PERMANENT MAKEUP.
What is permanent makeup?
Also called permanent cosmetics and cosmetic tattooing. It is the placements of pigment just beneath the epidermis of the skin. Although, the effects of aging, surgeries, and sun exposure may alter the pigments over time, it is permanent. For this reason, "refresher" appointments may be appropriate every few years to keep your makeup looking its best.
