A participant in the reality show “Star Factory 4” surprised her Instagram followers with an unsuccessful permanent tattoo. The singer published photos straight from the cosmetology salon, adding a caption saying that she considers her new makeup to be perfect. Alexa and users had differing opinions on this issue: the public considered the singer’s eyebrows to be excessively wide and dark.
Types of lip tattoo
Depending on the tasks assigned to the master, one or more execution techniques are selected:
- the watercolor technique of permanent lip makeup is considered the most delicate, making the lips only 1-2 tones brighter; shades are chosen closer to natural; sometimes it is called contourless;
- lightening of the skin around the lips (tattoo “light kyle”): forms a clearer contour, helps to visually increase volume; often necessary for significant skin pigmentation;
With the help of tattooing it is possible to correct the contour that has become blurred as a result of age-related changes; very often, with such a correction, a full color tattoo is performed, which allows you to return faded colors to your lips
- permanent lip makeup 3D: requires the highest professionalism and sense of color from the artist; for tattooing, a whole palette of shades in one color scheme is selected; lips, darker at the edges, gradually lighten towards the center; thanks to this transition they seem three-dimensional;
- contour: used to emphasize the natural contour of the lips or correct it; to change their shape, a new contour is drawn, the gap between it and the natural one is painted over; areas falling out of it are highlighted; with this method, permanent lip makeup can be used with or without shading (photo);
- tattoo with full filling.
Advice! It is problematic to achieve a change in the shape of the lips or their visual enlargement using any one method, so several methods are used for correction.
Michelle Obama
The wife of the former US president has always been distinguished by good taste and excellent appearance at social events. However, during one of her appearances, Michelle surprised the audience with the appearance of her eyebrows. Internet users noticed that her eyebrows are asymmetrical, have different lengths and curves. Because of a low-skilled artist, Michelle Obama was forced to go out several more times with an unsuccessful permanent tattoo.
Do permanent lip makeup need correction?
The first correction is made 1-1.5 months after the procedure, when the final result is already clearly visible. The master corrects minor defects, adjusts the shade, and takes into account wishes. In the future, corrections are made as the pigment fades, approximately once every 1-1.5 years. Repeated procedures are often easier, faster and cheaper if done on time!
Yulia Volkova
Even while participating in the Tatu group, Yulia Volkova showed herself as a person who is not afraid of experiments: she was characterized by shocking clothing, hairstyle and behavior. In 2012, the singer appeared in public with permanent makeup, which surprised everyone. Her eyebrows were deep black and scraggly in shape. After some time, Julia changed the look of her eyebrows to a more natural one, however, according to social network users, they still had too much of a bend.
How do lips heal after tattooing?
The lips heal very quickly, but the result can be fully appreciated no earlier than in a month. The first days they seem too bright and swollen. By the third day, the swelling subsides and crusts begin to form. They should not be scratched, torn off or touched with hands - this will ruin the result. Usually the crusts finally disappear after about a week, and the color becomes paler.
Anastasia Volochkova
The Honored Artist of Russia gained fame not only due to her career as a dancer, but also because of her extravagant behavior and scandals. She was one of the first to do permanent makeup back in the 2000s. Many assessed the transformation as unsuccessful: the ballerina’s eyebrows looked like they were drawn on with a marker, were too dark in color, had an unnatural shape and did not in any way harmonize with the color of the artist’s skin and hair. Despite the criticism, Anastasia Volochkova for a long time refused to change this element of her appearance.
Stars with lip tattoos
But the screen stars cannot give vent to their fears and indecision. If they always want to be fashionable and stylish, then in most cases they should get lip tattoos; this is the fashion trend of 2021. And most of them have already done this, and many, even with success.
You appreciate it.
Lera Kudryavtseva
TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva could never be accused of lacking taste. Appearing at events, she always looked stylish and had impeccable makeup, but no one is immune from mistakes. The star did unsuccessful permanent makeup and continued to wear it for several years. According to the public, Kudryavtseva’s eyebrows were thin and inappropriately shaped and were too dark, which did not harmonize with the celebrity’s hair color. After some time, the star listened to the criticism and changed the shape and color of her eyebrows. This step transformed the TV presenter and made her image more harmonious.
Contraindications to permanent makeup
Lip tattooing should not be done in case of acute inflammation, viral or fungal infections, or malignant tumors. Contraindications are epilepsy, some blood pathologies and a tendency to form keloid scars. It is better to postpone the procedure during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If in doubt, we recommend consulting with your doctor.
