Permanent lip makeup

The main myth – and the fear of many – that the permanent remains for life, is only half true. Yes, you will remember going to the master. But the paint itself disappears from the lips within 3-5 years, because this is the most mobile part of the face, the epidermis is updated quickly. Therefore, you should not be afraid of the “stigma for life” – it simply does not exist.

What is permanent lip makeup

In fact, this is a tattoo on the lips for brightness and volume. Sounds ugly, but looks nice. And most importantly, it is painless – anesthesia is performed before the procedure. Whether it will be a cream or an injection of lidocaine into the gum (as in a dentist’s office), the client decides for herself.

What is the difference between permanent makeup and hyaluron? A permanent is a paint that feels lighter, although it does not perform useful functions (at least the biopolymer moisturizes the skin). It is applied with a tattoo machine, not a syringe. In general, the permanent changes the lips visually, and not from the inside. Although for the beauty and moisturizing of the lips, many girls successfully combine both procedures.

Prepare

Have you decided on permanent lip makeup? how is the procedure? It starts with preparation at home.

How is the permanent lip makeup procedure performed?

1. Discussion with the sketch master
2. Drawing “future” lips with a pen / cosmetic pencil
3. Carrying out anesthesia
4. Drawing the contour and further “work” with the lips

The most famous types of permanent lip make-up are: contour only (was popular in the 90s), full shading (“lipstick effect”, zero years), 3D-volume and watercolor technique (in trend now).

With the consent of the client, before and after photos are taken; permanent lip makeup in 1 day looks very bright, don’t be scared. But after 7-9 days, the pigment fades a little, and the skin acquires a pleasant shade.

Service price

It starts from 5 thousand rubles, then it depends on the conditions (you will have to pay extra for comfort in the clinic, unlike a tattoo parlor) and the master himself (beauticians with a name will cost more than beginners – this is understandable).

Where is held

In medical clinics (direction Aesthetic cosmetology), beauty salons and even tattoo studios. True, you need to be more careful with the latter: “under the guise” the master can use ordinary tattoo paint, this is harmful. A good pigment is based on glycerin and water, does not contain aluminum. If you decide on a tattoo studio, be interested in the origin of the jars, do not hesitate to demand certificates of specialist education.

With crusts, the hardest thing is: on the 5-6th day, the lips itch, scales fly. They contain pigment. To tear off the dried skin means to leave a bright spot on the lips.

Reviews of specialists about permanent lip makeup

Elena Timoshenko, cosmetologist, permanent makeup master:

I am very good with permanent. Because with age, our lips lose their bright color, if there were frequent herpes, the pigment falls out, the contour is fuzzy. As for young girls, they have thin light lips, you may not like this. Why not make it look natural?

Alina Shchepetova, permanent make-up master:

As a specialist and as a client, I have the same attitude towards permanent make-up of any zones, because I sincerely believe that almost every girl needs it – to varying degrees and with different effects. Specifically, the lip permanent solves many problems:

Accordingly, these problems are solved either by lipstick or permanent. In my opinion, you can not make a permanent of one thing, lips or eyebrows. If by nature there are no bright lips, then highlighting the eyebrows – we show even more that something is missing from below. The face becomes inharmonious. I am for an integrated approach. But everything has to be smart.
