- Permanent makeup replaces all or part of a daily makeup routine. The cosmetician injects dye just under the top layer of the skin to enhance facial features. As a woman ages, her lips may thin or her hands may become unsteady as she tries to apply eyeliner. In addition, some women are allergic to the ingredients found in cosmetics making permanent makeup a viable solution.
- With carefully applied micropigmentation, a woman may skip the application of lipstick, eyeliner or eyebrow pencil and apply just a foundation makeup or wear no makeup at all. This allows women with permanent makeup to look their best with minimal effort.
- The most common permanent form of makeup is the widening of the lip line and the coloring of the lips. Also popular are the micropigmentation of the eyebrows to fill in gaps and the application of permanent eyeliner on the upper lid of the eye. Occasionally, the client also requests liner on the lower eyelid. Blush is the least requested form of micropigmentation and is often discouraged by professionals since the cheekbone area on a woman changes over time as her facial muscles relax.
- Permanent makeup is not for everyone. Women with Type II diabetes should clear the procedure with their family doctor before undergoing micropigmentation. In addition, notify the makeup artist if you suffer from fever blisters to receive pre-treatment.
- The biggest complaint from women who undergo a permanent makeup procedure is unhappiness with the way they look. Because of this, it is imperative for a woman to apply her makeup exactly as she desires to look when she undergoes the procedure. The cosmetician will use this as the standard by which to apply the pigment. After receiving permanent makeup, you are unable to donate blood for one year and you must notify your doctor if he schedules you for an MRI test.

on 12/26/2008 Permanent Makeup is more appropriately called Cosmetic Tattooing because that is exactly what it is, a cosmetic tattoo in process.
