The idea of being permanently pretty without the hassle of trying to put on makeup every, single, morning, sounds enticing.

This is why permanent cosmetics has caught on with the popular culture in the last decade or so.

It saves time, removes the self-consciousness of, “Does my make up look good today?”, and lets the person concentrate on other more important issues.

When a person goes into a procedure and/or consultation, it’s expected that the technician performing should know what’s best for you. Sadly, a lot of the time that isn’t true.

There are the questions you should be asking a technician during the consultation portion of your procedure, well before any needle come in contact with your skin.

What to ask:

• Can your prospective permanent makeup artist simulate what your brows will look like?

• Can she apply conventional makeup to give you the shape and color depth and tone that makes you a better you, not a different you?

• Can she make them balanced, proportioned and symmetrical?

If the technician can design a prettier shaped eyeliner, lip shape or brows that give you the look your desiring with conventional makeup, more than likely, you will have a wonderful result and be happy with the permanent cosmetic.

This is the time to have all your questions answered. Keep in mind that it’s not in your best interest to let your technician tell you what she thinks what's best for you. Opinions are valid, but it’s your body and listen to your brain.

Communication is Key

Always communicate to them what you like and don't like and remember at the end of the day, all that matters is that you love.

Have they answered all those questions and you feel good about letting them tattoo your face?

Good! Because now you're excited and you’re going to love what you see.
