Permanently Beautiful

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.

Stumped about what to give the love of your life for the holidays this year? Still poking through stores looking for the ultimate “perfect gift”? Frantically searching the Internet for a unique gift that will WOW your special someone? With only 8 shopping days left, time is running out.

Jewelry and perfume used to be gift-giving staples men could rely on. But jewelry, while lovely, usually spends more time in the drawer than it does adorning your beloved. And the discomfort of allergy sufferers has nixed perfume from the workplace, making it an occasional weekend treat for your favorite lady. People are looking beyond the ordinary in their search for an extraordinary gift this season. With so many people suffering from the effects of the recession, ostentation is out and practicality is in. Even the Queen of England, mindful of her subjects’ suffering, has admonished the royal family to avoid flagrant spending.

Everyone is looking for thoughtful, useful gifts that will please the recipient without being insensitive to the economy, the environment or the host of other important issues we worry about these days. Given such strictures, it’s a daunting task to find a gift with the desired ability to make your favorite person gasp with delight and flush with pleasure. A gift of permanent makeup will do just that.

The ultimate gift of beauty, permanent makeup enhances the beauty of a woman’s natural features and can hide the small flaws and imperfections. In the artistic hands of highly acclaimed permanent cosmetics technician Melany Whitney, brows, eyes, lips or the entire face can be made permanently beautiful. The gift of permanent makeup guarantees that you look your most beautiful every moment of every day.
