What Is A Permanent Foundation Makeup?
A permanent face foundation is a cosmetic method that is also known as BB Glow semi-permanent foundation or semi-permanent BB cream.
It’s a short-term makeup treatment that smooths out skin imperfections, keeps the skin even, blurs acne scars, and hides blemishes.
This method originated in Korea. And the formula is organic and doesn’t contain chemicals that could harm the skin.
Actually, it’s a nutrient-rich formula that contains vitamins and antioxidants in it to nourish your skin and provide light to medium coverage.
After this treatment, you won’t have to get up 2 hours early to wear makeup and you will definitely get to work on time.
How Is The Procedure Done?
The procedure is performed by using a micro-needling device that implements organic formula (makeup particles) into the topmost layers of the epidermis.
There are 3 shades of this organic formula or serum to suit each skin type and those three serums can also be combined to achieve the perfect look you’re looking for.
You can discuss all this with the artist before the procedure so he/she would know what you really need.
You may think this method is painful but it’s not. Microneedling increases blood flow in the skin which will help stimulate new cell generation and promote the production of collagen and elastin.
