What can be more tempting than an indelible make-up ?! Not persistent, which is not afraid of the vagaries of the weather, namely indelible. This is the same result that is always there - even if you just woke up. However, the consequences after permanent make-up can be different - both positive and negative.
Permanent make-up - a service for Russia is no longer a new one. The opportunity to become more beautiful inevitably causes women and great curiosity, and at the same time a lot of fears. Sometimes cosmetologists are asked and do ridiculous questions, for example: "Will the hairs on the eyebrows shaved off before the procedure of permanent make-up?" Let's try to clarify the situation.
What are the indisputable advantages of permanent make-up?
- You will look great in any life collisions, whether it is visiting a bath or pool, sports classes or the African heat causing active sweating. You will not need to tint your lips after every meal or even a cup of coffee. Or be wary of accidentally erasing eyeliner from eyelids or eyebrows.
- Permanent make-up is an excellent way out for those women who are allergic to decorative cosmetics, but are eager to embellish themselves.
- "Long-playing" make-up inspires confidence in those who with age completely "erased" the contour of the lips or as a result of some manipulations eyebrows dropped. And the ladies, who every day have to significantly adjust their features with a cosmetic pencil, this procedure will make life much easier.
However, it is also not worth losing one's head from the opening prospects. Whatever it says, permanent make-up is a serious procedure. Unfortunately, permanent make-up sometimes gives such "side effects", which are difficult to know in advance and almost impossible to prevent. For example, the contour may not fade with time, but simply disappear, with "chunks", turning into a ragged dotted line. Or the pigment on the lips suddenly in a year from crimson will become bright-carrots. To be safe from such surprises it is possible only in one way: to carry out the procedure only in those salons where your acquaintances or relatives have long and successfully gone.
Anyone wishing to resort to permanent make-up should bear in mind that:
- Not all salons offering such a service have a license for permanent make-up. So, first of all insistently demand to show you this document - why risk your health ?!
- Tattooing - the procedure is painful, and therefore done under local anesthesia. Be sure to find out which medication is used by an expert in your chosen salon. For example, novocaine, although cheap, but does not fit all and has a lot of side effects - from drowsiness to fainting. It is better not to save on anesthesia.
- Sensitive skin sometimes rejects the pigment. And in order not to waste money or not to undergo twice this far from the most pleasant procedure, it is better to consult with an experienced beautician or dermatologist, whether it is worth it to do this kind of make-up.
What features are usually decorated with permanent makeup?
Eyelids. Apply eyeliner on the upper and (or) lower eyelid, arrows. It is possible to shade over the upper eyelid "a-la shade."
Lips. Apply a contour line with a feather or without.
Eyebrows. Apply one line, make a feather or even "draw" the missing hairs.
Cheeks, chin, area above the upper lip. In these places, fans of "flies" usually prefer to make themselves playful artificial moles.
How does the procedure work?
- First, the master draws the necessary lines with a pencil. Of course, such a note can be changed as many times as necessary until the desired effect is achieved.
- Then (after anesthesia - preferably in the form of a gel or aerosol), a dye is applied to the skin through a pencil line with a thin needle. First, they cut the contour, then make numerous hardly noticeable dots or strokes, creating the effect of feathering (or hairs on the eyebrows). The duration of the procedure varies from 30 minutes - the creation of a fly, up to 3 hours - a tattoo of eyelids or lips with feathering.
- Permanent makeup is not recommended to do on the eve of responsible events. Immediately, the swelling subsides usually after a few hours, but small crusts may persist for several days. Of course, the master will tell you the tools that will help to heal the traces of injections.
The effect of the procedure is maintained for 2-5 years. After all, skin cells are constantly updated, so the pigment is gradually "erased". Approximately in 2 - 3,5 years (depending on the professionalism of the master, the composition of the dye and the characteristics of your skin), it may be necessary to adjust the permanent padding. But if you decide to continue to live without tattooing or you just have no time to run to the salon, you can mask the "fading" tattoo with an ordinary pencil for eyelids or lips.
Do not try to make a bright and shocking permanent make-up. Think about how you will look in the office with a full battle paint! It is better to confine yourself to a quiet daytime make-up, which on the occasion of the holiday is easy to supplement and embellish. In general, about the consequences after permanent make-up you are warned.
