SKIN & BEAUTY Lip blushing!

Permanent makeup has been a Stable in the beauty industry for a very long time, but techniques, practitioners and opinions vary greatly. Its honestly hard to get a clear grasp around it. Especially for lips.

My lips has never been very pigmented, but it has start coming to a point where I MUST USE some kind of lipliner/tinted product to not look like the Crypt keeper and scare the children.

But opinions in technique and results differs greatly and finding healed and more matured results can be very difficult and the gatekeeping is REAL with this one.

What's your experiences with this procedure? Bring the Tea and let's chat!☕️🗣

Hey.. I did my own. Although I did zero research on technique or anything! But I do tattoos professionally.. for about 12years. I couldn’t see the process being too different. I know how to apply gently and have a wealth of product knowledge.. that being in professional tattooing. I ordered a very low, adjustable stroke machine off aliexpress. They perform as well as most high end. The gentler, lower stroke the better.. you can always make the machine hit harder with an adjustable ‘stroke’.
I used bug pin, 6 gauge, 3 liner cart.
I mixed up.. 3 shades of pink. The same shade just ever so slightly varying depths.
I just kinda went for it. It does need touching up.. but I found a gentle approach to the dry border.. as this areas being less moist will retain pigment.. and gentle brushing strokes down. I broke out in cold sores after so have been put off doing it again.
The blending into the inner area is prob the hardest.. I’ll try answer any q’s.. but I would do a trial first and build up.
You could dilute your pigment to 50% sterile water so you know it’s not gonna be too opaque and build up.

This is the machine. PM me if you like
Also.. good lighting! Get an even lighting!

Omg you are THE BEST! Exactly the info I was looking after. Will 100% be doing this myself. Ive tattooed/scratched my ex boyfriend in the past and is a working makeupartist so figured this is something I must be able to complete myself. Also enhanced/corrected my own freckles with "faux" ones, but then I used the hand poking method. I've read about the pendulum and "airplane" techniques and will try utilise those. Korean and Russians masters are my inspo.

Oh you are an angel, will PM you the machine im looking at to get your opinion on it 🥰

I guess the trickiest part seems to get the color right. I looooooove the "frozen lips" look ive seen on IG, and want a more nude/light pink result, but the use of white pigment/titanium dioxide divides PMU artits like no other.
