Precare for Permanent Eyeliner
Preparing For The Appointment
The best permanent makeup begins WAY before the appointment! Your skin is the largest organ of the body and needs to be in the BEST possible condition. Even though we are working with just a small area of skin, it is a part of your entire body system and what you put into or on your body can affect the process & retention.
