Permanent makeup?

Question

Yes or no.... Please someone who knows what they are talking about....

The oven blew up in my face last summer. Amazingly it didnt scar but it MESSED my eyebrows up bad! I am so sick of drawing them on but the only people I know who have them are Michael Jacson and Liz Taylor....lol Bad examples huh!

Jackson lol... and should I get full brows or the lines if any?

Answer 1

continue to draw on your eyebrows just make sure you never touch permanent makeup! If you do a mistake you won't be able to get rid of it. In time they'll grow back. Pick a colour that matches your skin tone and looks good on you.
Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

I think it only makes sense if you have a medical issue that prevents you from using makeup regularly. For example, if you have chronic shaking hands from an illness and can't apply eyeliner neatly, it might make sense to have permanent eyeliner done. Or if you had a head injury that caused scarring over your brows and they didn't grow back, permanent brows might make sense. Other than that -- I don't think it's a good idea. How do you know what your face is going to look like in 10 years or 20? What if you develop sags or wrinkles in unexpected places. Nah - the most fun part of make up is that it's temporary and you can start over every day from scratch!

I hope this helps in your search for an answer.
I have a tatoo which I got about 10 years ago. It is starting to blur a little and I asked the tatoo guy (who was giving me a new one on the other arm) what he could do to freshen it up. He said that they get blurry after time and they could freshen it up but in time you couldn't fix it the way it used to be. Since having a tatoo for several years i have checked out old guys to see the condition of their tatoos. They look pretty crappy and very blurry.
WITH THAT SAID..... Permanent makup is nothing more than a tatoo. If Michael Jackson looks that crappy in magazines (and he has millions of dollars at is disposal) what makes you think it will look better on you?

Every tried a little Rogaine?
Maybe you could get something like "plugs" that guys with a balding spot get?
Consult a plastic surgeon, he might be able to give you some natural and more realistic choices.

Good Luck and sorry about the brows!

My mom had it done and it looks great. She said the trick was to make sure you go to a person who specializes in burn patients. They draw all kinds of stuff back - from eyebrows to aereolas. She did not not have any burns, but they did a more natural job, so she can add more if she wants too - it would be pretty hard to take it away! Also, it'll only last about 7 years, so you'll need touch-ups. Good luck!

Answer 5

Make sure you see their previous work. I went to the lady who did the female astronauts's make up. I actually learned her trick with eyebrows: they cannot fill them in like a Barbie doll's eyebrows. Since it is supposed to look natural, it should take a few visits and she should do more of an airbrushing than a fill. And use a light color. You must have seen how terrible some work is.

Answer 6

Like another reviewer suggested, I'd look into the hair implants in the eyebrows before I'd ever get them tattooed on. Eyebrows that have been tattooed on look just that; tattooed on. The hair implants would look more natural. Then you could use a brow powder instead of a pencil or the like if you still aren't 100% happy with them.

Answer 7

It can turn out Gorgeous, and It can turn out horrible.
But if you are tired of drawing them back I would definetly reccomend going for it.
Be sure that the person who does the tatooing is a professional and has examples of their other clients.
I hope it works out great, good luck!

Answer 8

have you looked into hair regernation or implantation? You know, like they do for balding men? I wouldn't recommend getting it tattooed on. the risks are too high and it will still look like it's drawn on, plus when you age yoru face will change and then you might not want the tattooed eyebows you have. sorry about the oven, that sucks!

Answer 9

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! Not good! My husbands aunt got her eyebrows done and her eyeliner, and lips. It looks HORRIBLE!!! Why don't you just do it yourself? If you do it enough, it will just become a natrual habit...something you're so used to, it doesn't bother you anymore.

Liz Taylor and Michael Jackson, should be reason enough to back off! Don't do it! you'll regret it, I swear!

Answer 10

sorry to hear bout your episode.....for one do the drs say you will get your brows back? if not then i would consider perm makeup....and as far as the full ness......i wouldnt go too full... get the thin ones that way if bushy eyebrows do ever come in then you could pencil them in....
