Pigment is deposited into the dermal layer of the skin, giving the illusion of traditional makeup. Eyeliner, eyebrow creation or enhancement are the most common applications.
A cosmetic tattoo is semi permanent and will fade over time. The predominant reason for colour fading is the decomposition of pigments due to sun exposure. However, health conditions, medications and facial products containing strong exfoliation and skin lightening agents all can contribute to the need for maintenance. Precautions need to be taken with treatments such as laser, peels and microdermabrasion as these can fade pigment. The colour will need refreshing annually to maintain a beautiful fresh look.
A cosmetic tattoo is a soft natural enhancement to your appearance. It is especially beneficial to people who have allergies or skin sensitivities to traditional cosmetics, who are active sports or gym enthusiasts, or people who are in the public eye and want to look their best all all times, without worry. People with with poor vision, or who have dexterity challenges that make applying makeup difficult, find that semi permanent cosmetics offers an excellent solution for their beauty needs and their self esteem.
