Business Corner: Permanent make-up artist opens shop

Posted

LABELLE - Melinda Cornelison is a permanent makeup tattoo artist, who recently opened her studio in LaBelle. Permanent makeup includes microblading, lip blushing, and permanent eyeliner. It’s also called cosmetic tattoo or micropigmentation.

“Permanent makeup is a tattoo that can last up to 2 years if you take care of it properly,” explained Cornelison, “I personally have permanent makeup and love how it makes me look younger, and saves me time when getting ready. I wake up feeling great and on time to get out the door!”

The studio offers microblading, a procedure which involves hundreds of tiny strokes resulting in thicker and more shapely eyebrows. Microblading cuts into the skin in the area of your eyebrows and implants pigment into the cuts. The results can last 12-18 months, which is a big part of its appeal.

“What motivates me is looking forward to making other women feel beautiful. Being proud of their appearance and boosting their confidence,” said Cornelison. “How the customers react after they see the new them, when their eyes and smile lights up!”

The Always Purdy studio is open by appointment only, but she can often do same day appointments. She only needs about an hour to set up.

“What made me open this business up is I have been employed by UPS for 25 years, and looking for something new to do,” owner Melinda Cornelison said, “I’m looking forward to retirement with them because of my years of service, and to have this opportunity to provide this service for our community. Also, to be able to spend more time with family and friends.”

“I have lived in LaBelle all my life,” said Cornelison, “What I love about this town is, it’s small and everyone knows each other and we all help each other.”

The new shop also offers lip blushing, another permanent makeup option. By applying a cosmetic tattoo to the lips, lip blushing enhances and improves the shape of the lips, gives more definition and the illusion of fullness.

Cornelison said the shop is currently offering a special on lip blushing, and even though the offer expires February 28, 2021, she recommended prospective clients to look for future events and promotions on her Facebook page.
