Who shouldn get permanent makeup?
People who tend to easily hyper-pigment, keloid formations, or marked reaction to skin trauma. People who have been off Accutane for less than one year. For people with tendencies to cold sores/herpes, an anti-viral prescription is needed prior to getting permanent lip color applied. A person who spends a lot of time in the sun or in tanning beds or booths without protection is NOT a good candidate for permanent makeup since the UVA rays will change the pigment tones, sometimes even turning browns to blues. A person who is undergoing a major life trauma should NOT get permanent makeup. It is generally thought of as unwise to alter one’s physical appearance while undergoing major stress in life. It’s probably best to wait until the issues causing the trauma are resolved.
