I want to look good without spending a lot of time at the mirror ... I'm tired of doing make up every morning ... These problems are familiar to any woman. Modern cosmetology offers a way out - permanent make-up. Today we will talk in detail about the permanent make-up of the eyebrows.
What is the permanent make-up of the eyebrows?
As is known, our skin consists of several layers: a deeper - dermis and superficial - epidermis. During permanent make-up (or tattooing) with special needles, a special pigment is applied to the upper layers of the skin. As a result, you get a bright and clear eyebrow pattern.
Dyes for tattooing
To prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions with permanent make-up, only natural dyes are used. They include two main groups of components: organic and mineral pigments. The colors have a wide range of natural shades, so your eyebrows will perfectly match the color with your hair and look natural. With the help of a special mixer, the master will be able to mix an absolutely unique color for you.
Instruments
The main requirement for tools is sterility and the possibility of exclusively one-time use.
Needles must be professional. They are made of an alloy of steel, nickel and platinum. Thanks to the special sharpening "under the bullet" the tool allows minimally injuring the skin, and the dye is injected evenly and deeply.
Often used special machines for tattooing. The length of the needle is 2.9 mm., And the puncture frequency is from 45 to 200 per minute. Thanks to this tool, you can create the most thin and clear lines.
Contraindications
Like any medical procedure, tattooing has contraindications. Permanent makeup can not be performed if:
- you are pregnant or nursing;
- have serious diseases: AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, exacerbation of herpes.
- you are prone to allergic reactions:
- take blood-thinning medications;
- you have menstruation.
The procedure of permanent eyebrow makeup
If you decide to tattoo your eyebrows, then choose a good clinic, find out what kind of education and experience the master has, look at photos of his works and read reviews. Before the procedure, do not be lazy to make sure that disposable gloves and tools are used. The procedure itself will consist of the following steps:
- Cleansing the face with antiseptic means;
- Create a sketch. The master draws your future eyebrows, outlines their width, shape, bend. Special plastic stencils are often used. Remember that you must clearly express your wishes and do not hesitate to say that something does not suit you. At this stage, you can still change the result.
- Color matching. The golden rule of choosing the color of the eyebrows: in blondes - slightly darker than the roots, in brunettes and blondes - a little lighter. The paint looks a half tone darker than the desired color, with time it brightens.
- Choice of application technique. (See below for methods of application)
- Create a path. If you want anesthesia, then it is performed after the stroke has been created to avoid edema. Most often used cream "EMLA" or lidocaine spray.
- Performing tattooing and disinfection of the skin area.
- After the first stage of permanent make-up, a crust is formed. In a few days it will come down and it will be possible to carry out the correction.
Techniques for permanent eyebrow makeup
To achieve the best result, one of the most popular techniques is chosen.
Sewing (feathering). Suitable for those women who want to "paint over" the space between the hairs. Visually, the brows look very natural, as if slightly penciled.
Technology: the center of the eyebrow is applied a dark paint, to the contour it is "stretched" into a lighter shade.

Hair technology. The name speaks for itself. Eyebrows look bright, clear, hairs perfectly drawn.
According to the European technology, hairs, which grow after each other, are successively stained. The strokes should be neat and thin, at the base of the eyebrow the "hair" goes at a slight angle upwards, and at the upper border slightly rounded. The image will ideally repeat the natural growth of the eyebrow.
If you want to get thick eyebrows, where the hairs seem to be intertwined with each other, then you should choose the eastern technology. The strokes are made in different directions and from different angles.
- Tribal - this method of tattooing eyebrows is considered obsolete, but it is often used. First, a contour of the eyebrow is created, then the internal space is painted over. Typically, Tribal is used to hide skin defects.
Eyebrow care after permanent make-up
Immediately after performing tattooing, the skin around the eyebrows turns red, it is possible to isolate the syphilis and the appearance of small edema.
Such reactions take place fairly quickly (up to 10 days), if you observe simple rules.
- Do not rip off the crusts.
- Do not rub the skin with a towel and do not use scrubs.
- Do not visit the sauna, swimming pool, cosmetologist's office.
- Do not tweeze and not shave your eyebrows.
- Do not apply makeup on the eyebrow area.
- Do not sunbathe in the sun.
- To apply special wound-healing preparations, for example, "Bepanten" or "Rescuer".
Depending on the individual characteristics, tattooing can last from several months to 5 years. Plant components are washed out by natural blood flow, and mineral components are destroyed under the influence of ultraviolet. If you want to keep the result longer, then try:
- Do not abuse procedures that stimulate blood flow (massage, bath, peelings, etc.);
- not too active sunbathing;
- Do not apply cream with active fruit acids, as they contribute to the fading of the paint.
