It is a new age and a new generation for permanent makeup artists.

There is more creativity and color in the new millennium. More techniques that give a natural and magical look to the beauty of make up that is permanent.

Think of it as a picture in a museum that looks so real, the face of a woman with beautiful eyes and lips with full eyebrows. You can have the same look just like that painting. If a flat canvas can achieve a face, it can be micro pigmented (permanent make-up) in the same way.

Antoinette is an artist and this is her philosophy.

“If you want to make a change,
Change it for good.”

10 Good Reasons For Permanent Makeup

• Convenience - you just need more time
• Allergies - to ordinary makeup, you may have sensitive skin
• Eye Issues - wear glasses or contact lenses or had Lasik surgery
• Arthritis - or painful hands
• Difficulty - applying makeup, or you don't like the way it smears and disappears
• Aging - changes in brows, lips, eyes
• Active - outdoor lifestyles
Natural - if you like a "no makeup" look
Lost Hair - you've lost hair from alopecia, chemotherapy, accidents, burns or cosmetic surgery
Replacement - of skin color where cosmetic tattooing can help

What Exactly is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent cosmetic makeup is the art and science of implanting color into your skin. It is putting the right color in the right place so you can look better naturally. Specialized instruments allow your practitioner to place color into the layer of the skin known as the dermis. Because the outermost layer of skin, the epidermis, is always shedding and renewing itself, you are looking at color through a thin veil of skin. When your procedure is completed, the color will appear darker than the final result. This is because the color is in BOTH the epidermis and dermis. The color in the top layer will flake off during the healing process.

Will I Really Look Like Myself....Only Better?
Permanent cosmetic makeup helps replenish what time has taken away and gives back precious time you normally spend "putting on your face". You can save up to 100 hours in a single year that were formerly spent struggling to draw eyebrows evenly or eyeliner half-way straight. That's two and one-half weeks of free time plus the money you'll save buying new and expensive cosmetics that rub off, smear, smudge and disappear during the day.

Permanent makeup is not intended to replace cosmetics completely. Because the color is placed "in" your skin and not "on" your skin a more natural, softer look results. When you're ready for a special occasion, you can apply as much additional makeup as you wish.
