What is permanent lip makeup
The technique of performing permanent makeup resembles a regular tattoo using similar machines and needles. But the pigment is introduced under the top layer of the skin, much closer to the surface. Thanks to this, the procedure is relatively painless even on such sensitive areas, and the result looks natural.

Reasons for bad effect
If you follow the rules, the result is neat and natural. But often women are dissatisfied with the work of the review specialist, for which there are many reasons:
- Bad job as a cosmetologist. This may be reflected in a change in the style of the drawing, uneven introduction of the coloring matter, poor contour drawing, and the presence of sharp transitions.
- Use of low-quality materials used. Most materials must be customized, so make sure that a specialist unpacks the machine needle in front of you. The quality of the pigment must be high in order for it to be applied correctly.
- Poor preparation before the session or failure to comply with contraindications. The client must carefully consider the state of the body before the visit.
- Improper care during rehabilitation of the epidermis.
Negative consequences according to reviews are focused on the listed problems, so you need to approach the described points carefully.
What happens to your lips
Nothing! Your own lips do not suffer in any way after the procedure if permanent makeup was done by a professional. The main thing is to follow all care recommendations and make timely corrections to maintain the results. The maximum that will happen is that the pigment will gradually fade over time.
Keep in mind that the most common consequence of permanent lip makeup is herpes. The skin is severely damaged, so any infections can easily get into it. You need to be prepared for this and take care of prevention in advance.

Flaws
The disadvantages of tattooing play an important role. The negative aspects of tattooing often affect the results or health of the client:
- Uneven tone. Due to improper care or the use of a low-quality dye by a specialist, pigment separation occurs, which leads to its rapid fading in some parts.
- Change of palette. If there is an error during the application of the design, or due to the brand of the dye, the final color may not match the one chosen at the beginning of the session. A common consequence is the formation of pink or blue tints that look unnatural.
- Changing the picture. There is no guarantee that a specialist will do the job correctly. The selected format may not coincide with the final result, so you should rely on reviews to choose a place for tattooing.
- Introduction of infection into the body. Through an open wound, a foreign body can enter the bloodstream, which will give rise to an infectious disease that affects many organs.
Knowing the disadvantages, you can prevent them, so before the session it is important to familiarize yourself with this list.
How to choose a color for permanent lip makeup
The color is always selected individually, because you need to take into account your own lip shade, skin tone, desired result and overall type. When carrying out the procedure, specialists combine several adjacent shades to make the result look as natural as possible.
Warm peach, apricot, salmon and beige shades are best suited for fair-haired, fair-skinned and light-eyed girls. Contrasting blondes and fair-haired women should pay attention to the same colors, but in cool tones. Dark hair and dark eyes suit more saturated red and even plum colors. And red and golden-blond people should pay attention to terracotta, brown, reddish and the same plum.

Duration of pain
After the anesthetic wears off, severe pain appears, making it difficult to eat and talk. You have to eat liquid foods. Food should not be hot or too cold. Compliance with this rule eliminates increased pain. Discomfort becomes less pronounced on the 3rd day. After 5 days, the pain gives way to itching, which is sometimes unbearable.
After the procedure, severe pain appears.
During the normal course of the healing process, the discomfort disappears after 7-10 days.
Permanent lip makeup techniques
There are many different techniques that an experienced master usually combines for specific tasks. Let's talk about the most popular of them!
Contour technique
The master draws a clear, neat outline if his own is blurry or uneven. The shade matches the tone of the lips, so the outline does not look drawn with a pencil. Very often, the procedure is preferred by older women due to characteristic age-related changes.

Feathering
Shading returns a bright and rich shade to the lips. The pigment is blended over the entire surface, from the contour or slightly beyond the boundaries. This is the best way to visually enlarge your lips, but you need to get the color perfectly.

Volumetric technology
The method is used if it is necessary to correct problems - asymmetry, lack of fullness, uneven contour. Usually the procedure is carried out in two stages: first, the master makes a contour and masks obvious imperfections, and the second time he fills everything with color.

Watercolor technique
In modern makeup, clear pencil lines are used less and less. The watercolor technique does not involve brightly defined boundaries, making the result look as natural as possible. And if you use muted shades, then no one in life will tell you that you have a lip tattoo!

Light kajal
An interesting technique involves applying light highlights, which makeup artists usually finish with a white pencil. As a result, lips appear more tender and plump. But this requires an ideal form from nature.

Permanent lipstick
This technique involves completely filling the lips with color so that they appear brightly colored. Suitable for those who cannot go out without their favorite lipstick. But you need to choose the color carefully, because it will be difficult to paint over bright lips.

