Lucky as we are to have the advanced treatments of modern medicine, they can leave some fairly nasty side effects. Among the many issues cancer patients are forced to deal with, those undergoing chemotherapy may begin to lose their hair. Not only that, one in ten of the UK population suffers from some form of alopecia, and may never grow hair in certain places.

For those who feel like they’ve drawn the short straw in this way, I have been lucky enough to help in restoring their confidence, improving their outlook, and in some cases, simply making them feel normal again.

As a Cosmetic Nurse, I get asked questions like this constantly.

‘Will I suit Semi-Permanent Makeup?’

‘Am I too old for this sort of thing?’

‘Isn’t that just for girls who love the tanned look?’

The answers are pretty simple. Yes, no, and definitely not! Semi-Permanent Makeup is more than just timesaving for those who like to create their own brows, or an easy extra to add on top of tan, hair and nails. It’s as flexible and artistic as makeup itself.

Have a style you want to wear constantly, but it takes too long to do? Semi-permanent Makeup will let you do it. You prefer a more demure, elegant, classic style of makeup, but find it drains far too much of your time regardless? It can solve that problem too.

Anything makeup can do, it can do better… (Bonus points if you now have that song in your head!)

That said, lets break down those questions.

Scarlett Johansson. Megan Fox. Angelina Jolie. Incredibly beautiful women, with incredibly beautiful lips. With the bar set so high, how can most of the rest of us hope to compete? Unless you happen to be genetically blessed, the best most of us can hope for is some cunning makeup manipulation to make our lips seem bigger and fuller than they really are.

But there is a way around this.

Because so many women feel the same way, a clever technique was developed to offer the luscious lips they dreamed of. I’m not going to lie, it isn’t cheap. Ah, but such is the way with cosmetic enhancements, we pay a high price for overcoming our genetics. But the results are spectacular.

We’ve all been there. Wake up late because your phone battery died. Waking up the kids takes way longer than it should, and you haven’t even been able to get in front of a mirror and put on makeup.

So you face the choice. Make sure you look ok before you leave the house and wind up late? Or dash out without a thought to it, and spend the day wondering what people are thinking?

With Semi-Permanent make up, you don’t need to make that choice.
