Permanent makeup is the dumbest idea ever.

Instead of getting eyeliner and eyebrow filler tattoo'd on to "save time", save your money for laser hair removal and save time by never having to shave your legs again.

It's a win-win. You still save time, you'll have smooth legs for life, and you won't look like a clown when you're 80 due to permanent makeup.

My mom and my aunt have been getting their eyebrows done for several years. My dad recently had his eyebrows done (I think his newfound vanity is because he may be having a little bit of a mid-life crisis). Anyways, I've never seen any other guy with permanent eyebrows and I think my dad looks ridiculous. I can't look him in the face without nearly busting out laughing. So now when he visits, I have to avoid looking directly at his face. :eek: :confused: :rolleyes:

OH! Permanent hair removal is a DREAM of mine!!!
I wish they could just put shaped tape over my eyebrows and a swimcap on my head and dunk me in a vat of magic no-more-hair water

Only problem with this is similar to the other "fix-its" - fair skinned people sometimes end up with a mini dot where each follicle was removed.

I'm doomed to get up early for the rest of my life, I guess. :(

Bella Med Spa, my dear. Taylor is wonderful!

My grandmother, mother, aunt and sister have the eyeliner done, and my grandmother and possibly my mother have their eyebrows done. They have all begged me to do it and I laugh at them. There is no way I will ever do it. I think it looks silly.

You'll poke your eye out, kid. :cool:

FYI, there are valid medical procedures which require having a shot into the eye. I know at least four people receiving them, but that just freaks me out.

Blech. I just got a flashback of the Grey's Anatomy episode when the kid's spinal fluid was crushing his brain so Karev stuck a syringe in his eye to suck it out.

I don't wear makeup often, so I poke myself in the eye with the mascara wand more than the usual person. That's pure torture, so I can't even imagine someone coming at me with a pointy, metal eyeliner applicator! NOOOO!

This looks SO trashy on old people. The eyelids start drooping and so does the makeup - or it starts fading in parts and you look striped!

Yes! I was visiting with an older woman yesterday, and it was obvious that she had had her eyebrows done. It was so bizarre that all I could do was look at her eyebrows while we were talking.

I had my eyelashes permed and that was fantastic for about 6 weeks. I usually never wear anything but a tad of eyeliner and mascara. I was scared when it started to burn though. By then it was at a point of no return and all I could think of was blisters on my eyeballs. I don't think I'll go back. I tried the permanent hair removal as well, but after 6 or 7 visits, they refunded my money. It doesn't seem to work on my coarse type of hair. Darker hair responds better than this dirty strawberry blonde whatever it is that I have. So I guess I'll just have to shave every day. That's as far as I'll go. The gel nails are a thing of the past and I will say that I enjoy being more natural these days. It is a good feeling.

I just got permanent eyeliner and I love it. It's not about being too lazy to put eyeliner on, although that is a plus to getting it. I got it because 20 minutes after I put on eyeliner, it would all end up under my eyes making me look like a racoon! It looks good and I don't have to worry about checking mirrors every 10 minutes to wipe of my smudged eyeliner under my eyes. And it's actually not permanent. It lasts for about 5 years, so you aren't stuck with it the rest of your life like a tattoo.

I was thinking the same thing. My mother had her eyebrows done and it doesn't look good. I'd much rather have smooth legs forever!
