One of the topical procedures for eyelashes today is tattooing, which can not only emphasize the natural beauty of the eyes, but also correct some imperfections.
What it is?
Eyelash tattooing is called differently permanent eye makeup... It involves the application of a special composition (pigment) on the eyelids or in the space between the eyelashes. With the help of a special apparatus and pigment, the dye mixture is applied to the lash line.
The point of the procedure is to make the eyes more expressive, while emphasizing the eyelid, along which the cilia grow. That is, with the help of this procedure, the ciliary row becomes clearer and more noticeable.
Tattoo procedure allows many ladies to exclude eyeliners and even mascara from their beauty arsenalsaving precious morning time on makeup. If all the recommendations are followed, eyelash tattooing can be worn from several months to several years, especially if you do not forget about the correction.
The tattoo procedure in many ways resembles tattooing... It is believed that it does not cause pain, but some discomfort is still felt, depending on who has what pain threshold. Nevertheless, today cosmetologists offer anesthesia with the help of special products and creams. During tattooing, a very small needle with a coloring pigment is inserted only into the upper layers of the skin, which minimizes painful sensations.
It is very important that the eyelash tattooing procedure is carried out by a qualified master who knows a lot about his business. Ideally, he should have a medical degree, not just mediocre certifications.

The duration of the effect depends on many factors in the body, and not only on the professionalism of the master.

How is it done?
Modern tattooing can be performed in several techniques and in several ways, which differ from each other in some points of implementation and, of course, in time. The master should choose the best way, based on the condition of the skin, its characteristics and the wishes of the client.
It is not recommended to eat spicy foods 24 hours before the procedure; alcohol and strong coffee should be avoided. Also, do not take medications that can affect blood clotting.
Since tattooing touches the eyelids, it is undesirable to use contact lenses. Before the master starts the procedure, you should carefully remove the makeup, because its residues can affect the final result of the tattoo. It is advisable to come to the salon immediately without makeup.
During tattooing it is recommended to relax as much as possible, since abrupt movements can not only distract the master from applying pigment to the eyelids, but also interfere with the work in general.
Any unbearable discomfort should be reported to the master immediately.
