BENEFITS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP
Permanent makeup offers several benefits, making it an appealing option for many:
Time-Saving: Reduces the need for daily makeup application, saving time in your daily routine.
Long-Lasting: Provides semi-permanent results that can last from 1 to 3 years, depending on the procedure and aftercare.
Highlights Natural Features: Subtly enhances eyebrows, lips, and eyes, creating a more defined and youthful appearance.
Convenient for Active Lifestyles: Stays intact through workouts, swimming, and other activities, even in hot weather.
Boosts Confidence: Helps clients feel more confident with a consistent, polished look every day.
Consistent Appearance: Ensures a flawless look at all times, without worry about smudging or fading.
Ideal for Those with Allergies: Reduces the need for conventional makeup, which can cause allergic reactions.
WHAT IS MICROBLADING?
Put simply, microblading is a cosmetic procedure that embeds eyebrow-colored pigment just under the skin with a fine tool. This process provides an alternative to eyebrow pencils, brow gel, and other products that must be continuously reapplied. The pigment remains for a period between 18 months and 3 years before fading, making this a form of semi-permanent makeup. Microblading is popular because it offers a natural look and reduces the need for daily brow makeup. Microblading is especially beneficial for those with sparse or uneven eyebrows, offering a customized shape that complements your facial features.
HOW DO EYEBROWS CHANGE WITH AGE?
There are many influences on a woman’s appearance that manifest themselves over time. Eyebrows are often overlooked but can have a definite impact. As women get older, changes in hormone production can mean that hair growth cycles abate, meaning that new hair grows much slower and causes thinning eyebrows.
As we age, eyebrows can undergo several changes:
Thinning: Hair growth may slow down, leading to thinner brows as hair density decreases.
Graying: Just like scalp hair, eyebrow hair can turn gray or white as melanin production decreases.
Texture Changes: Eyebrow hairs may become coarser, more unruly, and harder to manage.
Shape and Fullness: The natural arch and fullness of brows may diminish, sometimes causing a drooping appearance.
Hair Loss: In some cases, hair loss can occur, leading to sparse or patchy eyebrows.
Lack of Symmetry: Eyebrows may droop or become uneven due to weakened facial muscles and skin elasticity loss.
As eyebrows thin, gray, and lose their symmetry with age, it's understandable that you may need to spend more time filling them in to restore a fuller, balanced look—adding an extra layer of care to your daily routine.
Instead of facing the daily challenge of drawing and re-drawing brows to achieve the perfect look, many women over 60 are now excitedly embracing semi-permanent makeup as a liberating option. This approach not only saves time but also ensures they can enjoy beautifully defined, symmetrical brows every day without the hassle, allowing them to focus on what truly brings them joy and confidence.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT TO MICROBLADING?
Microblading is popular among women of all ages, including those in their later years who want to enhance their eyebrows. Because microblading eyebrows involves abrasions of the skin, and due to the decrease in skin elasticity that people experience as they age, it is natural to wonder whether permanent cosmetics such as microblading are appropriate for use on older skin. The truth of the matter is that so long as factors such as the skin’s tone and thickness are taken into account, there is no reason why older clients can’t benefit from microbladed brows.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MICROBLADING
Microblading is often compared to a cosmetic tattooing procedure. In many ways this is an apt comparison. Both cosmetic tattoos and microblading involve subdermal insertion of pigment. However, there are notable differences.
Tattoo ink is designed to be permanent, and will change color over time from dark brown/black to a more blueish tone.
In comparison, the type of pigment used in microblading is designed to fade in time but hold its color.
Tattooing is performed with a particular machine, and eyebrow tattoos tend to have a more filled-in appearance as a result.
Microblading is performed with a hand tool creating individual hair strokes and tends to produce a more natural brow appearance.
Microblading will require an initial treatment followed by one or two follow-ups, to ensure the color implants properly and remains for between twelve months to two years. The procedure should not be particularly uncomfortable as microblade artists will apply numbing cream to the area during their work for the client’s comfort. The procedure is known to not affect oily skin as effectively, though one consequence of the aging process is that skin tends to dry out. It also means that thick, dramatic brows are generally less effective. Common microblading practice for older women is to create thinner, more delicate brow shapes.
Microblading and similar procedures are proven to boost the confidence of older women who undergo them. Microblading is even popular with celebrities such as Helen Mirren.
PERMANENT EYELINER FOR TIMELESS EYES
Permanent eyeliner is another cosmetic tattooing procedure that highlights the eyes by applying pigment along the lash line. This treatment creates a defined, smudge-proof look that lasts for years, eliminating the daily hassle of applying eyeliner. It's especially beneficial for those with allergies, unsteady hands, or vision issues, allowing them to achieve a polished, symmetrical look effortlessly.
Permanent eyeliner and microblading are a perfect combination for older women seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal daily effort. Together, these procedures provide a polished, cohesive look that frames the face beautifully.
HOW DO LIPS CHANGE WITH AGE?
Did you know that by age 50, your body produces 25% less collagen, which is a key factor in keeping your lips plump and full? And around 70% of women notice a significant change in lip volume and color by their 60s.
As we age, our lips naturally undergo changes that can affect their appearance and texture:
Thinning: Collagen production decreases, leading to thinner lips and less volume.
Loss of Color: Lips may lose their natural rosy hue, becoming paler or duller.
Lip Lines: Fine lines, often called “smoker’s lines,” can develop around the lips due to repetitive movements and decreased skin elasticity.
Drooping Corners: The corners of the mouth may begin to droop, giving a downturned appearance.
Dryness: Lips can become drier as moisture retention diminishes with age.
Luckily, there are ways to keep your lips looking luscious and full of life.
PERMANENT LIP LINER FOR AGING LIPS
Permanent lip liner is an excellent solution for enhancing aging lips by restoring the appearance of a well-defined lip contour. This permanent cosmetic procedure involves the application of pigment along the natural lip line, creating a more youthful and fuller appearance. It helps combat the effects of thinning lips, fading color, and those pesky fine lines that tend to develop around the mouth over time.
Particularly for women over 60, permanent lip liner, also known as lip blushing, offers a number of benefits:
Restores Definition: Permanent lip liner enhances the natural lip contour, providing a more defined and youthful appearance.
Reduces Smudging: It eliminates the need for daily lip liner application, reducing the risk of smudging and fading throughout the day.
Fades Gradually: The pigment gradually fades over time, typically lasting 1 to 3 years, allowing for adjustments as your lips continue to age.
Customizable Color: The color and intensity of the liner can be customized to match your desired look, whether natural or bold.
Minimizes Fine Lines: Permanent lip liner can help minimize the appearance of fine lines around the lips by creating a more defined border.
With permanent lip liner, you can wake up every day with beautifully defined lips, reducing the need for daily makeup application and giving you a more polished look. Whether you're looking to subtly highlight your natural lip shape or create a more pronounced contour, permanent lip liner offers a long-lasting solution that can help you feel confident and vibrant at any age.
