Permanent Makeup
Do you need a little help keeping your face on? If your makeup wears off during the day, you could get a boost with permanent makeup.
For many of us, makeup is an art. We look forward to waking up in the morning and create a beautiful masterpiece on our own skin. The perfect winged eyeliner, the glowing highlighter, every bit of makeup is something special and every day we get to create a look we love.
However, there are the days when spending more than ten minutes on your makeup is not gonna happen. Whether it is because you are running late or you are just having a down day and can’t imagine being creative in that moment. Whatever the reason may be, there are days when applying makeup is a no-go, but that doesn’t mean you have to leave the house with a naked face.
If you are used to wearing makeup all the time, it can be hard to imagine yourself without it and even more difficult to leave the house that way. That is why permanent makeup is such a great option. There are many benefits to permanent makeup and there are a variety of services that can help you get the look you want.
Don’t get us wrong, we support a naked face and think every woman (and man for that matter) should feel beautiful and confident in their own skin, no makeup needed. But for some, makeup is a must.
Permanent makeup allows you to go out without applying any makeup while still having the look of makeup. We offer microblading, eyeliner tattooing, and lip coloring permanent makeup services. These treatments can give your eyebrows a fuller look, add a pop to your eyes, and help make your lips stand out more. These are simple makeup tasks that make all the difference and can help you look as though you applied makeup even on the days you didn’t.
If you hate makeup but you also have light-colored eyebrows, microblading can help make your eyebrows darker and fuller, allowing you to love your look without having to wear makeup. If you want to make your eyelashes look fuller and darker, eyeliner tattooing can help. Or maybe you just want your lips to pop a little more. Getting permanent lip coloring can help while keeping everything looking natural.
A:Traditional PM is with use of a machine and needs touch ups about every 2-3 years (give or take, everyone had different results) it has a more "Makeup Look" although can also look very natural. Microblading is VERY natural and hairlike. It is done with a hand tool and is more superficial (goes less deep) so it does not last as long 9-18 months.
Q: If Microblading doesn't last as long why is is the same price?
A: We do not price services on how long they last we price them on the time they take to do and the risk and liability involved. Remember: this is tattooing your face and it is very important we take our time and do a beautiful job. You will find place that will do it cheaper but if they are not at the skill level you are looking for you may end up paying more to have them fixed later.
Q: I have had my brows done before somewhere else can I just get a touch up?
A: No, since we did not do your initial tattooing it is very important we do at least 2 sessions with you. Most people do not realize they need a color correction since their last tattooing and that can take 2-3 some times even more sessions depending on the degree of difficulty. Most of the time touching up other work ends up being much more difficult. If you are looking for a touch up price you best bet to to go to the individual who initially did your PM.
Q: What is the after care like?
A: It is different for permanent makeup and microblading. Please be aware that both need to stay out of the sun for 2+ weeks and no pools, Jacuzzi, steam rooms etc. Microblading needs to avoid any water or moisture including sweat for 2 weeks. Please contact LML if you would like full after care information. Please don't schedule this before a big event or vacation.
Q: Is it going to hurt?
A: There are amazing numbing products. You numb for 25-30 mins prior to your appointment. Brows: Painless. We have had clients fall asleep while getting their brows done. Eyeliner: It is a bit uncomfortable. I would say it is painful it is just a weird tickling sensation. Most people are timid having someone around their eye with a needle but if you just relax and let it happen it is not difficult.
Q: How long will it last?
A: Permanent makeup is not permanent for life. There is no guaranteed time frame permanent makeup will last for. The color choose, skin type (where you fall on the Fitzpatrick scale) and your lifestyle can all be factors in the longevity of the PM. We have even seen skins that will not take the pigment at all.
Q: Why did it last so long when I got it done 20 years ago?
A: We have less aggressive machines now to prevent building a ton of scar tissue. Most of the techniques used that long ago were solid eyebrow designs. We do hair-stroking at LML and because it looks so real and natural it makes the tattoo fade faster. You are realistically looking at coming in every 2 years.

No Naked Face
As any woman who wears makeup knows, going out without any makeup on at all can lead to some comments. We have all heard the “You look tired,” “What’s wrong,” “You look sad” comments that have us rolling our eyes and wondering why we even try leaving the house without makeup.Don’t get us wrong, we support a naked face and think every woman (and man for that matter) should feel beautiful and confident in their own skin, no makeup needed.

Save Money
Makeup can get pricey. If you wear makeup every day, you could be spending thousands on makeup every year. With permanent makeup, you can save some money on a few of the items you buy regularly. With the services we offer, you could never have to buy an eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, or lip tint ever again! How nice would that be? You could always look as though you are wearing these items and save money for your other favorite beauty products.No Maintenance
As you go throughout your day, makeup can begin to smudge or run, which can leave you looking less than perfect. While you may always have to touch up some of your makeup, there are a few areas you don’t have to worry about with permanent makeup. No matter the activities you take part in or the weather, your eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips can always look perfect. Permanent makeup is resistant to everything. It will never smudge, run, or wear off. This makes it simple to feel confident that you always look great!Highlight Features
Maybe you are someone who doesn’t like wearing a ton of makeup or any at all. If that is the case, permanent makeup can still be a great option for you. Permanent makeup can enhance and highlight different features and be done to look completely natural.If you hate makeup but you also have light-colored eyebrows, microblading can help make your eyebrows darker and fuller, allowing you to love your look without having to wear makeup. If you want to make your eyelashes look fuller and darker, eyeliner tattooing can help. Or maybe you just want your lips to pop a little more. Getting permanent lip coloring can help while keeping everything looking natural.
Saves Time
As we already mentioned, applying makeup is an art form. It takes time, patience, and more time. While applying a full face of makeup is fun for a lot of people, not everyone has time to do this every single day. Whether you have to be up early to head to work or you have an extremely busy schedule with your kiddos, you will not always have the time to apply your makeup. Permanent makeup helps save time. Even if you apply some makeup, you will save time because you won’t have to worry about your brows, eyeliner, or lips.Reduces Allergies
Some people can be allergic to makeup and have sensitive skin that can break out with certain products. This makes it hard to find products that can work for you. Trying different brands can make matters worse, which leaves your face irritated and covered in rashes. Permanent makeup is great for those who have makeup allergies. You will not have to deal with allergic reactions to your makeup anymore! Enjoy the look of makeup without worrying that you may have a breakout.Frequently Asked Questions
