1. Makeup Forever
Looking to enhance your features without having to rely on mascara, eye and lip pencils ever again? Whether it’s longer lashes, more defined eyes or fuller lips, many women are turning to permanent makeup as an alternative to their daily beauty regimen. Divine.ca gives you the low-down on some popular treatments in this ever-increasing cosmetic trend. Eyelash Enhancement A synthetic lash is adhered to each individual natural lash of your own to create fuller, longer, thicker-looking lashes (think hair extensions but for your eyelashes). The extensions last approximately 60 to 90 days, the typical amount of time it takes for a person’s natural eyelash to fall out. How much? Eyelash extensions range from $150 to $200 for the initial application. “Refill” or “touch-up” applications cost about $75 per hour and are recommended for every three to four weeks to keep lashes looking full. Eyes Permanent makeup, also known as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, for the eyes requires the use of sterilized, disposable needles to deposit small molecules of colour into the basal layer of the skin, thereby “tattooing” eyeliner onto one’s face. Permanent eyeliner helps to provide depth, colour, definition and the illusion of fuller lashes. How much? Expect to pay approximately $300 for either upper or lower eyeliner or about $500 for both. Eyebrows Similar to the eyeliner technique, the eyebrows are softly feathered with fine lines and hair strokes to create a natural-looking contour. This procedure is particularly popular for women who have light or sparse brows and are looking to create a natural-looking appearance of hair in the brow line. How much? The cost of getting brows done is typically between $300 and $400. Lips Lip liner, lip colour or both is “tattooed” onto the lips in the same method as getting permanent makeup for the eyes in order to add definition, the illusion of fullness and colour to the lips. Popular lip colours tend to be neutral and light for an au-naturel look as opposed to deep reds or purples which are artificial in appearance. How much? Lip liner costs about $400 and full lip colour approximately $600. If you’re considering cosmetic tattooing, get referrals of qualified permanent makeup artists from your dermatologist. Ask all the questions that concern you about the procedure and request to see pictures of the artist’s previous work. |

Permanent makeup sounds very interesting, but the cost is more than I would spend. -
i think permanent make up is crazy,because what if you get tired of the black eyeliner? your stuck with it forever i think its better to do your own make up daily and you can change it every day:) -
The problem with permanent makeup is what is popular style now may not be the style in 10 years and you may regret what you etched into your skin and you can't change it without expensive, dangerous surgery. -
I agree with the last comment, the cost is way out of line.
-
certainly not for me
-
would never do that.....scary -
i wouldn't do it either, there's enough products on the market that are long lasting (eyeliner, lipstains, etc) that the option to change how you look is the better way to go
-
I would never do it. It's also nice to change colours. -
this is really cool. I did a little research on the sweater stone and it's actually a pumice stone, for a while the company who makes them were giving out free ones (plus S&H) but that offer is over :(
-
Lol this is a horrible idea.. i really dont understand why you would want this.
talk about plain! && HUGE waste of cash.
might as well just donate it . -
ewwwww, sounds gross -
Boy am i glad my lashes are naturally long and thick.why would you want permanent makeup the joy of makeup is to be able to play with colors and not have to "wear" the same thing over and over again.
-
a friend of mine got her eyebrows & the eyeliner done & it looks great & shes still able to apply different colors of eyeshadow.i'm definitely looking into getting some of these procedures
-
I would definitely go for the eyelashes.
Could you recommend where I might go to get these extentions applied.-

the idea of permanent makeup is a wonderful idea and would save a lot of time ,but I find the prices are just a little out of reach for most .$400.00 for lip liner for two thin lines . For those prices you could get a cute butterfly tatoo or 2 put where ever -
I have a friend who has the eye liner and lip liner and it's great especially when you take the kids swimming or when you are at the lake. If I could find someone that I trusted I would go for it.
