Interestingly, we live in a world today where we need to dash from one appointment to another, making sure we look our best throughout the day. This is interesting because, the two contradict each other; it is quite a challenge to look pulled-together and fresh when you have to deal with sweat and humidity not to mention flyaway hair. Of course carrying a makeup pouch everywhere you go is an option, but what happens when you spill foundation on your crisp white shirt or have to carry a clutch and not the bag that contains your whole life within its space? Enter the technological marvel that is semi permanent makeup. A concept shrouded in mystery and doubt yet firmly embedded in the beauty industry for its benefits and revolutionary new approach to makeup.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The first step to understanding something fully is to learn about it from scratch. You can of course just hear about it from someone else, but you may not have the same exposure. Which is why, you should first ask ‘What is semi permanent makeup?’
Your skin is made up of many different layers and is the largest organ in the human body. The top layer of skin is commonly known as the ‘dermis’ or dermal layer. This is the layer that need to be penetrated when tattooing so that ink may be deposited under the skin. It is the same when it comes to getting this more permanent form of makeup. It is also important to note that ‘permanent’ is not to say it will last forever as fading, discolouration and spreading of ink can occur; it means that the results will be around for some time. It is also important to note that the pigments and needles used are quite different to traditional tattoos so do not worry!
IS IT FOR YOU?
A question you need to ask yourself more than once before you finally decide that yes this is indeed for you. You see, semi permanent makeup comes in handy in two instances; one is to be able to wake up and go about your day without really having to worry about how you look, and two if you or someone you know is suffering from an illness that involves hair loss like alopecia for example. Some also choose to opt for it so they can cover up scars or other marks on their skin. It all really depends on what your need is.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Once you have an idea of these two important points related to semi permanent makeup, it is time for you to look at what you should do if you do choose to go ahead with it. First and foremost, research. Find out which clinics are around your location and which are offering reliable services, not just any service. Once you have a list, take a day of the weekend and personally visit each place. This gives you the opportunity to gauge them for yourself as opposed to information that is fed to you from a website. Staff compatibility, expertise and hygiene are just some of the key factors that matter. Once you find a place that suits you, book in a consultation and go from there.
Make sure the clinics you browse through are not only clean and well-staffed, but also registered, licensed, and have been in business for some time or at least run by owners who have a considerable amount of experience behind them. The last thing you want is to leave your face in the hands of people who have no idea what they are doing. The more effort you put in, the better the outcome.
