Permanent makeup has become natural-looking. It improves someone’s natural beauty and enhances one’s confidence.
Lip blushing, for instance, is not a tattoo. Tattoos use ink, while lip blushing uses pigment. The process is somewhat similar, but the result is wildly different.
As the popularity of lip filler has died down, lip blushing is exploding, but many people still don’t really understand it.
Lip blushing is semi-permanent makeup. A licensed technician will work with you to pick the shade you want. This technique enhances your lip color, refines the shape, and evens out tone while giving you the appearance of fuller lips. This can be pricey and can run you up to 1k per appointment. But, it usually only takes one appointment and touch-up to get your ideal look.
The process is similar to that of a tattoo. A small needle deposits pigment in the lips. The end result, once healed, should last from one to three years, depending on the person and their follow-up care. Things like too much sun, smoking, oily skin, or exfoliating can cause fading.
Now, the actual process can be painful. Your lips are one of the most sensitive areas of your body. Most technicians will numb the area topically before beginning. During this, they will outline the lips and create the shape.
Once the numbing kicks in, some people don’t feel anything while others feel what they describe as tiny scratches. It is essential not to take a pain reliever beforehand as they can cause blood thinning, but afterwards, Tylenol is okay.
The procedure itself can take up to an hour, and when you look at yourself in the mirror, you will likely be shocked. Your lips will be swollen, and the color will be about 60% darker and brighter than what you asked for. Try not to freak out, though. Read More…
