We’ve all seen people who draw their eyebrows on too thick, or people who may have used a little too much lip liner that day. But what if people started having their makeup done like that permanently? A new rage that has been creeping it’s why up is permanent makeup.
The procedure is very similar to getting a tattoo but tattoos use an ink while according to the Food and Drug Administrator (FDA) permanent makeup is considered a cosmetic. The most commonly bought makeup cosmetics are eyeliner and lip liner or eyebrow pencils. The most common permanent makeup procedures done are eyebrows and lips according to Stephanie Drumwright, a permanent makeup artist.
A benefit of permanent makeup is that it is less painful than a regular tattoo. The most pain people usually feel is just a slight discomfort even though the procedure is done with the same type of needle and rotary device tattoos are done with. But it does take more than one application to get the desired look or darkness for some patients.
Although the world of permanent makeup is new, it is a growing and expanding beauty epidemic that is slowly taking over the cosmetology world with tattoos.
