I have to write a note to let you know how amazing it is to have beautiful permanent eyebrows. When I wake up in the morning, rather than seeing virtually no eyebrows in the mirror, I see PERFECT ones! Your wonderful artistry saves me AT LEAST five precious minutes of makeup application every day. (My husband said I will soon recoup the cost by saving eyebrow pencil purchases!) Seriously, though, you are an amazing artist. My eyebrows are wonderful and I am enjoying every minute.

When I saw your great website and the fact that you actually completed the training of a tattoo artist, I knew you were the one for me. Of course, meeting you "sealed the deal." Your personality, professionalism, expertise and, most importantly, your obvious care and follow-through sold me.

As I told you when we last met, I will be calling you very soon to schedule a permanent lipliner procedure. It is just too wonderful not to take advantage of it agaIn. I love you!

Letter of referral:It is my pleasure to offer this letter of recommendation for Elizabeth. I have known Elizabeth for four years and as her trainer under an apprenticeship she served in my shop during 2006. She is my "shining star". During this time I have had the opportunity to observe her in professional and educational endeavors, and would like to highlight some of her outstanding skills.During her apprenticeship with me, she proved herself a dedicated and meticulous student. Her hunger for knowledge frequently caused her to extend her research more deeply into specific topics to generate more in-depth questions for me. She has a "can-do" approach to problems and quickly looks for the best solutions with a calm demeanor.Diligent, and with advanced training, these skills have taken her to a new level as an artist. She has the ability that is critical in choosing the right colors and design that will suit the clients face. Her experience has contributed to her ability to perform beautiful permanent makeup that a client will be pleased with.Elizabeth builds respect by demanding the best effort from herself. She is committed to making her personal goals and any project she is associated with a success and is always thinking of ways to improve the efficiency, safety, and outcome for her clients.I can highly recommend Elizabeth as a talented professional in the permanent cosmetics industry, and your permanent makeup artist of choice.Cathy MontieAbsolute Permanent CosmeticsSan Diego, California

Throw away that eyebrow pencil! "Elizabeth, thank you so much for giving me beautiful eyebrows. I threw away my eyebrow pencil!"Eyebrows frame the face. Done correctly, permanent eyebrows create a natural look and eliminate the need to draw eyebrows on a daily basis. Imagine the time saved by having Permanent Eyebrows.First, the eyebrow design is created to fit your facial features. A blend of applied techniques are used to achieve your desired look. A soft powdered brow, hair stroke or a makeup look. An artist must consider the natural aging process when designing your permanent makeup.You do not want an extreem design or a pigment used that will never fade. Not only does our style of makeup change, so does our skin.We must also take into consideration that the skin is our canvas, and not all techniques will age as well for one as for another. For instance a "hair stroke" or "feathered hair stroke" will only look great on tight non-porous skin. A preferred technique is the "powder fill". The end result is a beautiful soft-edged eyebrow that has dimension and flow. It looks like soft powder. This technique ages quite nicely.Effortless, soft, natural eyebrowsTogether we will decide on a design that is suitable for cosmetic tattooing. Only the best pigments are used. As your permanent eyebrows age, you can be assured that they will fade to a softer, lighter version of what they once were. No off colors here.Simplify your mornings with permanent eyebrows from Cosmetic Ink.Aside from the before and after pictures on my website I keep an extensive portfolio showing many different examples of the procedures I perform.

Permanent Lipstick - subtle and sexy."I can't believe I started to fall asleep while you were doing my lips! Others told me that it was very painful. I could barely feel you working on me. I am so pleased, what a great experience it was and now I have beautiful lips again". A.F Permanent lip definer or full lip color.The aging process causes the color and definition of our lips to fade, leaving lips looking pale and thin. We can re-create that youthful, appearance by having permanent lip color applied. By using a very effecting topical, Elizabeth is able to use anesthetics that numb the lips very comfortably. In fact, many women fall asleep during this procedure. Imagine your lipstick never wearing off.Full permanent lip color can be applied in a natural hue or a more vivid color. Elizabeth handdraws the shape to ensure balance and symmetry. No ink is applied until the color is choosen and pattern drawn meets the client's approval. Soft and natural to bold and sexy. A "Lip-definer" is pigment applied in a way that recreates the definition of your faded lip line to produce a fuller, look. Full lip color serves a number of solutions from uneven lip color, loss of pigment, uneven lip lines and pale lips. It can replace the need for lipstick or provides a nice base for a softer more natural look.Lip color is enhanced by wearing gloss or different shades of lipstick over your permanent lip color - you will find your color lasts all dayJust add lip gloss and your ready to go. No more smearing or re-applying lipstick throughout the day

You can expect some puffiness for the first few days with a heavy "makeup look". Beautiful eyes all day long.Permanent eyeliner helps shape and defines the eyes. Subtle or dramatic.

