In practice, where we have not verified something about Permanent Makeup ourselves, we say so in plain words instead of quietly skipping it. As a rule, no write-up on Permanent Makeup goes out on the strength of one source; we want what happened after, not just before first.
How these articles are made
If a Permanent Makeup claim here cannot be traced to people who admit what they do not know, it does not go into print. On balance, the write-ups carry our name, so anything we would not tell a passer-by in person does not go past the draft. Our process is unglamorous: read, check by hand, cut whatever we cannot support.
- Honestly, a piece that has not been touched in two years is a primer we would not trust either.
- Permanent Makeup does not stand still, so neither do the breakdowns — meaningful updates are marked beside the date.
- For what it is worth, if a Permanent Makeup breakdown still says something we no longer believe, that is a bug — tell us and it changes as a standing habit.
- When something in Permanent Makeup changes, the affected pieces change with it — a few times a year, not eventually.
Updates
Put simply, the guides here get a second pass twice a year at minimum; nothing sits untouched for long. Realistically, older Permanent Makeup explainers get reviewed in batches each quarter, which is why the date you see means something here. On balance, rather than chase every shift in Permanent Makeup, we fold the ones that matter into existing walkthroughs, every season.
