I’ve never wanted a tattoo, based on the fact that I’ve never loved anything enough to put it on my body forever. However, when I met permanent makeup artist Adriana Campbell my thoughts on marking myself eternally altered.
Adriana owns and operates her own practice, Permanent Makeup By Adriana Campbell, located in Arcadia. Adriana offers permanent makeup services for lips, eyes and eyebrows.
As a first time ink-recipient, I decided to start slow with eyeliner. Upon arrival I was understandably nervous. I was calmed when I sat in Adriana’s chair and she put soothing music on, lit some candles and applied a topical numbing ointment.
When Adriana began procedure, I was shocked; it felt like she was tracing my eye with a coarse makeup brush. It didn’t hurt! After awhile, the area grew a little sore, but it was totally bearable. At the end of the two-hour procedure, Adriana cleaned off the ointment, rinsed my eyes with saline solution and provided me with aftercare instructions - no makeup for three days and apply aloe ointment throughout the first few days. That's it!
My eyelids were a little tender for the rest of the first day but defiantly made a difference. The liner is not overly noticeable, but it makes my eyes pop. The second day, my eyes were a little puffy, but, by the third, my eyes were healed and looking great.
I go in for a touch-up in a week. On the second application, we will make the liner thicker; this procedure will also help the liner last.
I would highly recommend permanent makeup by Adriana; it’s affordable, saves time and money and looks fabulous.
Permanent Makeup By Adriana Campbell is located on 44th and Camelback Road in Defons Salon. To schedule an appointment with Adriana call 602-881-7248.
