Permanent makeup can be divided into two general types: with or without a clear outline. The first option is suitable for people with even lips. Such a tattoo allows you to visually enlarge the lips, highlight their contour.

One of the new types of permanent tattooing. It consists in lightening the lips from the contour to the middle.

The technique allows you to obtain a delicate shade with soft pink or peach tints. Permanent shading is done in layers. Due to the lack of a clear contour, the lips look plump and voluminous.

When tattooing, the entire skin of the lips is filled with an even shade. Moreover, the color is most often chosen fondant, but not too bright. They choose deep, intense shades that will look appropriate in everyday life.

This technique is most often used by older women. Over time, the lips lose their former brightness, become pale. And the lipstick effect tattoo allows you to hide these changes.

The color of the paint is always chosen individually. It depends on the natural shade of the lips, skin, suitable type of makeup. During the procedure, several adjacent shades are often combined, which allows you to get as close to natural color as possible.

For girls with a light shade of skin and hair, delicate shades are suitable: pink, peach, beige. But blondes and girls with light brown hair and dark eyes should think about the same colors, but in a cold version.

For brunettes, saturated shades such as red or plum are suitable. But if the red color prevails in the hair, it is worth stopping at brown, plum or reddish shades.

The masters recommend taking more careful care of your lips within 7-10 days before the procedure:

• use soft scrubs;
• apply special creams and oils;
• do not forget about hygienic lipstick.

Before tattooing, be sure to follow the recommendations of the master. This will avoid unpleasant consequences, make the procedure pleasant and painless. The first step is to prevent herpes diseases.The skin of the lips is pierced with a needle and becomes an easy target for microbes.

The process of applying permanent makeup itself consists of several stages.

• The first step is to develop the layout of the future tattoo. The master applies the contour to the lips, selects the color and technique in accordance with the wishes of the client. The process begins only after mutual agreement of the parties.
• The smallest incisions are made on the skin along the contour of the lips, after which it is lubricated with anesthetic ointment or gel. Painkillers take effect after 15 minutes.
• The whole procedure usually takes about 3 hours. Some simple techniques take 40-60 minutes. But more complex ones, for example, 3D tattooing, can take several sessions.
• After the procedure, the client receives information about the required care. Correct adherence to all instructions will help keep your makeup permanent.
• Immediately after the tattoo, the lips swell and edema appears. It may not subside for two days, and in the first it can be very painful.

After applying tattooing until the moment of healing, you should avoid long exposure to the sun, the use of scrubs, exposure to aggressive substances. In no case should you use cosmetics on your lips or touch them with your hands. During the first days, it is recommended to go outside as rarely as possible, constantly treat the skin with chlorhexidine, lubricate with a special ointment.

Like regular tattoos, permanent makeup requires correction. The first is done 1-1.5 months after the procedure, when the result is fully visible. The wizard corrects the contour, color, corrects small defects. Further, the correction is done every 1-1.5 years. Such procedures are quick and painless, and are much cheaper. Timely correction allows you to preserve the result of permanent makeup for a long time.

Of course, the owner of the tattoo does the correction at will. But there are several reasons why it is required.

• Individual characteristics of metabolism. Sometimes the body rejects the introduced dye or actively fights with it. This does not happen very often, but in some women, up to 80% of the pigment is removed. Correction is done to bring back the color.
• Permanent make-up can last differently, depending on the type of skin. For example, on oily it can easily spread.
• Improper care can also compromise the integrity of the tattoo. For example, some women peel off the crust before it heals or do not use a healing ointment.
• The master himself can make a mistake. For example, after healing, you may notice gaps in color or different tones. Correction will remove flaws.

Permanent lip tattooing can replace surgery. It easily hides imperfections, signs of aging, and dull skin.

• Tattooing can hide too sharp edges of the upper lip or a large gap between them. A bright permanent with a clear outline is difficult to distinguish from a regular lipstick. And if you make a volumetric effect, the tattoo will be close to its natural thickness.

• Thin lips are also easy to hide under makeup. The contour can be extended beyond the natural and added volume. The same can be done with the upper or lower lip separately. For example, if one is thicker than the other.

• Full filling with permanent will suit girls who constantly use lipstick.The lips will have one shade. An excellent solution is applying a nude color. It will look beneficial both in everyday life and when applying evening make-up.

• To prevent lips from losing their natural color, it is worth doing a watercolor tattoo in pink shades. The result will be similar to the applied gloss.
