read your lips

why your lips are dark...


whoever comes for lip procedure , they make sure to ask why my lips are black/uneven/two different colors/ only upper lip is dark???? and any other solution to get rid of this????

lip skin just as thin as tissue paper, upper lip skin in thicker than lower lip, one more thing is the lower lip looks more healthier than upper lip, both parts are supplied by different nerves and different branches of blood vessels


No kid born with dark lips and as we get older, lips also lost its moisture and tend to more dryness, most brown skin people do have this issue in common, its in nature of the skin, it runs in the race,which can be improved by having oranges, watermelon, lemons, rich water content fruits, apply natural moisturisers, and vit e creams

sun exposure - even lips have a black pigments which produced more, when exposed to sun, use lip balm with spf,

using lipsticks- there is no harm in it, better to use lighter shades and in very less quantity, use lip balm for everyday, keep lipsticks for occasions, always apply the lipsticks on top of lip balm, don't rub too much

when you look through the woods lamp, lips looks whitish around and reddish in the centre, the whitish indicates how dry and lifeless it is and in normal eyes it looks pigmented, and the red indicates inflammation, or due to wetting them with saliva, the centre part of the lips always looks healthy and pink even in the pigmented lips

during pregnancy and menopausal conditions (hormonal imbalance), accumulation of iron in the body( haemocrematosis), vit B12 deficiency, cyanosis (bluish discoloration), females who are on OCP's for long term, viral and inflammatory disorders like cold sores etc should be treated according

post peel burns, laser burns, severe sun burs can be treated but takes too long to recover and some may end up in scar

use photo sensitive creams like hydroquinone and retinoids only at night and in very small amount, spf should be applied next morning,

biting lips, smoking, chewing tobacco, bad dentures also results in trauma and scar and there is no other way than prevention

wrinkled lips also gives dark look, go for lip fillers

Complications with Permanent Make Up......

first of all when people think of permanent make up, they will be more enthusiastic to get it done, they gather all the information before hand and when they meet technician, they just give a nod to everything, because they will be desperate to get the look of their imagination. may end up in few complications,

Dissatisfaction- this is the biggest of all,
eye brows- uneven (it is natural- never go beyond hair line), very dark( wait for few months), very light, patchy, few lines missing ( do it again), turns to green or reddish ( do it with clay color or organic pigments or grey based black and brown). looks artificial ( yes it is not real, will take some time to accept)

lip liner -improper v ( line according to your shape,don't follow other), turning black( always choose light color and never go for dark color), looks uneven ( do your touch ups), looks messy ( when the liner done beyond your lip liner, it happens- use pigment lightening creams to take of the color like dermaerase, biluma, glycolic based creams), 

lipcolors - no color ( when lightcolors are used it happens, please keep the before pics and always compare it,) too dark ( wait for months, if still not happening then go for gycolic peels), looks blueish or purplish ( apply biluma for 4 months and it is solved or kojic acid products can be used )

eyeliner- go for dark color, which stay long long yeras and same as lipliner, dont go for eyeshadow, always go for basic lines than designs, so you can change it whenever you want,

upper liner always fades faster than the lower one

formation of scars- very rare- if done very deep or harshly or overdoing - can be treated but if hairloss because of it then cover it with pigment, to avoid it always choose experience hands 

granuloma or keloids- avoid it if you have a keloids anywhere in you body, it is not dangerous but it is difficult to treat, 

cracking, peeling,or local infection- it is a process, apply antibiotic, vit e creams and moisturisers, 

allergies- poor quality pigments, adulterated, poor hygiene, plastic dye, - can be treated by proper care and according to symptoms

Hepatitis, Hiv - because of unsterilized  needles or contaminated pigments - always make sure the technician is using disposable units.

fever blisters- if you are a victim of herpes, if you are going for a lip procedure then do take a antivirals for a week time and even after the procedure continue for one more week

swelling, itching, burning- ice it,

Why your cosmetic tattoo fades???

few reasons which make sense ....

 Dead skin - its a natural process, when new skin cells are generated the dead cells are thrown out and they were erased minimally by your daily face washes and maximum wash by chemical peels and abrasions, 

pigments placed just an inch below your skin, as skin losses the inches, your pigments were also thrown out

pigments- organic pigments fades faster than inorganic because of their solubility 

Skin treatments - like chemical peels, medicated cleansers, lasers, skin polishing, parlour activities acne creams, skin lightening creams, scrubbers, etc which were used to lighten your skin will also lighten your pigments 

Nanno pigments - when the pigment powders are very minute they were digested easily by your immune system and they dissolve faster

Diluents,- if the pigment powders are mixed very thick or watery, either way they they will not stray longer, thicker pigments could not reach beneath and watery pigments flows with the blood flow.

and if pigments are placed very deep into the skin, then also there will be no retention

Topical anaesthetics- alkalises the skin - dispersal of the pigment within the skin 

other medications- like using blood thinners, antibiotics for long time, 

sunlight- can change the iron oxide colors to look more darker and also fades away the tattoo 

