Eyebrows are considered the hallmark of a person. That is why many girls resort to various makeup techniques in order to bring their face to a flawless look. The technique of permanent makeup is gaining more and more popularity due to its many advantages, but there are a number of contraindications for which the procedure is prohibited.
What is permanent makeup
Permanent makeup is one of the eyebrow tinting techniques using micropigmentation. This procedure bears a direct resemblance to tattooing. To give the eyebrows a new shape and color, a special composition is injected under the skin. The manipulation is carried out using a contour needle.
Depending on the density, real shape and desires, clients, in salon conditions, offer two options for the procedure:
- hairy;
- shading.
The hair technique is used when the eyebrows are not too thick and light in color. The desired shape and color is given by drawing hairs and contours in empty areas. Thus, the eyebrows are given not only shape, but also a thick look.
Tattooing in this technique has 2 subspecies:
- oriental (Chinese);
- European.
The first technique allows you to get the most natural eyebrows. The hairs in this case are drawn separately, changing direction and length. Drawing in the oriental technique is particularly difficult to perform, however, the result obtained justifies the efforts, the drawn eyebrow practically does not differ from the real one.
The technique of performing "European" make-up is to draw hairs in one direction, according to hair growth. The second technique is often performed in salons, since it is simpler and takes less time to complete.
To apply the "Chinese" technique, the specialist must have the skills of thorough drawing in order to obtain a high-quality result.
Shading (shooting) is used on very thin eyebrows or to correct the consequences of unsuccessful procedures. Leaving natural hairs, the specialist completes the necessary contour and fills in the gaps. The technique is widespread among girls, as it provides the result of regular makeup with shadows or pencil, without making the eyebrows unnatural.
Having done this procedure once, then it will be much easier to follow the eyebrows, since the finished shape allows correction only by removing excess hairs behind the contour. Permanent eyebrow makeup, contraindications to which are listed later in the article, has advantages over other tattoo techniques.

Why permanent eyebrow makeup has contraindications
Permanent make-up is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, but despite the positive reviews, it has a number of relative and absolute contraindications.

- oncology. In the presence of oncological formations, a person's immunity drops significantly, increasing the risk of developing infections;
- presence of moles on the eyebrows also prohibits tattooing;

How is the recovery after tattooing
Permanent eyebrow makeup looks bright at first, so girls consider the result unnatural. This type is observed due to reddened and irritated skin, therefore it is contraindicated to touch the treated areas. After a day, the redness and puffiness subside, and the eyebrows take on a natural look.
During the first 3-4 days, liquid may ooze from the damaged skin, therefore, several times a day, the eyebrow should be treated with chlorhexidine.
After healing, a crust forms on the surface of the eyebrows and the makeup looks less saturated. The crusts must also be treated with chlorhexidine. If you are concerned about dry skin, it is allowed to lubricate eyebrows with Bepanten cream several times a day. During the recovery period, the main thing is to maintain the integrity of the crusts.