Permanent Makeup Questions and Answers San Diego Permanent Makeup and Cosmetics

Elizabeth Rose (858) 485-6561 (760) 749-8583

What to expect

WHAT IS PERMANENT MAKEUP?Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing, a very specialized form of tattooing. There are many marketing terms out there like micro-pigmentation and semi-permanent and they all mean the same thing, the tattooing of makeup. It is the art and science of implanting pigment through the epidermal layer of the skin into the upper dermal layer of the skin. The epidermis is the outer layer of skin that is visible to all and is constantly shedding and renewing itself. Due to the fact the pigment was placed into the epidermis and the upper dermal layer, the color we have chosen for you will appear a bit darker then the healed and final result. When the color in the epidermis sheds you will see a lighter softer version of the pigment through a thin veil of healed epidermal skin.IS IT SAFE?Yes, if your artist is following proper guidelines. It is your responsibility to yourself to do your homework and ask questions. The same strict sanitation and sterilization guidelines followed by Nurses, Doctors and Hospitals are followed by myself, and are in accordance with San Diego County Health Department as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). This includes; brand new single use sterile needles which are properly disposed of after each client, the use of an autoclave which is tested periodically to insure proper sterilization, all machine parts are either disposable or sterilized after each client, gloves are new and clean for each client and changed during the procedure as needed, a new bed sheet for each client that is disposed of properly after each procedure, a new and clean disposable apron is worn by myself and disposed of after each client, as well as many other precautions to insure my clients safety as well as my own.The possibility that you would have any allergies, reactions, or complications from these procedures or pigments is extremely rare, almost non-existent, especially with todays health standard. It is important for you to follow all aftercare instructions. I provide an after care kit for each client which includes your ointment and instructions.ARE YOU LICENSED?Yes. I am licensed/permitted with both San Diego County Health Department and the City of Poway Business Licensing. I also have achieved numerous certificates in blood born pathogens and cross-contamination prevention, as well as artistry, technique, color and design.I am also a member in good standing of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP). The SPCP is an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting safety, excellence, and professional standards by providing education, certification, and industry guidelines. As a member I have hours of training and certifications that must be met yearly.DOES IT HURT?Once again this is where the skill of the technician is very important and not only can but will make all the difference. With the topical anesthetics available to us today, discomfort is very minimal and works for most. However, there are some people with a very low pain tolerance and just applying a topical anesthetic doesnt quite work for them. For this reason I have spent much of my time training on how to properly anesthetize the skin and have learned the tricks of the trade. These are the little things that make all the difference and are not known to a technician unless they are out there diligently training and have a few years in the saddle. Even my full lip clients are absolutely amazed on how comfortable it is.WHAT METHOD OF IMPLANTION DO YOU USE?Permanent makeup is performed by any one of the following devices; the coil machine, the rotary, the digital, and the manual method (tap method). All four devices can produce the same beautiful result. With a trained and skilled technician, one devise or machine does not hurt any more or any less then the other. It is not the device/machine; it is without question the artist behind the machine/device. Which ever device a technician chooses to work with, they should learn it until they know it intimately and it has become an extension of their hand. I have trained and have performed all procedures using all the different devices over the years and have a great respect for them all. Every artist must choose a tool and my personal choice is the coil machine. I love the coil machine because it offers such a wide range of needle groupings that are just not available with the other devices. It is these groupings that help me to achieve the smudgy eyeliners and the soft powdery eyebrows. