Permanent makeup pigment basics

Permanent makeup pigments are similar to tattoo inks, but not identical. Both are composed of a solvent (typically alcohol, glycerin, water, or witch hazel) that carries various organic or mineral pigments that provide that actual color. Permanent makeup pigments are not as densely saturated as tattoo inks, giving them a gentler color that is easier to match to skin tones. Additionally, permanent makeup pigment is applied only into the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. Their lighter composition as well as the shallower depth of their application means that permanent makeup pigments generally fade within 1–3 years depending on the specific procedure and client, whereas tattoo ink will stay in the skin forever.
