Alopecia can be partial or total loss of hair.  It can be extremely upsetting for those who suffer from it. The condition can hit anyone at any time in their lives, although it is usually more prevalent in teenagers and young adults. No-one is quite sure exactly why it happens, although it’s thought to be related to the immune system attacking the body’s own tissues through shock, stress, viruses, infection, medicines and even sunlight. Whatever the cause, the fact is that when bald patches start to appear on a person’s head, eyebrows or eyelashes they can become confused and distressed and their confidence can take a dramatic dive.

For Alopecia patients having permanent natural looking eyebrows makes all the difference in their appearance. With brows a person with Alopecia can express himself/herself without words. Permanent Eyebrows when done properly will look natural and frame the face.

Always look for a well established experienced permanent makeup artist to get the best possible results. Working on someone with Alopecia is very different from other patients.   

Tracy’s outstanding knowledge and artistic skills ensures her clients look their best and gives back confidence so they can move forward with their lives – looking and feeling good.

Permanent Eyebrow Testimonial from Fran

“I looked really horrible without any eyebrows, even when wearing a wig. I was initially a little wary of getting them tattooed, but it was such a struggle to draw them on each day, and even then they would fade to nothing after a few hours. But when I met Tracy, I realised I had nothing to worry about. She is such a lovely lady, very kind but also very professional.  She made me feel really at ease throughout the whole process. I have just had my second top up of the eyebrows, and I am so pleased with the results! I absolutely love the shape, and a lot of my friends have commented on how nice they look.  People who do not know about my alopecia haven’t questioned them at all as they look so real.  I would recommend Tracy 100%; she spent about an hour agonising over the shape and position of the brows, and even went out of her way to ask other clients about hair pieces for me. I would recommend anyone with facial hair loss to get their eyebrows tattooed and to get some fake eyelashes as the difference it makes, both inside and out, is unbelievable.”

We knew that when Amy Childs opened her brand new beauty salon, The Amy Childs Salon (naturally) the uniform would be suitably body-con and glam.

And yep, we were right. Amy opened her latest business venture in Essex today dressed in a tight purple dress, patterned tights, diamante detailed shoes and a diamante choker.

Her hair was styled in its trademark backcombed curls, the false lashes were expertly applied and those cheekbones got to work as Amy beamed whilst she cut the ribbon and declared the salon ‘Open!’

Amy’s new reality TV show, ‘It’s All About Amy,’ will chart the run-up to the launch but for now we 110% need to book a vajazzle there, doyaknowwhatImean honey?

Good Luck Amy and dont forget to include permanent makeup as part of your treatment list!

Many of my clients ask for permanent makeup lips to enhance the contour, simulate more volume and add some beautiful colour to give a new refreshed lip colour.  This is absolutely possible with permanent makeup and can be carried out at any of my permanent makeup clinics in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, London. See my natural lip photos on www.tracyfensome.co.uk

Permanent makeup clinic dates for 2012 will be published on here soon and look out for the permanent makeup voucher saving at some of my clinics.

For now I will leave you to read on the Woman with the biggest pout!

Meet Kristina Rei, the woman who now has the world’s biggest lips.

She’s only 22 and has spent £4,000 on lip injections in the hopes of resembling her favourite film heroine, Jessica Rabbit.

The nail technician from St. Petersburg, Russia was convinced her thin lips were ugly, so she opted to get a lip job – 100 of them – and aims to make her enormous pout even bigger!

Left: Kristina before. Right: After her injections. Photo Barcoft.

Speaking about her plump pout, Rei said: “I think I look fantastic and it makes me happy. Sometimes strangers shout names at me in the street “like big lips” but I don’t care. I want to go more extreme. I want to look like a cartoon character.”

She added: “I am addicted to it – I love it.”

Rei has wanted her lips enhanced since she was four years old, and says she was always insecure about her appearance – and childhood teasing didn’t help her confidence. Russian TV adverts that promote cosmetic surgery are common, she said, giving her the idea at a very young age.

She got her first injection at 17, and hasn’t looked back. Rei can eat, speak and kiss the same way she did before and says she hasn’t suffered any painful after-effects.

She said: “Other than the way I look, my lips haven’t had a big impact on my life, so I’m definitely not going to stop now.”

