Permanent Cosmetics Restore Sense of Femininity When Motor Skills Are Lost

Have you ever heard a woman say, “I feel naked until I put my face on”? For many women putting on their makeup is more than part of their morning routine, it’s a symbol of their femininity. Like doing their hair and dabbing on their favorite scent, applying eye makeup and lipstick makes women feel more beautiful, self-confident and ready to meet whatever the day has in store. Even women who favor the natural look and choose to skip foundation prefer the way they look with a dash of eyeliner, a swipe of mascara and a touch of lipstick. Makeup enhances our natural beauty and makes us feel good about ourselves.

A stroke, arthritis, muscular dystrophy, long illness, accident or other degenerative condition or disease strikes at the very core of who a person is as an individual and a woman. The inability to apply makeup when motor skills are lost and hands shake can be a tragic blow to a woman’s sense of femininity and sense of self. Without makeup she no longer sees in the mirror the woman she once was. It makes her loss cut even deeper. Permanent cosmetics can restore a woman’s sense of personal beauty and her self confidence in her appearance.

Artfully applied cosmetic tattooing can create beauty-enhancing permanent eyeliner, permanent eyebrows, permanent lips or even a full face enhancement. With permanent makeup, a woman who is no longer able to apply her own cosmetics can still look like she’s just applied fresh makeup.

Issues Eased by Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup can be useful for women who wish to wear makeup, but cannot apply it easily. There are many reasons that this might be the case, and permanent makeup might be right for you or someone you love.

Allergies
Some people find that they have allergies that keep them from being able to use makeup. Studies suggest that up to 10% of the population will have some type of reaction to a cosmetic over the course of a lifetime. Certain ingredients used in cosmetics, such as fragrances and preservatives, can act as antigens, substances that trigger an allergic reaction. In some cases, a person can develop an allergic sensitivity to a product after years of use.

Vision Related Issues
Women who wear contact lenses, may have repeated problems with irritation and infection.  Those with more severe vision deficits may find that magnified mirrors and intense lighting can only do so much. In such cases, permanent eye makeup can make life a lot easier.

Challenges with Precise Movements
For women who suffer from tremors, or have other restrictions on the precise movements of their fingers and hands from arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions, it can be nearly impossible to apply makeup well. Permanent makeup may give them a way to feel better about themselves despite the challenges they’re facing, offering a welcome boost to their morale.
