SAN ANTONIO -- "Wake up with makeup" is a sales line often used by cosmetic artists on women who are searching for permanent makeup.The cosmetic craft involves tattooing color on the skin that creates the appearance of eyeliner, eye shadow or lipstick.But some San Antonio women who gave permanent makeup a try in hopes of beauty and convenience instead saw horror in the mirror.

"I just kept saying pain is beauty, beauty is pain, and 'Hail Mary,'" said Lydia Tse, who tried permanent makeup."I completely put my trust in her and she completely destroyed my face," said a woman who didn't want to be identified. "My eyebrows looked like blocks of a green, angry cartoon villain."The beauty blunder caused the woman's self-esteem to plummet, so she turned to permanent cosmetic artist John Shumate to undo the damage.