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?Eyebrows, eyeliner, and lipliner will generally take from an hour to an hour and a half to complete. A full lip procedure can take up to two and a half hours. Keep in mind this includes approximately twenty minutes to fully anesthetize the area.HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?All color fades and that is just a fact. The color our hairstylist uses for our highlights fade, the paint on our cars fade and at a much faster rate if a car is left outside compared to a car that is parked in the garage, even the professional and industrial paint used on our homes fade in time. Everything has a life span and nothing lasts forever. The expensive fillers millions of people are using like Botox, Restylane, and Juvederm, although they wonderfully get rid of lines and creases which in turn make us look younger, wear off and must be re-applied every three to six months on average. We even see our manicurist every two to four weeks. Everything fades or degrades with time. Permanent Makeup, however, lasts longer than most other beauty/cosmetic procedures while comparably priced. Permanent makeup will last years for some and others will need to refresh their color annually. It is my experience that although some will need to refresh their color annually it will last much longer for most. All permanent makeup fades due to the exfoliation process, this is the process of the epidermis continually shedding and regenerating itself. Permanent makeup will last longer for some and not as long for others due most importantly to lifestyle, health, and skin type. Some contributing factors that will accelerate fading are: sun exposure, using products that promote cell regeneration (Retin-A, Renova, Glycolics and Alpha Hydroxy Acids), extra oily skin which regenerates more rapidly, unhealthy skin, medications, and smoking.WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN TATTOO INK AND THE INK USED IN PERMANENT MAKEUP?Pigment and ink are different and it is pigment that it is primarily used in permanent cosmetics. This is why we use pigments, because we want our eyebrows to look natural. We prefer the soft blondes, the beautiful shades of brown, and taupes for our eyebrows. Some like black for their eyeliners but others prefer the black/browns, charcoal, or the medium and even soft browns. To achieve these beautiful colors we are using pigments formulated specifically for the face. There are many manufacturers of permanent makeup pigments and alot of mis-information about them. Some list their ingredients, others will not, even when requested by an artist. I have tried just about every line available early on and have my tried and true manufacturers that I can depend on.HOW MUCH DOES PERMANENT MAKEUP COST?The fees for permanent make-up vary between the technicians from extremely low to very expensive. Be very careful of extremely low fees. You absolutely get what you pay for in this business and it will show. Those that are good and do great work are charging for their talent, skill, training, and education. Those who are not skilled and talented are making their living off those of you who are price shopping. This does not mean the most expensive is the best choice either. Look, I fix a lot of work and see a lot of things that just breaks my heart. My advice to you is to ask the right questions and look at the artists portfolio. The portfolio should be extensive and impressive. Ask about training and education and ask to see their certificates and licenses.WHAT IS A TOUCH-UP AND WILL I NEED ONE?A touch-up is an appointment that is needed most of the time to complete the procedure process. The touch-up appointment is a fine tuning session to make any adjustments that may be needed or desired to the shape, fullness, and color and to go over any areas that may not have taken well the first time. Almost always the color implanted is not perfect the first time when healed that is why permanent makeup is almost always a two or more step process. My personal experience is that most will require one touch-up, whereas some will require a second touch-up appointment. Once in a great while I will have a client where everything healed just perfectly and a touch-up is not needed at all, rare, but it does happen. It is my opinion everyone should utilize that touch-up appointment, even if everything appears perfect. A second coat will give your procedure depth and longer life. We put a second coat on our nails and on our walls. Everything looks better and lasts longer with a second coat, so will your eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. I love touch-up appointments. This is where I get to look at my work and add the finishing touches to make what already looks great even better.IS THERE A FEE FOR A TOUCH-UP APPOINTMENT?I think you end up paying for your touch-up appointments almost always whether you realize it or not. It used to be the norm to include the touch-up appointment but since permanent makeup has become so popular and mainstream, pigments, supplies, insurance, permits, training etc. has become so expensive for us and just keeps going up. When Botox first came out, if your doctor or nurse didn't use enough product to stop the movement, your touch-up was free. Not anymore. If it doesnt work well enough for