Consultant plastic surgeon Dr Yannis Alexandrides of 111 Harley St. told Yahoo! Lifestyle: “Kristina’s obsession with the lip injections means she may suffer from body dysmorphia and this would not make her a good candidate for more cosmetic enhancement.”

He believes she maybe concerned with society’s perception of beauty he said: “People associate very thin lips with ageing and full lips with youth and trustworthy qualities.”

Dr Alexandrides added: “In the long run her injections are not good and go against good aesthetics.”

The beauty addict plans to have more injections as she feels her lips are “definitely too small at the moment.”

She said: “My big lips have helped boost my confidence. Even my parents are happy for me. They really don’t care about my appearance. Some of my friends have told me I shouldn’t go any bigger but I’m not satisfied yet.”

Beyond her lips Rei hopes to have even more cosmetic work done in the future, including a boob and nose job and pointed ears “like an elf.”

We look forward to seeing you at any of our permanent makeup venues.

Permanent Makeup is for everyone. For women and men, young (18 years plus), mature and senior people. We all have our reasons for wanting permanent makeup brows, permanent eyeliner and great looking lips but we also have those doubts or reasons why we shouldn’t have the procedure.  I hear this particularly from women of a senior age. Here are just a few of the questions that I get asked by my 60 year plus clients:
• Am I being too vain at my age to have permanent makeup brows?
• Am I too old to actually go through the procedure?
• Is my skin too old to have beautiful permanent lips?
• Perhaps I should just spend the money on family and those lovely grandchildren of mine?
• Although I would love to have my brows back, I think I would look younger, what do you think Tracy? Sound familiar my lovely ladies?

My answers are simply -

Do you look after your hair, have it coloured?
Do you like having your nails look neat and pretty?
Do you still wear makeup – perhaps you have a favourite lipstick?
Do you like to go shopping for clothes and enjoy looking good in that new outfit?
The answer I hear back is ‘Tracy YES of course I do’
Then why should you not look great with perfectly applied permanent makeup? The age for permanent makeup is irrelevant (except in some cases of certain illness or medication).
It is your decision and if you feel it is going to improve your self-esteem and make you feel good inside and out then go for it.
So what can permanent makeup do for senior women? Lots and here they are:

Brows are anti-ageing – look years younger. Give symmetry and show those lovely features off
Eyeliner – accentuate your eye colour and give a refreshed look. Look less tired. Your friends will be asking if you have been on holiday!
Lips – redefine lost lip shape and re-pigment areas that have lost colour giving you a beautiful lip shape and smile. Daring or natural it’s yours choice!
Finally to show you that having permanent makeup brows at a senior age does not mean you will walk around with dark coloured brows, here is a lovely lady’s before and after photos of her recent brows.

If you wish to discuss any aspects of this article please feel free to call me. I am always here to answer all your questions.

Permanent cosmetic makeup procedures are carried out at clinics in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and London.

The images below may surprise a few of you, but these so-called celebrities are just like you or I first thing in the morning, honest. The images below show Fearne Cotton and Myleene Klass without their makeup from a photoshoot a few years back, minus the bed hair of course.

New mum and former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here contestant Myleene said she undertook the shoot because she enjoyed the novelty of it. ‘There’s enough pressure on women who see images that are so unattainable,’ the 30-year-old said. ‘But this is the skin we’re given. I’ve got a freckle and a lazy eye, and I don’t have much in the eyebrow department.

Obviously you haven’t tried Permanent Cosmetics, Myleene!

I’m often asked by clients whether I can provide [for example] eyebrows like Megan Fox or lips like Angelina Jolie, and I am always happy to provide what the client asks for, but take away their star status and how many of the celebrities below (the top ten most beautiful) would you say are truly beautiful or at least conform to your understanding of what makes someone beautiful?  I’d honestly like to know.

However,  there have been times where I have been looking for information concerning certain aspects of the beauty industry, and put simply, it just isn’t there.  And when you narrow it down further and search for information relating to the permanent cosmetics sector, you’re really looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thus begins my blog.  I can’t promise I’ll keep it updated daily, but whenever I have something of interest to post, you can be sure it’s going to appear here first, whether it be news, images, movies, in fact anything concerning permanent makeup.

Thanks for reading, please subscribe, and if you have any feedback please be gentle (I’m new to all this!).

Until next time..
