Houston Lace Eyebrows & Lashes

Beauty and women were always related to each other since the ancient times. No matter of what age is the woman, she wants to look good. Today not only girls apply make-up but the aged women also apply make-up to themselves. They consider their lips to be the most important part of their beauty. They can make any type of man come towards them by just using the beauty of their lips. Their lip make-up include lip gloss, lip sense, lip pencil etc. Lip glosses provide moisture and shine to the lips and prevent it from dryness. Lip sense is a semi permanent color to the lips as per the woman’s choice and keep the color smear proof and water proof. It also provides moisture to the lips. Lip pencils outline the lip line and make the lips more beautiful.

If an aged woman applies well chosen make-up then she can look even 10 to 15 years younger than her present age. First of all make up adds color to the pale skin of the aging woman. It makes the skin to looks as young as it was 10 years ago. It adds a tone to the paler aging skin and covers the aging factor of the body and gives a whole new look to the woman. It gives a new definition to the whole body. For example, by thinning eyebrows or darkening the lip line can redefine the beauty of a woman. It makes the woman feel young again.

Make up enhances the beautiful points of the woman. A correctly applies make up highly enhances those parts of the face that a woman thinks are most important to define their beauty. They include eyes, lips, cheeks etc. A correctly applied make up enhances the eye brows making the eyes more attractive. Lip sense and lip pencil can make the lips look more attractive, kissable and lustrous. It covers the pale color of the lips with its dark color when perfectly applied and makes the woman young again.

A make up can reduce the dark pockets beneath the eyes up to a great extent. This shows that make up can also disguise imperfections. The best example of this fact is that the thinner lips of aged women can be improved by using lip sense and lip pencil correctly which makes them thick by covering them with color and marks a perfect lip line around the lips. Finally, a well applied make up highly boosts the confidence of a woman. Once the woman has the make up on her face she feels automatically smarter and more beautiful than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions About Permanent Cosmetics

Q2) What is the recovery time for permanent makeup?

A2) Everyone is different, but a general rule would be 3-7 days on the surface, and another 10-14 days below the surface. It is common for a person to return to work the same day. Lips will have some residual swelling and will chap. There may be slight swelling after the eyeliner; brows may look darker than usual – all of which softens in a few days.

personal choice that enhances your permanent makeup.

Q9) How is it done?

A9) A sterilized, disposable needle is used to implant hundreds of tiny dots of colored pigment beneath the basal (top) layer of the skin enhancing natural features.

Q10) Does it hurt?

A10) The topical numbing anesthetic creams used today are much stronger than in years past. If you follow the simple rules beforehand of: no alcohol, aspirin, blood-thinning medications, Vitamin E, garlic or herbal supplements 3, preferably 5 days prior to your appt. will greatly reduce any discomfort associated with the procedure. Also, have no caffeine the day of the procedure. Following these guidelines greatly increases your comfort level during your permanent makeup procedure.

Q11) How long will it take?

A11) Most of the procedures require approximately 2-3 hours. The most important part of all the procedures is the artwork and choosing colors, both of which require approval by the client.

Q12) How soon will the results be visible?

A12) Within seven days you will notice a visible difference. We require all of our clients to come in for verification 30 days after creation at which time any adjustments will be made (if necessary).

Q13) How long will it last?

A13) Normally one to five years maybe longer. Re-enhancements otherwise known as “touchups’ or “refresher color boosts” are recommended for maintenance. You must remember that permanent makeup is a “low”, not a “no” maintenance procedure. You eventually will need a color touchup when your color fades. Once the color lightens you will know that you are ready for your refresher color boost! You cannot avoid this fact – everything fades with time, especially anything out in the sun.

Q14) What about allergies?

A14) Those with allergies are particularly good candidates to permanent makeup. If you are prone to allergies, you may ask the technician about an allergy test. The allergy test will be done using a red pigment. The red pigment is usually the one that will cause the most noticeable allergic reaction if there will be a reaction at all. Reactions are rare.

Q15) What does it cost?

