Classic makeup is the application of decorative cosmetics to the skin to emphasize or correct facial features. Permanent differs from the classic one in that the dyes are injected subcutaneously to a depth of no more than 0.8 mm, which allows you to maintain an ideal appearance immediately after waking up.
The facial procedure is performed on the eyes (eyeliner), lips and eyebrows. The disadvantages of this type of makeup include the peculiarity of skin care and the need for correction.
What factors influence the results of eyebrow tattooing?
Correction of permanent eyebrow makeup is a mandatory procedure, even when the procedure is performed in a qualified salon.
The following factors influence the distortion of the tattoo result:
- specialist qualification . When introducing the composition, you need to correctly calculate the depth of needle insertion and the frequency of punctures. Otherwise, the paint will be distributed unevenly;
- skin type. If you have oily skin, the injected composition will gradually erode, as a result, several corrections may be required. With dry skin, the coloring pigment is distributed evenly, so minimal adjustment is required;
- color of the skin . On dark epidermis, the coloring composition lasts longer due to the increased production of melanin (the coloring pigment responsible for the color of hair, epidermis and eyes);
- reaction to the composition . The skin of each person is individual, but the same reaction develops to the introduction of the composition subcutaneously (getting rid of the foreign body). The sensitivity of the epidermis determines how long the coloring composition will remain in the skin;
- depth of paint injection . The deeper the puncture (there are acceptable limits), the longer the composition will be removed;
- intensity of the coloring matter . The brighter and more saturated the color, the longer it lasts;
- paint quality . Low quality products are eliminated from the body faster and change color;
- hormonal background . It can provoke a change in the shade of the coloring composition, as a result of which the final result will be disrupted;
- age parameter . Until the age of 25-30, skin cell renewal occurs more actively, so tattoo adjustments are required more often than in adulthood;
- health status . The stronger the immune system, the more active the fight against foreign substances will be and the paint will be removed from the skin faster;
- Lifestyle . Frequent water procedures, prolonged exposure to the sun or frequent visits to the solarium contribute to the leaching/burning of the composition from the skin;
- compliance with skin care rules . In the absence of the necessary care, the skin can dry out and crack, forming crusts, which leads to the development of tattoo defects.
The number of correction procedures depends on the combination of these factors.
What is permanent makeup and what are the areas of its application?
The English word “permanent” is translated as long-term, constant, durable. During the permanent makeup (tattoo) procedure, the artist injects a dye under the skin to a depth of less than a millimeter. This allows the applied pattern to remain durable for a long time and not be washed off under the influence of external factors. But do not confuse permanent makeup with a tattoo. The pattern lasts for several years, but not forever.
A well-executed tattoo allows you to look natural, while facial features become more expressive. You will wake up attractive, with your makeup ready, and in the evening you will save time on removing makeup. Using a permanent, you can visually change the shape of your eyes, disguise scars, give a new shape to eyebrows or lips, and correct congenital or post-surgical defects.
Having done permanent makeup:
- You will always be “in shape” - it will be ideal while staying in the heat, in humid rooms, or in ponds. You'll look like you've been to a professional makeup artist!
- Ideal makeup lines will allow you to change the curvature of natural features, reliably hide imperfections, correct the natural shape of the eyes or an unclear contour of the lips.
- The time spent on makeup will be significantly reduced. In the morning you don’t have to spend half an hour coloring your lips, eyes or eyebrows, and in the evening the same amount of time to thoroughly wash off your makeup.
Where is permanent tattooing used:
- Permanent eye (lid) makeup will correct the shape of the eyes, visually lift drooping eyelids, and make the look more expressive.
- Permanent eyebrow makeup will add color, define shape, and add thickness while maintaining a natural look.
- Permanent lip makeup will correct the blurred contour, naturally increase volume, and add rich color.
Permanent makeup is suitable for both young girls and mature women. He will help everyone achieve the desired result. The task of a liner (permanent makeup artist) is to perform the procedure, taking into account the characteristics of the client’s appearance. He should be more than just a makeup artist.
Permanent makeup, being a medical procedure, obliges the artist to have a special education that allows him to provide the service. Since the skin is damaged during tattooing, the liner must know the possible methods of anesthesia and comply with the standards of asepsis and antiseptics.

In what cases is permanent makeup correction necessary?
Correction of permanent eyebrow makeup is always required. Since even an experienced master cannot take into account the individual characteristics of the body.
