Permanent makeup and skin aging processes: features of age-related tattooing

Anti-aging tattooing is not just an appearance decoration, but a real correction of age-related skin changes caused by natural aging processes.

Biological changes occurring in the body also affect the appearance: the skin becomes thinner, its elasticity decreases; lips lose their natural pigment; the line of ciliary growth can be hidden by a lowered upper eyelid. Clients of elegant age often turn to PM masters precisely in order to restore the contour of the lips and the changed shape of the eyebrows, to visually correct the lowered upper eyelid.

But mature skin requires special attention, so age-related permanent makeup also has its own subtleties. When working, the master must take into account that the pigment introduced into the return skin will look brighter than in young skin, since the skin becomes thinner with age. The use of clear and bright lines on an aged face will only emphasize the asymmetry, which increases with aging. In this case, it is better to give preference to smooth transitions. The same applies to the choice of color - offer clients natural shades.

Features of age-related lip tattoo

Lips are considered a kind of indicator of youth and health. As already mentioned, by the age of 50, lips lose their natural pigment. This results in a loss of brightness and a bluish tint. In addition, the contour is blurred, natural asymmetry is enhanced, wrinkles appear. With the help of micropigmentation, you can visually refresh the perioral area, thereby providing a rejuvenating effect.

What are the nuances of age-related lip tattooing that every PM master should know? First of all, the client should be warned about the possible reaction of the body to pigmentation and the timing of skin recovery after the procedure. Dry and thin mature skin that has lost elasticity can cause quite a lot of swelling after the procedure (it takes 2-3 days for the swelling to completely disappear). Rehabilitation will take at least a month.

When carrying out the procedure, the masters must remember to avoid cold shades, which are even more able to emphasize the blueness that has appeared in the lips (this is caused by the manifestation of vessels located close to the surface due to thinning of the skin). It is better to choose a warm range and natural colors, while controlling the intensity of the pigment, as thin skin will give a richer pigment styling.

Of the techniques, it is preferable to use soft shading and watercolor effects.

Eyes and eyebrows: the nuances of tattooing

Loss of elasticity and turgor often leads to lowering of the upper eyelid on the lash line. In this case, it makes no sense to offer the client eyelid tattoo in the form of a clear line of eyeliner. It is better to make an arrow with shading, which will visually make the look more open. Shading can be supplemented by highlighting some areas of the eyelids. This technique will help achieve a lifting effect.

Hormonal age-related changes are often associated with the loss of eyebrow hairs - they stop growing at all or grow very poorly. “Returning” the eyebrows to the client, the master must carry out the tattooing of the eyebrows as delicately as possible and achieve the most natural result.

Experienced makeup artists, giving recommendations on anti-aging makeup, say that the eyebrows of ladies of elegant age should be very light and natural. And this means that there should not be any dense shading in the PM. It is better to use a light shadow, ideally - hairs.

No need to make a strong emphasis on the eyebrows. When working on a sketch, you should avoid corners - the shape of the eyebrow should be smooth, more straight than that of young clients. No need to make too wide eyebrows. After drawing, it is important to check the eyebrows in active facial expressions and see how they will look when talking.

As with lip tattoos, when choosing a color for PM eyebrows, one should not forget that aging skin is colder. The pigment should be chosen 1-2 tones lighter, because due to the greater production of melanin, the color will be darker and colder. You also need to use the most natural colors.

In conclusion, we add that tattooing is not able to completely replace cosmetic procedures, the use of care products aimed at maintaining skin tone. However, high-quality PM can really rejuvenate the face of an aging client.
