A few years ago she became aware of the hand method of applying permanent make-up. In 1997 and learned this technique, thinking that she would use either method for applying permanent make-up, depending on the situation. Laura and her clients were so pleased with the results of the hand method that it is now the only technique she uses.Permanent make-up applied by hand is soft and natural looking.Permanent make-up is an enhancement. At Advanced Cosmetic Techniques, I don't believe that most women want to wake up every morning looking like Cleopatra in full make-up. Women want to wake up giving the impression that they just naturally look good!You can always add on as much conventional make-up as you want for a more dramatic night-time look."I have always believed that anything you can do to make yourself look and feel better is well worth it. After all, it's not whether you win or lose -- it's how you look when you're playing the game!" ____________________________________________________________ _ TRAINING: As trained permanent make-up artists, Laura Sherwood brings with her years of experience in the beauty field.Laura Sherwood, recieved her cosmetology license in 1980, and began doing permanent make-up in 1987. As a former model, Laura understands the aesthetics of make-up. She now works full-time as a licensed permanent make-up artist, and her knowledge and creative ability are appearent by her skill in applying permanent make-up.Advanced Cosmetic Techniques is a member in good standing of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. All the permanent make-up hand tools are sterilized, pre-packaged and disposable. they do a patch test on each client before the procedure to make sure that the client is not allergic to the pigments. (Although they have never had a client react negatively to the mineral-based pigments that they use.) Both Laura and Linda are doctor supervised, as required by the State of Florida.~ Perfection and Professionalism ~At Advanced Cosmetic Techniques, Laura Sherwood uses only the hand (manual) method of creating permanent make-up. With this technique, a special cosmetic pigment is placed just below the surface of the skin by using a gentle etching motion. This method has been in existence for over 4,000 years, and is the same technique employed by Cleopatra in her quest for lasting beauty. ____________________________________________________________ _ PERMANENT EYEBROWS & EYELINEREyebrows done by hand with permanent make-up look like natural perfect eyebrows, not like eyebrow pencil.First I sit down with you and we choose a color together. I can then apply the color with a Q-tip and show you how it will look before we begin the procedure. Then, I numb the area with a topical anesthetic, and use an eyebrow pencil to draw in the shape of the eyebrow so you can see just how it will look. You may then make changes if need be, (for instance you might decide that you like the eyebrow a little thicker, or thinner, or extended out a little further.)When we get the exact shape you want, I will follow that outline exactly with the color you chose. There's no guessing involved in the way I do permanent make-up. You know before we start what color and what shape your eyebrows are going to be.Permanent eyeliner is placed in your eyelashes, making them appear thicker and accentuating your eyes. I can make it very subtle, so that it looks like you have a lot more eyelashes, or I can make it look like actual eyeliner. You have the choice of several shades such as...brown, black-brown, black, charcoal, or even the more exotic colors like green, navy or teal!_______________________________________________________ ______ PERMANENT LIP LINER & COLORWhen I do a permanent lip enhancement, I can do more than just line the lips like many permanent make-up artists do. I can line the lips and also add color to the entire lip, so you get both definition and soft color. It doesn't look like lipstick; it looks like your lips are just the prettiest color, well defined and beautifully shaped.First I sit down with you and we choose a color. I have a lot of gorgeous, natural looking lip colors. Like with the eyebrows, I can put the color on you with a Q-tip so you can see how it looks. Then, after numbing the lips with a topical anesthetic I take a lipliner pencil and draw the shape of your lips. There are a lot of things we can do with lips -- you can keep the shape they are, correct any asymmetry, or make them look a little fuller. Once I get the shape you want, I will follow that outline exactly with the color YOU chose.The way that I apply permanent make-up, you don't have to be worried about how it will look because you know before we start what color and what shape your lips will be.So, whether you choose to just line your lips or fill them in as well, your lips will be beautiful, soft and flawless, every moment of every day!***ONE HOUR TEETH WHITENING NOW AVAILABLE...ONLY $299!!!***