you the first time guess what? Your touch-up is no longer free and a small fee is assessed for the touch-up to cover the cost of the additional product needed. It is the same with any of the fillers, photo facials, hair removal, laser treatments, and most of the cosmetic treatments today. It is just too expensive to offer anything for free. Some technicians are raising the prices of their procedures and giving you a free touch-up included in that higher price, while others are keeping the procedure prices lower and charging a small set up fee for the touch-up appointment. This small set up fee covers the cost of the materials being used to perform the touch-up. Be very cautious of extremely low fees and offers that state free touch-ups for life (or an extended amount of time). You get what you pay for and it will show.WHAT IS A REFRESHER AND WILL I NEED ONE?If you have made the decision and the initial investment to have permanent makeup done, then you will need periodic maintenance appointments in order to keep your eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips looking great. This is called a refresher. As talked about before all color fades and needs to be refreshed. A refresher appointment is usually needed every 1-8 years after the completion of the initial procedure and/or any touch-up appointment(s) that may have been needed to complete the process. About twenty percent of my clients require or desire annual maintenance appointments, for most, it will be much longer.IS THERE A FEE FOR REFRESHING MY PROCEDURES?Yes. This fee will vary amongst technicians. Some are charging the full amount all over again, but most and the standard in the industry, is to charge a much lower discounted maintenance fee.WHO BENEFITS FROM PERMANENT COSMETICS?Everyone and anyone who can identify with one any one of the following:- Poor vision or just cant see well to apply your makeup anymore.- Allergies to topical makeup or skin sensitivities.- People who wear contact lenses.- An unsteady hand or poor motor skills due to Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, or stroke survivors.- Loss of hair due to thinning or scars.- People with busy lifestyles and hectic work schedules who want to look their best all day long with out having to stop, check, and re-apply their makeup due to smudging or smearing. Those of you whom after a busy day want to look great for your evening without having to do a thing.- People who enjoy activities like working out at the gym, yoga, swimming, boating, hiking, biking, tennis, camping, etc., that are concerned with their eyebrows or makeup coming off. Some people even avoid activities such as these because of that concern. Through permanent makeup, I can give you the personal freedom you need to go do the activities you enjoy and look great doing it.- People who have albinism. The difference color and definition can make with permanent makeup is remarkable.- People suffering from Trichotillomania. I have found this disorder to be prevalent mostly in young to middle-aged women. To those of you who struggle with this disorder, I can help you. I know at times it is worse then at other times. With permanent makeup, even during those stressful times, your eyebrows and lash line can look natural and defined. Just knowing your eyebrows and lash line are going to be there despite what you may be going through will give you a great sense of peace and make life a whole lot easier.- Women who have had reconstruction breast surgery and now want their areolas tattooed. Woman who have had breast augmentation or a breast lift and were left with scars around their areolas. Woman who suffer from mastitis. Areolas can be tattooed on beautifully and artistically. They can look very real and virtually impossible to tell the difference. Permanent makeup can help many different people on many different levels or it can simply give you a few extra minutes in the morning (for some of you...many extra minutes in the morning). For some, I am making a real difference and changing lives and for others it is a luxury and a matter of convenience. No matter what your reason for choosing permanent makeup, I will make sure it is one of the best decisions you have ever made for yourself.DO YOU DO CORRECTIVE WORK?Yes. Unfortunately 40% of my work is corrections. This is why it is so important to choose a talented, skilled, and experienced artist. I have gained the knowledge and experience needed to correct any color and shape. If you have had permanent makeup done that you are dissatisfied with please call me for a free consultation.DO YOU HAVE A PORTFOLIO?Yes I do. Aside from the before and after pictures on my website I keep an extensive portfolio showing many different examples of the procedures I perform. Every permanent makeup artist should have a portfolio, this is our resume.IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION THAT YOU DID NOT FIND AN ANSWER TO THEN PLEASE EMAIL ME OR GIVE ME A CALL. I WOULD ENJOY HEARING FROM YOU.

