When improperly applied, makeup can have a harsh and unsettling effect on its onlookers, much like Richard Nixon's portrayal of Hamlet. Go easy on the eyes with today's Groupon: for $199, you get one area of permanent makeup from Ashley Swain Permanent Makeup Centers (up to a $600 value), with locations in Weston, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach. This deal is valid on eyebrow, lip liner, or upper and/or lower eyeliner applications.

Ashley Swain and her crew of professional technicians help empty faces renew themselves with a variety of permanent-makeup services in a relaxing, spa-like environment. Eyebrows that have abandoned their above-the-eye homes for Cozumel vacation resorts are replaced via gentle hair-stroke simulations, obviating the need for eyebrow pencils or costly caterpillar rentals. Frame lips with something other than ketchup smears with permanent lip liner, which offers natural definition without a constant supply of lip gloss. Pigment applied during the approximately two-hour procedure fades over six to eight weeks, so Ashley Swain's team will perform touchups to get mouth gates back their preferred luster. The upper and/or lower eyeliner application creates the appearance of a tiny eyelash army, available in smudged, bold, or understated raccoon.

All treatments include a detailed face mapping, in which a member of the medical staff determines the proper shape, form, coloring, and skin real estate of the face enhancers. For client comfort, procedures are aided by a numbing anesthetic and are performed with the Nouveau Contour Med Digital 1000 device, an accuracy-improving, irritation-reducing, makeup-making machine. Each refreshing treatment also includes touchups and a second renewing visit for an additional layer of color.
