You’ve likely heard someone on Instagram talking about how they just got their eyebrows microbladed or seen someone who always has the same subtle shade of lipstick on even after eating or drinking, or perfect eyeliner all the time. It may have left you wondering: is that permanent makeup? And if so, what is permanent makeup?

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent makeup, also called cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, is a procedure that mimics the look of applied makeup on the face and body. During the procedure, a permanent makeup artist carefully deposits ink into the epidermis, the skin’s top layer, about 0.1 to 0.2 millimeters thick. Depending on the desired outcome, technicians may use various methods, including machine-driven needles or manual handheld tools, to achieve the perfect result.

People choose permanent makeup for various reasons. For some, it’s about saving time in their daily routines, eliminating the need for constant application and touch-ups of traditional makeup. Others may opt for permanent make up to enhance features they feel are lacking or correct imperfections. Medical reasons also play a role, with permanent makeup offering solutions for individuals with conditions like alopecia and vitiligo or those undergoing chemotherapy, helping to restore a sense of normalcy and confidence in their appearance.

Permanent Makeup for Lips

Permanent makeup for lips is a great way to create the look you have always wanted for your lips, without fillers or surgery. Permanent lip makeup procedures define your lips, without creating excessive volume or puffiness. Lip designs are created with a wide range of pigment and cosmetic colors, to match every shade of lip color. 

At Cariangel Cosmetic and Medical Spa, we specialize in Lip Lining and Lip Blushing for our Scarsdale Clients.

Lip blushing
is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that uses colorful, natural pigments to enhance your lips’ natural color, shape, and definition.

Also known as aquarelle lip blushing, a lip blush tattoo helps enhance your natural lip color and shape by creating the illusion of fullness. This soft tattoo technique works by adding color to the skin for a healthy flushed look. The result is a bright and youthful appearance to the lips – a velvet lip blush.

 

The lip blush process involves minimal pain, easy healing, and no downtime. Do you want a slight reshape, more volume, the look of naturally blushed lips or a lipstick appearance? Our expert artists will make your velvet lip dreams come true.

Permanent Makeup for Eyebrows

Permanent Eyebrow Makeup is a technique that fills in the eyebrows with the desired pigment shade. It is safe, completely painless and provides long-lasting, natural results at good prices.

After the procedure, you will get full, perfectly shaped eyebrows with waterproof and smudge-free effect. There is a rich color palette to match your skin tone, hair and eye color.

Here is a list of procedures we do:

  • Nano Brows
  • Combo Brows (Shading + Realistic Nano Hairstrokes)
  • Powder Brows
  • Salt Removal
  • Brow Lamination & Tinting Combo

Permanent Makeup for Eyeliner

For many, achieving the perfect eyeliner look is a daily challenge. Permanent eyeliner offers a solution that ensures eyes are always defined and ready to face the day. (Source: 

Eyeliner Tattoo is meticulously applied using a small tattoo machine with very tiny needles.

The process is safe, minimally invasive, and offers outstanding, perfect results. Tattooed eyeliner is also customizable, offering four distinct styles. 

While permanent eyeliner application may be slightly more painful than a permanent eyebrow, numbing lotions can be used, and the process is usually completed in a short period.

What are the Major Benefits of Permanent Makeup?

Always Look Your Best
Permanent makeup gives you fuller-looking eyebrows, natural color on your lips, and a fresh appearance all the time. You don’t have to worry about sweating, swimming, or rainy weather making your makeup run.

Restore What’s Been Lost
Health challenges, medications, or even aging can change the way brows and lips look. Permanent makeup brings them back, helping you feel more like yourself again.

Make Life Easier
For those with shaky hands, arthritis, or vision problems, putting on makeup can be hard. Permanent makeup takes away that daily struggle and makes looking your best simple.

Saves Money Over Time
Buying regular makeup again and again can cost a lot of money. Makeup also expires and has to be thrown away. With permanent makeup, you only need to pay for touch-ups once in a while, which saves money in the long run. 

Permanent Makeup FAQs

How long permanent makeup lasts is different for everyone. Things like your skin type, your lifestyle, and the kind of procedure you choose all play a role. Most of the time, permanent makeup lasts about 1 to 5 years. The color slowly fades, so touch-up sessions are usually needed to keep your look fresh.

Everyone feels it a little differently. Before starting, your PMU artist will usually apply a numbing cream to help with any discomfort. More numbing can be added while the procedure is happening if needed. Most people say it feels like light scratching or a tingling sensation. It may not be completely painless, but it’s usually easy to handle.

  • The most common types of permanent makeup procedures include:

Eyebrow Tatooing:
Creating natural-looking eyebrows using fine, hair-like strokes and/or machine shading. The techniques applied with various tools create microblading, nanobrows, powder brows, and combo brows.Permanent Eyeliner:
Enhancing the eyes with permanent eyeliner in various styles.

Lip Blushing:
Adding color and definition to the lips for a more youthful appearance.

 

  • Yes, when it’s done by a trained and experienced professional, permanent makeup is usually safe. But just like any cosmetic procedure, there can be some risks. That’s why it’s so important to choose a licensed PMU artist who follows proper safety and cleanliness rules. Picking the right person helps keep the process safe and gives you peace of mind.

The cost of permanent makeup varies based on the procedure, and the geographic location. On average, permanent makeup procedures can range from $400 to $1000+ for the initial appointment and a touch up. It is important to note if the studio you are researching includes touch ups in the price or if they are additional. Everyone needs a touch up, even if it is presented as optional. You want to look perfect, right?

Before your permanent makeup appointment, it’s essential to:

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before the procedure.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements unless medically necessary.
  • Discontinue the use of retinol creams and other skin irritants in the treatment area.
  • Arrive at the appointment with clean skin and no makeup.

Aftercare is crucial to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results. Your PMU artist  will provide specific aftercare instructions, but generally, you should:

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry for a few days.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds.
  • Avoid swimming and saunas for at least two weeks.
  • Apply any recommended aftercare products as directed.

Even though it’s called “permanent makeup,” the results don’t last forever. The color slowly fades over time. If someone ever wants it fully removed, it can be very hard and may take many laser treatments—and sometimes it doesn’t go away completely.

That’s why it’s so important to choose your PMU artist with care. Talk openly about what you want, and make sure you feel comfortable before the procedure. A good tip is to look at the artist’s photo gallery of past work and read reviews from other clients. This helps you know you’re in safe, skilled hands.

Potential risks of permanent makeup include infection, allergic reactions to pigments, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the results. To reduce the risk of complications, follow aftercare instructions diligently and inform your technician about any medical conditions or allergies you may have.
