Are you aware of any adverse effects of botox?

It's made from botulism for crying out loud. Its purpose is to paralyze facial muscles. Other than that I don't know.

Then again, I remember not long ago when Phen-Phen was the "wonder drug" of all time, and look how that turned out.

Of course, there's always Thalidimide.

I never have gotten the point of permanent makeup. It takes about 20 seconds to put on eyeliner, and maybe 10 seconds to put on lipstick. WTF?

Yeah, difficulty eating because every wait-person and grocery clerk runs from you in abject horror.

Imagine getting your eyes tattooed. Ugh! Because that's all it is, a tattoo.

Yuck! If you want to "wear" makeup, but are too darn lazy to put on eyeliner or lipstick every day, but then you you're willing to go and have your eyes and lips tattooed...well, that's just plain dumb!

I know women who have gotten permenant makeup & I know a woman who is a permenant makeup up ..?... artist. I would never guess that their makeup is tatooed on, it looks like just makeup, very natural. I would be the one in 100,000 who had the allergic reaction, so I would never do it.

The two celebrities I can name who have permanent makeup are Michael Jackson and Tammy Faye Bakker. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the procedure.

Older ladies are having it done because their hands shake as they apply eye makeup and their eyes water.
