Permanent lip makeup: with shading, enlargement effect, 3d, ombre, in watercolor technique, velvet lips. Before and after photos

Professional cosmetologists provide a variety of services for their clients. These include not only standard hair, face and body treatments. With the help of some techniques, you can easily quickly change your appearance for the better. One of the most requested services lately is permanent makeup for eyelids, eyebrows, and lips.

What is permanent lip makeup

This is the name of the procedure during which the master fills the upper layer of the skin of the lips with pigment, as a result of which the lips look as if they have been skillfully tinted with decorative cosmetics.

The paint is injected under the skin to a depth of 0.3-0.8 mm. This means that permanent makeup is less durable than a regular tattoo. After a while, the effect will completely disappear and, if desired, the procedure can be repeated.

What is required

The presence of permanent makeup, in the absence of contraindications, does not in any way affect the health and well-being of a woman and has an exclusively aesthetic function:

• lips become brighter;
• it is possible to slightly correct their shape;
• the contour becomes smoother;
• visually thin lips appear more voluminous.

In addition, knowing that a person is always in perfect order adds confidence.

Contraindications

Since the procedure is invasive, that is, it violates the integrity of the skin, it can only be used in relation to absolutely healthy people.

Permanent lip makeup is prohibited in the following cases:

• dermatological diseases;
• blood clotting disorders;
• exacerbation of the herpes virus;

  

• oncological diseases;
• tendency to form keloid scars;
• taking antibiotics or corticosteroids;
• AIDS virus.

If you have diabetes, epilepsy or abnormalities in the thyroid gland, you should consult your doctor about the possibility of performing permanent makeup.

Is it possible during pregnancy

It is not recommended to undergo the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In the process, painful sensations may occur, which can cause the tone of the uterus and worsen the condition of a woman carrying a child.

In addition, it was noticed that at this time the coloring pigment is removed from the body faster. This effect is also noted by women who are breastfeeding. Make-up can completely disappear after 3-4 months. Therefore, with its implementation, it is better to wait until the end of lactation.

Advantages and disadvantages of the method

Permanent makeup has the following benefits:

• the time spent on daily makeup is reduced. No need to use lipstick, contour pencil, or other lip products;
• lips acquire exactly the shade that the client wants to see;
• the procedure lasts no longer than 1.5-2 hours, and the effect of it, on average, is at least six months.

For the procedure to be performed efficiently, it is very important to seek the services of a qualified master. The end result will largely depend on the level of his professionalism.

When deciding on permanent makeup, you need to remember its disadvantages:

• there is always a minimal risk of getting an unexpected result. Individual incompatibility with the coloring pigment is possible, which cannot be predicted in advance. All the client can do is to make sure that the mother works with quality materials;
• if the rules for lip care are violated during the recovery period, complications may begin;
• because of the set stable lip color, it will be difficult to radically change the image when making up.

Before contacting a beauty salon, you need to carefully weigh all the pros and cons.

Does it hurt to stab

Permanent lip make-up is performed using a special professional tool, into which a thin needle is inserted. It injects pigment directly under the skin, so uncomfortable sensations are inevitable. Their severity depends on the client's pain threshold.

To avoid pain, the technician uses local anesthesia. During the procedure, the master is always interested in the client's feelings. With an increase in painful sensations, the dose of anesthetic may be increased.

To minimize discomfort, you need to try to relax. In no case should you drink alcohol. You can take a small dose of an herbal sedative. Most people tolerate the procedure well.

Types of permanent lip makeup: with contour

This is one of the most common techniques. It suits those who are absolutely satisfied with the shape of their lips.

Its main features:

• the master pays special attention to drawing the contour. For this, darker shades are used;
• the rest of the lip area is filled with a uniform color... It seems that a contour pencil was used to create the makeup.

It should be borne in mind that lips with clearly defined edges can visually add age to their owner. At the same time, the contouring technique is often chosen by middle-aged women. Their makeup looks impressive and expressive.

Also, such a tattoo allows you to cope with such a problem as a slight drooping of the corners of the lips. Most often, it manifests itself with age. With its elimination, the facial expression looks more benevolent.

