What is permanent makeup?
Permanent makeup is a way to achieve long-lasting makeup or improve the beauty and fix some flaws of the face. This method is safe yet a bit painful. Permanent makeup is an effective solution for people who:

- have pale lips or their lips and brows have an irregular shape or they have small eyes,
- have little time for makeup,
- wear eyeglasses or contact lenses,
- are allergic to some makeup cosmetics,
- want to look better,
- want to reconstruct facial features post-accident, surgery or other treatments,
- want to cover scars.
How does permanent makeup look like?
Skin is injected with the pigment using a very thin needle. The pigment is clinically tested which lessens irritation and complications risk. Permanent makeup is preceded by a consultation where pigment color and the line shape is chosen. After about a month another treatment is made in order to enhance makeup and make effects permanent.
How can you prepare for the treatment?
In general, there are no requirements as to preparations for the permanent makeup. However, you have to remember to take some antiviral drug to avoid herpes.
Is permanent makeup safe and painful?
Permanent makeup is safe because it uses clinically tested pigment. Before the procedure, local anesthesia is applied which greatly reduces pain.
