Q: Are permanent cosmetics really permanent?

A: This is a question I get asked all the time! Here is my simplest answer:

The word permanent means "cannot be washed off". Permanent makeup is tattooing.

The basic principles of traditional tattooing and cosmetic tattooing have many similarities and are related. However, the face is different from other parts of the body. Different colors are used. Meaning pigment, not ink in most cases and we use a lot of tertiary colors. Not straight primary colors that can last a lot longer under the skin.

  • Eyebrows - Highest point of face and exposed to a lot sun and skin care products.
  • Eyes - Thinnest skin on the face.
  • Lips - Lip liner holds better because tattooed on skin. The tissue of the lip is a muscle with tremendous blood flow, will heal softer.
Does color fade on the face? Yes! The reality is all color can fade and almost all permanent procedures like cosmetic tattooing, plastic surgery, dental procedures, house paint, car paint, clothing, art, photography, hair color etc, fade over time. The biggest reason for fading with permanent cosmetics is the sun and or skin care products that keep us youthful. For example, peels, laser, dermabrasion, Photo facials, glycolic, Retina A, Renova etc.
