Understand Your Skin’s Undertone

Before diving into the spectrum of colors, identifying your skin's undertone is crucial. Skin undertones come in three types—cool, warm, or neutral—and they play a significant role in which lip shades will look best on you:

• Cool Undertones: You might notice blue or purple hues in your veins. Silver jewelry typically enhances your skin tone, and you may burn easily under the sun. Lip colors with blue or purple bases, like deep berries or cool mochas, will enhance your natural beauty.
• Warm Undertones: Your veins appear more green. Gold jewelry lights up your complexion, and you tan more easily than you burn. Warm shades such as peach, fiery red, and coral will complement your warm glow.
• Neutral Undertones: Both gold and silver jewelry suit you well, and your veins are a mix of blue and green. You have the versatility to choose almost any color, from understated nudes to striking reds.

But your Artist also will know the science behind the pigment choices and will mix the perfect combination specifically for you.

Reflect on Your Natural Lip Color

The natural pigment of your lips should guide you in choosing a permanent lip color that feels authentically you. If your lips are naturally light, a soft pink or peach can brighten your face. For those with richer natural pigments, a deeper shade like rose or wine can be incredibly flattering, enhancing your lips without overpowering them.

Lifestyle and Personality

Think about your daily life and how you express yourself through your makeup. Permanent lip color, while lasting, doesn't restrict you from experimenting with other lip colors. The beauty of lip blush is its ability to provide a perfect base that makes your lips look naturally tinted and healthy, allowing you to layer different lipsticks for various occasions without any hassle.

Emphasizing Natural Beauty: The Lip Blush Effect

Lip blush is designed to enhance—not mask—your natural lip color. This technique gives you fuller, more defined lips that look organically vibrant. The goal is to choose a shade that makes your lips look as though they are naturally that perfect color: subtle, yet stunning. It's about giving you that "just-bitten" look that lasts all day, every day. You can always layer your favorite lipsticks over your lip blush for more dramatic effects or different hues according to your mood or the occasion.

The Importance of a Professional Consultation

A thorough consultation with a skilled permanent makeup artist is vital. As an artist, I consider your facial features, skin tone, natural lip color, and personal preferences. This tailored approach ensures that we select a color that genuinely suits you, enhancing your natural beauty in the most flattering way. Feel free to bring examples of lip colors you love or aspire to emulate.

Enjoy the Journey

Selecting your permanent lip color is not just a beauty decision; it's a lifestyle enhancement. It promises you more freedom in your daily routine, cutting down the time spent on makeup and increasing moments of joy in your life. Embrace this journey with excitement, knowing that you are about to make your life both simpler and more beautiful.
