✅Skin tone + Pigment = Healed Result

To understand the color theory, we need to explore the properties of brown pigments first. Browns can be complex; they can include cadmium oxide (red), ocher (yellow) or soot (black/grey/blue). Over time, the yellow color is the first one that is removed from the skin, so then the skin color turns purplish, or has a bit of a lilac shade. Later, the black color goes away, and then the only color that is left is red. Cadmium (red) is perceived by the body as a natural color, so we often can see red, pink, orange eyebrows after the other shades have faded away; the problem is that it stays for a long time

Red, blue, and yellow are primary colors. When you mix red and yellow, you get orange; mix blue and yellow, you get green; mix red and blue, you get violet. Orange, green and violet are hence called secondary colors. Tertiary colors like red-violet and blue-violet are derived by mixing a primary color with a secondary color.

Your undertone is the color that is under the skin (not to be confused with overtones). Everyone’s undertone sits somewhere on the spectrum of cool (more blue) to warm (more yellow.) I say it’s a spectrum because it is—some people are obviously richly warm and some are very icy cool, but most are somewhere in the middle, and a few are true neutral, a perfect balance of warm and cool.

Some amazing women, determined and business oriented graduated from Classic Lash Artistry Class. It was a lot of content and knowledge and one of the students said “ I didn’t know how much goes into lash artistry”. Yes… I teach from business, marketing science and skill in this class.

I have been doing this for last 15 years 😍 and I still love it more every day. Best post is when I see students walking in the class not knowing how to even hold tweezers to applying lashes on clients. The biggest thing that sets this program apart is that I offer 20 hours additional help in my studio on models.

Being in the industry so long and training successful artists , lashing is not a “ONE” day learn it all class. It is an on going skill building craft.

Future dates are
September 18th ( sold out)( wait list open)
October 17th (1 seat left)
November 14th (2 seats left)
December date TBD ( 2 days in class) .. this class will be inclusive of lash lift and brow lamination

What is the right post care?
If you are using anethstetics during the process of permanent makeup pigmentation, keep in mind Epinephrine ( adrenaline) which is used to reduce swelling will leave skin dry and scaly.( just a hormonal effect). More over the use of lidocaine will make skin less elastic and appear thin after procedure.

The goal is to suggest an aftercare that revives the skin back and assists in normal healing with out the loss of pigment.

To keep the integrity of skin there are suggestion often made like
1. Vaseline
2. Aquaphore ( widely used for body tattoo healing)
3. Vitamin A& D
4. Grapeseed oil
5. Any moisturizer with bees wax
6. Other post care products in the market

The key idea is to keep moisture locked in the skin, provide a barrier film on the skin to keep it away from bacteria and possible infections. Non of these creams have anti bacterial properties but they provide inhibition of growth of bacteria and as a result are recommended.

It is important to understand the ingredient in each post care you recommend . I want to break down the essential and key factors that these products can be classified in

1. Humectants ( attract moisture) Aquaphore, Glycerine
2. Occlusive (Barrier that hold moisture in) Petroleum Jelly
3. Squalene ( Oil Based) Vitamin A& D
4. Emollients ( Fats and oils) Grapeseed oil, coconut oil

Each skin type is different so as a PMU artist knowing all these ingredients is important so you can recommend accurately. Since skin at this time of healing is already dry and we recommend not washing for few days so that natural moisture can be built back .
For Normal Skin it is highly recommended to use Occulusive agents , however if client skin is too oily naturally Squalene and Emolients are to be avoided. If Skin is too dry then Humectants are recommended

I recommend using post care based on skin type, and procedure performed. Please don’t forget to recommend an SPF 50 or higher so that pigment stays healthy.

I teach in depth about all these core fundamentals in my classes.

So what exactly is behind the concept of a personal brand? As a marketing term, the word “brand” has first become widely used in America. However, this word was used in the English language in the X century and meant nothing more than a “stamp”.

In reality the definition is

a brand is a system that allows the identification of a product so it can be easily distinguished from all the competitors. In turn, a “personal brand” is an artificially created or naturally formed image in the minds of other people, designed to engage the target audience.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A PERSONAL BRAND:

– Established mutually beneficial long-term relationships with partners/clients
– Transition from being an individual to the public market format;
– Loyal target audience / consumer attitude;
– Quick career boost;
– Increased level of professional services;
– Increased importance in the perception of the target audience.

Nowadays, there are several ways that can help to achieve this goal. Permanent makeup, contouring and plastic surgery – all these methods can help not only to add more volume to the lips

𝙇𝙄𝙋 𝙋𝙄𝙂𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉

Permanent makeup, in contrast to other methods, makes it possible to increase the volume of lips only visually by correcting the contour line and using various shades of pigments. This method is not able to add extra-volume to very thin lips – it is more suitable for creating a natural effect.

𝙇𝙄𝙋 𝘼𝙐𝙂𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉

Injection techniques used for lip augmentation help to add more actual (not only visual) volume to the lips. Among the variety of fillers used for face volume contouring, hyaluronic acid is the most popular, approved by doctors

𝘾𝙊𝙈𝘽𝙄𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝙊𝙁 𝙋𝙄𝙂𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘼𝙐𝙂𝙈𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙉𝙂

Taking into account the specifics of permanent makeup (gives visual volume) and fillers (add actual volume), it is possible to achieve amazing results. Theoretically, these procedures do not contradict each other; therefore it is possible to perform them in any sequence.

𝙎𝙀𝙌𝙐𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝙁𝙊𝙇𝙇𝙊𝙒

The first step should involve the procedure of permanent makeup. With the use of contouring and shading techniques the asymmetry can be corrected, and the desired color can be added to the lips.

The second step involves the use of dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid; it allows creating additional volume and, if necessary, adjusting the shape.

𝙉𝙀𝙀𝘿𝙇𝙀𝙇𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙇𝙄𝙋 𝙁𝙄𝙇𝙇𝙀𝙍𝙎

Not recommended! No not at all! Could you imagine blasting tissue with fillers that has pigment embedded or vice versa. Results are bluish or discolored pigment.

If you are thinking of lip pigmentation, hyaluronic acid needle less lip fillers are not recommended ❌❌

What would happen if the steps are done in reverse order? Imagine that first we increase the volume of the lips using face contouring injections, and then we perform the procedure of permanent makeup. How will the lips look a few months later when the effect of the fillers is gone?
