Wearing makeup used to be a problem for lots of reason. First, I swim for an hour before going to work. I have to pencil-in my eyebrows and add color because they’re light blonde and then add a clear eyebrow gel to help the makeup last (which it seldom did). The I’d outline my lips and fill them with lipstick.
The problem was that by the time my first meeting started, invariably my eyebrows and lips needed to be retouched. Also, I often scheduled business luncheons with clients, but again, I found myself redoing my lip liner and lipstick just before eating (which is silly). Then after lunch, it started all over again. I spent so much time putting on lipstick and retouching my brows. What changed?
Micropigmentation changed everything. It’s a cosmetic tattooing procedure that makes eyebrows, eyeliner and lip liner / lipstick, permanent. With permanent makeup eyebrow tattoos under my natural hair, I was able to eliminate using brow pencils, forgo powdered makeup, and toss away useless sticky clear eyebrow gel tubes because everything was always in place. Tattoos don’t wash off, so I could swim and be ready for a meeting at the office in just a few minutes.
My micropigmentation technician recommended that I get a lip liner tattoo and a filler blush. She used a slightly darker color to create the lip liner tattoo all around the edge, which also eliminated some fine lines. Then she filled the lips with a pigment. Now, all I need is lip gloss to look as if I just stepped out of a salon!
I’ll never go back to drawing-on eyebrows or using goopy clear eyebrow gel to keep them in place. No more! I love my eyebrow permanent makeup! And why would I ever want to go back to lipstick? My lip liner tattoo and blush filler looks natural, never wipes off on a napkin and is perfect before and after dinner!
