Most women have a makeup bag full of all kinds of cosmetics and "put their face on" every morning. Some though have an allergy to cosmetics and aren't able to wear makeup. According to WebMD.com, studies suggest that up to 10% of the population will have a reaction to cosmetics at some point. Those who want to wear makeup now have a solution in micropigmentation, also known as permanent makeup.
A permanent makeup is similar to getting a tattoo and can be used for lip lines, full lip color, eyebrows, eyeliner, eyelashes or to reduce the appearance of scars. Many who aren't able to wear traditional makeup can have a permanent makeup procedure done, and always look their best.
