Summertime – think “make up kit” for travel, to try a new look, or start a healthy habit using a daily SPF?

I find that the simplest approach is to narrow down the products needed to get you what you want.  Kits are great way to start a new habit or routine to get those results. Often times just the thought of change is enough to stop us from taking steps that give us the results we want. It’s work, one more things to think about, etc. You know the self-talk I’m speaking of?

When asked about my makeup, clients will say, ”it’s smooth, even tone, it looks healthy and natural”. They’ll ask, “What do you use?”

If you have thinning or sparse eyebrows or want a break from the daily job of penciling, powdering or drawing on your brows, you can may decide on permanent eyebrows. It is a solution that can give you permanent relief from having to draw your brows each time you step out of your house or every morning. The good thing is that it is not a time consuming process but takes only about an hour, after which you can get eyebrows in the color and shape of your choice.

A hair-like stroke is used for doing permanent eyebrows which look absolutely natural. At times, the brow shape is filled in with a solid color by certain technicians. However, that is not desirable as it makes the brows appear harsh and dark. Actually, everything depends on the experience, ability and skill of the permanent cosmetic artist doing the job. If you are planning to go for it, make sure to check out qualifications, experiences and references of any permanent makeup artist thoroughly. It is also important to take a look at before/after pictures of the artist’s previous work. This is much less troublesome than correcting a procedure after it is done and you are not happy with the outcome.

As mentioned earlier, this procedure takes about one to one and a half hours to complete. This means it won’t be too difficult for you to squeeze some time out from your busy schedule to get it done. Majority of the time is devoted to drawing a pattern and evening the brows by making them symmetrical. It is crucial to shape them exactly the way you want before making any permanent mark. Once this stage is over, the real procedure does not take more than 30 minutes. A local anesthetic is offered by most artists for numbing the brows.

There are certain things you should remember with regard to permanent eyebrows. Firstly, after the procedure is done, the brow area may get slightly pinkish and stay so for about an hour. And, if such a thing happens with you, do not panic. Secondly, the color of the brow is likely to be a little dark for about three to five days after the procedure. However, they won’t be so dark that you cannot go out in public.

After about five days, you can see the surface pigment flaking off, enabling you to see what pigment remains under the skin. Even after the brows are healed, there may be some lighter areas. However, that isn’t a big problem as a follow-up visit can solve it with ease.

Then, if you do not want to go through the rigorous process of dressing your eyebrows everyday and perennially live with the fear of them sweating off this summer, opt for this permanent solution. Your appearance can be dramatically transformed by permanent eyebrows, making you look younger and enhancing your natural beauty. What is more, they have the ability to withstand the consequences of chemotherapy treatments.

Permanent makeup is, such a wonderful way of ensuring a fresh natural look that stays on forever. It is a great option for busy women, whose work keeps them on their toes throughout the day. It is also useful for women who have sensitive skin that easily reacts to the chemicals used in cosmetics. So what are you waiting for? Go for it now and bid your parlor a final goodbye.
