Permanent Lip Color

Permanent lip color is also known as permanent lip tattooing or lip blush.  If you are unsure of the color do a small test into the lip in an inconspicuous area and let it heal for two weeks. At that time you will be able to see the actual color after it has faded.  You want to look at that color and say “that is what I want”.   Make sure you do the full lip, not just the lip line, as it appears your lipstick has worn off.  “Only” go outside the lip border to make an adjustment for a misshaped lip as seen in picture set #2.  Very often our lips are not symmetrical and a slight adjustment is needed. DO NOT GO FAR OUTSIDE THE LIPLINE TO MAKE YOUR LIPS LOOK BIGGER.  THE COLOR AND SKIN IS DIFFERENT THAN INSIDE THE LIP AND THE END RESULT DOWNSTREAM IS NOT GOOD.

Having permanent lip color on the entire lip makes your lips look fuller. After the first complete appointment of lip tattooing,  wait 6 weeks and then there is a touchup appointment. If you have ever had herpes or a cold sore on your lips, you must be on an oral anti-herpes medication. Your physician will help you with that.

Full lip color will brighten your whole face and enhance your best features all day and night. A natural appearance or more dramatic color can be achieved. You always have the option of putting on regular lipstick to keep up with the ever-changing trends. Always wear a sunscreen/sunblock to protect your work.

Lips Before Tattooing

After

Lips healed after 1 appt.
She wanted a very subtle color.
It is best not to try and define the lip line because the skin around the lip border is so uneven.
Softer is better in this case. She wants a little more color at next appt.
