warming up cool lips

Darker lips generally contain much more blue pigmentation compared to caucasian lips, and this results in many asian and black clients feeling unhappy with the greyish tone of their lips. 

My client wanted to add subtle warmth to her lips. I am extremely cautious with naturally darker lips and suggested we initially implant colour into a small area during our first appointment to see if the healed result was what my client desired before going ahead. She was happy with the effect and opted for a full lip treatment. 

BEFORE

The photos document our progress after two of her three treatments - lip contour, followed by a full lip colour 5 weeks later. She has since had her third full lip colour treatment and I need to chase her up for a photo! She is thrilled with the result.

AFTER: HEALED 5 WEEKS POST TREATMENT

recent texts I have received from clients :)

"Hi Rachel, just texting to say that I'm very happy with my eyebrows, thankyou for a brilliant job :)"

Ana , London

"Hi Rachel, this is just to let you know that I am very, very happy with how you lined my eyes. It's just the right amount of liner. I feel as if I always look more pulled together now. Enjoy your day and know that you are wonderful at what you do!"

Steph, London

"Hi, just thought I would tell you how I am getting on. Although I was originally a little concerned with the red outline of the lips, it faded just as you said after 6 days, the process was exactly as you described! lips back to normal now, I am delighted and received several compliments, not realising what I had done but thought I had new lipstick as lips looked more plump, obviously looking natural, which is lovely. So big thankyou, I am delighted!"

Maureen, London

"Hi Rachel, thanks for my lovely new eyebrows - I love them!"

Valerie, London

"I love my lips Rachel, 2 weeks on and colour has healed perfectly. thankyou x"

So, It has been a wee while since I posted on here! I have been a very busy lady, and here are just some of the fruits of my labor for you to have a gander...

Pigment will heal 20- 40% lighter after one week

My client, before:

Immediately after:

4 weeks later, healed result:

(with a sneaky addition of a beauty spot)

I mixed a pigment blend in a cool pink tone to match the client's natural lip colour. The immediate result is about 40% darker, as with all permanent makeup procedures, and this lightens within about 7 days of healing.

This client was so thrilled with the healed result, she opted for a beauty spot to make the most of a small freckle, and also received 3D hair simulation eyebrow enhancement, shown below.

Before:

Immediately after:

She had brilliant eyebrow structure and hair density to begin with, but wanted additional length at the tail ends, and natural looking definition with hairstrokes that weren't too tightly compact within the brow. I really enjoyed this treatment, and I hear the colour has since healed perfectly :)

pretty eyes

These photographs were taken immediately before and after treatment, there is slight swelling

eyeliner enhancement:

This client already had big beautiful feline eyes

very Diana Ross... just stunning.

She wanted a very natural "pretty eye" look, nothing too heavy or obvious.

After a thorough consultation, we soon realised she actually wanted a step up from the natural "eyelash enhancement" requested, because the client wanted to acheive more of a lift with the implanted shape. Therefore she opted for a full eyeliner enhancement for a slightly stronger look, that can be built upon in her inclusive retouch if desired.

Note that I did not take the pigment through the bottom lashes, because this would have pulled her natural doe eye shape downwards, and would not have made the most of her lovely eyes.

This client is very happy with the results thus far, and she is now considering booking an eyebrow enhancement for the new year.

another happy client :)

Here is a testimonial I received via email today:

 

"I had undergone semi permanent make-up to my eyebrows on two occasions and the outcomes were far from satisfactory, I really was becoming very sceptical that I would ever encounter someone who could achieve a good result! Then I came across Rachel! With her artistic/creative background and attention to detail I have been delighted with her work and now wouldn't even consider anyone else carrying out the procedure. Many SPMU artists may charge a little less but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for" and after two expensive mistakes I have at last found someone I can trust!"

thankyou for being a super client.

During my latest visit to the midlands, I decided to dust off my pencils and partake in some sketching. Frankly... I am more than rusty! So please excuse any lack of "Likeness" to Miss Monroe. I decided to draw her because her beautiful face is familiar to EVERYBODY... And any flaws in my drawing would be apparent to all, especially to myself.

But, I must practise what I preach; any good permanent makeup practitioner must have drawing ability to some degree. A good artist will be their own worst critique. And since I now also wish to pursue a career in traditional tattoos, PLENTY more drawing is to come...

The Battle of the Blonde

Over the years I have found that one of my biggest battles as a permanent make-up practitioner is:

The battle of the blonde!

Many of my clients looking for semi permanent eyebrows are blond haired, and therefore will be suited to receiving beautiful blonde eyebrows. Despite this, most of the ladies I talk to still presume this is not an option, and that I can only offer them brown coloured brows, or worse, tattoo ink black eyebrows.

Here is a small colour chart I now keep within my salons to demonstrate to my clients the scope of colour available, from baby blonde to Cleopatra black

 Each colour has a different undertone, here's a quick guide:

(please click to enlarge)

Blonde pigments rest so lightly in the skin that they don't last as long as darker colours, with the absolute lightest blonde shade only lasting 9 months!

...Still sceptical?

Here's an example of a client I treated. She had permanent make-up applied to her brows several years ago. Due to a poorly educated practitioner placing a red based brown pigment into her warm skin tone... the faded result was an unflattering shade of pale orange. This is very common amongst clients who received treatment 5+ years ago, and at a lower than average cost. I implanted a yellow/ green base blonde pigment to counteract the orange tone.

Upon redesigning this client's brows, I had to consider:

1. Working over a poorly implanted shape and colour, and the limitations involved with this.

2. Lack of hair growth.

3. The lightness of the clients hair - combined with the need to use a tone dark enough to conceal the old orange pigment.

But, all of the above are by no means out of the ordinary, and with a skilled practitioner, almost all unsatisfactory work can be improved.

BEFORE

AFTER

Please note:

This photo is the immediate result and the pigment will heal about 30% lighter.

Due to the titanium in blonde pigments and how it sits within the skin, a defined, strong hair-stroke effect is not possible. However, extraordinary improvement can be achieved with successfully implanted pigment, and a well structured shape.

This is understandably something to be cautious about - after all, these brows are going to be framing your face for a while. But rest assured you bloomin' blondes - I have a pigment that's perfect for you.

The time saving benefits of permanent makeup

Very often the benefit of saving time in applying makeup each morning is overlooked by those who fit it into their daily regime without a second thought. So many of my clients are perfectionists themselves, which is why they come to Precision Permanent Cosmetics.

Ladies can waste accumulated hours of time drawing in the perfect eyebrow shape, the perfect eyeliner flick, or the perfect lip line.. it can understandably become tedious and very time consuming! with semi permanent make-up, you can wake up ready to go, a brush of foundation and a flick of mascara and your out the door.

Say goodbye to those stressful last minute makeup panics, when your eyeliner flicks are pointing in different directions, and your left eyebrow just isn’t looking right. Not to mention that having a permanent lip blush/ contour will enable your lips to look picture perfect and voluptuous all day long.

Be picture perfect all day long, check out the testimonials on my website http://www.precisionbeauty.co.uk/
