You Can Get A Great Skill Set By Enrolling In A Permanent Cosmetics Course

By Roxy Albright


Taking a permanent cosmetics course can help to give you a broader perspective when it comes to the world of permanent cosmetics. Often referred to as cosmetic tattooing, this form of cosmetics is a specialized technique that involves deposits of colored pigment being placed into the upper reticular layer of the dermis. For those of us with a little less medical terminology training, that simply means the uppermost layer of skin! These types of cosmetics range from permanent eyeliner and eyebrows to lip procedures and everything in between.

Advances in technology have dramatically increased the popularity of and demand for permanent makeup in recent years. Recent advances have also helped these procedures to look more natural once completely healed. And the newest techniques and technology now make these procedures more affordable and readily available then ever before. Taking a permanent cosmetics course will most certainly answer many of the questions you may have about permanent makeup. These questions might include whether or not permanent cosmetics are truly "permanent", if it is safe to receive these types of treatments, and what can be done if the achieved results are not what the client envisioned?

Permanent makeup is commonly thought to last until the end of time. This is a common misconception. Permanent makeup is considered to be "permanent" because it cannot be washed off, not because it will last indefinitely. Fading can and does occur, as with any tattoo. The longevity of the treatment is affected by the client's lifestyle, exposure to the sun, color preferences, and topical products used commonly over treatment areas. Periodic color re-enhancement or color refreshing is the basic maintenance required at some point in order to keep makeup looking optimal in all cases. But before you allow disappointment to creep in at this revelation, consider that perhaps this is not such a bad thing. Each refreshing or re-enhancement is an opportunity to re-evaluate color choices and styles and pursue any changes a client would like to make.

Another thing that needs to be addressed in any permanent cosmetics course is whether or not permanent makeup, such as permanent eyeliner, is even safe. If proper sterilization and disinfection guidelines are followed, the practice is considered to be completely safe. To assure the highest standards of safety are met, all needles should be new and sterile and sterile, one-time use machine parts should also be used. New, disposable gloves and aprons should be worn and chair/bed coverings should be disposable and new for each client. A few simple precautions can assure that this practice is entirely safe.

What happens if cosmetics results achieved are not acceptable to the client? Can anything be done? First, it may be as simple as the client adjusting to the changes in their appearance. Encourage a client to be patient and allow for adjustment and also for colors to fade to a more natural tone. If the final result is unacceptable because a technician did not understand the desired design and color, there is still some flexibility in changing color and shape following treatment, if your technician is skilled enough. In most cases, however, the technician and client understand each other well and the desired outcome is achieved.

You can gain invaluable information about permanent makeup, including permanent eyeliner, through a permanent cosmetics course.
