How long does permanent makeup last?

All women dream of beautiful, even eyebrows, expressive eyes, bright lips. If natural colors do not satisfy, there is an opportunity to correct the situation with the help of permanent makeup. It is very important not only to choose a professional master. Before the procedure, you should find out how long the makeup will remain as effective. This is influenced by many factors, in addition, it is important to follow a number of rules that will help prolong the life of beautiful permanent makeup.

The good thing about permanent makeup is that it frees up the time it takes every woman to put herself in order. Eyes, lips and eyebrows look expressive at any time of the day or night. It is not surprising that if the result is pleasing, you want to keep it for as long as possible.

There are a number of factors that determine the duration of the initial effect of permanent makeup.

• Age. Here, older ladies have an advantage, since in maturity, the skin renews itself more slowly. Accordingly, the pigment will not change for a long time, and when it starts to fade, it will not go quickly either.
• Paint color. The softer and lighter the tone, the faster it will disappear from under the skin, dark and intense shades last much longer. Gray, red pigments are most susceptible to fading.
• Leather. Skin type also affects the durability of the permanent, if you have dry skin, chances are that long-lasting makeup will last longer. But the owners of oily skin will notice faster that the shade has begun to fade.
• The technique used. Modern permanent makeup is very diverse in terms of techniques. For example, permanent staining by the type of tattooing holds the most.Micropigmentation in powder technique is inferior in durability, and the hair method is the shortest in duration.
• External influence. It also plays an important role, there are factors that negatively affect the state of the tattoo. First of all, it is, of course, the sun's rays and humidity. For lovers of tanning and solarium, swimming pools and saunas, the pigment will begin to disappear faster. Facial care also plays a role - frequent peelings, toning, the use of cosmetics, scrubs shorten the life of the permanent.
• Dye type. The durability of a permanent depends not only on the technique and professionalism of the master, but also on the type of dye. Organic pigments are not as persistent as mineral pigments, for example. Moreover, the latter are often of poor quality, and over time, the color may turn out to be unexpected at all. If your eyebrows have acquired a reddish or greenish tone after some period, the master used a low-quality mineral dye.
• Puncture depth. How deeply the dye is injected directly affects its brightness and durability in wear. A shallow depth (up to 0.3 mm) will most likely brighten in six months and even earlier. The deeper the dye is inserted, the longer it will last. But it will not be easy to withdraw it in case of failure.
• Correction. The durability of the result depends on whether the correction is made in a timely manner.

Many clients are concerned about the question of how long permanent makeup lasts on the face. Experts believe that the term can vary from several months to 5 years. Much depends on the individual characteristics, the level of professionalism of the person making the tattoo. The coverage area of ​​the pigment also matters.

The permanent of this zone not only makes the lips brighter, juicier, but also corrects the shape, adds volume. The result depends on what kind of permanent is used. With the contouring technique, the lips are not painted over, only the shape is outlined, with the contouring technique with shading, the contour is gently shaded. There is a 3D technique that combines several tones and visually makes the lips plump. The light kayal method also adds volume to the lips, using a very light tone below the contour. And finally, a permanent lipstick, when the lips are completely filled with pigment.

The last option will last the longest, the contour one depends on the selected tone. Light kayal and shading will come off faster, as will the watercolor permanent method. If a permanent lipstick has a chance to last at least 4-5 years, then shading and watercolors have a maximum of 3 years.

Arrows and lashes are another popular type of permanent make-up. You can only draw a line of eyelashes, you can display an arrow of any width, shade it with the effect of shadows. The lower eyelid lash is in demand a little less. The duration of the tattooing of this area also depends on the technique and color. The mezhilichka and arrows will delight their owners for about three years.

The eyebrows are the most popular area, it is not surprising that there are many techniques for decorating it. In the hair technique, individual strokes are drawn that imitate hair. A shade-type feathering simulates tinted eyebrows. In a mixed way, they create hairs and fill in the voids. Eyebrows can be unchanged for 3 or 5 years if the shading technique is used. Hairy eyebrows will have to be corrected after about 2 years, a light powdery permanent withstands a year or more.