Most often, the procedure is performed in the following cases:
| Reason for the correction | Characteristic |
| Low qualification of specialist |
|
| Violation of the contour or its blurring | It can develop due to a violation of the distribution of pigment due to the individual characteristics of the body or as a result of non-compliance with the rules during the recovery period. |
| Uneven composition distribution | More often it occurs with oily skin, with uneven tissue restoration or with self-removal of the crust (it should come off on its own). |
| The appearance of an undesirable shade | Depends on individual characteristics (skin type, hormonal levels, diet) and on the quality of the coloring composition used. |
| Fading paint | The pigment can fade with prolonged exposure to the sun, and can also be washed out with frequent visits to the pool. |
These defects are most clearly visible after complete tissue restoration. It is during this period that makeup correction is allowed. If adjustment is required due to the fault of the master, then it is recommended to perform the procedure in another salon.
What can be corrected by correction
Correction aimed at removing gaps in the executed style does not correct all negative manifestations. However, most of the negative aspects of the result are easily corrected by reusing the coloring pigment and tattoo equipment.
To find out whether the defect is corrected, check this parameter with a cosmetologist. This way you can be sure of the quality of the work as a result.
Color
A common consequence of eyebrow tattooing is changes in the tones and shades of the work. This is caused by the low quality of pigments and consumables used in cosmetology, or improperly provided care during the rehabilitation of the skin.
If a girl has a slight mismatch of tones in the plan: the end result is a lighter color than expected, she can correct the side effect. However, otherwise, if the gamma turns out to be darker, it will most likely not be possible to correctly correct the result. If you notice such a defect immediately after eyebrow tattooing, wait a little, because after the skin heals, the tone usually becomes duller.
Coverage uniformity
If the dye is distributed incorrectly or the crust is removed from the eyebrows prematurely during its healing, the shade may become uneven.
Correcting the work is usually not difficult, because all you need to do is cover the eyebrows with an additional layer of dye. However, when strong color differences occur, there is a risk that the problem will not be corrected. In this case, you will have to remove the eyebrow tattoo if it looks sloppy.
Sometimes it happens that the result can be corrected after the pigment has partially faded. In this case, you can use decorative means to temporarily disguise the result.
Changing shape
Since tattooing is carried out on the eyebrows, the most important part is contouring and stylistic architecture. If you choose a neat form and do not work properly with a specialist, the form may deteriorate. This is reflected in changes in the arch of the eyebrow or other indicators of contour clarity.
Usually it is possible to change the shape for the better, but the final version does not always suit the client. If the contour becomes blurred, you will have to make a thicker drawing during correction, which is not suitable for all women.
How long does it take for the first correction to be made?
Correction of permanent eyebrow makeup is necessary, since during the main procedure, as a result of puncturing the skin with a needle, microtraumas occur, which are accompanied by swelling. On average, tissue restoration takes about 4 weeks.
During this period, the wounds heal (and slightly tighten the skin), tissue swelling subsides, as a result, the shape of the eyebrow and the shade of the coloring pigment may change.
It is important that due to the individual characteristics of the body, the healing process can take from 2 to 4 weeks. Correction is allowed only after complete tissue restoration. On average, the procedure is carried out a month after tattooing, but no later than 3 months. During this time, the pigment may completely lighten, resulting in the need for eyebrow tattooing again.
Salons usually provide a discount on adjustments if permanent makeup was done in the same salon. After the adjustment, the shape and color of the eyebrows look natural.
Why correction is needed
Correction is just the name of a repeat session. Many people think why correction is needed after a month. On it, the cosmetologist makes sure that everything is fine with the effect of your permanent tattoo, and that he did everything correctly. As a last resort, edits are made, but this does not always happen.
You need to visit a master, even if you don’t see the point in it. Here, a specialist can identify emerging negative consequences that need to be stopped as early as possible. They may not be noticeable to the girl, but they happen inside her.
It is important for the artist himself to be sure that the result of the tattoo is healing correctly, since he is responsible for it, as well as for your health.
When performing complex techniques, it is impossible to completely complete the drawing in one session, so revisions are carried out during a repeat session. It is better to carry out tattooing in two stages than in one, but place the pigment in the deep layers of the epidermis.
How often is the procedure done?
Eyebrow tattoo correction can be done from 1 to 5 times. The frequency of permanent makeup depends mainly on age (up to 30 years of age, the procedure is performed more often) and on skin type (if oily skin is also required, adjustments are required more often). And also from following the rules of eyebrow skin care.
Correction of permanent eyebrow makeup is carried out from 1 to 5 times. But the frequency may depend on compliance with the rules of care.
The break between corrections can range from 6 months to 3 years. On average, up to 30 years of age, the procedure must be performed once a year. After 30 years, adjustments are scheduled after 2-3 years. After 45 years of age, adjustment may not be necessary.
