Getting semi permanent lip colour tomorrow

[Goldenoodle]

I have name changed, as I am posting a photo of myself!

I am having semi-permanent lip colour done tomorrow. Can anyone with knowledge of the industry advise me what colour (and style!?) I should ask for?

I am not good with colours or tones. So am unsure of what to ask for. I have very pale lips (hence why I am having the treatment), and pink undertones on my skin. (Or so I have been told before)

Bump

Can’t advise on colour but I don’t think you have particularly pale lips? They look perfectly in line with what you’d expect from your skin tone

No industry knowledge whatsoever, but as someone who has quite dark lips I'd suggest not adding too much colour. While I like their natural colour they do rule out a lot of paler lipsticks! I can't do a nude for eg.

Assuming you're in the UK, how can you be getting this done?

You're very pretty though, OP!

[Goldenoodle]

I think I mean the outline is very pale and not defined 😀

[Goldenoodle]

@pinkart oh that is a good tip. It is good to have the option to wear nude lipstick!

[Goldenoodle]

@musicalmoney yes I'm in the UK.
We are not in a lockdown at the moment 🎉🎉🎉

[Elmo311]

I have no idea OP. But you're beautiful 😻

I’ve never even heard of it. Are you sure you need it?

[Goldenoodle]

@dane8 that sounds like you went to a very good technician.
Even I had my brows done (years ago) she did them so dark. I felt like I had two slugs on my face for a year or so. So I'm a little nervous about the colour for my lips.

I think maybe a coral undertone than a pink red as I'm very pale. I really have no idea.

It's a Semi-permanent lip tattoo. Like eyebrow tattoos 😀
It will be very natural looking! I hope...

[musicalmoney]

Ah, I see. I'm in Scotland and this still isn't allowed.

Following to see the after 💋

Ohh exciting, iv had mine done too! Same reason as you, lip line had no pigmentation at all. X

[mrsjackrussell]

I had mine done recently and I took along a lipstick that really suits me and the practioner just made me a colour based on that shade. The rest of it I left up to her as she's very experienced and I trust her. I had eyebrows and eyeliner with her before and have those topped up regularly.

When does it wear off?

[Ostara212]

I didn't know this was a thing. I thought about the eyeliner but finding out it was like a tattoo put me off.

Is this the same procedure, will you have very sore lips?

Also, it seems like it would be really obvious you'd had this done, less obvious with eyeliner IYSWIM.

Here's an update!
It was absolutely fine!
She used plenty of numbing cream and she mixed the colour for me. It will heal as a subtle warm, pink colour.
It will fade 50% apparently and I asked for it to not be too opaque looking. So it should look like a natural lip colour once settled and not too 'done'.
(It should last 2-3 years to the person who asked)
😃

I just booked this for myself! It is going to be so beautiful--and you are already stunning.

[JMAngel1]

Wow, it looks stunning - very natural.

[WithLargeTableMouse]

Wow looks great, although you looked great already. Would this be suitable to add definition to your lip outline or even up asymmetrical lips too? The outline of my lips is just a bit of a blur these days.

[Goldenoodle]

Thank you all!
I will pop back in a month with an update on how they settle.
@WithLargeTableMouse Yes absolutely. They can focus on the border and blend it into the lip too.
