Permanent Makeup for Lips Is It a Good Solution What Are the Options?

Lip permanent makeup is an excellent approach to achieving the look you’ve always desired for your lips without using surgery or fillers. Lip permanent makeup techniques define your lips without adding bulk or puffiness. Lip designs are created using a variety of pigments and cosmetic hues to complement every lip color. ANNA KARA specializes in permanent makeup lips for our clients.

About Lip Permanent Makeup Procedure

Lip Blush tattoos take about 2-3 hours to create from beginning to end. Numbing cream is given at the start of the appointment and is left on for around 20 minutes before the lip tattooing begins. After the numbing, your artist will draw the shape with a lip liner. Once the shape is drawn, they start tattooing.

The permanent makeup artist will use light shading to pass over the lips 2 or 3 times. Following the process, the lips are carefully washed and coated with a healing balm or moisturizer.

Does Lip Permanent Makeup Hurt?

Like most tattoo treatments such as PMU eyeliner, permanent makeup for lips might involve some discomfort, especially because the lips are a sensitive part of the body. Permanent makeup artists use numbing cream to reduce the pain. The artist then uses a computerized instrument and a single-use sterile nanoneedle to gently implant the pigment into the upper layer of skin. The process comprises thousands of microdots of pigment applied across the skin to create a layer of color and coverage.

This is where your PMU artist spends most of their time because it is a detailed, repetitive, and arduous procedure. The color grows as they add layers and tighten the pixels. After the color deposit, which can take up to an hour, your artist will wipe the lips and apply a thin film of a healing balm.

How Much Does Lip Permanent Makeup Cost?

Permanent makeup techniques often cost between $300 to $1,500 per procedure. The expense of permanent lip lining and brushing may be substantially greater because of the various layers required. Your total cost, however, will vary depending on what styles of permanent makeup for lips you require and locations (cities), your provider, and where you live. Therefore, you can also inquire with your microblading provider about financing and payment plans to offset your initial costs.

That said, when it comes to permanent makeup for lips, as with other minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, you get what you pay for. So be careful of anyone who offers a deal that appears too good to be true. It is not the time to take chances with a semi-permanent procedure.

What Are the Styles of Lip Permanent Makeup Available?

Here is the top permanent makeup for lips styles to pick from:

Lip Blush

Lip Blush is the most popular permanent lip coloring because it is slightly more subtle. It’s a technique for blending color into the lips with varying degrees of opacity, depending on your preference. It’s an adaptable treatment that can be done in various lip shading patterns and hues. The basic Lip Blush smoothly coats the entire lip in pigments. The shape is defined, but not as sharply as it would be with fuller lip color.

Full Lips

The most striking kind of permanent lips is complete lip color. It entails producing a lip liner-like outline and covering the whole surface of the lips with pigments to make them look like you’re wearing lipstick. It can be done in any color. However, because lips only keep a certain amount of pigment at a time, you’ll probably need 3-4 tattooing sessions to achieve the opaque appearance.

Dark Lip Neutralization

The full lip color is the most striking kind of permanent lips. It entails drawing a lip liner-like contour and covering the whole surface of the lips with pigments to make them look like you’re wearing lipstick. It can be done in any color, including the iconic red lip. The hitch is that you’ll probably need 3-4 sessions to attain the opaque effect because lips only keep a limited amount of color at a time.

The goal of the Dark Lip Neutralization procedure is making the lips as lighter as possible.

3D Lips

The 3D Lips attract attention with their volume and the design: the contour of the lips looks deeper with a darker shade and the middle of the lips is lighter in nude. The lips appear voluminous, juicy, and more attractive. The 3D Lips technique in permanent makeup allows for achieving the effect of glam evening makeup and still keeping the natural look.

What Does Lip Permanent Makeup Look Like Healed?

Lip Blush fades significantly throughout the healing process. Unfortunately, Lip Blush is the one PMU treatment that causes the most pigment loss as the skin closes up. This is well understood, and artists work with it in mind. You should be aware that your lips will not hold the color you have immediately after the treatment and that you will require at least two sessions to obtain the pigment saturation required to give you the color you desire.

So, be prepared for the artist to choose a darker pigment shade, and don’t worry – the color will lighten. Follow your aftercare routine to maximize retention; however, some pigment will be taken, and there isn’t much you can do about it.

How Does Lip Permanent Makeup Look Like After?

Lip permanent makeup is supposed to last longer than one year; however, because the lips are continually exposed to external factors such as sunlight, sweat, food, and drinks, the color might fade dramatically by this time. The fading rate is quite personal, and there’s no way to predict how long your lip tattoo will last. However, touch-up appointments can be used to renew it now and then. Even if the original color of your permanent lips fades, your lips will still appear enhanced. This is because they’re not going back to their pre-PMU color overnight.