Facts About Permanent Makeup, Training and Being "Certified"

Permanent Makeup requires knowledge of the skin, structure of the face, traditional color theory as well as color theory as it relates to the living canvas of the skin. Colors placed under the skin surface behaive very differently than colors placed on top of the skin. Color theory has to completely be relearned when your talking about implanted colors.It also requires a thorough understanding of traditional cosmetic makeup application,Always schedule a consultation before making an appointment for any permanent procedure. Look at their finished (healed) work. Pictures of fresh work are not a good indicator of what the finished result looks like. Fresh permanent cosmetics may look a stark to the average person, so be sure to see healed results. Take time, do research, ask questions and make an informed decision. Your face is too important to gamble with. The Facts About Training.In the industry of Permanent Makeup, there is a great need for higher industry standards of training. The fact is most technicians have taken a 2-5 day introductory course to prepare them to work on your face. It is very seductive when classes are offered as a form of what is called training but is really more of an introduction to the craft and then offer a certificate where the technician thinks they are "certified" and move on with their idea of this art form. Tattoo artists do long apprenticeships and for a good reason, it gives you time to do work, see it come back and learn. I have clients come to me that have had prior work done by artists who have been in the industry for many years, and their work is sub-standard.What I would like to see is the standards of training raised by offering apprenticeship type classes. I realize that not everyone lives in an area where there is a trainer who offers this type of program. In my opinion it would be very helpful to a learning technician to be able to see the work they performed, how the color healed, how the design looks, get input from the model etc and spend more time with their trainer. In other words a program that is more like a traditional tattoo apprenticeship. Unfortunately for most wanting to become a Permanent Makeup artist don't know exactly what they are looking for in a fundamental trainer. There are very few trainers offering apprentice type training. So what is left to choose from are short term programs which look more appealing when considering family or work schedules, so part of the problem is the demand from students wanting to take a down and dirty class and get back to their businesses, etc. There are pioneers in this industry that are dedicated to higher training standards. Some offer intense training programs that you can be assured that when one is finished they will be confident to work on their own. I encourage anyone who is looking for training to contact the SPCP. "We are never beyond learning". It was once said"Without continuing our education we risk becoming antiquated in our techniques, an island unto ourselves ". No truer words ever spoken. A technician needs to have a thorough understanding of skin anatomy and the healing process.The skin is the largest organ of the body and is comprised of three layers, the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous. The epidermis is the outermost layer and contains no blood vessels or nerves. Its basic function is to provide a tough exterior to protect the body against environmental or physical injury, bacterial or viral invasion, and prevent moisture loss and dehydration. The epidermis is further divided into five sub layers, which are characterized by the stages of hardening of keratinocytes, the primary cell type found in the epidermis. Keratinocytes begin their migration in the basal layer of the epidermis and grow progressively flatter and harder until they reach the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, where they die and are eventually slough off. In order for the permanent makeup procedure to be effective, the pigment must be implanted below the epidermis into the dermis. If the pigment is not placed deeply enough it will wear off quickly as it is sloughed off with the epidermal cells. Needles inserted too deeply will cause unnecessary pain and bleeding and may even produce scarring. The thickness of the epidermis varies from one area of the body to another. It is thinnest on the eyelids and thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. An experienced permanent makeup artist will be able to adjust needle insertion depth in order to place the pigment properly into the dermis to get the best possible result.The healing process begins as soon as the integrity of the skin is damaged. Within a short time the first phase of healing, the inflammatory phase begins and the body tries to minimize the damage being inflicted. Various chemical signals or factors are released that attract phagocytes to the damaged tissue. Phagocytes are the clean-up cells that consume bacteria, debris and damaged tissue and also release the chemical signals that initiate the proliferation phase of tissue healing. The migration and division of cells, collagen deposition, granulation tissue formation and epithelialization characterize this phase.

Choosing the Right Artist For YouIf you've decided permanent makeup is right for you, choosing the right technician is imperative. The technician you choose should be well trained and experienced in executing the procedures. Woman considering Permanent Makeup should know their technicians credentials, but knowing their capability is equally important. Permanent makeup is permanent. Though many things are important when choosing a technician, its not all about education, equipment and credentials. For example, great hand- eye coordination, an artistic eye, and genuine caring can't be taught. Pinpoint accuracy and preciseness are borne in the hands of an accomplished technician. I suggest these additional tips for choosing a technician: *Ask around. Check credentials. Clients should know what type of training their technician had. How long their initial training was, and whether they stay up-to-date with continuing education in this fast-growing field. Qualified technicians will gladly share this information.*Ask to see their portfolio. Look at the results. How precise is your technician? Look for before and after pictures in your technicians portfolio. The photos should be clear and enlarged to show detail. The level of detail a technician is capable of will reflect in her portfolio. Ask if the photo's are of the artists own work. *Communication. Be sure you're comfortable in every way with your technician. Be sure your needs and desires are understood. *Cleanliness. Many states have adopted their own method of oversight and regulation. In California, the State Department of Environmental Health inspects and issues licenses to body art facilities. This helps to ensure that the facility is maintained according to safety and sanitation regulations but does not at all regulate the ability of the technician or quality of the work. The technicians work area should meet all cleanliness standards.Elizabeth holds 5 certificates and travels annually for advanced continuing education classes.
