This is something interesting I found on a Navy website about the uniform laws for Sailors:

Beginning Nov. 1, women are authorized cosmetic permanent makeup for eyebrows, eyeliner, lipstick and lip liner. The permanent makeup must be in good taste and blend naturally with the skin tone. Lipstick colors will be conservative and complement the Sailor. Still prohibited are exaggerated or faddish cosmetic styles. The NAVADMIN states permanent makeup is an elective medical procedure accomplished by qualified medical professionals to enhance Sailors' natural features. Sailors should carefully consider the risks and liabilities involved with the procedures and ensure they plan and research their options thoroughly. "Sailors should be very familiar with the extent of the procedure, the possibilities of side affects, the potential need for time off for recovery and having a reputable organization and facility conduct any procedures," said Drouillard. Guidelines for requesting the procedures and administrative guidance for Sailors will be published in an upcoming NAVADMIN before the Nov. 1 implementation date.