What examinations are needed
A healthy person can limit himself to an initial appointment with a cosmetologist. In this case, no additional tests are prescribed. Chronic diseases often require consultation with other specialists. This reduces the likelihood of side effects.
If there are any health problems, the attending physician prescribes a series of examinations, which are selected individually for each patient. Based on their results, permission or a ban on tattooing is given.
Stages of permanent lip makeup
During the preparatory stage, prevention of herpes is definitely necessary, even for those girls who have never seen it in their lives. And in a couple of days, give up solarium, sunbathing, alcohol and any potential irritants.
During the procedure, the master will draw an outline, apply a sketch and select shades. You can use a pain reliever if you wish, but some professionals do not recommend it because your skin may react differently. First they do the contour, and only then the shading. On average, a session takes up to 3 hours, depending on the complexity and technique.

Question answer
There is no clear opinion on whether women can attend sessions during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the procedure involves the use of anesthetics that can have a negative effect on children.
It is better to sign up for the procedure in the middle of the menstrual cycle, but it is acceptable after its completion. But during menstruation it is not recommended to attend sessions.
There is a procedure similar to tattooing - lip microblading. It differs in that the punctures are minimal, pigment degradation does not occur, and the healing process is faster. The main disadvantage is the need for correction after a few weeks.
Lip care
After permanent lip makeup and until healing, you need to avoid sun, scrubs and other aggressive influences. You cannot use decorative cosmetics or touch your lips with your hands. For the first couple of days, it is better to stay at home and periodically wipe the damaged skin with chlorhexidine and lubricate it with healing ointment. Recommendations from experts may vary, because each situation is individual.

How do lips heal after tattooing?
The lips heal very quickly, but the result can be fully appreciated no earlier than in a month. The first days they seem too bright and swollen. By the third day, the swelling subsides and crusts begin to form. They should not be scratched, torn off or touched with hands - this will ruin the result. Usually the crusts finally disappear after about a week, and the color becomes paler.

Do permanent lip makeup need correction?
The first correction is made 1-1.5 months after the procedure, when the final result is already clearly visible. The master corrects minor defects, adjusts the shade, and takes into account wishes. In the future, corrections are made as the pigment fades, approximately once every 1-1.5 years. Repeated procedures are often easier, faster and cheaper if done on time!

Is it possible to remove permanent lip makeup?
It is possible to get rid of permanent makeup, but the process is very long. You will either have to wait for the pigment to fade on its own, or use laser removal. Laser is more effective, but several painful procedures will be required. Although there is a plus - it is usually easier to remove permanent on the lips than on other areas.

Contraindications to permanent makeup
Lip tattooing should not be done in case of acute inflammation, viral or fungal infections, or malignant tumors. Contraindications are epilepsy, some blood pathologies and a tendency to form keloid scars. It is better to postpone the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If in doubt, we recommend consulting with your doctor.
Keep in mind that the result of permanent makeup is not always predictable. Too much depends on the individual reaction of the skin, especially to pigments in red and pink shades. To at least make sure there is no allergy, they first do a small test!

Is it worth doing?
Beautiful lips are a woman’s dignity. Each woman makes her own choice about what she is willing to do for the sake of beauty. Permanent makeup allows you to feel confident and not reach for the mirror after drinking a cup of coffee or eating an apple.
Lip tattooing will add shine to pale lips, add volume to thin lips and correct uneven contours. In general, lip tattooing has many advantages:
- Look good no matter the weather or circumstances
- Save time and money on makeup
- Change the shape of your lips
However, before you decide on this procedure, be prepared to face some of its disadvantages:
- Expensive and painful tattoo removal
- Need for correction
- Unsuccessful results (distortion of shape, color, etc.)
- Healing
- Soreness

Master's choice
To get a good result after a tattoo without consequences, according to reviews, you should choose a good salon and a cosmetologist who will do the work for you.
To prevent consequences, three conditions must be met:
- Find out reviews from friends or acquaintances about where they got a tattoo, if possible. They can give you contacts to help you make a decision.
- Read reviews and comments about the specialist and cosmetology on third-party sites, so you can form an approximate opinion about the objects you choose. Reviews usually write about the resulting consequences, but it is better to read them not on the salon’s website, since reviews can be faked.
- Look at photos of the cosmetologist’s previous work to determine the quality of the design applied. You will be able to find out the master's ability to perform the style you want to choose.
Almost everything depends on the cosmetologist. If he correctly writes out the care instructions before and after the session and applies the tattoo correctly, the result will be natural, otherwise you will suffer consequences.
