Applying lipstick and touching it up throughout the day is a real chore for some of us.
But don’t worry, modern advancements have found a solution to almost every problem – including permanent lipstick! With Lip tattoo (also known as lip pigmentation), you can choose the shade and tone that best compliments your facial structure and colouring, to enhance the look of your lips for 24/7 perfection.
Getting your favourite shade of lipstick tattooed means one less task to do in a day. However, before deciding to go through with the process, it is essential to research thoroughly – and only put yourself in the hands of a lip tattoo expert.
WHAT IS LIP TATTOO, EXACTLY?
Lip tattoo is a great idea if you want to be ready and presentable at all times without any hassle. It involves the use of colour implantation. So, when you wake up each morning, your pout will be looking fresh and ready to face the day without any touch-ups required!
Lip pigmentation is an excellent investment, as it will result in appealing and beautiful looking lips. This procedure is a great way to enhance your lips and make them look fuller with a shade of colour that looks amazing on you. The shading and tinting is completely tailored to match your natural skin tone and to ensure your desired final look can be achieved.
WHY LIP COLOUR FADES OVER TIME
The lips are not skin like the rest of the face. The lips are a totally different tissue to the skin, they are blood and mucosa, which is why they will always lose more colour, regardless of which pigments are used. Lip colour is not static, it is constantly changing due to external stimulus and internal activities.
The lips are highly vascular and are made up mostly of membrane, muscle, nerve and blood supply. There are no hair follicles, no oil glands and they are constantly under assault from eating and drinking (think acidity) as well as climatic conditions like the sun and wind, or from everyday activities such as swimming in chlorine or salt water.
Hormones, liver toxicity, diabetes and other illnesses, as well as some medications or even cosmetics may have a bleaching effect on the lips.
WHAT LIP COLOUR WILL BEST SUIT YOUR SKIN TONE?
Finalising and tinting to achieve the desired shade of your lip tattoo can be tricky, and since it’ll last for a long time, you have to select the finest fit. To find the shade that looks perfect on you, you’ll have to define your skin tone.
Distinguish your Undertone
Examine the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they’re blue, the undertones are cooler and can have hints of pink and peach. Likewise, if they’re green, the undertones are warm, with yellow and green. You’re fortunate if your undertones are both blue and green, which is a neutral tone that means you can elegantly carry almost any shade.
Identify which Colours complement your Skin tone
Warm colours look wonderful with yellow undertones, and blue and purple colours look excellent with pink undertones.
Experiment Using the Trial and Error Method
Try out a few of your lipsticks and see which ones look best on you. Consider the colours in that lipstick. Are they cooler blues and pinks, warmer oranges and yellows, or bright shades of scarlet?
Narrowing Down Your Lip Shade
Now you’ve identified your skin tone and the shade to go for, warmer or cooler. Next in line is choosing the shade that you most definitely want to get implanted on your lips.
Peachy and nude gloss go well with pale skin, while deeper skin tones complement the fun and lighter lip shades for a high impact effect. Bright, and if they’re both blue and green, perky colours look mesmerising with olive skin like reds and yellows.
