Dated
One of the most common stereotypes about permanent makeup is its irrelevance. Pictures of outdated, not very high-quality works with an inversion of the shade or an incorrectly chosen form immediately appear before your eyes. However, today permanent makeup is not like it was a few years ago. Now completely new techniques have emerged:
– hairy
– contour decorative
– spraying powder on eyebrows
— Permanent lips using 3D technology
Despite the wide variety of techniques, it is important to understand that the final result also depends on the pigments.
— Mineral inorganic pigments create a natural effect and can be removed from the skin in about a year if the color is chosen correctly and the technology is followed.
— Hybrid organic pigments, on the contrary, stay on the skin for a long time.
Of course, the client does not and does not have to know all the details, so it is necessary to evaluate the professionalism and experience of the master.
It hurts
Many people believe that the process of creating permanent makeup is quite painful. Usually people are afraid when they see this from the outside or they notice swelling immediately after the tattoo. If the master follows all the rules and chooses the correct method of cooling and anesthetizing the area where the permanent is applied, the client will not experience serious discomfort. Yes, discomfort is possible, but as a rule it is quite tolerable.
unpredictable outcome
Another concern is that the permanent may change color or shape over time. This happens only if the master is not a professional, goes too deep into the skin and often incorrectly places the pigment or uses low-quality materials in the work. In all other cases such a risk is excluded.
Therefore, it is very important to take a responsible approach to choosing a master. First of all, it is necessary to evaluate its professionalism, for example, a portfolio – using photos and videos of work with minimal retouching. Also, do not hesitate to ask the master for training documents and conformity certificates regarding the products and equipment he uses.

Only needed for sparse eyebrows
Thanks to permanent make-up, you can add thickness to your eyebrows, enhance their natural color and adjust their shape. However, the possibilities of tattooing are much wider: for example, the procedure allows you to make your eyes more expressive and bright by working on the edge of the eyelashes, makes it possible to correct asymmetry, blurred contours and lip color, and that’s not all.
“Comes out” in pieces
This fear is unfounded since mineral pigments that do not create a gradient effect over time are used during the process. After about a year, the pigment disappears and the treated area returns to its original state without any scars or lines. Meanwhile, eye tattoos can last just over a year, thanks to the use of black pigment.
always visible
Today, more and more experts are working on techniques that enhance and highlight natural beauty in the field of permanent make-up. This includes, for example, eye tattooing, when an inter-lash contour is created with a small arrow to visually “open the eyes”. You can also add light shadow shading for maximum naturalness.
In addition, understanding the importance of preserving naturalness, it is not recommended to emphasize the lower eyelid, as this technique will contribute to the narrowing of the eyes. But you can emphasize your eyes by highlighting only the lower corner.
Cannot be done after lip contouring
There is no such contradiction. On the contrary, in some cases, permanent makeup is recommended after lip contouring because it not only restores the shine of the lips but also helps hide Fordyce granules. These are mild acne, sebaceous glands that can occur on the oral mucosa, cheeks and lips. Most of the time, patients notice these after lip contouring, and lip tattooing is the only effective solution to correct them.