Partial shading contour makeup

When performing contour makeup with partial shading, the following happens: the master outlines the borders of the lips, and makes a slight smooth transition to their natural color.

Features of the technique:

• 2 pigments are used in the work;
• since the lips are not completely filled, the recovery period is faster.

Experts advise such makeup for girls who do not want to focus primarily on their lips. They will look impressive, but will not distract all attention. It is important that the selected pigments are combined with each other, and the contour is not too dark.

With outline and full shading

Permanent lip makeup with hollow shading has the following features:

• the initial task of the master is to emphasize the contour of the lips, eliminating natural imperfections and achieving the ideal shape;
• after that, you need to make a smooth transition to the main color, which will fill the lips;
• the lightest shade is used in the center.

Thus, the makeup is as lively and natural as possible.The highlighted center of the lips gives the impression that the lips are tinted with a transparent gloss. This gives them a little volume.

With gradient ombre transition

This is one of the latest techniques, requiring a significant amount of time and a high level of specialist skill.

• With a vertical ombre, a light streak runs across both lips. On the right and left sides, the lips are filled with dark pigment. At the same time, a smooth transition between shades is carried out.
• With a horizontal ombre, the upper lip remains dark. The shade brightens as it goes to the lower edge of the lower lip. Or vice versa: the lower lip is filled with dark pigment, and the border of the upper lip is drawn as light as possible.
• It can be used from 2 to 5-6 shades, the main thing is that they look harmoniously with each other.

Gradient ombre makeup looks quite extravagant. Suitable for girls who are used to drawing attention to themselves.

Watercolor technique

Permanent makeup looks natural, but enhances the natural beauty and color of the lips.

Features of the watercolor technique:

• the pigment does not go beyond the natural contour of the lips, there is no goal to maximize the edges;
• several shades are used, which the master skillfully combines with each other;
• the paint is applied in layers, which is why the procedure takes a little longer than with other makeup techniques. You will have to spend about 2 hours in the salon.

It is recommended to use light, pearlescent, nude tones. This will make your lips look as gentle as possible. For watercolor permanent makeup, do not use bright, saturated, acidic shades. The technique is recommended for those who prioritize the ease and naturalness of their image.

Permanent lipstick

The technique is suitable for those who prefer to use lipstick with a dense texture in their makeup.

It is most similar to the full fill technique, but it has its own characteristics:

• the pigment is injected under the skin as tightly and deeply as possible;
• the shape of the lips is not corrected, their natural contour is completely repeated.

It should be borne in mind that when choosing a bright shade, it will be especially difficult to change the chosen image. Therefore, experts recommend giving preference to saturated, but at the same time close to natural shades.

The "permanent lipstick" technique is suitable for girls whose lips are moderately full. If they are narrow, it is better to choose something else for yourself, since such makeup tends to slightly conceal the natural volume, especially when choosing a dark shade.

In spraying technique

Permanent lip makeup, done in this way, creates the effect of velvet lips.

Its features:

• dull, natural shades are used;
• the coloring pigment is evenly distributed, with the result that the lips look evenly colored.

The spray technique is recommended for girls with an asymmetrical lip shape. Tattooing will help to correct it, to clearly define the edges of the lips, but at the same time make them not too conspicuous. Suitable for fans of makeup in calm, discreet colors.

3D super volume lips effect

This technique is considered one of the most difficult. For its high-quality implementation, a highly qualified master is required.

Here's what characterizes her:

• it is necessary to combine several actions at once: correct the shape of the lips, highlight and outline the contour, create the effect of additional volume;
• at least 3 shades are used in the work;
• in the center of the lips, the lightest pigments are used, which, as they approach the edges, smoothly flow into darker ones.

The most important nuance of the supervolume technique is that permanent makeup is performed not in one, but in several sessions. You will need to visit the salon from 2 to 4 times.

Full bleed

Permanent lip makeup in this technique is performed a little faster than in the others.

Its characteristic features:

• only one shade is used;
• there are no glare;
• the effect of additional volume is minimal.

The lips look well colored with matte lipstick. But, if the client wishes, the master can recreate the effect of natural shine.

