All masters subdivide their palettes with flowers into two large groups - warm and cold shades. It is recommended to select the color in accordance with the natural color type of the skin. Fair-skinned girls It is better to give preference to warmer and calmer tones, but hot brunette even very dark or too bright pigments may be suitable.

How do?
During a visit to the master, be prepared for the fact that the process itself takes quite a long time. Depending on the technique chosen, the procedure can last from one and a half to three hours.
- The preparatory stage for such a long-term make-up is to fill out a medical outpatient card. In it, the master should list all the materials used by him, as well as indicate whether the patient is allergic to any medications. Therefore, it is necessary to know in advance if you have an allergic reaction, especially to anesthetics.

Comparison before and after
Immediately after the procedure, it will be simply impossible to evaluate the actual result. The fact is that for some time the mouth will still be slightly swollen, and the hue of the lips is far from true. It will be possible to fully evaluate the result only after a few days.
If you compare the appearance of the lips before and after the procedure, then you can immediately see their increased volume, brighter and more expressive color, as well as a pronounced relief. Many girls point out that they immediately appreciated the advantageously changed contour. In order to evaluate the result and compare it with what was before the procedure, it is recommended to take a photo of the lips in close-up. So you can easily and visually compare what you had before visiting a specialist and what happened after the procedure.
How much is holding up?
Earlier it has been repeatedly said that permanent makeup has a rather long-term result. The final term of its action is determined by the skill of the specialist, the quality of the ingredients he uses, the individual characteristics of the skin, and also depends on compliance with the recommendations for care after the procedure.
On average, the minimum period of resistance of such makeup is about two years. The maximum time to save the resulting effect is six years. But as practice shows, on average, the persistence of such a tattoo is equal to three and a half years. But even three years is enough to enjoy the result and decide on new changes in the image.
Care after the procedure
For the first few days after visiting the master, the skin exposed to the pigment needs special care.. Within a few hours after the end of the tattoo, the lips may be slightly swollen and reddened, but these problems should disappear after 5-8 hours. Skin care should be immediately, without the appearance of any unpleasant sensations.
In the first 24 hours, drops of liquid may appear on the surface of the lips, they must be removed with a napkin with light protracitating movements. Pre-tissue must be moistened with a small amount of chlorhexedin.
Then the skin will be covered with a rather dense crust, which cannot be removed from the skin on its own. With a strong feeling of tightness and dryness, the surface of such a peel can be lubricated with a special ointment., which should recommend the master performing the tattoo. There will be a simultaneous healing of the surface of the epidermis and the elimination of unpleasant sensations.
During the first three days you should avoid strong frosts and winds.and also try to contact your lips with water as little as possible. Liquids can only be drunk through a straw, avoiding very hot drinks.
In the next 14 days you can not visit the pool, sauna or solarium. And if the procedure was performed in the summer, then for 21 days before going outside it is necessary to abundantly apply a layer of sunscreen on the lips.
On average, the surface of the lips heals completely and is restored after 30 days after the implementation of permanent makeup.
How to delete?
Sometimes for some reason, the removal of pigment from the skin is required. In this case, you can go two ways:
- Contact the salon where the procedure was carried out. The master will assess the condition of the skin and prescribe laser therapy. It can last for several sessions of 2-3 hours. Remember that removing the pigment is much more difficult than driving it under the skin.
- Take advantage of popular recipes and try to get rid of this type of makeup at home on your own. To ensure a positive desired effect in this case is quite difficult, but you can still try. To do this, daily lips must be scrubbed for 2-3 minutes twice a day. It is better to give preference to products with small and soft exfoliating particles, and you can buy a special oil in the cabin and use it according to the instructions.
Regardless of what method of permanent makeup removal you choose, consulting a good master will not be superfluous anyway.

Therefore, to give a definite answer to this question is impossible.