Little about permanent Pigments used in the permanent make up

Pigments are made of solid powders of iron oxides and minerals and which are difficult to dissolve, so stays under your skin for long years
The solid powders made into liquids by adding diluent like glycerine,distilled water along with anti microbial and inserted into the skin through needles

alcohol, listerine, ethylene, aldehydes etc. are added as a carrier to keep the pigments evenly distributed and to disinfect it and inhibit the growth of pathogens 

In ancient times Inorganic colors are used to paint walls or on the rocks and used even in the form of cosmetic products

Both organic and inorganic pigments synthesized in the lab

Organic Made of vegetables, herbs and synthetic colors  More vibrant tones Easily soluble  Mixed with metals to make them insoluble   Profoundly used in body arts Potential risk of adverse skin reactions and toxicity Easily removed by laser procedures Color remains the same or may turn to greyish after some time but fades faster  No discomfort if it is pure oraganic

Inorganic Made of charcoal, cinnabar, cobalt, cadmium, mercury etc.          Earthy tones or dull colors          Low solubility          Used in pure form          More preferable to cosmetic tattoo          Very rare                 Colors can be lightened but difficult to remove          Most colors turns to greenish, because of oxides of iron and darker lip shades may turn darker         Temporary discomfort during MRI like pulling or burning sensation, but can be avoided by placing wet cotton over the tattooed area

pigments origin

Black- iron oxide, carbon, logwood
Yellow- curcuma, cadmium
Blue- cobalt, copper carbonate
Green- chromium
white- lead, zinc oxide, barium sulphate
violet- manganese
Brown- iron oxide with clay
Red- cinnabar, cadmium, iron rust
Orange-  disazodiarylide
flesh- ochres
Yellow- curcuma, cadmium

create pigments from basic pigments-

black +white or black + flesh, clay +black  - many shades of grey and black
deep green + red to create browns
blue and red- create shades of purple to rose

play with the colors to create your own fashion but one thing is, if you do not mix it properly, you gone a end up in primary color

How safe is to get a permanent eye liner???

perfectly lined eyes glitters your face, brings much more confidence to your look


But what happens when it comes to eyes, we are very much scared to do anything even around it, and when it comes to permanent liner done with a needle, which is more scary, yes I do agree, but the procedure is done only on the hairline (eye lashes), and you will experience mild discomfort as it is done more superficial,

Once done, it is like done forever, and it looks awesome even after years, and if you want to maintain same color, then you can do touch up at-least once in two years.

There are many shapes and thickness of lines you can choose, but the better option will be 2 inches to 3 inches and not more than that and better to follow the hairline than on the skin

There will be no loss of eyelashes until unless it is done by efficient technician

Dark shades are opted for long lasting results, lighter the color, fades off faster

After the procedure take care of it like a wound and use the antibiotic creams for a week and vit E cream there after and always wear sunglasses to protect them

Few Queries on Permanent make up.....

Cosmetic tattooing or permanent make up solutions. How are Indian brides and grooms in particular and people in general, taking to this beauty trends?

Are these permanent cosmetic solutions effective and long-lasting? 

cosmetic pigments are implanted one inch below the skin (dermal layer)with the help of micro needling, so it is obvious that they last longer and the Pigments used in this process are made of solid inorganic powders, made of oxides and hydroxides of metals, has Earthy tones, they are insoluble and hard to metabolize

Effectiveness compare to body tattoo it fades faster because of the thickness of the skin, as the skin of the eyelid and lips are thinnest of all other body parts and also because of the earthy tones

Eye-liner and brow color stays forever though with little fading and little physical changes, lip color lightens faster than any, because of its dryness and peeling nature during dry and cold seasons

But when done on black or pigmented lips, it works wonder, though it may not show much color but it will erase your black lips and make you smile even without lipsticks

What is permanent eyebrow shaping all about? How effective and convenient is it compared to traditional shaping?

Smokers lips - never ending pollution...quitting is best solution

Most smokers complains of dark lips and some of them of uneven tone and also pink patches in the centre of the lips



As you know cigars are made of tobacco- in simple term you will be using tar(coal) to burn the tobacco leaves and inhales the polluted air and pollutes whole body just for a pleasure

Nicotine – it is a key ingredient of tobacco, decreases the absorption of iron which results in poor retention of color because tattoo colors are made of iron oxides and also decreases the blood circulation which results in poor healing 

Tar – It is the main content to burn the tobacco efficiently and keeps the heat intact results in loss of moisture (chelities) and destruction of black pigment (melanine) of the lips just like a burnt skin

Carbon monoxide – Mixes with the blood (carboxyhaemoglobin) and turns skin to blue – black

Cosmetic tattoo works well, but it is temporary, if you want a permanent solution you need to quit smoking and make your lips smile forever

and do apply lots of moisturiser with sunscreen (spf) in it, because skin will be prone to sunburn and cells may turn cancerous

lightening creams can be used - like Biluma- it has kojic acid in it and it is very safe
                                                   Sebamed lip balm- its vit E based lip balm
                                                   coconut oil - also helps to restore the health of the skin

to avoid black lips by cigars - you can use smokeless cigarette
                                                electronic cigars
                                                nicotine patches

