What Is Permanent Makeup Tattooing?
Permanent Makeup is the art of implanting color into your skin, so you can look better naturally. It is done with a tattoo machine by a Micropigmentation Technician. Specific instruments place color into the layer of skin known as the dermis.
The outermost layer on skin (epidermis), is always shedding and renewing itself, you are looking at the color through a thin veil of skin. When a procedure is completed, the color will flake off during the healing process, lightening the overall effect.
Because the color is placed in your skin and not on your skin, a more natural, softer look results. Cosmetic tattoo is a way to save time and make your life easier. Wake up every morning with perfect make up. Go for a swim, to the gym, have a run, play tennis, golf, shower or perspire, and your make up won’t smudge or run off.
Note: Overdoing permanent makeup is never a good idea. The number one advice I give to my clients is to go for the youthful look, rather than the Glamourous look.

Lip Blushing
Lip Blushing
What is lip blush?
What is lip blush?
Lip blushing is semi-permanent, tattooed makeup that tints your lips using a cosmetic tattoo gun that softly defines and fills in your lips to give them a constant wash of color, The result is kind of similar to lip fillers in that your lips will look a little fuller simply by being defined and enhanced with pigment but lip blushing won’t actually change the shape or feeling of your lips.
Instead, it’ll just leave you with a soft, shaded-in color that can enhance your lip symmetry, cover uneven pigmentation or scars, and give you the illusion of bigger, fuller lips.
Important Note***
Important Note***
If you have had a cold sore in the past, I advise that you consult with a doctor to obtain an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure as a preventative. Even if you have not experienced a cold sore in a number of years the virus stays dormant in the body and is reactivated by a stressor to the area.
If during winter months you experience very dry lips it is best to wait for the procedure come springtime .. your lips will be naturally dry from the procedure and more so due to environmental changes.
