O/T Permanent make up

thank you so much for this info, i was always so curious!!!

well so far i have had my  for  4 yrs now and havent had a retouch- it depends on how your body takes to it, if your out in the sun alot etc

 

I love my permanent cosmetics too! Some of the best money I've ever
spent!

I'm copy 'n' pasting some of this from a previous post I did, but it applies
here:

The hair on top of my head isn't super blonde, but my eyebrow hairs are.
Seriously, I've got tons of eyebrow hairs, but they're just invisible. So I
was drawing them on through all that hair until I got taupe brow and
black eyeliner tattoos in April. Ran me $850, but she did it in 3 sessions
until I was perfectly satisfied, so I'm a happy customer. (Takes me 3
minutes to put on the rest of my makeup now, woohoo!) Tattooing the
eyebrows didn't hurt cuz of all the lidocaine (sp?), but the eyeliner hurt
like bloody 'ell because that part RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR EYEBALL, between
the lashes, doesn't numb too well. Anyhoo, looking at all my permanent
makeup lady's previous work, all the eyebrows are a little different,
tailored to each person's face... there isn't a stencil to be found in the
place.

I would think your lips would numb pretty well, my permanent cosmetics
lady was not light-handed with the lidocaine when I saw her working on
other ladies or when she worked on me. I think she gave the lip ladies
lidocaine at consultation to take home and apply an hour before their
tattoo session? Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure she did.

This is where I went, she was featured in Elle magazine, and I think the
great advice she gives on her website applies to anyone looking for
permanent cosmetics:   http://iznlps4u.8m.com/index.htm l

Has anyone had any experiences with getting permanent make-up done?  I am thinking about getting the eyeliner and lips done.

Thanks!
