Keep reading for the answers to our most frequently asked questions about permanent makeup.
Is permanent makeup the same thing as getting a tattoo?
No, permanent makeup is not the same as a tattoo. Both techniques use needles to push pigment into the skin; however, permanent cosmetic pigments don’t reach the same depth as tattoo ink. Also, the devices are quite different. Tattoo guns aren’t as delicate, meaning they can’t create fine strokes for natural-looking brows or safely add color to lips.
What are the different types of permanent makeup?
There are many different types of permanent makeup, but the most common ones you’ll find in Kansas City are microblading, permanent eyeliner, and permanent lip color. Each treatment can work by themselves or you can choose multiple treatments—it’s all about what you want

Can I customize my pigment shades?
Of course you can customize your pigment shades! No two faces are alike (unless you’re an identical twin), so not everyone will require the same colors. At AesthetiCare we have a wide variety of shades to create unique colors that consider your skin undertones, hair color, and the look you’re going for.

Does getting permanent makeup hurt?
For most people, getting permanent makeup doesn’t hurt at all. We always apply a local anesthetic with every treatment to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the process. You may feel some vibrations or a pricking sensation, but other than that, the pain shouldn’t be anything intolerable.
How long does permanent makeup last?
How long your permanent makeup will last depends on a few things such as:
- Age
- Aftercare
- Skincare products
- Sun exposure
- Skin type
- Medications
- Immune system
- And more
Since permanent makeup does fade over time, you will need to return to the office for touch up appointments.
For microblading: Every 12 to 18 months
For permanent eyeliner: Every 2 to 4 years
For permanent lip color: Every 1 to 2 years
