Permanent lip makeup: TOP 5 customer requests

Permanent lip makeup is a popular procedure. But each client wants to see the result quite different, so the permanent makeup master must be able to use various techniques.

The PM of the lips can be completely imperceptible or, conversely, represented by a pronounced contour. The master can use various shading options that differ in color intensity and different pigment depths, or perform a dense paint over the entire surface of the lips.

The actions of the master during the lip PM procedure must fully correspond to the goals that the client wants to achieve: change the color of the lips and volume (visually increase or decrease), correct asymmetry or make the relief more pronounced. These or other various techniques chosen by the master will achieve a natural or decorative result.

TOP 5 customer requests

What most often brings clients to the PM salon and what do they want to achieve during the lip perm? The most common customer requests include:

• insufficient volume of the lips gives rise to a request to visually enlarge the lips;
• a shape that has changed with age leads to a desire to restore the former contour;
• natural or acquired asymmetry generates a request for the correction of such an aesthetic defect;
• loss of lip color forces the client to intensify the color;
• a separate category is represented by clients who, due to their professional activities, constantly have to “be in shape”, but do not want to face constant make-up updates.

Let's consider what techniques can be used to satisfy a particular request.

Giving visual volume and relief to the lips

Volumetric PM techniques (for example, 3D tattooing) are capable of giving visual volume, adding relief to the lips. In this case, the master can apply visual and tattoo techniques both separately and by combining them. A combination of several colors is allowed to apply color highlights, brighten some areas, draw a kayal over the upper lip or darken the skin under the lower one. When choosing a variant of the shape of the lips, the master must take into account the individual features of the structure of the facial bones and the proportions of the face and remember that it is impossible to create a universal shape of the lips that would suit any type of face.

Restoration of clarity of the contour of the lips

Lip contour tattooing is often used as an independent procedure to correct the “blurred” lip contour. Here, it is important for the master to choose the color of the pigment tone on tone or a little lighter, so as not to get the effect of “eaten” lipstick. If the client’s lips have their own cold tone, experts recommend performing the PM contour with a warm shade of pigment, while passing along the line of their own contour, without increasing .

Lip tattoo "contour with shading" also helps in restoring the contour. This kind of PM can be made in various versions and the masters demonstrate a flexible approach to contouring with shading. It is possible to create a clear, bright outline and a less saturated feather or an intentionally fuzzy tone-on-tone outline with a feather color.

A very interesting effect is achieved as a result of using a contour color that contrasts with the shading. And the feathering itself can be done with a gradient effect or deliberately not include certain areas of the red border.

The full filling of the red border suggests a dense tint that imitates a persistent matte lipstick, but it can also be light, with the effect of lips uniformly colored with translucent lipstick. If the master wants to achieve the effect of natural make-up, the natural shape of the lips should hardly be changed. If the client's request is to change the shape, then the master must remember that changes with the help of PM will be the more noticeable, the clearer the natural contour and relief of the lips.

Lip color restoration

When requesting a client to restore the natural color of the lips, which loses saturation with age, masters often resort to the “watercolor” technique. At the same time, the color of the pigment is selected as close to natural as possible, and the contour is made in such a way that it is invisible to others.

Anti - aging effect

The perioral region is a prominent marker of aging. The most obvious signs of aging in this area include drooping corners of the mouth, a decrease in the volume of the upper lip, discoloration of the lips or a blue appearance in the shade of the lips. In order to enhance the effect of rejuvenation, the master can use special corrective pigments to lighten the darkening in the corners of the lips, work out the bottom of wrinkles above the upper lip, apply light kajal in certain areas above the upper and under the lower lip.

When creating a sketch of the lips, we recommend using the recommendations of experienced micropigmentation specialists and makeup artists. So, long lips and pointed corners will suit the owners of a round face, and with an elongated face it is better to use rounded options. For a square face, the voluminous shape of the lips is more suitable, and for a triangular one, enhanced by a pronounced chin, visually enlarge the lower lip to level the chin. In the case of a pointed tip of the nose, it is advisable not to place the corners of the bow of the lips at a great distance from each other. To correct the drooping corners of the lips, it is best to lift the highest points of the upper lip.

When solving the aesthetic problems of clients, the main thing for the master is to take into account how the future lip contour will behave in facial expressions. Check the sketch while talking, ask the client to smile. Only then will you be sure of the most natural result of the procedure.
