Permanent Cosmetics

Micro pigmentation is a revolutionary way to enhance your beauty.  "Permanent makeup" can accentuate and improve the definition of eyes, eyebrows, and lips.  This medically developed procedure is a method of implanting color pigment into the skin to create lasting cosmetic effects and esthetics. Permanent makeup can be soft or as dramatic as you want.

Most cosmetic pigments, or micropigments, are made from a dry, powdery and insoluble substance that is usually pulverized. When suspended in a liquid vehicle, the substance becomes a paint, or type of ink. BioTouch pigments come in a variety of colors specially formulated with iron oxide, an ingredient safe for the skin. Because the color is implanted just underneath the dermis layer of the skin, the resulting shade is soft and muted. The most common procedures for which permanent cosmetics are used are eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip liner.

Eyebrows

Permanent makeup will make eyebrows look fuller and balanced with your facial shape. Color shading will compliment your hair colors and features.

Lips
Lip liner helps accentuate and define your lips, enhance the shape and correct uneven lip contours.  The entire upper and lower lips can be pigmented in a shade of your choosing -- ideal for lips that will not hold lipstick!

Eyeliner
Eyeliner is applied to the lash line (upper and lower) to make eyelashes look fuller and to add definition to the eyes. Choose a natural looking fine line or a darker, more dramatic appearance.