A15) Fees vary according to the creation required and will be determined at a free consultation. But remember, you get what you pay for. You can expect to pay anywhere from $300-$600 per procedure, depending on your technician and your location. The smart thing to do is to for sure not to choose the cheapest artist, but you need not choose the most expensive artist either.

Q16) What if the shape isn’t what I want?

A16) The eyebrows are drawn on with semi-permanent marker prior to the start of any procedure, so you will see exactly what is going to be done before anything permanent is applied.

Q17) What about removal of pigment?

A17) We call removal “pigment lifting” which is available and works very well if the technician is trained in the process. Typically only small areas should be attempted to be lifted with either a salt/saline mixture or a similar “lifting” product, used for this purpose only– trying to removal larger areas of permanent makeup pigments will require more extensive treatment, such as a laser. Under these circumstances, contact a dermatologist.

Everyone has different ideas about what they find attractive in the opposite sex. In general, we are attracted to beauty associated with youth … smooth, unwrinkled skin, glossy thick hair, straight white teeth and a firm body. As we age, there are many thinks we can do to preserve and enhance our looks. Cosmetic dentistry, plastic surgery, liposuction, Botox injections and skin peels are just some of the treatments we seek to bring back the beauty of youth.

In addition to the usual lines and wrinkles which we associate with getting older, there is sometimes a specific issue caused by illness or hereditary factors, such as hair loss. Hair transplants have been around for many years, and can restore thinning hair on the scalp. It has been mostly men who have sought these treatments, as they wish to prevent or restore baldness.

Another problem experienced by both men and women is loss of hair in the eyebrow. The fashion for curved or arched brows has caused some women to pluck out too much hair with tweezers, and these hairs have stopped growing back. A good shape to the eyebrows is very appealing in both men and women, and can have a dramatic effect on how attractive that person feels.

A make up pencil may be used to give the appearance of hair, but if not done carefully, the face may end up with a clown like appearance. Fortunately there are a few more effective solutions.

Eyebrow transplants were originally developed for burns victims, and involves hair follicles being removed from the back of the head and implanted into the brow area. Treatments take 2-3 hours under a local anaesthetic, and the hairs are carefully placed to grow flat against the face in a natural direction. Hair taken from the scalp grows faster and longer than natural brow hairs, so the transplanted hair should be trimmed to keep a good shape.

An alternative to pencils and implants is semi permanent make up. This is very similar to having a tattoo, and the brows can be enhanced with lines carefully created to look like hairs, using the colour of your choice. A natural look is achieved by choosing the same colour as the hair on your head, or slightly darker. It is also important to follow the natural line of the brow bone.

Another solution to consider is false eyebrows made from human hair which can be glued on to give a natural effect. These are available in a choice of colours, with the hair secured to a flexible gel backing which is fixed in place with special adhesive.

Many women feel uncomfortable without their make up and wish they had the natural beauty and self confidence to look good as soon as they wake up, or at the gym or beach. It would be great to save time each morning, and not have to worry about getting your eye liner on without any smudges, or a wobbly uneven line around the mouth.

For those who have thin lips that have lost their definition, semi permanent make up is a cost effective solution to surgery or lip filler injections. Hair loss in the eyebrows caused by over plucking or ill health can also be disguised, and the shape of brows may be enhanced with these treatments.

A range of colours are available and your therapist will help to select the best one for your skin tone. A liner pencil is used to draw the new outline of the lips, eyebrows or eye liner, to ensure that you are happy with the anticipated outcome. Prior to treatment, an anaesthetic cream is applied to numb the area, and then the chosen colour is applied with a technique similar to tattooing.

Semi permanent make up can be applied as a lunch hour treatment. Beauty salons may employ a specialist who visits various locations, and can offer expert advice on what you can expect to achieve. When choosing a therapist, ask to see before and after pictures of clients they have actually treated, and ask how much experience they have.

After the initial treatment, the colour may appear stronger during the first few days, until it fades to a natural looking shade. Results can last for up to a year, depending on the type of skin and amount of pigment applied.

An unevenly shaped mouth or hair loss in the eyebrows can be corrected by creating a newly defined shape, this can create fuller lips. You can now enjoy the freedom of not having to spend time and money applying make up every day, and enhance your natural looks without the need for cosmetic surgery.
