The cosmetic implantation technique deposits tiny individual implants of pigment into the dermal layer of skin to enhance facial features. The 3 most common procedures are eyebrows, eyeliner and full lip color.How Is It Done?

You probably know of someone who has permanent makeup and they love it. Or you may have seen or heard stories of bad work. It seems that the media is more likely to expound on the horror stories rather than the beautiful work that can be permanent makeup. What Could Help Me Know If Permanent Makeup Is For Me?

This means learn as much as possible about permanent makeup prior to making a a firm decision about it. What Things Should I Look For In A Technician? Once you have decided that you want permanent makeup, find out more about the technician. See if they have a website; visit that website. See if the information provided makes sense to you. Did you learn anything from it?Contact the technician, but instead of first asking "how much it costs?", do this: 1) Learn as much about permanent makeup yourself before you talk to a prospective technician. Remember, this is your body/face ? you need to do your research and not rely only on the information they provide you. 2) How many procedures have they done? 3) What educational training have they had? 4) Do they have a portfolio of "before" and "after" photos you can review? Do you like what you see? 5) Does the technician seem interested in you? 6) Are they willing to provide answers to your questions? 7) Meet with her for a consultation. 8) Do you get a good feeling about this technician? 9) Ask how she keeps the procedure safe. 10) Then ask for costs. However, be advised this is not the industry to be looking for bargain basement prices?...you will get what you pay for?...trust me. I've repaired work that was inexpensive to the client who was only price shopping. We're On The Web NANCY LATOUCHE Nancy LaTouche is a Board Certified Permanent Makeup Technician/Artist/Consultant.
