CHOOSING YOUR PERMANENT MAKE-UP ARTIST
is as important as choosing the right doctor, dentist, dermatologist, or plastic surgeon. We’re talking about your face, and permanent make-up is permanent. The technician you choose to perform your permanent make-up should have extensive training from a credible facility, plenty of hands on experience, and training in the field of cosmetic make-up artistry.
The best way to find the right permanent makeup artist is to schedule a consultation over the phone or preferably in person. Ask plenty of questions about how the procedure is done. Make sure they use a topical numbing agent. Some technicians don't use one, and you should know they are available for every procedure. Ask if they use iron-oxide free (lead free) pigments. This is the only type of pigment I use. Be sure the location of your procedure is sanitary. Ask to see the equipment that will be used. Disposable equipment is the easiest way to avoid contamination, but some technicians may use an autoclave for sterilization. Make sure that at least one of these two methods is being enforced. Take a look at their portfolio of before & after pictures, and confirm that they actually did the work in the photographs. Check to see if your technician has had any permanent makeup done of her own. If so, she can then speak from experience when answering your questions, and have a true understanding of the entire process.
Remember, this is a lifetime investment in yourself. Shopping for competitive pricing is great, but don’t take chances looking for the best bargain; remember sometimes you get what you pay for. Permanent Make-up is an art, and when applied correctly, can beautifully enhance your looks. When performed incorrectly, however, it can be disastrous. You may already be the unfortunate victim of inferior work. Fortunately, there are a few options available to you. Look for a qualified permanent make-up artist who specializes in correction work. If you’re problem is extreme, you can research laser treatments that remove pigment. Unfortunately, such lasers are still being perfected and don’t come cheap. Do yourself a favor and get it done correctly the first time, from the best technician you can find.
