Permanent makeup is also known as micro-pigmentation or permanent cosmetics. In short, it is pigment or ink designed to give the look of everyday makeup, even when you aren’t wearing it. This includes makeup such as eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, and even lip color. This ink is placed deep in the skin with a needle. It’s just like a tattoo in that it is permanent.

Unfortunately just like tattoos, makeup goes in and out of style. Those thick penciled in eyebrows or or eyeliner looked good at the time. But fads change. Worse yet, ink fades. This results in permanent makeup looking fake and needing removal. The good news is that permanent makeup can be removed just like tattoos.