Keep in mind that the result of permanent makeup is not always predictable. Too much depends on the individual reaction of the skin, especially to pigments in red and pink shades. To at least make sure there is no allergy, they first do a small test!
Christina Aguilera
The media and critics have repeatedly called Christina Aguilera a style icon. The music award-winning singer and dancer, appearing on the red carpet, amazed the audience with her beauty and stylish looks. But there was a period when the celebrity wore very dark and thin eyebrows, which did not suit her at all. At one point, the star decided to undergo permanent makeup, but this did not save the situation, since the artist was chosen poorly. The star's eyebrows were dark and too wide, which did not harmonize with either the color of her hair or the shape of her face.
Let's look at the reaction to tattooing from our body.
Every damage to integrity, no matter how minimal it may seem to you, is stress. One cannot help but mention the psychological torment of women if something goes wrong. And “wrong” can go wrong for anyone, even if you have never been sick, never experienced any allergies or skin problems.
Do you know why they always ask you to take antiviral medications before getting a lip tattoo? Yes, because exacerbation of herpes occurs in every second person, or even more often.
Even someone who has never had it suddenly gets a sore forever, it was just waiting for the right moment, and now Pandora’s box is open and your beautiful contour will never be the way it was intended... And ugly ulcers will plague me with enviable regularity.
Pamela Anderson
A distinctive feature of the outrageous American fashion model and actress is her passion for various modifications of her appearance. These also include permanent tattooing. The actress has resorted to this procedure for many years. In 2014, the celebrity encountered an unprofessional cosmetologist, which led to the fact that the appearance of her eyebrows amazed others for several months. Thin, unnaturally curved eyebrows that did not suit the star’s appearance spoiled her image.
What are we dealing with?
Just like decorative body designs, permanent makeup (micropigmentation) is a type of tattoo. However, there are significant differences in these two techniques.
Firstly, to create color-rich, eye-catching decorative images, pigment must be introduced under the skin to a significant depth (up to 2 mm). The main task of permanent makeup is to create a natural lip shade, so the depth of punctures with this method is half as much.
Secondly, bright synthetic pigments introduced under the skin during a tattoo, unfortunately, remain there forever. They can only be removed together with the fabrics into which the paint was injected. With the permanent method, only natural dyes are used. Over time (most often it takes 3-5 years) they can completely dissolve.

The stability of such pigments directly depends on the type of pigments used and the rate of metabolic processes in the body. The sun's rays also have a significant impact on the durability of dyes: under the influence of ultraviolet radiation they fade much faster.
Advice! If you decide that the tattoo is too dark, there is no need to panic. After all, the color of permanent lip makeup changes and brightens after healing. You will be able to see the final result only in a few weeks.
Lip tattoo 2021: types
There are several main types of lip tattooing. Each of them is carried out on the basis of a specific technique. So, among the types the following are distinguished:
- Contour. This technique involves filling only the contour lines of the lips with coloring pigment. The hand of a specialist gives the contours of the lips clear, beautiful lines a tone darker than the color of the lips themselves. Of course, the color of the coloring pigment can be any, depending on individual preferences. However, it is worth noting that lip contour tattooing in 2021 suggests using colors that are as close as possible to the natural lip color.
- Light kajal. This tattoo technique repeats the contour tattoo. The difference is that for tattooing a pigment is chosen that is a tone lighter than the color of the lips.
- In addition, the dye is injected under the skin directly next to the natural lines of the lips on the outside. As a result of this procedure, the lips stand out significantly on the face.
- Shading. Using this technique, the pigment substance completely or partially fills the surface of the lips. As a rule, the shading technique is combined with contour tattooing using light and dark shades.
The listed types are the main ones. Along with them, lip tattooing in 2021 is complemented by the following varieties:
- “Naturel” is a gentle and soft filling of the surface of the lips with light shades close to the natural color of the skin. Typically, this technique has nothing to do with contours. That is, the contours within this type of tattoo are not touched or changed.
- “Permanent lipstick” - as part of this type of tattoo, a dye of a certain color is selected and the surface of the lips is completely filled with it. The result is the effect of applying lipstick of the chosen shade to the lips. However, unlike simple lipstick, the permanent effect lasts for a long time.
- 3D lip tattoo 2021 is a special type of tattoo that combines all of the above techniques, needles of various thicknesses and dyes of various shades. And all this within a single procedure. And the result is a rather bright effect of both contour and surface filling of the lips with coloring substances of different shades.
