World class beauty is often defined by a radiant glow, confident smile and symmetrical features. All can be achieved with a little design time and a few strategically placed brush strokes. Forget the stamped and stenciled images of permanent makeup past. Instead, imagine the fresh beauty of a teen emerging from the swimming pool on a clear summer day. 

Many advances have been made over the last ten years in the world of micro pigmentation. Colors are softer, more natural and are applied with the highly skilled design techniques of an accomplished architect. The pigmentation is created by using minerals from mother earth, moistened with distilled water - all natural ingredients. So instead of an expensive surgical brow lift, think about trying out a custom drawn brow with a perfectly placed arch. A bargain at one tenth the price of surgery!  

As women age their metabolisms slow down often resulting in thinning hair and brows. A situation only exacerbated by over-plucking and coloring. A highly skilled permanent cosmetic technician has the ability to create a new youthful looking brow. First by lightly filing in the sparse areas and then going back over the entire brow with tiny hair strokes creating the natural look of movement. A good brow job is an instant freshener and in combination with other offerings, can create the illusion of a face lift with minimal discomfort and virtually no down time.

"I've had several clients fall asleep while I was doing their brows", April Meese said. "It's a huge trend, flawless pigmentation and more youthful features are what all women dream about" she adds. April Meese is a renowned certified permanent cosmetic professional practicing in Manhattan. April was rather hush hush when asked about rumored visits with VIP clients behind closed doors in Georgetown. Guess she doesn't tat and tell. 

In addition to brows, lips and lash enhancements are extremely popular. To create a lash enhancement the space between each eyelash is filled in with color giving eyes a sexy, luxurious look - no more messy mascara. Lips are also in high demand and the number one requested smile style is ... you guessed it - Angelina Jolie.

Results can last up to 15 years and require occasional retouching. Do your homework before you go, ask to speak with references and be sure you to go to a certified permanent cosmetic professional (CPCP).

    I had Asian friends who tattooed permanent eyeliner back in the early 90's. I haven't seen them in awhile - I wonder how it looks now.

    I'm very excited to try the brow fill. I've sent years trying to pencil them in naturally and this is exactly what I'm loking for. This is fantastic!

    A couple years ago April did my eyebrows, eyeliner and my lips. It made a world of difference. Now I don't have to wear much makeup at all! I love it and April too!!!

    April did my eyebrows a few weeks ago and I love it! No more filling in those blank spots! I was amazed at how it didn't hurt at all. I'm so proud of my former little drill team member and her success. She's beautiful inside and out!

    April did my brows about three months ago, and they look great. I needed some definition to my brows, since I am a bald man. I love them!

    Waking up with perfect brows every morning is ideal.. A must for every woman.
