" Hi! I am Cherie Terry at Cherie Terry Permanent Cosmetics in Sedona, Arizona and on behalf of Expertvillage.com, I would like to talk to you a little bit about the inks I use. The company I use mainly is called Cleo Colors. She is located in Southern California from Laguna Beach. A lady that makes these, she has been in the business for over 30 years. She has had three tattoo shops in Laguna Beach and also her lab for color still in Laguna Beach. The name of the company Cleo Colors. She makes iron oxide colors. They are made with glycerine, alcohol and water. She has a very big pallet of colors. Okay, some of the colors I use depending on which color, what procedure you are doing depends on what color you are going to use. The brows you usually have about 4-5 different basic colors, which ton light brown, median brown, sunny brown and you can mix colors when you are using one company that you are very secure with and you know their clear schemes. You can mix colors for a set of eyebrows to get them perfectly. Also for the lips you have got the reds, pinks, the oranges. It does not look like I have a lot of colors for the lips, but because you can mix and match colors and blend them together to get the right color you do not need a huge wall of inks. Black, 99% of women actually use black eyeliner. Mainly because it stays really good, it looks really good. Most women use black eye mascara also. If you are going to put black mascara on, black eyeliner usually looks the best with it."
