Permanent lip makeup

The fair sex, who love to paint their lips with lipstick every day, knows how difficult it is to keep their makeup in perfect condition all day long. You must always keep lipstick itself, a mirror, napkins on hand, and besides, you constantly have to worry about the appearance of the lips themselves. But all this can now remain in the past, because many beauty salons offer such a service as permanent lip makeup.

Permanent lip makeup is a long-term makeup. Today, experts distinguish several of its types, each of which will be discussed in more detail below. The main advantages of this type of make-up are the ability to choose the color and its intensity and the high level of pigment durability.

Often this procedure is called a tattoo. However, this term should not be taken literally. As a rule, lip tattooing completely disappears after three years. If necessary, it can be removed earlier with the help of laser correction.

In some cases, after performing such a tattoo, correction may be necessary, because, unfortunately, even the most experienced master cannot always say exactly how the pigment applied to thin skin in this area will behave. Some girls, who are satisfied with the result, also resort only to lip correction in the future, bypassing the full procedure of permanent makeup.

Depending on what end result you want to achieve, the master can offer you a choice of several varieties of such a procedure:

1. Lip liner. This variety is suitable if the client is not satisfied with the natural contour. The master selects a pigment that is as identical as possible to the natural pigment of the sponges. As a result, they become more expressive and defined. This technique can be either complete or partial.
2. The watercolor technique of such a long-term make-up allows you to create the most natural and natural make-up. this part of the face. When choosing this technique, the master takes into account several parameters at once, ranging from the intensity of the pigment to the depth of its introduction, due to which the ideal appearance of the lips is achieved. When choosing a watercolor technique, the contour of the lips does not stand out separately, so this makeup looks as natural and natural as possible. Watercolor is the choice of those who appreciate beauty and maximum naturalness.
3. Contour shading. This technique has two varieties: full or partial. Initially, the master outlines the contour with a persistent pigment, and then begins to shade it, thanks to this, a natural, light coloring of the lips is created.
4. Full tattoo or permanent lipstick. This option is ideal for those who like to use lipstick every day, but for some reason do not want to do it. When choosing this tattoo technique, a woman will be able to forget about the need to use lipstick for at least the next two years.
5. The technique of light kayala is also very remarkable and quite in demand today, often it is also called the tattoo effect 3D. In this case, the master applies a light pigment above the upper lip line, slightly protruding beyond it. A small amount of paint is applied to the very top of the lips. The result of the technique is plumper, more attractive and embossed lips.

An important role in choosing the final color of the dye is played by the natural skin tone in this area. It is worth knowing and remembering that the lighter the skin, the brighter and more intense the pigment on the lips will be, and vice versa - the darker and bluer the natural shade of the lips, the more pale the color will be in the end.

All masters subdivide their palettes with colors into two large groups - warm and cold shades. It is recommended to select a color in accordance with the natural color type of the skin. Girls with fair skin it is worth giving preference to warmer and calmer tones, but burning brunettes even very dark or too bright pigments can work.But such recommendations are mostly advisory in nature, and each woman can choose the pigment she likes on her own, depending on personal preferences.

When choosing the final pigment, one should not forget that a light color in case of an unsatisfactory result can always be covered with a darker one. But to correct a dark shade with color correction alone will not work.

To obtain a high-quality, beautiful, and most importantly, durable result, it is necessary to properly prepare for the upcoming procedure. The preparatory stage includes several simple, but rather important steps:

1. Prevention of herpes. This step is the most important and basic in the preparatory phase. After all, more than 80% of the total population of our country suffers from this disease, and after tattooing, herpes can actively manifest itself. Therefore, it is necessary to consult with a good specialist who can choose the most suitable antiviral drug.
2. If there are any damages on the surface of the skin in this area, for example, cracks or peeling, it is necessary to eliminate them. Moisturizing and healing ointments, as well as high quality hygienic lipsticks, should be used.
3. It is recommended to choose the time of the visit to the master so that in the next couple of days there is no need to leave the house and visit public places.
4. Be sure to take a cosmetic bag with you to the appointment with the master. This will help the professional assess your usual makeup colors, make it easier to choose a pigment, and also allow the specialist to help you slightly improve your usual look.

These simple steps will allow you to prepare for the upcoming procedure and tune in to the desired mood.

During a visit to the master, be prepared for the fact that the process itself takes quite a lot of time. Depending on the chosen technique, the procedure can last from one and a half to three hours.

• The preparatory step for such a long-term make-up is filling out a medical outpatient card. In it, the master must list all the materials he uses, as well as indicate whether the patient is allergic to any medications. Therefore, it is necessary to find out in advance if you have an allergic reaction, especially to anesthetics.
• Next, the specialist, using special markers, will draw the contour of the lips and shade them. This is necessary in order to show the client the final result of the work. At this stage, if something does not suit you, you should immediately inform the master about it. It will adjust the future shape of the lips, their volume and color intensity until you see the desired effect in the mirror.
• Since the procedure itself is quite painful, the master must apply local anesthesia. This can be rubbing in an anesthetic gel, spraying with an anesthetic effect, or an injection with an analgesic. It all depends on the type of tattoo chosen, as well as on the individual characteristics and preferences of the client.
• About half an hour after anesthesia, the master will proceed directly to the permanent makeup itself. To do this, a special device in the form of a ballpoint pen called a dermopigmentator will fill the selected pigment and begin to inject it into the skin, and, if necessary, further shade it.

