permanent makeup

Inked facial enhancement

Permanent makeup is cosmetic tattooing that mimics the appearance of conventional makeup—typically eyeliner, lip color, or filled-in eyebrows.

The pigment is implanted into the skin's upper layers, lasting years rather than washing off daily.

Also called micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing: She got permanent makeup after chemotherapy left her without eyebrows.
