Cheekbone correction: what a permanent makeup master needs to consider

A slight blush on the cheeks not only refreshes the face of a woman, but also makes her whole image sensual and sexy. Moreover, correctly applied blush visually changes the oval of the face, making it more harmonious, and favorably emphasizes the cheekbones. And thanks to the development of the modern beauty industry, women no longer need to apply contouring every morning - you can wake up with a gentle blush on your cheeks. Such a great opportunity gives permanent make-up of the cheekbones.

The main task of the permanent "blush effect" is the visual correction of the oval of the face, emphasizing its advantages and masking its shortcomings. In this case, the result should look natural - like a natural blush. In addition, the procedure allows you to somewhat balance excessive sebum secretion in oily skin: the effect of its temporary “drying” occurs due to slight microtrauma. To perform the procedure, the shading technique and local application anesthesia are used. The main advantage of permanent makeup of the cheekbones is the aesthetic design of the face for a fairly long time. At the same time, owners of oily skin will part with the “blush effect” faster than owners of normal and combination skin.

Blush and face shape

The form of applying permanent makeup on the cheekbones is primarily associated with the features of the shape of the client's face. A wide oval is considered to be a round and square face; elongated include an oval, rectangular, triangular, trapezoid and diamond-shaped face. A professionally performed procedure will help to correct the oval of the face, visually making it more oblong or, conversely, wider. To do this, it is important to accurately determine the shortcomings that need to be hidden, and the advantages that should be emphasized.

Blush tips

There are many recommendations for each face shape option. Here are some of them:

• a round face must be visually narrowed; for this, it is recommended to draw a pattern in the shape of a triangle;
• a square-shaped face must be softened by visually narrowing, which is facilitated by drawing a pattern in the shape of a triangle;
• a rectangular face should be expanded in the cheekbones to make it look a little more oval; for this, a drawing in the form of a horizontal eight is used;
• an elongated face is supposed to be visually shortened by expanding the cheekbones and balancing its proportions: apply a drawing in the form of a circle or use shading in a horizontal direction;
• a triangular face needs to be softened by balancing the wide upper part and the narrower and longer lower part, in this case drawing in the shape of a triangle will help;
• a trapezoidal face needs to be narrowed by adjusting the heavy lower zone, for which you apply a pattern in the shape of a triangle;
• a diamond-shaped face needs to be narrowed at the cheekbones to balance with a narrow forehead and chin - this shape requires drawing in the shape of a triangle.

It is also worth considering the following:

• to soften sharply defined cheekbones, shading color is applied along the cheekbones;
• to emphasize the cheekbones, the shading color is applied in the form of a semicircle under the cheekbones;
• to emphasize the cheekbones or give the face a more elongated shape, shading color is applied under the cheekbones, brightening - on the cheekbones.

Another important condition for achieving the desired result is the correct selection of the shade of the pigment. To achieve a softer shade, several colors are mixed from the existing palette - one of the light (necessarily warm) red range, the second - flesh colors. When choosing the main color of the pigment, it is necessary to take into account, first of all, the natural color of the skin. The lighter it is, the lighter the blush should be.

Features of care

After the procedure it is recommended:

• soothe the skin with a cooling compress;
• use an antiseptic cream;
• exclude the use of alcohol, spicy food, avoid direct sunlight, refrain from visiting the bath and pool for two to three weeks;
