LOOKING FOR A PERMANENT MAKEUP ARTIST?

If you are looking for someone who is very good you can of course contact the expert on the show: Debbie Miller www.newportpermanentmakeup.com She is one of the best in the world and teaches advanced courses to others in the industry. She is in Newport Beach, CA. Watch the archived episode on permanent makeup to see her.

If you are not in southern california then contact the trade association for a list of someone near you, however just belonging to the association does not insure they are artistic, experienced and educated. Check them out. That is www.spcp.org If they are not at least a member of the spcp i would keep looking.

As they said on the show, get someone who does it every day.  Most everyone who knows about it has taken advantage of it, sort of like lasic surgery, now its mainstream, you just can't tell if its done well.  What you can tell is when someone inexperienced did a poor job.  The result we have all seen are those eyebrows that are too high or have turned purple.  Don't worry, the experts won't do that to you, but if you are a victim of that, there are just a very few who can fix those well as it takes some experience.  So if you need corrective work because maybe the girl who does your pedicures offered you an "eyebrow special" and didn't realize what you were doing, its sad, but not entirely permanent.  It can most likely be corrected.  Scars and post breast reconstructions are another application of permanent makeup that many, even many physicians, are still not aware of.  Definately contact someone if you are a candidate. We all like to be the best we can be. 

How would I go about finding somebody who does this?I wear glasses and cannot see without them,so I just don't wear it anymore and would like to.

 I am a Permanent Makeup Specialist aka as a Micropigmentation Specialist/Technician.  I am licensed thru the State of Alabama Dept. of Public Health in the county I live in.  Bloodbourne Pathogen Classes are required and are controlled and inspected on a regular basis. I agree with some of the previous comments about checking out your technician with the State/County Health Dept., liability insurance, proper licenses for the city/state/business lic. and of course before and after photos as well as references.  Permanent Makeup has come a long way and most procedures can be performed with rather little to no pain.  There are very effective topical numbing agents just for permanent makeup procedures. Permanent Cosmetics also includes breast work, scar camouflaging and areola restoration coloring.  Permanent cosmetics are much more natural looking than the "painted on look" of conventional makeup since the pigment is implanted under the skin for that natural look, soft veil of color showing.  It also is great for those with physical handicaps, visual impairments, problems we experience as we get older, time-saving for the busy woman, atheletes, travelers, etc...  Check it out and just go for it!  You'll love it!
