What is Permanent Makeup? Does it Hurt? Is it Expensive? | Here’s Everything You Need To Know.

Updated: Sep 11, 2019

So your friend(s) won’t stop talking about this thing called permanent makeup, which only leaves you riddled with questions.


What the heck is it?

Does it hurt?

It sounds scary; is it right for me??

Is it expensive?


Don’t worry, it’s good to have questions and it’s totally ok to feel nervous.


If you’re hoping to get things cleared up so you can decide if permanent makeup is right for you, stick around...!



What the heck is Permanent Makeup?  

Permanent makeup, or permanent cosmetics is the process of applying pigments beneath a thin layer of skin.


Hold up.


I know that sounded awfully like getting a tattoo, and although microblading, micro pigmentation or any form of permanent makeup is similar, getting a tattoo of your loved ones name on your upper arm is NOT the same as getting your eyebrows microbladed.


A normal tattoo goes deep beneath multiple layers of skin, while permanent makeup only scratches the surface.


Also with Tattoos, Ink is injected into the skin which usually lasts permanently, however with Permanent Makeup, a special pigment is applied into the skin which lasts somewhere between 1 - 3 years.


That's why sometimes permanent makeup in the form of microblading and micro pigmentation is called "Semi-Permanent Makeup!"


One thing very similar between tattooing and permanent makeup is that they are both considered to be an art, requiring an artist to achieve excellent results.



The entire point of permanent makeup is to enhance natural beauty, while keeping every treatment unique to each client. You can find out more about how Lavish Shadow accomplishes this by checking out our services.
