Permanent lip makeup: step by step

When you do a permanent lip makeup, you can use a contour, or try various variations of feathering. It can be done in two thirds or can completely cover the lip surface.You need to followyour the main goals: give brightness or lip enhancement, change the lip color, make a lip augmentation or vice versa. So, using different permanent makeup techniques can give lips a natural or decorative look.

First, find out: does your client want a bright or transparent/natural  lip color.

For the dense/bright/decorative  color, you need to use dense texture of a pigments, with a large fraction of the coloring material. Next step, you should exclude the colors that don’t match the client’s skin color, teeth, or pigmentation in the application area.

Skin colors

Now it’s time to determinethe desired color temperature in accordance with the lip color. If you are not sure about the right color, take a neutral shade, with a reddish-orange base. This will help you to avoid a possible bluishness in your finished work. You can never go wrong with coral color. Especially if you client wants a bigger lips.

Exclusive shade circles

There is another interesting technique: if lips have their own cold tone, use a warm contour with a warm shade. As a result, the lips will look younger and plump. Try to involve makeup techniques in permanent makeup. The lip contour should have a healthy lip color (red-brown), and it does not matter what the main lip color is used. And if you use a warm pink color, you can create “swollen lips” effect.

You should be very careful when choosing the right lip color for your client. You need to analyze the tendency of the color change after a full healing: the bright make-up will look provocative, the cold colors will turn into cyanine-violet shade, and the pearl effect make-up can be used only for clients with perfect lip shape and skin color.
