Masking wrinkles, or Possibilities of permanent lip makeup

Permanent makeup is suitable for any woman at any age. The main thing is to choose the right color, shape, application technique. But if young girls are beautiful with all the color of their youth, then after the age of 40, when natural colors and contours fade, permanent makeup is most welcome. And if you take into account all the nuances and features of working with aging skin and know the intricacies of anti-age cosmetics, you can create real miracles.

Unfortunately, like any part of the human body, lips age. This process begins at the age of about 30, when small vertical wrinkles appear around the lips, called "purse-string", which violate the natural clear contour of the lips. This process is exacerbated if a woman smokes. In addition, the natural volume of the lower lip begins to disappear. But these are only the first signs of aging lips. The color in the corners of the lips and the volume on the upper and lower lip gradually disappear.

The natural desire of any woman is to return the original appearance of the lips or to correct their shape and color, since lips are one of the signs of a woman's sexual attractiveness. And here aesthetic medicine comes to the rescue, namely permanent makeup and fillers. By combining these two techniques, you can create the perfect lips that you dream about.

It is best to do permanent makeup first, as it lasts longer than hyaluronic acid filler. And the first is better to perform a procedure that is more durable.

Attention to color and shape

Before proceeding with the procedure, carefully collect an anamnesis. This is especially important if you will be using an anesthetic containing adrenaline, which constricts blood vessels and can cause palpitations and anxiety. When choosing an anesthetic for clients with cardiovascular problems, one must be very careful.

Very carefully you need to consider the choice of color and shape. With age, when the color of the natural red border becomes more faded and takes on a cold lilac tint, it is better to give preference to warm coral pink pigments. They will give juiciness and freshness to the lips, return them the color of youth. Often, ladies who go to a permanent makeup salon ask to make their lips brighter ... This is not always a good option. Excessively bright color may look incorrect. It is better to take a juicy, but transparent shade that will look like lip gloss and give visual volume. The technique of permanent lip makeup with the effect of 3D volume is also well suited in this case.

The shape must also be chosen very carefully, since large lips drawn far beyond the natural contour do not add beauty. Sometimes it is enough to restore the natural, but already lost over the years, volume.

Try to choose a sketch pencil that best matches the color of the final result. You can add additional volume to the upper lip and correct small purse-string wrinkles using white or light skin color. It can also be imitated with a white pencil. Carefully apply a white line above the upper contour, not reaching 0.5 cm to the corners of the lips. But on the lower lip, on the contrary, you can lighten the folds in the corners of the lips and thereby visually rejuvenate the face. Carefully blend the line to create the effect of highlights, not white spots.

Secrets of a successful procedure

Among the features of the procedure, the following should be noted. On the one hand, the contour of the lips should be clear and precise, on the other hand, it is desirable that it does not differ from the lips, does not look like a separate strip. It is best to use a 3 Liner or 3 soft liner needle for this. Many, probably, faced with the fact that it is difficult to make an even, clear contour in the presence of purse-string wrinkles. There is a little secret here: apply the fixing contour without stretching the lips, but only slightly fixing them. Since you will no longer see wrinkles when stretching the skin, and after the skin returns to its normal state, the contour may turn out to be “in an accordion”. After the first lines are applied, you can stretch the skin in a way that is convenient for you to work.

Given that the skin becomes thinner with age, the pressure on the typewriter in the work should be minimal so as not to get a dark color with a purple tint, especially in the contour area.

There is one more secret: choose a pigment for the contour a little lighter than for shading, then the line will be clear, and the contour will smoothly turn into the color of the lips.

For shading or dense painting of the red border, choose soft bunches of needles (like brushes) - 6 slope, 9 magnum and the like. Apply the pigment in thin transparent layers, overlapping one another. This technique allows the most uniform application of the pigment, without spots and unpainted areas. If desired, the pigment can be slightly diluted with a diluent (thinner) in a ratio of approximately 3:1.

Wrinkle masking

After finishing the main work, proceed to create a “white border” and brighten wrinkles. A 3 liner or 3 soft liner needle is also best for this. Choose a white pigment or light nude for dark skin and dilute it in half with diluent. Then draw a line over the upper contour, coming close to it and not reaching approximately 0.5 cm from the corners of the lips, as in the pencil drawing. And then blend upwards with spiral or stroke movements. In order to make wrinkles above the lip less noticeable, gently go over the bottom of the wrinkle with a thin stroke. Do not press the needle very hard, so as not to get white “breaks” above the lip. It is better to enhance the effect on the correction.

If it was decided to lighten the wrinkles in the corners of the lips, then for this it is better to take a wider needle, for example 5 magnum. And with light sweeping movements, apply the pigment diluted in the same way.

It is necessary to warn the client that initially light pigments will not be very noticeable, since the natural vascular reaction will give redness in the area of \u200b\u200bits application. The final result will be visible, as usual, in a month. After that, it is possible to make a correction and bring the result to the ideal.

Post-procedure care

Permanent makeup care must also be very thorough. It is necessary to wash the lip area with a disinfectant alcohol-free solution several times during the first day and apply a wound healing ointment, for example, Bepanten, in a thin layer during the day when dryness appears. Be sure to apply sunscreen hygienic lipstick when going outside. During the first week, it is desirable to exclude all steaming procedures (baths, saunas, solariums, swimming pools), and also not to remove the protective crust on your own.

After the work completely satisfies both the master and the client, it is possible to enhance the anti-age effect with a filler.
