What is the typical noticeable appearance of permanent make-up for the first 6-10 days?

  1. Lighter

  2. Darker

  3. Red and inflamed

  4. Swollen

The correct answer is: Lighter

During the initial healing process of permanent makeup application, it is common for the color to appear lighter than the intended shade. This is because the pigment is still in the process of settling into the skin and the outer layers are still healing and flaking off. As a result, the color may seem less intense until the skin is fully healed and the pigment has settled. This lighter appearance is expected during the first 6-10 days following the procedure.