How bright the makeup will turn out depends entirely on the shade chosen by the client. Full fill can be used by girls with any type of appearance, cold or warm. However, the technique is not recommended for too thin lips.

Lip Light Permanent Makeup

Lip Light is suitable for girls with perfect lip shape. Here's how makeup is done:

• a light line is drawn above the upper lip;
• using the game of several shades, the effect of wet lips is created;
• only light colors are used.

• a sketch is drawn on the lips and agreed with the client;
• anesthetic ointment is applied;
• color pigments are selected and mixed;

Features of creating Korean lip makeup

Some women are attracted to the idea of ​​doing Korean-style lip makeup.

To do this, you must observe the following rules:

• the most preferred shades are berry;
• Korean makeup is not characterized by clear contour lines. The color is shaded from the center towards the edges.

Lip makeup using this technique looks especially delicate and feminine.

The longevity of permanent makeup when correction is needed

Permanent makeup lasts from 6 to 10 months. During this time, the shade gradually becomes duller. Much depends on the individual characteristics of the client. For example, if the skin on your face is oily, the coloring pigment will come off faster.

Correction is necessary in two cases:

• if you need to slightly correct a fresh tattoo, add brightness to a shade or correct the shape. In this case, the correction is carried out immediately after the crusts have healed.
• If you need to renew a tattoo that has already faded. In this case, it becomes possible to choose a different shade or other technique.

As well as the first procedure, the correction is carried out using anesthesia.

Post-procedure care

It is very important to properly care for your lips after the procedure. The final result will largely depend on the quality of care.

The following rules must be observed:

• until the edema subsides, you need to wipe your lips with chlorhexidine or miramistin several times a day. You can only wash with cool boiled water. If you experience severe pain, you can drink a pain reliever.
• After crusting, the lips should be lubricated with a healing ointment 1-2 times a day. What exactly to use the drug, the master will tell you.
• It is categorically impossible to scratch your lips, remove crusts yourself, or contribute to their early falling off. At the site of the stripped area, rejection of the coloring pigment may occur.
• Until the tattoo is completely healed, you should not use cosmetic masks, scrubs, peels, decorative cosmetics for the lips and hygienic lipstick.

For 7-10 days after the procedure, you cannot visit the solarium, pool, sauna, expose your face to direct sunlight, or take alcohol. All of these can affect the process of pigment acceptance by the skin.

If within 5 days after the procedure, the swelling does not subside, the soreness in the lips increases, the body temperature rises, you should seek medical help. An infection may have entered the body. This can happen when the master violates sanitary and hygienic standards, if the work was performed with a non-sterile tool.

After the crusts have fallen off, the lip color may appear less vivid than desired. But over the next 2-3 weeks, the pigment will gradually become brighter. It is necessary to evaluate the final result of the wizard's work no earlier than in a month.

Is it possible to remove an unpleasant tattoo

You need to know that permanent makeup cannot be removed at home. The easiest way to get rid of it is to resort to laser removal. Laser beams painlessly destroy and remove the coloring pigment. A session lasts several minutes, depending on the situation, several sessions may be required.

With the help of laser removal, you can correct the asymmetrical shape of the lips or poorly chosen shade. The disadvantage of the procedure is its high cost.

Lips can also be treated with Remover - a special professional tool, the purpose of which is to remove persistent coloring pigments. You can buy Remover at retail outlets where professional cosmetics are sold.

There is no guarantee that Remover will effectively remove permanent makeup. It is possible that some part of the paint will remain in place and for the complete completion of the process it will not be possible to do without the use of laser beams. It should also be borne in mind that the product can dry out the lips a lot.

For the procedure of permanent lip makeup to be successful, you need to take care of finding a good salon in advance. The selection criteria should not be the remoteness of the salon from home or the low cost of services.

The best solution would be to view photos of the master's work before and after work. Many specialists take pictures of clients immediately after the tattoo, when the lips are still very bright and the swelling is clearly visible. From such pictures it is difficult to objectively assess how well the makeup is done. It would be much more informative to see a photo of already healed lips.
