The master performs hair tattoo in Eastern or European technique. The first type involves drawing hairs of different lengths along the line of natural growth. In the European technique, hairs are drawn of the same size with an equal interval between units.

The shading effect is somewhat reminiscent of eyebrows drawn with a pencil.The shade is selected as close as possible to the natural color or slightly darker. This procedure is suitable in the case when it is not possible to grow your own hairs.

In combination with permanent lip contour makeup, shading is also applied. It allows you to increase the lips, make their tone a little brighter than the natural shade.

Shading is done with a light shade, and the hairs are drawn as clearly as possible - this gives the 3D effect. The difference between the 3D and 6D effect involves the creation of a whole pattern in the second case, while recreating all the subtleties of hair growth, their shade, thickness.

The favorite procedure of many women allows you to correct the shape of the eye with the help of an arrow - visually enlarge the eye, correct age-related changes. The technique perfectly emphasizes the natural expressiveness of the look.

To change the shape of the eyes, along with the tattoo of the arrow, permanent makeup of the lower eyelid is used.

This technique involves correcting only the contour of the lips with a brighter shade. It is used to correct the asymmetry of the lips, the blurring of the natural contour. Lips instantly become more expressive.

With the help of tattooing, you can noticeably lighten the scar, age spots, freckles. Several colors are used for this technology.

Coloring pigments can draw a mole, make a piquant fly, thereby adding seductiveness to the image.

Unfortunately, the probability of low-quality tattoo has a high percentage. For overlapping, the masters use a laser, special solutions, a new tattoo in place of the old one. Overlapping as a method of correcting unsuccessful work reduces its position due to the introduction of additional pigments, which is highly undesirable.

The procedure for creating permanent makeup is performed with sterile instruments and using high-quality consumables.

Dyes must necessarily meet all quality standards and have certificates of conformity. Features of high-quality pigments for tattooing are as follows:

• They are absolutely harmless to the skin and human health;
• Dyes adapt to the body over time. A stable color on average lasts about 5-6 years;
• The variety of colors, as well as the possibility of mixing shades, allow you to choose the right dye;
• The dye in the cells of the epidermis does not spread, does not fold, but remains unchanged.

At the first consultation with the master, the details of the upcoming procedure will be discussed. Here it is necessary to talk about chronic diseases and medications taken.

With a tendency to allergies, the cosmetologist may offer to make a trial injection of the drug to determine the reaction. Also, the master will prescribe an antiviral drug in order to prevent possible adverse reactions and complications.

For a few days, it is necessary to stop taking medications that promote blood clotting. On the eve of the procedure, give up alcohol, cigarettes, sports and coffee.

It is optimal to plan a tattoo in the middle of the cycle, when pain sensitivity is reduced.

Immediately after the procedure and during the first week after it, do not plan important events, visits to the solarium and holidays in hot countries. This is especially true for permanent makeup blush, where the covering surface is large. During this time, the healing process will take place.

The permanent makeup procedure itself takes place step by step in several stages.

At the first stage, all the subtleties of makeup are discussed with the master, it is advisable to take drawings or photos of the works you like with you.Then the beautician will draw on the skin, previously treated with an antiseptic solution, a sketch of the future tattoo. A professional will correct it until you like the work.

Next, the area of ​​application of the dye is treated with an anesthetic cream or an injection is made.

The final and most important stage - the sketch is filled with dye.

Care is carried out at home independently.

The use of modern devices in the procedure of creating permanent make-up helps to avoid scars - the paint is injected through the smallest punctures in the skin. Anesthesia significantly blocks pain sensations and will come in handy only in particularly sensitive places, but is unacceptable in the case when there are contraindications to anesthesia.

Healing lasts for 7-12 days after the procedure. At this time, a thin crust forms on the surface of the skin, which requires additional care. It falls off on its own, combing, trying to remove it with a scrub is strictly prohibited.

During the healing period, permanent makeup is treated with hydrogen peroxide, the use of creams is prohibited.

You should wash your face with warm water without adding tonics, foam, soap. Some masters advise washing your face with infusion of chamomile or string.

The growing popularity of eyebrow microblading has overshadowed henna and permanent makeup. It differs from tattooing in that the dye is injected into the skin with a special scalpel or blade, which allows you to clearly draw the eyebrow hair to hair. Microblading is performed in several techniques - hair, spraying, powder eyebrow shaping. Makeup is as natural as possible.

Permanent makeup wins in terms of coating durability. As for the financial side of the issue, microblading will cost more, as it is a more modern technique. It is better for owners of light and rare eyebrow hairs to give preference to her.

The durability of a tattoo directly depends on the place of its application. The most wearable is the eyebrow permanent - it will last about 5-6 years. Eyelid tattoo will please you for an average of 4 years. Permanent lip makeup is considered less resistant - its durability varies within 3-4 years.

The area of ​​the lips is more often than others subject to various influences - they come into contact with food, the dyes of which can destroy pigments, the skin in this place is more often updated. All these factors contribute to the fact that the tattoo in this area is less durable.

There can be several reasons why the tattoo does not hold:

• Improper care after the procedure;
• Poor quality materials. In this case, the option in which the pigments simply fade will become the lesser of evils. A dye of dubious quality can acquire an unexpected color - blue, green, pink. Such a tattoo will only have to be removed;
• Rejection of the dye by the body - a rare case, but there is a place to be;
• Late correction. Within a month after the tattoo procedure, it is necessary to carry out a correction. The fact is that the dye immediately after the introduction appears as brightly as possible - in most women by 70%, but most often by 50% of the pigment's own color. If on blondes a muted shade looks natural, then owners of dark skin need to make the shade brighter.

Reviews of women from the effect of permanent makeup vary greatly - from enthusiastic to frankly negative.

All the girls who have tried this procedure are sure of one thing - the result depends on the qualifications of the master and the consumables that he uses. Do not be lazy and go to the first salon you come across, you need to make inquiries, clarify all the nuances of the procedure. Sometimes it will take a year, but your beauty is worth it.

Modern tattooing is very different from the one that was 10 years ago. Eyebrow microblading (many consider it a kind of permanent) looks as natural as possible on light hairs.

Girls who have done permanent makeup are happy to wake up beautiful in the morning, not waste time and money on cosmetics, always have neatly emphasized contours and generally refuse makeup in the summer. imperfections

As for pain, everything is individual. Someone does not experience discomfort from the procedure, many note pain, a few - unbearable pain that anesthesia does not relieve. And this does not mean that the paint is of poor quality or the master is bad - it is impossible to predict the reaction of your body.

Reviews of women who have been doing permanent makeup for several years are a little shocking - even an elite tattoo has a negative effect on the body's own integuments. Eyebrow hairs begin to actively fall out over time.

Moreover, having done permanent makeup once, get ready for the fact that correction every 3-5 years will be necessary. And yes, it can be argued that this is forever.
