Permanently Beautiful

The almond shaped eyes that are characteristic of women of Asian descent have always been known for their beauty.  Those who have Asian eyes often have unique eyebrow color, skin tone, eye color, and eyelid type as well.  As with all individuals who have unique features, special makeup and cosmetics techniques are required for playing up those features in the most flattering way possible.

When it comes to shaping and drawing in Asian eyebrows, it is important for an appropriate color to be used, one that blends well and compliments Asian skin tone.  The Asian Eye Experts at the Melany Whitney Centers in New Jersey, New York City, and Boca Raton Florida provide permanent eyebrows in a gorgeous natural looking shade of warm browns as well as the other shades that help client’s to get the look they desire.

Since Asian eyebrows are sometimes naturally sparse, the permanent cosmetics experts at the center help woman to get the look of a full natural brow by using meticulously placed hairline strokes to form flattering arches using warm pigmentation techniques suited to individual client skin tone.

Woman who receive permanent eyebrows at the center experience no downtime so they are able to go right back to work, school, or wherever their life takes them the very same day.  Only, afterwards, they’ll able to go on with the improved confidence that their new and improved eyebrows bring them!

Did you ever think about just how much a trip to the salon really costs you?  If you’re like many women, you need to visit your salon at least bi-monthly to maintain well groomed brows.  Eyebrow shaping and/or waxing can range anywhere from $8 to $45 per visit on average.  Many women need to visit their salon at least bi-monthly to maintain well groomed, well arched brows.  That adds a recurring cost of anywhere from $16-$90 on average to your monthly budget.

Even if your waxing salon is fairly close to home, you will still usually need to drive a few miles and from the salon each time you go.  With gas prices always increasing, the cost of your trip is always increasing as well.  You can add at least three to ten dollars to every salon trip just for gas alone, but luckily there is an easier way!

You can get perfectly arched brows without going to the see your waxer more than you probably see most of your family members!  Permanent makeup offers the perfect solution.  Having permanent brows drawn on once can save you hundreds and even thousands of dollars in trips to the salon over the course of your life time and you’ll never have to worry about your eyebrow waxer or shaper making a mistake!  Experts at the Melany Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics are not only eyebrow experts, but also Asian eye experts as well, so no matter what your ethnicity, you’ll be sure to love your new look.

As the days get warmer and longer, many women spend more and more time in the sun.  This can be bad news for our eyebrows!  Even dark eyebrows fade easily in the sun, often into a less than flattering brassy color, and eyebrows that are very light to begin with may become so pale that they are hard to see.

To remedy this, many women opt to tint or dye their brows darker throughout the year as needed in an effort to forego daily use of eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder.  While eyebrow print might achieve this purpose if done perfectly, it can be very difficult to do correctly.  From choosing the perfect color, to ensuring you don’t get dye on your skin and in your eyes, the whole process can be quite tricky.

Additionally, eyebrows will only “hold on” to hair follicles for a significant period of time, not skin.  Therefore if your hairs are sparse, dye may not help to sufficiently make your eyebrows look thicker or darker.  What’s worse?  The dye can fade out easily with regular face washing and leave your eyebrows brassy and damaged.

Having and expert Boca Raton permanent makeup artist apply permanent brows, however, is a great alternative to monthly, or even weekly eyebrow tinting.  Permanent makeup can give you the darker, thicker looking brows you want without any downtime or the need to reapply them regularly yourself.

During the past few years, the Asian art of eyebrow threading became popular in metropolises like New York, New York and eventually spread to salons and mall kiosks throughout the country.   Chances are you’ve passed by an eyebrow threading kiosk in your local mall during a recent shopping trip.  You may have even wondered whether or not eyebrow threading can help you get the eyebrows that best compliment your face.

Removing eyebrow hair using thread is an ancient beauty practice that originated in Eastern countries like Egypt, India, and China.  Practitioners remove individual hairs by twisting a thin cotton thread to trap hair in a “mini lasso” before pulling them out.  Eyebrow threading can help to remove stray hairs and the results can last up to six weeks.  However, if done incorrectly, re-growth may occur much more quickly.

An additional “con” of this practice is its inability to create the look of growth where the look of growth is needed to create a more flattering eyebrow shape for Asian women or women of any other ethnicity.  If you’re looking for permanently perfectly shaped eyebrows, eyebrow threading is not the best choice.

An expert New York City permanent makeup artist can provide you with perfectly shaped eyebrows all year long and save you the time, money, and attention that both tweezing and eyebrow threading repeatedly require.  In addition, unlike tweezing and threading, Asian permanent eyebrows can provide fullness where nature has come up short!

Can eyebrow shape completely change the image you present to world?  It’s not a stretch to say it certainly can.  Through what some call “the secret language of eyebrows,” your eyebrows could possibly be conveying an inaccurate message to the world.

In a study coauthored by John Persing, MD, a professor of plastic surgery at Yale University School of Medicine, researchers digitally altered images of the female face, varying up eyebrow shapes on individual women.  After showing the pictures to viewers, they found that “even subtle variations in the brows had a significant effect on how the woman’s mood was perceived.”

Different eyebrow shapes evoked significantly different interpretations from the public.  They seemed to influence just how fatigued, surprised, angry, sad, or fearful the women from the photos were rated.  Eyebrows on many women including those of Asian and Caucasian descent are often sparse and somewhat uneven.  As the research follows, these women could be prejudged as being shocked, puzzled, lacking confidence, and even immature when in reality none of those things are true.

It has long been said that our eyes tell our story, and now researchers are finding that our eyebrows send a message as well.  For the many women who choose to have eyelid surgery in order to look more youthful, more awake, or in the case of eyelid fold creation, more “westernized,” this means that eyebrow application by a permanent makeup artist is the perfect compliment.

