FDA Investigating Brand of Makeup Ink

The Food and Drug Administration warned consumers that it is investigating side effects, some serious, associated with a popular brand of “permanent makeup” ink used to perform cosmetic-like tattooing of lips and eyes.

The FDA said it has reports of more than 50 adverse reactions to certain shades of Premier Pigment brand ink, which is distributed nationwide.

The reactions include blistering, swelling, cracking and peeling skin around lips and eyes.
