What is Permanent Makeup?

As the name implies, permanent makeup provides the appearance of makeup on a permanent basis. This is done through a form of delicate tattooing areas of the face or body with a special pigment that resembles makeup.

Permanent makeup is also known as cosmetic tattooing and permanent cosmetics. This treatment can be applied to nearly every part of the body. Some of the most common areas for permanent makeup treatment include:

  • Eyelids (permanent eyeliner)
  • Lips (permanent lip liner)
  • Cheeks
  • Eyebrows

Not all cosmetic tattooing is designed to replicate the look of makeup. This treatment can also be used to replicate the look of a natural hairline or full eyebrow. In other cases, cosmetic tattooing may be used to reduce the appearance of a scar or a case of vitiligo.

How does Permanent Makeup Work?

Permanent makeup is applied similarly to a traditional tattoo, but using special pigments instead of ink. The start of any cosmetic tattooing plan is an initial consultation to analyze the skin to determine if the procedure is appropriate.

From there, the patient and the medical professional work together to select a pigment color that best matches the skin and desired effect. During the procedure itself:

  • A surgical pen is used to mark the area where the permanent makeup will be applied
  • Topical anesthesia is applied (in most cases)
  • Utilizing a special hollow needle, the pigment is inserted under the top layer of the skin

It is normal to experience some swelling after the procedure, which will subside in time. It typically takes 2 - 3 weeks for the pigment to fade to its permanent shade. Before this time, the pigment may seem abnormally bright or dark.
