Millions of women are now headlong into that frenzy of shopping,wrapping, decorating, socialising, partying, working, card writing, concert and nativity attending, family diplomacy and constantly searching for innovative ideas to make the most sensational Christmas dinner yet!

In today’s increasingly fast paced world it can be hard work looking our best all the time and with increasing career and home life demands our appearance isn’t always a priority. There is an answer though; in the UK thousands of women are opting for cosmetic enhancements as a time saving way to look their best with minimum effort.

In the last five years the development of permanent cosmetics has grown tremendously and has become the latest innovation in the beauty industry within the UK and Europe.

Permanent cosmetics are a type of cosmetic tattooing where microscopic particles of hypo allergenic pigment are infused into the reticular layer of skin
in order to create a shadow of colour that mimics the most perfectly applied make-up in soft natural tones of colour.

Because the pigment sits in the skin, the effect remains with you twenty four hours a day and gradually fades over a number of years. The procedure is no more painful then having your eyebrows tweezed and the pigments used are designed to blend naturally with the skin.

The latest 3D hair-stroke technique imitates hair creating a perfectly groomed natural looking brow – so far removed from those old fashioned, block eyebrows that could actually give quite a hard and ageing look to a face.

Eye enhancements can be as subtle or dramatic as you wish – captivating, brighter, shinier, smouldering eyes, the choice is yours. Your lashes will look darker and thicker and you will never have to worry about smudges again.

For those who yearn for sensual lips, with or without the fillers, read on! Sadly we’re not all blessed with plump lips and as we get older it’s common to lose fullness, shape and natural colour making lips appear thinner. Long term cold-sore sufferers can end up with an uneven lip line and many of us have no symmetry to begin with. All this can be corrected with a new lip line and a flattering blush of colour blending into the lip for the most natural exquisite look.

One of the great things about this new wave of semi-permanent cosmetics is that it really can be as natural or as dramatic as you like. With extensive consultations, nothing is left to chance.

So there you are, another thing to fit in before Christmas! Or maybe save it until January when your ‘New You’ campaign kicks in! Whenever you are ready, call in to Loved for a consultation with me and together we’ll plan the new picture perfect you.

Until then have a merry, merry Christmas.
