Define Your Lip

Best Permanent Lip Coloring

Permanent lip coloring, also known as permanent lip makeup or lip tattoo, is the placement of specialized pigment into the upper layer of the skin creating more defined, even, symmetrical, fuller and long-lasting lips. The procedure also can minimize the appearance of wrinkles. With proper application, the treatment is safe and will look amazing!

Bare Necessity provides consultations and permanent lip tattoos. Full lip color can be applied in either a natural hue or a more vivid one. Wear your permanent lip color alone in a natural tone or apply different shades of lipstick over your permanent lip color for those occasions when you prefer a more dramatic look-you will find that the color lasts much longer when applied over permanent cosmetic lip color than it did to a bare lip.

Things you should know:

  • A permanent lip tattoo enhances lips, but doesn’t actually increase the fullness
  • The healing process can take up to two weeks, and over that time the color can change significantly. You see the full, truest color after two weeks.
  • If you are prone to cold sores, make sure you’re taking medication to prevent them.

Importance of Permanent Lip Coloring

Your face is the most important part of you. Now is the time to look your very best all the time!

Coloring lips has been around for over 5,000 years. The earliest record begins approximately 3,500 B.C. when the Sumerian queen, Queen Schub-ad, used lip colorant. The Sumerian people adopted the practice so prevalently that anyone who could afford to had themselves buried with their lip paints stored in cockleshells. The neighboring Assyrians followed their lead so much so that both men and women began painting their lips red.

Lipstick culture reached the Egyptian empire where it continued to define social status. Both women and men boldly applied makeup daily. During mid to later years of the Egyptian empire it became a social mandate to apply lip paint and in death each well-to-do woman took at least two pots of lip paint to her tomb.

Coloring lips continued to spread through the rise and decline of Greek culture and into the Roman Empire for men and women.

Fast forward to the 1950s, movie actresses Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor helped expand the use of coloring lips. By the end of the 1950s, almost all women used lipstick and two-thirds of teenage girls wore lipstick.

Today coloring lips continues to be very popular and the appeal goes well beyond attracting a partner to include the psychological benefits of building confidence and joy!

While the common term used is “permanent”, realize that all pigment fades and that is just a fact. All permanent makeup fades due to the exfoliation process, this is the process of the epidermis continually shedding and regenerating itself. For most people, permanent lip coloring will last for years, and for some it may need to be touched-up annually. There are many marketing terms out there like “cosmetic tattooing”, “permanent makeup”, “semi-permanent makeup”, “micro-pigmentation”, “dermapigmentation”, etc. and they all mean the same thing.

Bare Necessity is dedicated to using the highest-quality, premium supplies available to assure you of the best, longest-lasting results. Keep in mind that pigment and ink are different. Pigment is specifically designed for your face, is primarily used in permanent makeup and you want to use pigment so that your results have a more natural powdery finish. In this specific situation permanent eyeliner and permanent eyeliner tattoo are not the same – if they use tattoo ink rather than pigment, and you want to use pigment for a natural, powdery finish.
