Permanently Beautiful

Imagine two Christmas mornings. In one, your kids or nieces and nephews or grandchildren rush you out of bed. No time to even wash your face, much less moisturize, and forget about makeup. The kids simply can’t wait another second to start ripping and tearing into their loot to see what Santa brought. You gamely toss on your robe and troop downstairs only to be confronted by flashing cameras dutifully capturing the big moment. There you are: hair a bit disheveled, glassy eyes fading into your sallow face, lips dry and lifeless. Ugh! This is the moment your family is capturing for all eternity? Where can I hide?

Now imagine yourself after permanent makeup. You wake up smiling, knowing you look fabulous. Run a brush quickly through your hair. With perfectly lined eyes from permanent eyeliner and soft red lips from permanent lips you know you’ll look smashing in the family photos to come. That mildly disheveled look has turned sexy and alluring. Bring on the cameras. You’re ready to shine — and it’s only 5 A.M.!

Who wouldn’t prefer to star in scene #2? Sure, it’s too late for this year; but it’s not too late to treat yourself — or someone you love — to a permanent makeup gift certificate from the Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics. Make a holiday vow that this is the last year you’ll find yourself hiding from Christmas morning cameras. Next year — after permanent makeup — will be your Christmas to shine. Smile!

Does your sweetie need a little help in the gift-giving department? Is he always picking out clothing that wouldn’t fit a toothpick in colors you wouldn’t be caught dead in? Is your dresser lined with bottles of celebrity colognes? If all you can think of whenever he hands you an elegantly wrapped box is How long will I have to wait in the return line this year? Take pity on the poor guy and tell he what you really want — a holiday gift of permanent makeup.

Our favorite men really do want to give us holiday gifts that light up our eyes and make us happy. But let’s face it, a lot of guys were born without the fashion gene. So unless you love electronics, you really need to help them think outside the box. Permanent makeup is a gift you’ll treasure each and every day for the rest of your life. Permanent cosmetics is a gift of beauty, time and self-confidence. And it’s a gift he’ll enjoy seeing you wear every day — and night!

And gals, we’re not the only ones who like to put our best face forward. Maybe your guy is secretly hoping for permanent makeup for men in his Christmas stocking!

Happy Thanksgiving! You were up with the sun chopping and stuffing and peeling to get ready for the big feast. You’ve been darting back and forth between the kitchen and the tube trying to catch the big balloons and Broadway numbers in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Or you and your crew may even have decided to brave the cold and the crowds to try to elbow your way to the curb for a ringside seat! Whichever way your holiday began, it’s a certainty that the makeup you so carefully applied this morning has disappeared in a cloud of either potato steam or Manhattan exhaust fumes!

It’s not easy being a woman. If only there was a way to look beautiful every minute of every day — and night — without worrying about your makeup and constantly taking time to touch it up. Ah, but there is! Permanent makeup is a specialized form of cosmetic tattooing that enhances your natural beauty. No more long makeup sessions, no touch ups; just fabulous you 24/7. If you’re looking for a unique gift this holiday, give your special someone (or yourself) a gift she’ll thank you for every single day — and night! The gift of permanent makeup is a gift of perpetual beauty.

Everyone wants to see the hot, new, 5-star show. When you want to impress, you make reservations at an elegant 5-star restaurant. When you crave luxury, you book a room in a 5-star hotel. Five stars denote the best of the best. It’s the ultimate superlative. When something is ranked 5 stars you can be assured that it is the ultimate, most superlative in its class, the true peak of perfection.

In the world of beauty, permanent makeup is the ultimate 5-star gift. The gift of permanent makeup trumps that other pantheon to beauty — a luxurious day at a premier spa. The relaxation of a good massage begins to fade the moment you leave the spa. The clean, silky feel of a wonderful facial is gone by the next morning. The beautiful radiance of professionally applied makeup is washed away at the end of the day. But the luminous gift of permanent makeup is beauty that lasts forever. With the gift of permanent makeup you look beautifully radiant every hour of every day.

Clients of The Whitney Center for Permanent Cosmetics give us consistent 5-star ratings. Here’s what some of our clients have said about their permanent makeup experience with Melanie Whitney at The Whitney Center:

“Melany is truly a skillfully gifted artist. her work is subtle perfection. My friends still haven’t figured out why I look so wonderful!”

“I love my eyebrows! I was so impressed that Melany took so much time ‘planning’ them before she started the work. She’s truly a real pro.”

“My experience with Melany was exceptional … I love my results!”

Give your special someone — or treat yourself — to the ultimate 5-star beauty gift. Contact The Whitney Center for Permanent Makeup today to find out about gift certificates or make an appointment.

“Lost time is never found again. Do not squander time for that is the stuff life is made of,” said Benjamin Franklin, one of our country’s founding fathers. A philosopher and inventor, the Revolutionary War statesman also penned of many of the axioms that guide our lives today. Heralded as the most accomplished American of his age, Franklin exerted major influence on the formation of American society. Given the rich complexity of his own life, it is no wonder that Franklin valued time and refused to squander it on the inanities of life.

Franklin’s admonishments are as true today as they were more than two centuries ago. Our lives are so complicated by the pressing demands of family, work and community that it is impossible to accomplish everything we want to do. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to complete all the items on our daily to-do list, never mind finding the time to pursue our inner-most hopes and dreams. We spend so much time living that we forget to LIVE!

Take putting on your makeup. You may spend half and hour preparing yourself to meet the world. Just putting your best face forward requires the application of cleanser, moisturizer, concealer, foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, lip liner, lipstick and lip gloss. Naturally, there are periodic touch-ups during the day and a complete overhaul if you go out in the evening. Then there’s the tedious nightly process of removing everything and rejuvenating your skin. Franklin would be appalled by the amount of time we squander in the name of beauty.

Think what you could do with that time. Think of how much richer your life could be if a quick cleansing and moisturizing was all it took to put on a perfect face. Permanent makeup can decrease the time you spend just living and give you time to LIVE!

Even though it doesn’t come wrapped in one of those famous little blue boxes, the gift of permanent makeup will elicit the same stunned ohs and ahs as a diamond from Tiffany’s. Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but permanent makeup is a gift of personal beauty that will enrich every moment of your life. Permanent makeup doesn’t sit in an elegant box waiting to be taken out and worn on special occasions. Permanent makeup enhances your unique personal beauty every hour of every day, filling your life with an elegant sparkle and deep inner glow to rival any diamond.

Artfully applied permanent makeup is an intimate outward expression of your inner poise and beauty. It enhances the natural beauty of your features — eyes, brows, lips, cheeks — and can be used to correct any minor imperfections and flaws that may bother you. Those little flaws that only you see when you look in the mirror can slowly chip away at your self-esteem. Permanent makeup artfully hides those flaws so that you always present your best face to the world.
