Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Learn what permanent lipstick and lip liner are. Permanent makeup is basically just a tattoo. You select the shades that you want your lips to be and the tattoo artist applies the color using a tattoo coil machine. They may also use a rotary machine to apply the color or use a hand application method.

2. Find a permanent cosmetic professional to apply your permanent lipstick and lip liner. Use the same steps to select your permanent makeup technician as you would take to select a doctor.

3. Attend an initial consultation. During this consultation your technician will go over what is involved in applying permanent lipstick and lip liner. They will also discuss what your options are and you will finally be able to select colors and shapes.

4. Brace yourself for the application. At your next appointment you will have the first round of color treatments applied to your lips. Like any other tattoo procedure, several sessions may be necessary.

5. Return for a follow up appointment. At this appointment your permanent makeup technical will adjust the color saturation and shape of your permanent lipstick and lip liner.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that your permanent makeup technician uses brand new, sterile needles and that they wear latex gloves.
