The list of permanent or semi-permanent cosmetic procedures seems to be growing in favor on social media, from micrograyling and microblading to sweet lips and lip blushing. Permanent makeup, whether for the brows, lips, or eyes, is in line with the desire for simpler beauty regimens that save time and allow for a natural appearance with no effort.

Many women’s beauty routines were disturbed as a result of the pandemic’s lockdowns and mask wearing. Lipsticks, contouring, and other procedures for achieving a flawless complexion are no longer used. The focus has turned to skincare, which has replaced cosmetics that were designed to hide a variety of flaws rather than improve skin texture. Even though wearing a mask is no longer required in many nations throughout the world, the tendency appears to be continuing beyond the epidemic.

These improvements have aided in the revival of a style that was considered to have died out: permanent makeup. Permanent makeup techniques, which were popular in the 1990s, are now again gaining popularity among individuals seeking a more natural beauty look. That may seem counterintuitive, but it makes sense. It’s no longer about spending hours in the bathroom applying layers of foundation, concealer, and other correctors; instead, it’s about complementing the eyes and mouth with flawlessly formed — and delicately colored — brows and lips.

Dermopigmentation 

Permanent makeup is more akin to the art of tattooing than it is to makeup, with one major exception: it frequently uses dermopigmentation. In other terms, it entails injecting a colored material — a pigment — into the surface layer of the dermis (or skin) using micro-needles, which is significantly less deep than a tattoo and hence less permanent because pigments disintegrate with time. It’s most commonly used to add color to a specific region, such as sparse brows, redrawing the lip contour, adding color to pale lips, or even enhancing the eyes.

Although permanent cosmetics may have frightened many individuals in the 1990s, procedures have improved in recent years to provide a more natural — and discrete — effect. Gone are the days of leaving a beauty salon with frozen-in brows or, worse, a lip outline that contrasts dramatically. Today’s objective is to save time by focusing on pale tones and creating a natural yet enhanced appearance, allowing you to skip a few steps in your daily routine without going crazy. Today’s experts, who now provide all of these services, are fully aware of this notion.

From thicker brows to freckles, there’s something for everyone. 

Permanent makeup procedures are numerous and varied, but many of them involve the use of brows. Microblading (1.8 billion views on TikTok) is probably one of the most popular treatments, as it can successfully contour and thicken brows according to the desired outcome by reproducing a hair-like look using pigments. Microshading, on the other hand, employs pin-like dots to create a powderier finish, similar to that of an eyebrow pencil. Micrograyling, a more contemporary treatment that operates on the same principle, is intended for those who have a more complicated natural brow shape and just wish to lessen the sparse look.

Permanent cosmetics, on the other hand, is an excellent ally for ladies whose lip contour has faded over time. Candy lips is one of the most popular treatments, which uses micropigmentation to redraw the shape of the lips while simultaneously adding color, providing a more voluminous impression. Some people also utilize it to fix any imbalance. If you want to take it a step further, you can now have a permanent eyeliner line, or even an eyeshadow look, done in only a few sessions, or even add a few freckles here and there, in keeping with a current trend.

Permanent makeup, on the other hand, has the drawback of lasting longer than trends. While permanent makeup fades over time — the length of time depends on a variety of factors such as age or sun exposure — one should still consider twice before committing. While thick brows have been popular for some years, there have been various attempts in recent months to bring slim brows back into style.
