There are many factors that affect your permanent makeup. Sun exposure is usually the most contributing factor in causing fading. Products you use on your face will affect the life of your permanent makeup. In addition, the color used on your brows will ultimately vary in the long term color you have. Lighter base colors in the brows will usually fade faster than the darker colors typically used for eyeliner.
Your permanent makeup technician should be educating you that your brows are likely to fade faster than other permanent makeup procedure areas.
I recommend you calling your technician to request a touch up. Many permanent makeup artists charge nominal rates for touch ups. Also, if you wait until the brows are completely faded, you may have to pay original prices instead of touch up fees. Permanent makeup procedures do require maintenance to keep them in great shape. It is time for a color boost. Good luck!
I don't think the procedure required any needles like your typical tattoos. Instead, a stencil was placed over her skin to follow the arch, and a permanent skin dye was applied.
The color has faded after a few years, but it still looks good. I think she likes it faded, since she can use eyebrow pencils and powders to create texture more similar to hair.
