i want my eyebrows abd beauty spot done. Example Photo (http://www.traciegiles.co.uk/beautyspot.htm)

[Chinagem]

Only thing I would do is get a beauty spot. I've ALWAYS been jealous of my sister's. I wouldn't do the other stuff because: a) it's too harsh-looking for my personal style, b) I don't wear makeup that often so I'd feel weird.

I do think it's a good idea for women that wear makeup everyday as it could prob. save a lot of time.


ETA: I had only looked at the first website before I posted. After looking at the second website, I've decided that the procedure may not leave me looking too harsh so I'll keep an open mind for the future.

[Divine Inspiration]

Nah, that's not me at all. I don't wear makeup every day, but I agree with Chinagem that it's probably a great idea for ladies who wear makeup every day or ladies who enjoy wearing makeup that much.

Besides that, variety is the spice of life, IMO, and I can easily see myself regretting something permanent like that on my face.

Probably an excellent idea for the makeup wearer at heart, but definitely not for me. :)

YOU CAN HAVE MINE!!! I have been trying to get the one above my lip (like Janet Jackson) removed since I was 12!!!!!! I HATE THAT THING!!!!!! I have this really baddd habit of sticking my tongue out andd touching it....I HATE THAT THING... I feel like there's a BUG ON MY FACE!!!!

[Belle Du Jour]

The only thing I would want permanently is my eyebrow line extended. The hair is really thin at the end of my left eyebrow, so I have to fill it in.

[s_terry]

I wouldn't because makeup looks and eyebrow shapes and what's in constantly changes.

No because I might want plastic surgery one day and I've seen some jacked up eyebrows.
how will the new eyebrows hinder surgery?

[BerrySweet]

I like to change my look from time to time so that wouldn't work for me. Knowing myself, I'd get it done and then not like it and not be able to change it. I'd be stuck looking like Tammy Faye forever!!!!!!

[HairPhoenix]

No way! :nono: Cosmetics are a part of my PJism. I tend to roll with the changing trends. I can't get stuck in one look. And was it just me or was the third pair of lips (granny with the orange liner) toe-up? :eek:

As for the beauty mark, I must be blessed. Have one on my left cheek. :lol: I'm not vain... really I'm not. :look:

IA...I like variety! :yep:

[jrae]

Yeah, I would because I'm NOT a big makeup person. I'd get the permanent eyeliner and maybe color my eyelashes. I've got one long gray eyelash growing straight out from each eyelid.:eek: The rest of my eyelashes are dark and curly. :ohwell:

[secretdiamond]

Never... for the same reasons as others stated. Plus, a lot of those on the websites look horrible. They look worse than if it had been regular every day makeup. And I'm a REAL picky person, so I KNOW I wouldn't like it after getting it done. I'd become so depressed. :( If it's gonna be something permanent like that, it has to be ABSOLUTELY perfect without one flaw AND look natural at the same time.

[toinette]

never never nerver in a million yrs, for the same reason i would never get a tattoo: I dont want anything permanently on my body except for a fine-*** man.

[CaribbeanQueen]

They all look great BUT it looks ugly when they begin to fade. My nail tech has the permanent eyebrows and they now have a greenish-tinge to them after years of fading.:ohwell: She had to go and have them redone.

How much does the service cost btw?

[natural_one]

I have permanent eyeliner and i am glad that i did it. It didnt hurt, cost me 150 total and it saves me so much time and it has already paid for itself cause i never ever left the house without my eyeliner so i was going through eyeliner like crazy. It looks very natural and no one would know that i have it unless i told them. I will have to take a pic and post it so you can see.

[RainbowCurls]

No, no, NO!
I don't wear make up that often (except mascara and lipgloss) and when I do I like to try different looks.
Also, just imagine waking up in the morning and having drawn in eyebrows, or lip liner that you just can't get rid of.... eurgh!
The idea freaks me out.

i'm the same way. i'm always changing my makeup looks and eyebrows.

how long have you had it? have you had to have your eyeliner retouched yet? Also did it scab up a bit like how tattoos do when they are healing?
