Features of tattoo "lipstick effect."
Unlike other semi permanent makeup lips, the lipstick technique produces a homogeneous, uniform, saturated tone. The procedure creates the effect of dense indelible lipstick, which does not erase, does not smear, does not roll and does not dry lips.
This permanent makeup has several features:
filling the entire lip surface with pigment;
a wide contour and a dense blending inside;
use of pigment of one colour, primarily deep and saturated tones, but you can also take light or nude shades; the main thing is that the colour differs from the natural shade of the lips to imitate lipstick;
introduction of a large amount of colouring agent;
the high density of filling, maximum saturated colouring – if in other techniques small gaps will be invisible, in fondant tattoo, even a minimal loss of pigment is unacceptable.
Because of the high density of pigmentation, choosing excessively bright colours for tattooing is not recommended. Such a colour quickly gets boring, and hiding it under cosmetics is impossible. Therefore, it is better to limit yourself to a restrained range. But the final choice is always up to you.
Who is suitable for lip tattoo makeup?
As lip colour tattoo allows the use of any colour, from strikingly vibrant to subdued and natural, any woman can opt for it, regardless of age, lifestyle, or looks. The options are vast, whether you want to be the centre of attention with bright, sparkling shades or need a more muted colour for strict work dress codes. Both the tattoo artist and the client can discuss and decide. There are no limitations based on skin type or age.
When you can't do permanent lipstick effect: restrictions and contraindications
Any permanent lip color should not be done during pregnancy, exacerbating diseases or in poor health. Please do not do it at elevated body temperature and during menstruation.
If you take potent drugs, you must wait until the end of the course and only then go to the salon.
An important contraindication – blood clotting disorders. Because of them, the introduction of pigment can open bleeding, complicate the procedure, and cause infection and inflammation.
Do not make permanent fondant techniques in autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, AIDS, nervous system diseases and psyche.
A separate prohibition applies to any skin problems in the lip area, from allergies and dermatological diseases to herpes, various rashes and neoplasms.
A bit of colouring: choosing the perfect colour
When selecting the pigment colour for lip tattoo makeup with a fondant effect, the master is guided by the rules and colour type of appearance. The principle of choice is as follows:
Women with light hair, skin and eyes are suitable for pink, flesh-coloured and berry shades;
ladies with olive skin, green and dark eyes are suitable for warm colours – coral, beige, cocoa, carrot, warm shades of pink, amber, and red;
with dark hair, eye colour, and swarthy skin, bright saturated tones are recommended; cherry, burgundy, wine and dark red, crimson, fuchsia, red-brown, and cranberry are also suitable.
Despite the general recommendations, the choice of pigment shade in each case is made individually, based on the combined features of the client and, of course, her wishes.
Step-by-step description of the procedure
The main feature of fondant permanent lip tattoo colors is a large density of filling. The very technique of pigment introduction does not differ from other types of permanent makeup.
The procedure is performed in several stages:
consultation, selection of the shape and colour of the lips, coordination with the client;
cleaning, degreasing and disinfection of the working area;
sketching with a washable pencil – it is done to predict and evaluate the result, to correct it in advance and avoid mistakes, as well as to demonstrate to the girl in advance how her lips will look like;
application of anaesthesia: lips are one of the most sensitive areas on the body; without anaesthesia, the procedure can be uncomfortable and even painful;
after the application of an anaesthetic gel or cream, the skin is numbed, and sensitivity is lost;
using a fine needle, a colouring pigment is injected into the upper layer of the skin to a depth of less than 1 mm;
by making micro-punctures and filling them with dye, the master gradually, step by step, changes the colour of the lips;
Considering the high density of filling required to create a fondant effect, thousands of micro-punctures are made in one session.
The application for the permanent takes about two hours. Anaesthesia is reapplied if necessary. The session is carried out on new devices, which guarantees the painlessness of the process and excellent results.
Aftercare and Healing Process
After pigment injection, the lips and the area around them look red and swollen. This is normal; after all, the skin was traumatised during the procedure, which cannot go away without a trace.
Swelling and discomfort may persist for the next day. On the second or third day, thin crusts are formed on the lips – another sign of successful healing. They should not be removed but will fall off independently after a few days.
All symptoms disappear in a fortnight, after which you can return to everyday life. Complete skin healing occurs in a month and a half, depending on the characteristics of the body.
During recovery, especially in the first days, you can not use cosmetics, scrubs and alcohol-containing products. Cleanse the lips with chlorhexidine solution, gently blotting with cotton wool. It is undesirable to wet them so as not to wash out the pigment.
Be sure to lubricate the skin with healing ointment and moisturising cream regularly. Not superfluous will be anti-herpes medications.
A couple of weeks after applying, the permanent should refrain from physical exertion and activity, refuse water and bathing procedures, avoid the open sun and not tan in a solarium.
Correction of permanent makeup in the lipstick technique
The first few weeks after the salon, lips will look very bright, and the colour will be saturated. Do not be frightened by this; the full extent of the dye will manifest only after complete skin healing, by which time it will noticeably pale.
The recovery cycle after permanent makeup with a fondant effect takes about a month. During this period, the pigment is fixed in the skin and stabilised; the lips acquire a final appearance.
By this time,e skin remains about 60% of the pigment; you can assess the result and make a correction – to fill places where the dye is not retained, correct the colour, make it brighter or more saturated, and correct the contour.
Correction not only corrects the defects but also prolongs the life of the permanent from a few months to a couple of years without a renewal procedure. Lip care after correction is similar to maintenance after the initial process.
