Permanent makeup can help you look and feel your best, saving time and effort in applying makeup every day. However, permanent makeup needs regular maintenance, so how do you know when it’s time to refresh your permanent makeup? Let’s take a closer look at the signs that it might be time for a touch up.
Pigment is Dull
Over time, the pigments used in permanent makeup can wear out or fade due to natural exfoliation, sun exposure, products, and metabolism. This can make the permanent makeup appear dull, which may require a refresher session to restore its vibrancy. If you notice that your permanent makeup has become dull or faded over time, then it is probably time for a refreshment. At Pinpoint Permanent Cosmetics we recommend letting your permanent makeup fade at least 50% to ensure a natural result.
You are Using Makeup Regularly
If you find yourself reaching for traditional cosmetics more often than usual, this could be an indication that your permanent makeup needs a refresh. While permanent makeup may never be as vibrant as topical makeup, (because permanent makeup is healed color underneath the skin), if you find yourself using traditional makeup products regularly that could be an indication that it’s time to re-evaluate your permanent makeup and consider getting a refresher session.
The Pigment has Changed in Color or Tone
The pigments used in permanent makeup are designed to last as long as possible without needing any special care; however, they can change over time due to changes in diet, lifestyle habits, or the natural fading process. For example, if you have recently gone vegan and stopped consuming dairy products, this could cause the color of your pigment to change over time. Additionally, if you have been exposed to the sun more than usual lately, the tone of your pigment may also become lighter or darker than before. In either case, these changes will require a touch-up session with a professional technician in order to restore the original color and tone of the pigment.
Refreshing your permanent makeup is essential in order for it to remain vibrant and healthy looking throughout its lifespan. If you notice that your pigment has become dull or faded over time, if you find yourself reaching for traditional cosmetics more often than usual lately, or if you have noticed any changes in color or tone of your pigment due to diet or lifestyle changes – then it may be time for a refresher session with a professional technician. Taking care of your permanent makeup will help ensure that it remains beautiful for years to come!