Immediately after the procedure, it will be simply impossible to evaluate the actual result obtained. The fact is that for some time the mouth will still be slightly swollen, and the shade of the lips is far from true. It will be possible to fully evaluate the result only after a few days.

If you compare the appearance of the lips before and after the procedure, you can immediately see their increased volume, a brighter and more expressive color, as well as a pronounced relief.. Many girls note that they immediately appreciated the favorably changed contour. In order to evaluate the result and compare it with what it was before the procedure, it is recommended to take a close-up photo of the lips. So you can easily and clearly compare what you had before visiting a specialist and what happened after the procedure.

Previously, it has been repeatedly said that permanent makeup has a fairly long-term result. The deadline for its action is determined by the skill of the specialist, the quality of the ingredients used by him, the individual characteristics of the skin, and also depends on compliance with the recommendations for care after the procedure.

On average, the minimum durability of such makeup is about two years. The maximum time for maintaining the effect obtained is six years. But as practice shows, on average, the durability of such a tattoo is three and a half years.But even three years is enough to enjoy the result and decide on new changes in the image.

During the first few days after visiting the master, the skin exposed to the pigment needs special care.. Within a few hours after the end of the tattoo, the lips may be slightly swollen and reddened, but these problems should disappear after 5-8 hours. It is necessary to take care of the skin immediately, avoiding the appearance of any unpleasant sensations.

In the first 24 hours, drops of liquid may appear on the surface of the lips, they must be removed with a napkin with light brushing movements. Pre-cloth must be moistened with a small amount of chlorhexidine.

Then the skin will be covered with a rather dense crust, which cannot be removed from the skin on its own. With a strong feeling of tightness and dryness, the surface of such a crust can be lubricated with a special ointment., which should be recommended by the master performing the tattoo. Simultaneous healing of the surface of the epidermis and elimination of discomfort will occur.

During the first three days, severe frosts and winds should be avoided.and try to keep your lips in contact with water as little as possible. Liquids can only be drunk through a straw, avoiding very hot drinks.

In the next 14 days, you can not visit the pool, sauna or solarium. And if the procedure was performed in the summer, then for 21 days before going outside, it is necessary to apply a layer of sunscreen liberally on the lips.

On average, the surface of the lips completely heals and recovers after 30 days. after permanent make-up.

Sometimes, for some reason, it is necessary to remove the pigment from the skin. In this case, you can go two ways:

1. Contact the salon where the procedure itself was carried out. The master will assess the condition of the skin and prescribe laser therapy. It can last several sessions of 2-3 hours. Remember that it is much more difficult to remove the pigment than to bring it under the skin.
2. Use folk recipes and try to get rid of this type of makeup at home on your own. It is quite difficult to guarantee a positive desired effect in this case, but you can still try. To do this, the lips must be scrubbed daily for 2-3 minutes twice a day. It is better to give preference to products with small and soft exfoliating particles, or you can purchase a special oil in the cabin and use it according to the instructions.

Like any other cosmetic procedure, this one also has certain contraindications for performance:

1. Any hereditary disease.
2. Health problems of a vascular-cardiac nature.
3. The presence of AIDS, HIV and other serious viral diseases.
4. Epilepsy and diabetes.

The answer is definitely no! Any kind of permanent make-up, and especially the lips, is categorically contraindicated for women both carrying a child and breastfeeding. In these cases, it is impossible to predict the reaction of the organism of the mother and child to the pigments introduced under the skin, and the final result of makeup may differ significantly from the desired one.

In all other cases, the implementation of this procedure is quite possible.

Among the undeniable advantages of permanent makeup are the following:

• The duration of the effect.
• Safe composition of pigments.
• Wide color palette of shades.
• Possibility of choosing a specific execution technique.
• The ability to create both natural and bright and expressive lip tattoos.

But this procedure also has its drawbacks:

1. Possibility of a severe allergic reaction.
2. There is a possibility of obtaining the opposite of the desired result.
3. Difficulties in finding a truly experienced and qualified master.

The disadvantages can also be attributed to quite painful sensations during the procedure. It all depends on the individual characteristics of the organism. Someone does not feel pain at all during tattooing, while someone, on the contrary, complains that even anesthetic drugs do not help. Therefore, it is impossible to give a definite answer to this question.

Going to the master directly for the procedure, it is worth knowing about the consequences that may arise in the future.

The most common edema, it can be both small, almost imperceptible to others, and quite strong. In addition, an impartial crust will definitely appear on the lips, which will be removed on its own after a couple of days. Severe itching or burning may also occur.

If we talk about more serious consequences, then with regular abuse of this procedure lips can become too wrinkled, and their corners will begin to drop sharply visas.

If speak about pleasant "bonuses" of such a procedure, then they are as follows: more voluminous, expressive, smooth lips with a beautiful shadethat will delight you for at least two years.

Permanent lip makeup is not a cheap procedure. Its final cost directly depends on the professionalism of the master, the quality of the ingredients used, the makeup technique, the presence or absence of spraying or shading.

The reviews of women who have used this service vary significantly, and they depend on the professionalism of the master who performed the tattoo.

So, the fair sex, who fell into the hands of a good specialist, say that such a tattoo is worth the money, it saves a lot of time in the future, and the result is just wonderful.

Negative reviews mainly relate to the unprofessional work of the master, as well as getting the wrong shade of lips or their shape, which was originally promised.
