Permanent Makeup?

Question

Can someone please post info on permanent makeup (for the lips)? How old do you have to be to get it? What are risks and stuff? How will affect regular makeup? Thanks.

Please don't post sarcastic comments.

Also can getting permanent lipstick make your lips fuller looking?

Also can you get the inside of your lip tattooed so there's no makeup line?

Also I'm interested in "Lash enhancement" And I heard eyeliner can be used to reshape the eyes. Is there a way to get a skin toned tattoo that can make your eye appear more slanted?

Answer 1

i wouldn't get permanent makeup done unless i was like in my 50s or older and very set in my makeup habits, when you are young you like to experiment and try new things

Answer 2

I got permanent lip liner done when I was about 20. I'm 24 now, and there are still traces of the liner on my lip. I chose a color that wouldn't stand out to much, mainly to define my lips. I've never had any problems, no hole marks or anything. My mom got eyeliner at the same time, and she never had any problems as well. The only problem I can think of is that after 4 years, the eyeliner has faded. This could have been prevented if she had gone in for their free touch ups. I'm convinced enough to go back later this year for eyeliner. Hope this helps.

I have been tattooing permanent makeup on people since 1991. I am extremely well known for my work and have an international client base. This is not a brag, it is to establish myself as an expert that can advise you.

The thing to consider for young people is that cosmetic tattooing requires a certain amount of maintenance - something that can be difficult and expensive for the younger crowd. Also the face goes through a lot of changes over the years and one needs to allow for that.

You really are asking far too much for this forum - it is best to go on some websites devoted to this and do a lot of research - remember, we are talking about the face and lips are advanced work.

The biggest risk is not liking the outcome. Of course, if you ever get cold sores you can easily get them from lip tattooing.
Allergic reactions can occur but are rare. There is little issue with using conventional makeup - generally the lip shade will not appear the same though over lip tattooing but no one seems to mind.

Probably email me and we can discuss more specifics. In the meantime, look for a professional here in your area to view websites - www.spcp.org

Oh, honey, please don't do this!

I have several clients who have done it, and even the few who had it done by someone who was actually good look ridiculous! It's a harsh look, and so completely unnatural...

Yes, you can get it filled-in on the whole lip. That's the only way I would get it, but I wouldn't get it if ya know what I mean. :)

Risks are like that of any tattoo, I'd assume, but probably higher when it comes to permanent eyeliner (a tattoo needle by the eye- YIKES!). It probably won't impact your regular makeup too much (it hasn't on my clients) except when it's healing and when you're trying to wear a color lighter than what's inked on you.

And I have no idea the age restriction.

If you MUST do this, please get it from a reputable salon, not some chick who has a business card at the nail salon or tattoo parlor! I'd say if it doesn't severely hurt your wallet you're going to a hack.

Answer 5

Don't know how old you need to be but think if you have the money you can get it done. Main thing chose a professional and if possible check out pass clients to see if they are satisfied with results. I tried permanent eyeliner and after several painful procedures only a tiny trace remained. (the clinician was inexperienced). Beware- a friend says her try for permanent lip makeup left tiny holes and blemishes.-
Good Luck

check out a picture of Tammy Faye Baker, that will answer all your questions.
this is not sarcasm, it's truth...if you do not die you will get old, and you will be stuck with the look of 30 40 years past.
