Eye Makeup vs. Lip Makeup: Enhance Your Beauty with the Perfect Cosmetics

 What is the average lifespan of permanent makeup?

The "before and after" pictures that you see on Instagram are just the beginning of the journey that is permanent makeup. Before you can achieve those stunning, naturally healed results, you must first go through the healing process, which takes time and can be a bit of a rollercoaster. To help you through the process, we've broken down exactly what you can expect in the weeks following your treatment.

How long does long-term makeup stay on?

If you're considering using this treatment to save yourself time in front of the mirror every day, you're probably curious about how long it will last. After all, something that is designed to save you time should actually do so for at least some portion of the time it is used.

Fortunately, permanent makeup lasts a long time. Permanent makeup can last three to five years on average per treatment, which equates to three to five years of a stress-free daily beauty routine!

What happens to the skin during permanent makeup?

The epidermis is the top layer of our skin, followed by the dermis, and beneath that is a fatty layer of tissue known as the subcutaneous layer. In order for the permanent makeup to last and for our results to look natural, we must deposit our pigment into the epidermis in what's known as the 'sweet spot'. Depositing pigment too superficially will result in poor retention, while depositing pigment too deeply will result in more trauma to the skin, darker, cooler colours, and a lack of clarity in the hairstrokes once they have healed.

What Causes Fading?

Although this makeup lasts for a long time, it does not last forever. In fact, depending on where the pigment is placed, some makeup fades faster than others. Permanent pigment placed on the eyeline or lash line, for example, can usually last one to three years, whereas pigment placed directly on the skin can take up to five years to fade.

But what causes fading in the first place? We can attribute fading to a variety of factors, including your skin type, age, how well your skin reacts to pigment, the amount of sun exposure you get, and the products you use on your skin. Some of these are uncontrollable factors, while others are general lifestyle choices that can shorten or lengthen the results.

What happens to the skin after permanent makeup?

When the skin is broken, the body immediately begins the wound-healing process. This procedure is complex, and permanent makeup treatments typically last 4–8 weeks. Without getting too technical, the four major stages of the healing process are as follows:

• Hemostasis is the process by which blood starts to clump together at a wound to stop it from bleeding more.This stage can last a few days.
• Inflammation occurs when blood flow to the injury site increases and bacteria are destroyed. This stage will last a few days and be characterised by swelling, redness, soreness, and heat.
• Proliferation: Beneath the surface, the skin is now working to replace damaged tissue with new tissue. This stage can last up to two weeks.
• Maturation: the new tissues are remodelled to regain maximum strength. This stage may last up to 21 days (up to 2 years, depending on the wound).
