Permanent makeup is a cosmetic technique that uses tattoos (permanent pigmentation from the dermis) as a means of producing designs that resemble makeup, such as eyelining and other permanent colors for facial skin, lips, and eyelids. It is also used to produce artificial eyebrows, especially in people who have lost them as a result of old age, diseases, such as alopecia totalis, chemotherapy, or genetic disorders, and disguise scars and white spots on the skin as in vitiligo. It is also used to restore or improve breast areola, such as after breast surgery.
Most commonly called permanent cosmetics , other names include dermapigmentation , micropigmentation , and cosmetic tattoo , the latter most appropriate because Permanent makeup is, in fact, a tattoo. In the United States and under similar arrangements in some other countries, dye additives used in permanent makeup pigments are subject to pre-market approval as cosmetics and/or color additives under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. However, due to other competing public health priorities and lack of prior evidence of security issues specifically related to these pigments, the FDA has traditionally not exercised regulatory authority for color additives on pigments used in tattoo inks.

Histori
The first documented permanent makeup treatment was done by the famous British tattoo artist, Sutherland MacDonalnd in 1902 in his living room, # 76 Jermyn Str., London, "pink smooth skin all year" on the cheek. In the 1920s this "London mode" crossed the Atlantic, and "electrically permanent skin tattoing or flushing in the face" became popular in the United States. The tattoo expert George Burchett, a major developer of this technique when it became fashionable in the 1930s, described in his memoir how the beauty salon tattooed many women without their knowledge, offering it "skin care... injecting vegetable dye under the top, skin layers.

Immediate results
Permanent makeup produces an enhanced feature of facial definition given to eyebrows, eyes and lips using color. The result can mimic cosmetics topically applied or can be very inconspicuous, depending on the design, color values ââand amount of pigment used.
Initially, the result of permanent makeup may look darker. This is due to the color remaining in the epidermis layer of the outermost shell at the beginning. The color softens within a few days during the healing process when the top layer of the epidermis peels off and is replaced by new epidermal cells.
Long-term results
The best possible color results can be done over the years or may start to fade over time. The amount of time it takes for this depends per person. While permanent makeup pigments remain in the dermis, their beauty span may be affected by several possible factors, including environmental, procedural and/or individual factors. Exposure to the sun is fading color. The amount and color of pigment deposits at the dermal level can affect the length of time the permanent makeup looks best. Applications that look very natural may require a touch before a more dramatic one for this reason. Individual influences include lifestyles that find individuals in the sun on a regular basis, such as by gardening or swimming. Skin tone is a factor in changing color values ââover time.
Imperfections
There are some cases of undesirable outcomes. The four most common complaints are "too dark," "wrong color," "uneven" and "too big." A skilled and experienced professional makeup artist is able to adjust the color and evenness of the permanent makeup in many cases. The design is too big to present a serious challenge. The technique and/or the removal of expensive pigment pigments may be the only solution.
Deletion
Like a tattoo, permanent makeup can be difficult to remove. Common techniques used for this are laser coating, dermabrasion (physical or chemical exfoliation), and surgical removal. Disguising - adding new pigments that fight the color of tattoos and trying to mimic normal skin color is considered a bad choice by professionals. Removal is more painful and exhausting than the tattoo itself.
The choice to get a tattoo that later regrets is related to the illusion of late-history, where teenagers and adults of all ages know that their tastes and fashion and makeup styles have changed regularly for many years before the present moment, but they believe that tastes they somehow will not continue to grow and mature in the future.
Adverse effects and complications
Like tattoos, permanent makeup may have complications, such as migration, allergies to pigments, scar formation, granulomas and keloids, skin cracks, peeling, blisters and local infections. The use of unsterilized tattoo tools can infect patients with serious illnesses such as HIV and hepatitis. Problems of disappearance may also occur, due to patients' dissatisfaction or regret, and they may be very difficult to remove in places such as eyelids and lips leaving no permanent residual symptoms. Compliance with 'standard precautions' and a code of uniform safety practices should be imposed by someone considering considering a cosmetic tattoo procedure.
It is important that technicians use appropriate personal protective equipment to protect technician and client health especially in the prevention of transmission of blood-borne pathogens.
It is also important that technicians have been well trained in the application of pigments into the skin to avoid migration. Tattoo pigments can "migrate" when a technician "works too hard" in an area, especially around the eye where the pigment can "bleed" to the surrounding tissue. Migration in general can be avoided by not swelling excessive tissue. Understanding the need to minimize swelling and recognize good stop points is essential for successful applications. Eliminating migrating pigments is a difficult and complicated process.
On very rare occasions, people with permanent makeup have reported swelling or burning in the affected area when they undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However a detailed review of cases in medical literature involving cosmetic tattoos shows that pigments are of poor quality, pigments are contaminated with heavy metals, and pigments with diamagnetic properties may be a contributing factor in most of the cases.
Topical anesthesia is often used by technicians before cosmetic makeup and there are potential side effects if topical anesthesia is not used safely. In 2013 the International Cosmetic Industrial AssociationTattoo.org publishes detailed positions and general safeguards for the entire industry.
The cause of color change after cosmetic arrangement is complex and varied. As discussed in the detailed industry article "Why Cosmetics Changed Color Tattoos", there are mainly four major areas that have an influence on the potential of cosmetic tattoos to change color;
1) Factors related to pigment characteristics 2) Factors related to the methods and techniques of the tattooist
3) Intrinsic factors for clients 4) Factors related to the client's environment and drugs
Technicians should have a comprehensive understanding of these influences in order to achieve more predictable results for their clients. Clients should ensure that they register service technicians who have the proper training that should cover the period of supervised pigment applications before allowing the technician to perform any procedure. Because regulations vary from state to state, training and experience can vary greatly.
Example
This client has eyeliner and tattooed top eyeliner permanently. The eyebrow tattoo is an example of a "pollen" technique as opposed to an individual hairline because the client already has an eyebrow hair but just wants an increase and a formation. The upper eyeliner is a thin eyeliner tattoo and an "eyelash enhancement" procedure used to determine the eye without making it look too much.
