If fairy godmothers and genies from bottles and lamps were real, I would not ask them for a lavish ball gown or the ability to fly. I would want them to grant me the power to wake up with a full face of makeup every day before I head to work. I could use some extra time in the morning to catch up on sleep or enjoy my breakfast instead of drenching my lashes in mascara and asking myself why I have not tried getting eyelash extensions yet.
Thankfully, it is already 2021—a period that celebrates the thriving semi permanent makeup industry. Everyone can now get temporary brows with delicate hair-like strands and voluminous lashes you can bat at your crush. I recently tried these “short-lived” beautification treatments, and I will be honest—I did not expect their effects.
What Is Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Semi-permanent cosmetics are regimens that, much like makeup, enhance a woman’s natural beauty. But unlike brow pencils and mascaras, temporary beauty treatments can last between a couple of months to a few years, depending on the type and intensity of pigment and your skin condition. Semi-permanent makeup options include eyebrow embroidery, eyeliner tattoo, lip blushing, and eyelash extensions, among others.
Why Did I Get Semi-Permanent Makeup?
I am a woman who thinks makeup is essential for my day-to-day life. I cannot go to work, eat out with my family, hang out with friends, and run errands without filling in my brows and colouring my lips. If I did not decide to get the best eyelash extensions and brow microblading in Singapore, I would have probably gone through thousands of mascara bottles and eyebrow pencils as I grow older.
Since I cannot leave my house without makeup, I dedicate at least thirty minutes every morning to perfect my look. However, it sometimes takes me less than an hour to do my makeup, depending on the style I have in mind. Because of how long I take to put on some cream, draw a pair of brows, lengthen and curl my lashes, and bring colour to my lips, I always arrive at work later than my officemates. Since I always run late because of my makeup, I decided to try getting semi permanent eyebrows and eyelashes in a beauty studio in Singapore.
How Did I Get Semi-Permanent Makeup?
I will be genuinely transparent—I did not know where to start when I decided to get semi permanent makeup. There are plenty of beauty studios in Singapore that seem to offer the same thing, so I got overwhelmed about picking one that suits my needs and tastes. I also saw countless testimonials online about how their brow microblading and lash extensions experience went wrong, which almost made me turn back to using typical makeup items.
I shared these worries with a coworker slash close friend, who revealed that she has a sister who has been getting eyebrow embroidery in Singapore for two years now. She gushed about how realistic they looked and shared that she was planning to get one herself, too. I asked my coworker about the beauty studio that offered that regimen to her sister, which is how I met Dreamlash.
How Was My Semi-Permanent Makeup Experience?
After reaching out to Dreamlash, I decided to avail myself of their eyelash extensions services. I badly needed them since I pretty much have non-existent lashes. They are sparse and nearly invisible—if I see one of them fall off my lids, I instantly feel terrible. I went for a natural look that still looked like my eyelashes, but a hundred times longer, fuller, and generally better. With the technician’s numbing cream and my high pain tolerance, I can comfortably say that getting my lashes done did not cause discomfort.
A few weeks after my lash session, I went back to Dreamlash to have my brows done. My technician did not recommend having two sessions in one day to avoid irritation and allow my lashes to heal. Compared to the lash extension treatment, eyebrow embroidery in their Singapore studio was not a breeze. It was also not the most painful experience I had throughout my life. The numbing cream helped, but I still felt tiny ant bite-like jabs at the top of my face during my session.
Will I Recommend Semi-Permanent Makeup?
Without a doubt, I would recommend women of all ages to try semi permanent makeup—especially those from Dreamlash. Thanks to their expertise, I did not get severe reactions from my treatments, aside from people gushing over at my full brows and lashes. I am no longer spending half an hour every day to finish my look and I am now one of the first employees to arrive at work. I still cannot believe how a one-hour session of beautification gave me more free time every day, but I am thankful for it.
