Today, tattooing for representatives of the older generation is not just a means of decoration, but a real correction of imperfections caused by natural aging processes.

The desire of a woman to look beautiful all the time throughout her life, however, with the onset of an elegant age, maintaining the desired beauty becomes a little more difficult. Biological changes in the body inevitably affect the appearance: the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity, the natural pigment of the lips begins to disappear, the upper eyelid descends to the line of ciliary growth.
Of course, tattooing is not able to completely replace the use of anti-aging creams and cosmetic procedures aimed at maintaining skin tone, however, it can really qualitatively prolong the look of youth on the client's face.

Most often, clients of elegant age turn to permanent makeup masters with precisely these problems - the disappearance of the lip contour, a change in the shape of the eyebrows and the drooping of the upper eyelid. Fortunately, all this can be leveled with the help of permanent makeup correction, because with its help you can even achieve a lifting effect.

As we already wrote in one of the articles, age-related permanent makeup has its own characteristics and nuances:

  • with age, the skin becomes thinner, due to which the injected pigment looks brighter than the same amount applied on young skin - keep this in mind when working with older clients;
  • do not use clear and bright lines when working with clients of elegant age - this technique will only emphasize the asymmetry of the face that manifests itself in the aging process.
  • give preference to smooth transitions and natural shades.

Features of age-related lip tattoo

Lip tattooing is a popular and demanded procedure, including among ladies of elegant age. And this is not surprising - by the age of fifty, age-related changes affecting the skin of the face are becoming more and more pronounced: the color of the lips fades (the former freshness and brightness of colors are replaced by a cold bluish tint), the contour is blurred and the corners fall, asymmetry and wrinkles appear.

Lips are a kind of indicator of youth and health. Returning freshness and beauty to the smile, micropigmentation visually refreshes, thereby providing a rejuvenating effect.

Lip permanent in adulthood has its own nuances and requires special care and professionalism of the master. First of all, the terms of recovery and the reaction of the body to tattooing are specific. Loss of skin elasticity, dryness and thinness cause rather severe swelling after the procedure (the swelling disappears completely within 2-3 days and should not disturb the client). Full rehabilitation takes a month. The correction procedure, if necessary, is carried out not earlier than in a month and a half.

We should not forget that with age, the color of the lips changes, they become less bright. When carrying out the procedure of lip micropigmentation, it is necessary to avoid cold tones that can emphasize age-related blueness, preference is given to warm tones and colors close to natural. This will help to remove the natural bluish tint of the lips, which occurs due to the close location of the vessels to the surface, which appears in the form of thinning of the skin on the lips.

The thin skin of the lips gives a brighter and richer pigmentation, so the master must carefully control the intensity of the shade.

Permanent lip makeup is best done using soft shading technique.

Avoid creating unnaturalness, as it looks comical on age models. For lips, it is preferable to create a small volume.

Eyelid tattoo

Consider the procedure of tattooing the eyelids. The inter-eyelash margin is very narrow, but a specialist in the field of permanent makeup has a great opportunity within just 1.5 - 2.5 millimeters to change the shape of the eyes as naturally, beautifully and imperceptibly as possible, to make the look more expressive.

Due to the loss of elasticity and turgor, the upper eyelid often falls on the lash line. In this case, it makes no sense to make a clear eyeliner line for the client. Give preference to an eyeliner with a feathering effect. This technique will visually make the look more open.

Typically, eyeliner is done in gray or black-brown. It is also possible to make a feathering effect (shadow effect). The shading looks very gentle, natural, and for an aged lady who has done such permanent makeup, there will be no unnecessary questions about clear lines and bright makeup. Also, a specialist can highlight some areas of the eyelids. And in this way you can achieve the effect of lifting.

Eyebrow tattoo

Often, against the background of hormonal changes, the hairs on the eyebrows stop growing or grow very poorly. The main task of the master is to return the eyebrows! Eyebrow tattoo for older women should be very delicate and as natural as possible!

From the point of view of a makeup artist, the eyebrows of ladies of elegant age should be very light and natural - no dense shading. It is better to use a light shadow, ideally - hairs. The shape of the eyebrows should be smooth, without angles, not wide, often more straight than for younger clients, as the frontal muscles pull the eyebrows high and facial expressions will create the necessary curve. After drawing the sketch, it is important to check how the eyebrows look with active facial expressions - chat with the client and observe how the eyebrows look when talking. Ladies of mature age do not need an emphasis on the eyebrows, they just want the eyebrows as they were before.

When choosing a color, remember that aging skin is colder. When choosing a pigment color, choose 1-2 tones lighter than you would like visually. Due to the greater production of melanin in adulthood, the color will be colder and darker than the initially selected one. For permanent eyebrow makeup, use the most natural colors.

If the client dyes the hair in a natural color, the eyebrow tone is selected as similar as possible. If the client dyes their hair with very bright colors (fiery red, blue-black), a dark blond or brown shade should be used for eyebrows, which is combined primarily with skin tone and eye color.

Mature skin care after PM

After the permanent makeup procedure, mature skin requires special attention. Due to the decrease in the natural ability to regenerate, care for the skin surfaces that have undergone PM is carried out until the healing itself. Dryness and peeling in clients of elegant age can last 1.5 - 2 months. During this time, emollients should be applied to the skin. It is possible to carry out make-up correction only after complete healing.

A woman after 50 years should not lose her brightness, as is commonly believed. A woman at this age should treat herself even more carefully and devote more time to her appearance. After all, you want to always remain beautiful and loved. And let tattooing be one of the ways to remain a beautiful woman at any age!