How do celebrities get their perfect eyebrows?  Make no mistake – most were certainly not born with them.  If fact, it’s important to remember that celebrities usually have the best makeup artists waiting in the wings to create the perfection that you see on the silver screen as well as at galas or simply on the internet.  Remember that you too can have perfect brows.

Love Natalie Portman’s perfectly groomed brows?  Her makeup artist, Jeanine Lobell states that she usually brow color on Natalie, and less of it where her brows are the thickest.  She uses a taupe shade to fill in her brows starting at the inner corners and moving out over the arches.  She also uses a soft brown from the arches to the ends.  Lobell uses the two tone technique to create more of a natural look.

Remember, that many celebrities and fashionistas achieve their perfected brow look with the help of a Boca Raton permanent makeup.  The expert single stroke technique used by Melany Whitney herself, who has been working out of her Boca Raton, Florida office for over a decade, allows celebs and regular women alike to achieve perfect permanent eyebrows that look very natural as well.  Advantages of going the permanent makeup route include affordability, time savings, and, of course the fact that you’ll never have to worry if you’re makeup artist isn’t on hand at all times.

According to reporter Michelle Man of BN Magazine and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 2005, plastic surgeons witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of non-Caucasians in the United States opting to have plastic surgery.

The spike in number was particularly dramatic among English Speaking Asians, Latinos, and African Americans.  Increasing numbers of women with Asian Ethnic background continue to undergo the three common Western plastic surgeries.  These include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), breast augmentation (breast enlargement), and perhaps most notably, bletharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

Generally, instead of opting for the usual droopy eyelid removal that bletharoplasty commonly involves, Westernized sophisticated Asian women are often opting to create the look of the bigger, rounder, eyes with the “double lids” that are common in American Caucasians.

Plastic surgery is a personal choice, no matter what ethnic group a man or woman originates from.  Fortunately modern surgeons offer a variety of options for those who can be made more comfortable and confident by a few cosmetic changes.  It’s important to remember that permanent cosmetics or paramedical tattooing can often pick up where a surgeon leaves off.

For women who have had eyelid surgery and would like new and improved full and beautifully arched permanent eyebrows to complete their new look, The Melany Whitney Center for New York permanent cosmetics offers a great solution.

If you are a woman who doesn’t like your eyebrows, you’re not alone.  Women all over the country from Boca Raton, Florida to New York, New York and everywhere in between are always looking for a solution to get perfectly beautiful brows.  There are many reasons for this.  Many women are born with imperfect brows, while others lose their attractive arches later in life.

Some women are born with eyesbrows that naturally lack an arch while others are born with a natural eyebrow shape that, although original, does not best compliment their face shape.  Many women are born with eyebrows that are naturally thin, without enough hair growing to create a beautiful arch and some women have full well arched brows that are however, sagging too low on their face, creating a furrowed aged look.  Furthermore, while in their teen years, many women also over-tweeze their eyebrows, leaving an uneven growth pattern, and an unflatteringly thin brow that will not fully grow back.  Others may loose their naturally beautiful brows due to stress induced alopecia or chemotherapy.

Fortunately, Melany Whitney can help all of these women by creating new permanent eyebrows.  Using a meticulous single stroke technique, Melany creates the look of individual hairs, just like those seen in natural brows.  She has been working out of her Boca Raton, Florida office for 11 years so that each of her Florida patients is treated to a consultation with a world renowned Boca Raton permanent makeup professional at a price they can afford.

Natural looking eyebrows aren’t just in this season, they are always chic.  Runway looks may come and go but natural, well shaped eyebrows are always beautiful.  Women in Florida and all over the world have strived to get the perfect brow for decades.  It has long been said that if the eyes are the windows to the soul, they should be properly framed.  Having the right eyebrow look can great improve a woman’s appearance and make her look younger.

Many women are not born with quite enough hair to get the natural eyebrow shape or look that they want.  Luckily women with alopecia or those who have over tweezed their brows in the past can still get perfect natural looking eyebrows.  At the Florida offices of the Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics, permanent makeup artists apply soft natural-looking permanent eyebrows with a special technique that beautifully simulates the feathered hair look of natural brows.

Remember that in Florida permanent cosmetic eyebrows do not mean having eyebrows tattooed on in blue, black, or purple in the look of solid magic marker.  At the Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics, only natural colored dyes and techniques are used, leaving women with eyebrows that look like they were born with them.

One of the hot beauty trends for fall and spring 2011 is fuller brows. Let’s face it. Not many of us have naturally full brows with the perfect arch. Many women spend years and hundreds of dollars, not to mention countless hours in the mirror, trying to get the perfectly arched brow – one that isn’t too bushy or too sparse. Consider these tips to get (or fake) thicker eyebrows.

In a recent article in Cosmopolitan inspired by the Spring 2011 runway show, artist makeup Hibba Kapil suggested using pencil to fill in areas of your brow that have gone missing, either from birth or by way of over-tweezing. Be careful when using this method as you’ll want to match your brow hair color as much as possible. You’ll also want to be careful to draw in hairs in such a way that they look natural.

Many makeup artists use powder to make eyebrows appear thicker. Using a brush to dust colored powder over the brow can give the appearance of slightly thicker brow hair. Without using stencil, however, powdering in the perfect arch can be tough.

If you want to save time and money, you’ll want to strongly consider permanent brow enhancement. This technique is perfect for men and women who lack a goo arch, eyebrow thickness, or have over-tweezed their brows. The Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics can have you ready for Fall/Spring 2011 in no time without any downtime by skillfully creating the perfect brow for you, permanently.
