This is a permanent makeup technique designed for those with naturally darker lips or cooler skin tones. This procedure corrects and neutralizes uneven lip color, typically for individuals with purple, blue, gray, or brown lips who desire a warmer red or pink tone.
Causes of Dark Lips:
- Natural pigmentation due to higher melanin levels.
- Environmental factors like sun exposure leading to hyperpigmentation.
- Lifestyle habits such as smoking, caffeine intake, and certain medications.
- Skin conditions like vitiligo, causing uneven skin tone and white spots.
Benefits of Dark Lips Neutralization:
- Achieves well-defined lips with harmonious contours.
- Enhances color for a natural, no-makeup look.
- Long-lasting results that don't fade easily.
- Improves lipstick application and color payoff.
- No need for pre-correcting lip color before applying lipstick.
The Procedure:
Consultation: Your artist will assess your skin tone, discuss any relevant health conditions, and help choose the best pigment colors.
Understanding how your skin heals is crucial, as it affects the final result.
First Session: The artist will neutralize cool tones using warm pigments, especially important for darker skin tones. The session may last over three hours, with pigments carefully injected to achieve the desired effect.
Second Session: In a follow-up session, targeted pigments, like pink or red, will be added to enhance the final color. The goal is a brighter, more even lip tone, though exact results depend on individual healing.
Third Session: Depending on on skin type, some clients may need a third session where additional targeted pigment will be added to achieve the desired result.
This technique is ideal for those looking to achieve a balanced, natural lip color and improve overall lip appearance.