Complains on lip color Micropigmentation  

clients are happy when they first get the permanent make up lip color procedure - bright color attracts them and the pleasure of pain will end up in smiles

one day, two day and third day it starts peeling and after peeling it looks fabulous, they will be adored and admired for a week with selfie's and flaunts and they forget everything else  and even their real lip color, the complaints start from next day and the pleasured pain will become painful in overnight and they  shower the whole blame on the technician though they have not assured any great results

if your lips are lighter, then you can expect atleast 30%of color retention and lasts longer






if your lips are dark then there will be not much retention and you have to go for few touch ups to cover your black pigmented lips, with lots of patience and also should use lightning creams to lighten the lips before going for the touch up session and it also depends on the nature of skin like when you put mehandi(temporary henna tattoo) on your palms, some people gets very good color and some not, it happens here too because of differences in the healing nature of the skin, frequent peeling of lips in all the seasons, and sun exposure, everything matters when it comes to retention of lip color

to know the retention of your lip color you have to wait for a month, and the healing lip color starts fading as month turns but if brighter lip colors are used, you can see them even after a year, and lighter colors lasts for few months and your lips looks more healthier than before

when you look in the mirror you may not see any color, but when you click a pic, sure you can find the trace of color and better than your old version and please compare to your before pictures to confirm it

and never go for too dark colors which has more black pigment in it, because it turns to black later, which is very difficult to conceal even if you do many touch ups

cosmetic tattoo is a science which can be explained well and so please stop blaming 

Black lips NO more……

Is your lips are really black??? Actually they will scream n say blue blue blue or purplish

Than covering them with lipsticks for 24hours, treat them with new color by cosmetic tattoo procedure

But needs more than one touchup session and your patience to achieve this

After your lip color session, initially it looks fabulous for a week time and blank thereafter, but color blooms back after 3 to 4weeks of time,

After a month start using de pigmenting cream, believe me it works like magic

In four months your lips need no more lipsticks, only lip balm will be enough to take care

What really happens in these 4 months????

When you zoom into your black lips – microscopically it is nothing but a scarred, quiet deep seated dried melanin

When you get micro needling, it improves the blood stream, and implants the color

In 2 to 3 days it starts peeling same like wound healing process

Color looks dull and dark as it mixes with melanin of lips and it is treated as a foreign body they fight each other and melanin rules over implanted pigment

After 3 to 4weeks biological fight comes to a halt and implanted color gets immune

Now show begins with implanted color as a transparent screen on black lips

The role of de-pigmenting cream begins here, it helps to wash out the melanin stain and even little implanted color is also sacrificed, be patience…..

In four months of time your lips will smile without lipstick

Now little about procedure – can be made painless by using local anesthesia and procedure may lasts for 2 to 3hour

Immediate – lots of color and swelling

Thereafter- swelling comes down in 1 or 2 days

Post care – antibiotic cream and moisturizer for a week time then u can start using lipstick along with moisturizer and always protect from sun 

Paint your brows

Shaping eyebrows is quiet challenging and interesting too because there are many ways to sketch brows, it’s like innumerable races and numerable shapes, the flow of hair falls in many directions, simulation of hair when there is no brow hair then it looks artificial but better than painting every day.

Why there is no symmetry in two brows??? Facial expressions impacts this a lot, lot of animation, sleeping on one side, these habitual routines make us victim of asymmetries just like a cotton cloth, alert faces will have very less of worry lines and unevenness just like a muslin cloth which never leaves any imprints

After cosmetic tattoo there is evident regrowth of the eyebrow hair because of needle stimulation just like mesotherapy is used to stimulate scalp hair

There are different ways of tattooing brows like brushing, filling and hair simulation(sketch it like hair), if you have less hair then go for brushing, no hair at all then do the hair simulation, if you want it to be bushy then go for filling

permanent make up aka micropigmentation

All about permanent make up

Perfect face is a god’s grace but face can also be updated and edited just like an any other apps, Simple to complicated, ageing to ageless to confuse the visionary of vision to unlock the word wow, is she really???I thought only ladies are bothered but I don’t know what makes men insecure; of course to build up confidence, social appearance, everything matters when you are stepping out

Micropigmentation is used to thicken your eyebrows, give border to your eyes and cover your dark lips, create beauty spot and many more to refresh your nude look naturally and stays longer

Micro-pigmentation aka cosmetic tattoo,is sibling of tattoo, only pigments and equipments varies but the technique is same

what happens when machine runs?? just like a sewing machine needle moves up and down or round and round to give you desired look with beautiful inks and your tattoo done and ink is planted into your skin just an inch below

how thin your skin is??? thinnest is eyelid,lips and forehead in ascending order,thicker the skin easier the procedure

Pigments- Pigments used in this process are made of solid inorganic powders Made of oxides and hydroxides of metals, has Earthy tones, Used in pure form, Potential risk of adverse skin reactions and toxicity is Very rare

Here is my magic tool to enhance the ill defined features into a remarkable but not permanently but can be maintained permanently by micro pigmentation
