19 Dec 2008

I had a permanent makeup eyeliner procedure many years ago. At first it was good but wasn't as dark as I wear it or didn't show through my darker skin well enough so she did it again and that did the trick.

I wanted my lips done also but she wouldn't do it. She said all kinds of bad things could happen because I was dark skinned. After a few years I kept pleading with her to do it. We used to work together at the hospital and I asked as a friend for her to do it and I would accept whatever happened as my own fault. I wanted a light pink. She said it would be difficult to put light pink on dark skin. She said she would test overcompensating with a pink way lighter than what I was wanting. It did turn out too light. It didn't look good on me. It might have looked good on a white woman.

She made me wait a year and a half to redo it. She wanted to make sure nothing was going to change about the color. When I went back she changed the color and it looks good now. She thought the extra light base from the first time helped make the color do well the second time.

Great review?

please my problem is i have a dark skin and a very dark lips which's darker than my skin colour and i want to find out if there's either surgery or anything that can permanently change my dark lips to pink.....
Also i want to know how much it's going to cost me to have it done cuz it does't makes me feel confortable in the mist of people.
Due to that i have been applyin lipstick each and everyday and im no longer confortable with it......
Please let the price be relatively low so i can afford.and can inbox me

Lips are a process not just one procedure. They are harder to do and take differently than the face.

We have been doing Permanent Make up for years and 99% of the time the first time is 80% complete. Then in 2 months you come in for a Perfection session. This is like the second coat of paint to deepen the color or make a coral, pink or red tone.

I NEVER, NEVER USE A WHITE TO SHADE DOWN. IT MAKES THE LIPS LOOK TO CALKY. I rather you ask
me to darken them than to lighten them. One charge for the lips, till you are happy.

I was thinking about getting the eyeliner. Was it painful and how long did it take. I got my eyebrows done years ago and I love it...

My tattooed eyebrows turned out to be a problem, but I like the eyeliner. Getting the eyeliner done is more scary than it is painful. But MAKE SURE you don't get a tattooist who uses a motorized 'gun'. They create lines that good tattooists call "worms," because that's exactly what they look like.
