring role as role as aggressive executive Margaret Tate in The Proposal.  She looks awesome, totally fit and gorgeous without the uber biceps look Madonna sports these days.

But according to InStyle magazine, Bullock’s trim shape has everything to do with working out. Apparently she does a lot of Pilates, kick boxing and weight training in L.A. with a trainer. When she’s at her Texas ranch, she runs or bikes.

She spent 3 to 4 days a week with a trainer to prepare her for The Proposal.  In order to look sleek and slim in tailored power suits, her trainer had her doing pylometrics along with her weight training, Pilates and boxing. Bullock says the variety keeps her workout fresh and helps her maintain motivation to stay healthy and fit, but don’t think that’s her only incentive. She knows she needs to work it in order to look good on film.  Just like you need to work out to look good in your Facebook photos or YouTube videos.  These days we’re all on film.

No time to work out?  Something’s gotta give. There’s no faking fitness. But ease your time crunch and make more time for crunches with permanent makeup. It’s faster to dash from gym to office if you can skip all that careful eyeliner, eyebrow and lip liner application.  With permanent makeup, you’re always good to go.

As women age, looking good may not mean looking young. Trying too hard to look young can come off as silly or just plain sad. It could be just an outfit that is too juvenile like a halter top atop a pair of Daisy Dukes on a 50 year-old. Or it could be something far worse – too much cosmetic surgery.

Think of fish lips Meg Ryan who is almost unrecognizable now at age 47 compared to sexy-at-63 Helen Mirren who clearly has not had a facelift.

And under no circumstances, should any woman consider cosmetic surgery DIY territory. We recently read a sad tale of a 54 year-old woman who suffered complications from trying to perform cosmetic surgery on herself.

The 54-year-old woman declined to give her name, but told reporters that she ordered a $10 vial of liquid silicone online and injected it into her lips and cheeks a month ago.

She underwent corrective surgery to undo the red swollen results of her DIY project. But because doctors aren’t sure exactly what she injected, they said it could take multiple procedures to fix.

Her photo is so scary that it makes Meg Ryan seem like, well, Helen Mirren.

But even Helen Mirren probably gets permanent eyeliner for a little extra oomph. Permanent makeup is much more affordable than a facelift, much less risky and helps you look your best at any age – without looking fake or silly.

The new summer movie, “My Sister’s Keeper,” puts out there on the big screen what people look like when they undergo chemotherapy.  In the film, the older of two girls in a family has leukemia and the younger sues to stop having to donate her body parts to keep her sister alive. The sister with the illness is realistically shown with no hair, eyelashes or eyebrows.

As often supportive friends and family do, the mother in the movie, played by Cameron Diaz, shaves her own hair so she will be bald like her cancer-stricken daughter. But she still is Cameron Diaz and still looks beautiful. She still has her striking eyebrows and eyelashes. People undergoing chemotherapy don’t. And it can make the ordeal even more devastating. Especially for women who in our culture continue to have a premium placed on their looks.

Permanent makeup can help give anyone facing chemotherapy – a child, man or woman – the chance to feel better about themselves when they look in the mirror. And they deserve every bit of feeling better that they can get. Applied by a professional, permanent makeup can give them eyebrows and eyes that help them look like their former selves.

It may be better for someone who has cancer to have permanent makeup applied before chemotherapy or in the early stages of treatment to reduce stress and promote healing. A doctor’s release should be provided. Alternatively, with approval of the physician, permanent makeup can be applied in the midst of a course of chemotherapy during an off-week when no chemo drugs are administered. Advance approval of the doctor is recommended for all attendees before enrolling in the clinic.
