Cosmetic tattooing

I’ve been thinking about getting cosmetic tattooing, or permanent makeup done for a long time now, and I’ve finally decided to proceed with it (consultation appointment tonight!)  The main reasons I want to do this are 1) to reduce the amount of makeup I need (with potential cost savings over time), and 2) to save time getting ready every day.

The areas I am getting tattooed are:

eyebrows

eyeliner

lips

In the future, I think I may even do some eye shadow shading as well – I’ll bring in my beloved MAC Satin Taupe so they colour match it.

APRIL FOOLS!!!

I hope I succeeded in fooling you!
Let me know in the comments if I did or not!

At this point in my life, I would never get permanent makeup!  I’m way too enamoured with playing around with pretty cosmetics and trying different colours / looks.  Maybe in the future, I would consider getting my eyebrows done – I’ve seen this really natural looking technique called “eyebrow embroidery” which is semi-permanent and the results last about 2 years.  Beyond that, I don’t think I could ever commit to anything permanent!  (and no, I do not have any tattoos)

Happy April Fools!
