Lip embroidery is a cosmetic technique to improve your lips’ shape and colour. By emphasising the intensity of your lips, you may make them appear larger, younger, and more symmetrical. It is also known as “lip micropigmentation,” “lip microblading,” and “lip blush,” among other terms, although they all refer to the same procedure.
Specialised pigments are employed to enhance the colour or tint of the lips in this case. The dyes are applied to the surface of the lips using a sterile needle, creating layers of colour with gradual, deliberate punctures.
Lip embroidery enhances the colour of your lips. It does not, however, work like regular make-up. To make your lips appear larger, you usually line them with cosmetics. This process works only on the lips; otherwise, the colour would seem uneven since your skin and lips absorb pigment differently.
How Long Do the Effects Last?
Lip embroidery results can last up to two years. However, the colour’s longevity is determined by the pigments utilised. Synthetic-organic micro-pigments typically stay for 18 months, though inorganic micro-pigments might last up to 2 years.
The colour you pick will also have an impact on the end effect. Pigments seem 50% lighter on the lips than in the bottle. Don’t be hesitant to select deeper tones over nude colours since they will appear more vibrant when swatched on your skin.
How Do I Get Ready for Lip Embroidery?
The first step is finding the best paramedical make-up or PMU (permanent make-up) artist and clinic for your operation. Make sure you work with a qualified cosmetic artist with extensive expertise in such make-up procedures. Consultations can begin once you’ve found the perfect person and location for what you’re searching for. To avoid difficulties, notify the artist about any skin or medical conditions that affect your lips.
There is little preparation for the process. It is, however, not recommended that you clean your teeth or drink anything before your consultation. There is no need to be concerned about the procedure being uncomfortable because topical anaesthetics are used beforehand.
What Are Some Lip Embroidery Aftercare Tips?
Your lips will be puffy and uncomfortable for a few days following the operation, but this will subside. The colour will likewise look deeper at first but will lighten afterwards. It is advisable to schedule your visit on a weekend so that you have 1-2 days to recover from the side effects. The final colour will take around two weeks to set.
Meanwhile, follow these guidelines to get the most excellent outcomes from your procedure:
- Scabs and dry skin on your lips will come off naturally if you do not pluck or remove them.
- Avoid puckering and stretching your lips.
- Avoid smoking.
- Long showers should be avoided since the wetness and warmth might induce infection.
- Avoid activities that cause you to sweat heavily.
- Avoid touching your lips when eating or cleaning your teeth.
- Apply no cosmetics or cleansers to the pigmented area.
- When cleansing your face, use patting strokes rather than rubbing or scrubbing.
- Avoid sleeping on your back.
- Avoid prolonged sun exposure.
- Consuming crabs or prawns, as well as spicy or salty meals, may trigger inflammation.
Conclusion
Lip embroidery, as previously noted, is becoming increasingly popular in Singapore. As a result, locating a studio that employs cutting-edge technology and highly experienced artists is relatively easy. Another thing to consider is the pigments used in your process.
Other than your lips, you may also opt to embroider other areas. The clinic you go to for lip embroidery will probably have eyebrow and eyeliner embroidery treatments as well, so you won’t have to look far.
