The popularity of permanent cosmetics, or pigment, continues to grow each year. There is a real art requiring an in-depth knowledge of permanent make-up skills to be a successful permanent makeup artist. Follow these steps to learn how to buy permanent makeup ink.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide what type of pigment or ink you want to use for permanent makeup. Start with a manufacturer of ink that has a successful track record and the fewest adverse reactions, something you can learn through Internet research or asking suppliers. PMT/Permark's reputation exceeds all others with over 15 years of experience and satisfied customers.

  2. Step 2

    Determine what colors to use for the type of skin on which you plan to apply the permanent make up. Use a color chart for the best results. New colors arrive on the market regularly and you can mix some pigments to create the color you need. Red tones go with a sandstone colored skin. Even pale colored skin looks brilliant with chocolate colored eye liner.

  3. Step 3

    Zoom in on the effects you want to achieve from buying permanent makeup ink, deciding which facial features you want to enhance. Light eyebrows commonly need to be enhanced by darkening them with a somewhat darker
    shade.

  4. Step 4

    Consult a trusted dermatologist or other physician who knows the industry about the product you want to buy. The industry lacks regulation, so asking professionals in the field helps you make wise decisions.

Tips & Warnings
  • Permanent makeup works wonders on facial flaws that require camoflouging. The more you know about permanent makeup, the easier it will be for you to determine your needs.
  • Permanent makeup applies to lip liner, brows, eyeliner, reconstructive pigmentation, and other makeup corrections.
  • Some colors like yellow and brown fade faster than others.
  • The permanent makeup industry requires no FDA or other governmental regulations. Use only time tested pigments.
  • Consider the word "permanent" means lasting, committed. Therefore, permanent makeup must be applied by a professional, certified technician.
