Makeup has been around since the ancient Egyptians, where in addition to using it for cosmetic reasons, they used it for health and protection. In those days, both men and women used natural things to color their skin.
They used;
- Kohl – which was lead sulfide, amorphous carbon, or organic carbon for an eyeliner, or a green mineral powder called malachite for eye makeup.
- Red ocher – to stain lips and nails.
- Henna – to stain the fingertips and toes.
These days, many women wear makeup; some to enhance their features, or to look and feel more glamorous, others use it to cover up their blemishes. Applying makeup can be difficult if you are nearsighted or if you just want to have more time in your day.
It takes a lot of training, skill, and practice for a beauty technician to produce the best results, as the application of permanent and semi-permanent cosmetics is a highly skilled craft. Everyone has unique facial features, facial structure, and skin tone, which can influence treatment in different ways.
Benefits for eyebrows
- No more spending hours making sure they look symmetrical.
- Don’t worry about your makeup running around when you are in the pool or gym.
- No more worrying about what colors match your skin tone.
- You won’t have to worry about plucking your eyebrows excessively.
There are many reasons why you may need to enhance your brows; excessively plucked, naturally thin or light, or may be sparse due to medical reasons. A new set of brows can be easily created to rectify the thinning of the brows or a few brush strokes of hair can easily be added to fill any gaps. Eyebrows are very important as they frame your face and can add instant lift, shape and contour. Eyebrows treated with semi-permanent makeup tend to look darker immediately after the first treatment, but after a while they become lighter.
Eyeliner benefits
- A subtle highlighting option or a more noticeable eyeliner.
- Create definition to make your eyes pop.
- Enhance the natural shape of your eyes.
- You won’t have to worry about smudged eyeliner.
- Get a symmetrical looking eyeliner.
Eyeliner can open the eyes and a smooth line above or below the eye can make the lashes appear darker and thicker. Eyeliner comes in many colors and can shape and define eyes, and it can have anything from a soft, natural-looking lift, a dramatic smoky effect, or a thicker defined line.
Benefits for lips
- Regain your youthful lip shape
- Enhance and define your lips
- Spend less time reapplying lipstick after drinking and eating.
- Keep your favorite color and tone.
- Make your lips appear thicker and fuller by creating symmetry.
Trying to achieve beautifully shaped full lips with lip liner and lipstick can sometimes be a challenge. They take a long time and are constantly repeated throughout the day. Everyone wants pretty lips with a healthy colored blush. Semi-permanent lip liner means no lipstick smears on teeth or color bleeds into lip lines.
Semi-permanent makeup looks subtle and natural and won’t wash, smudge, or fade. The color can last for many years, but the vibrancy will start to fade over time. Makeup pigment remains in the dermis, but is also influenced by various factors, including skin tones, environmental factors, and sun exposure. The amount and color of pigment applied can affect how long semi-permanent makeup looks best on the skin. Subtle natural applications are more likely to need a touch-up before darker and more dramatic ones.
