Lipstick: Love The Look, Hate The Work!
It was not near lunch yet and I was already reapplying my
lipstick. Usually, this was a mindless routine task, but on this
morning something snapped. I was all alone and thought to myself
in annoyance, "I wish I could just tattoo my lips a natural
color and be done with it." The thought was completely foreign
to me and I took a second to consider the possibility.
"Interesting concept", I thought and then I forgot about it.
Tattoos of any kind were way out of my box and one on the lips
seemed unthinkable. Two days later, while casually thumbing
through a magazine, I discovered there was such a thing as
tattooed lipstick. It is called permanent makeup, cosmetic
tattoo, dermal pigmentation or micro-pigmentation. Now, after
years of freedom from applying lipstick, or practically any
makeup, I find it unthinkable to be without my cosmetic tattoos.
Beauty Is Not Pain
I expected a lot of pain when receiving permanent lip color. In
fact, it took me five years to muster up the nerve to do it.
Finally, while doing extensive training with a permanent makeup
practitioner, I decided to trust and put my face in her
competent hands. I liked that she is an artist, as I am and her
skills as a technician were being clearly and impressively
demonstrated to me. It went surprisingly well. For the most part
the topical anesthetic worked to block the discomfort, except
for small twinges. One especially sharp twinge of pain brought
tears to my eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it came. There
was no fumbling about, her hands moved efficiently and with an
instinct garnered from experience. For an hour or two afterwards
my lips felt hot, tender and huge, more than they looked.
Nevertheless, I got up from the chair and immediately went to a
fine restaurant with a friend, enjoyed myself and took care not
to order spicy food. The cosmetic tattoo procedure was simple
and caused no inconvenience.
Make Your Lips Look Their Best
There are different options for permanent lip color. The first
is a lip line; a single color in a crisp outline around the
mouth. The second is a lip shaper; a lip line that is softly
blended into the natural lip color. The third is full lip color.
The fourth is a combination of full lip color with a lip line or
shaper in a slightly darker or different color than the fill.
Most lip colors can be achieved, but a good eye and the
effective application of basic color
theory is essential to
success. You will not get the brilliance of topical makeup
because permanent makeup is viewed through a veil of skin. Lip
balm or gloss will give permanent lip color a lipstick-like
sheen. One with sunscreen is always recommended.
The Best Kept Secrets About Permanent Lip Color
The first secret is augmentation. Cosmetic tattoos can create
any number of effects on the face. When applying permanent lip
color you make small, crisp and precise adjustments in shape
that can create symmetry. You can also make lip curves more
sensuous, adjust the balance between the upper and lower lip,
make the mouth appear slightly larger or smaller, cover scars
and even give the lips a subtle upturn. The second secret is
based solely on my personal experience and that of some of my
clients. It concerns age lines that radiate out around the mouth
and tend to fill up with the lipstick you wear. Skillfully
applied pigment into the edge of the lips, called the vermilion
border, detracts from age lines and may stop or minimize
lipstick from bleeding. Granted, it is not often that I apply
lipstick, but when I do it stays put. A well-defined vermilion
border is not only youthful, but I have been told consistently
over the years that my age lines are not visible. I don't
believe people were just being nice. The lines are still there,
but visually the lips themselves dominate.
Cosmetic Surgery Considerations
What if you wish to address similar lip issues with medical
cosmetic procedures? If you choose to get any kind of lip
filler, then have permanent makeup done first so the lip shape
is clearly established. If you already have lip filler, let it
go away completely before having permanent makeup applied. If
you wish to treat age lines around the lips, treat them first
and then have permanent lip color added later. With these simple
tips you can get the most out of your lips and look your best.
