The world of make-up is an interesting one with the craze being at an all-time high today. Looking good and well put together is not a want but a need in the competitive world. Many people seek to reduce the time of make-up application every morning.

Semi-permanent make-up has hence emerged as an increasingly popular alternative to traditional make-up, especially among celebrities, working women and others looking to do away with the tedious morning make-up ritual. The demand for a procedure like semi-permanent make-up is therefore gaining popularity. To give you a better understanding of what semi-permanent make-up is, we give you a rundown on everything you need to know before saying yes to the procedure.

WHAT IS SEMI-PERMANENT MAKE-UP?

Semi-permanent make-up enhances your features while giving you a natural, untouched fresh look. The treatment includes perfectly-shaped eyebrows, long-lasting liner and lip colour enhancement, with the help of new revolutionary treatments that have replaced the obsolete methods of tattooing skin with permanent pigments.

Besides cosmetic use, semi-permanent make-up also has its medical uses and can camouflage vitiligo patches, scars and pigmentation. The treatment can be done using organic pigments and nano-blading technique which do not cause scarring unlike micro-blading—the method being used in India until now.
