How do you go about choosing a permanent makeup artist? Since permanent makeup lasts about 5 years, one certainly doesn't want to choose the wrong person to put it on. Price shopping is not the way to go, so just how would you quality shop? There is a national permanent makeup artist list, but what would you look for when deciding who to go to?

First, permanent makeup does not only last 5 years - it is a tattoo and lasts forever when properly maintained. It is crucial you find someone with the proper level of skill, aesthetic value, and knowledge of infection control.
I would start at this website: www.spcp.org
You can click to your own state for a list of professional members there. Then I would make an appointment to view their portfolio and check out their studio. You don't want to go somewhere where there is nail file dust all over..blow driers going, etc.
Tattooing should be in its own separate environment.
Make sure that what they show in their portfolio is similar to what you are looking for. You must feel comfortable and confident with this person - if not, keep moving. It is not like body art that can be hidden under clothing - we are talking about your face! It is a highly rewarding procedure or badly damaging one. Be sure your artist respects that about the industry!

The most important thing is to see some of their work. I would imagine that they would have pictures of the work they have done. I work with a woman who had upper and lower eyeliner done, but it was not done properly. She has small eyes (she is Asian) and the tattoo artist made the eyeliner so think and dark!Unfortunately, it is permanent. and she is so unhappy. As you already recognize, price is not the determining factor.
**I went to the link you provided. Some of the work done looked very unnatural; some was downright awful! Looking at pictures on the internet won't be helpful.

A full face would be perfect I work for MAC and for my interview thats what I wore because that is what you would wear everyday different shades of course but you have to have a full face of makeup foundation blush at least 3 shades of eyeshadow on your eyes to show that you can blend eyeliner mascara brows filled in lip liner lipstick and a gloss over the lipstick
