To many ladies, their morning beauty routine has a groundhog-day feel to it. Much time is often wasted on perfecting their makeup. Furthermore, touch-ups are needed throughout the day to keep their look fresh as cosmetics wears off easily. When it comes to any traditional makeup smudging, smearing and wearing off can occur due to many different factors. Water contact and sports, for instance, are two big concerns.

That is why semi-permanent makeup is fast gaining popularity. Semi-permanent makeup won't smear and won't come off, and lasts for a few years. It allows you to get the look you've always wanted without having to reapply it every single day and after certain activities.

Benefits of Semi-Permanent Makeup

• Perfect for those who have difficulty in applying makeup
• Saves time for busy individuals
• Saves the hassle of applying makeup everyday
• Benefits those who are allergic to makeup
• Smudge-proof. No more smearing of makeup for those with oily skin
• Allows one to have professionally-applied makeup on all the time, anytime. Be it during exercise, at the beach or even when you just woke up!

How is semi-permanent makeup different from tattoo?
From its name, the look is only semi-permanent and lasts only a few years as compared to tattoo which is permanent. This is because colour is placed onto the epidermis, which will shed over time. Tattoo embeds pigment into the dermis layer of the skin, which stays very much the same over time.

Will the colour turn dark green or blue over time, like tattoo?
The colours will slowly fade but not turn dark green or blue over time.

Is there any discomfort?
The level of discomfort is dependent on individual’s threshold of pain. Most people liken the sensation to that of an ant bite.

How long does the procedure take?
Typically it takes about an hour and has very little downtime.

Does it look natural?
With the advancements in technology and technique, the results will appear very natural and your features will look more defined, making you look completely refreshed. Your friends will never know the difference unless you choose to tell them.

Is it safe?
It is medically proven to be safe but one must ensure that it is done by a reliable establishment which follows the strictest hygiene standards and a professionally trained and certified professional as it requires tremendous skills to create a natural look.
