Lip Area Permanent Makeup

Even though lips are considered easier to make up than eyebrows or eyes, their appearance can be enhanced with semi-permanent tattooing. If you recognise at least one of the issues below, permanent lip makeup is the right solution for you:

  • You have an undefined contour.
  • Your lip is pale and you want a fresher look.
  • There’s a slight asymmetry you’d like to correct.
  • You don’t prefer to wear lipstick, but want a splash of colour.
  • You’ve had cosmetic lip augmentation and the contour is no longer visible.
  • You have pigmentation spots or cold undertones.

Semi-permanent tattooing in the lip area is performed using several techniques, with different intensities, tailored to the needs of each client.

I like to work with subtle techniques, using neutral colors, to enhance the appearance of the lips without betraying the secret of a tattoo.

Primer Lips

The most subtle technique, achieving a “no make-up make-up” effect. Corrects asymmetries, fills in gaps and evens out colour with the lining for a 100% natural look.

This technique is also suitable for men because of its naturalness. Suitable for all, especially for lovers of a natural appearance.

Aquarelle Lips

For those looking for a tinted effect on the lips, a light colour that also preserves the natural hue of the lips. The result is fresh and delicate, highlighting the natural beauty of your smile. Recommended especially for young individuals or those with pale lips. Just add a touch of lip balm, and your lips are juicy and fresh.

Lipstick Lips

For those who want a clear contour, dense colour and maximum pigment concentration. The end result has a lipstick effect on the lips, adding a distinctive and charming touch. If you can’t live without lipstick and wear makeup daily, this is the perfect choice for your lips.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The consultation is the essential first step before any permanent make-up procedure.

  • The first session consists of performing the procedure in the desired area(s).
  • The working time can vary between 1-3 hours depending on the area and complexity of the work.
  • It is important to note that the first session requires special caution due to the variability of pigment retention in the skin.
  • At the end of the procedure, the client is given instructions on how to care for the area during the healing process. The date and time of the touch-up is set (usually 1-1.5 months after the first session).

  • The touch-up is the second stage of permanent make-up and is just as important as the first procedure.
  • Adjustments are made to the color, intensity and shape depending on the result of the first session.
  • In some cases, especially when working with difficult skin, a second touch-up may also be necessary.
  • The final result can only be fully appreciated after both sessions have healed completely, 1-1.5 months after the touch-up.

  • Maintenance is done at the client's request, usually at 1–2 year intervals, depending on the rate of pigment fading and the client's lifestyle.
  • The duration of permanent makeup varies depending on such factors as skin type, pigments used, metabolism and lifestyle.

Approximate duration of permanent make-up:

  • Eyebrows: 2-4 years

It is important to note that results may vary depending on the person, and following the post-procedure instructions helps to achieve the best results.

  • It is recommended that you come to the procedure wearing your regular decorative makeup. This will give me a clearer understanding of what you want from your permanent makeup.
  • If you have had your eyebrows previously tattooed and are interested in a cover-up/re-work, you must inform and send a clear photo before booking your appointment. In some cases where the previous work is too dark, dense, or large, tattoo removal will be highly recommended before we begin the cover-up/re-work.
  • If you have recently had surgery or have a specific medical condition, please consult your doctor about the procedure.
  • Alcohol consumption 24 hours prior to the procedure is highly discouraged.
  • The use of narcotics, sedatives or anesthetic drugs is strictly prohibited.
  • Do not take medication such as blood thinners, Aspirin, Advil, Nurofen or Ibuprofen before the procedure.
  • Inform about any known allergies to substances.
  • Avoid drinking coffee, black tea or energy drinks.

  • Immediately after the procedure, the lips will be very saturated and will most likely be swollen. Don't worry, the inflammation will decrease in the next 2 hours.
  • The day after the procedure, the swelling will disappear, but the lips will turn a darker color. No reason to panic. Over the next two to three days, they will fade, and the color will lighten up by 50-60%.
  • After 4-5 days, the peeling process will be over. It's important not to rush the fall of the crusts by scratching or tearing the flakes, as gaps can form on the pigmented surface.
  • The complete healing process takes 6-8 weeks; during this period, the implanted pigment stabilizes in the tissue. During these weeks, you may find that the colored surface is not uniform, be patient for the whole healing cycle to be completed.
  • Whenever you feel dryness, apply moisturizing lip balm (lip balm should be new).

  • Eating hot or spicy food immediately after the procedure is not allowed.

In most cases, the procedure is relaxed and pain-free. However, some individuals may experience slight discomfort. Surely, any discomfort is typically manageable and not considered painful. In cases where needed or requested, a local anesthetic can be applied to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
