“Wrong Color During Lip Touch Up.”

Worth It
Spent: $600 in US

There was little pain and I was very excited to have the lip micropigmentaion done. I wanted to maintain my naturally light rosey colored lips but wanted a fuller look. Im afraid of what the final result is going to look like since the provider used a different color for the touch up.

I had my lips touched up and realized only after I got home that the color was different(natural)than previously used(a rosey color).My lips look so drab now. I'm afraid after the healing process is finished, I'll be unhappy with the proceedure. What can be done?

hang in there! lips heal differently than other cosmetic tattoos. it is very common for the color to disappear initially and leave the lips more pale than your natural color. your new color should gradually resurface during the third, fourth, and fifth week following your procedure. you shouldn't judge the final color for at least six weeks. best of luck to you.

Thanks, I'm hanging in there and so far so good! Just a bit chapped. I did mention this to my makeup artist and the color should have been "kiss me" which was applied in the beginning. Being that "natural" is in the brown family , we think it should be okay! Waiting patiently!
