She is a Registered Nurse and prior to becoming a permanent makeup artist and owner of MPi she was a plastic surgery nurse working for a large group of local plastic surgeons. Her reasonable price includes a full block and 2 visits: One for the work and one for a touch up. She did a spectacular job on my lips. She's a pro and I feel very comfortable in her hands. She actually did the wife of the guy who does my botox and when another professional puts his wife in the hands of someone, that's really saying something. Since she is a registered nurse she can provide more effective methods of pain control than other estheticians. When she does lips, she does a FULL medical block around your mouth so you feel NOTHING. I chose her because I saw her work before I even met her and learned that she does a lot of corrective work done by salons, nail salons or spas. I preferred a natural look and she accomplished this wonderfully. My lips look smooth and natural.

Nice results. I am thinking of permanent make-up for my lips. You look great. Was it painful?
No - but she did a full dental block so I felt nothing.
I was considering doing this, but was afraid I wouldn't like the color once it was on and then I would regret it. How do you know what the color will look like on you prior to having it done permanantly?
they have a range of colors. I took a neutral lipstick I liked and matched it. They can swipe the color on your skin to see if you like it. But it does fade... i personally wouldn't do anything drastic but a neutral pink that's subtle is nice. I've not regretted mine at all - i fact i had it touched up last week to deepen the color a bit.
I really like the color you choose, do you remember the color or the name? I am nervous about choosing the wrong color.
It was English Rose, but I think it depends on the brand of micropigment. Take a color of lipstick you like. If the artist is good, they can help you choose something natural. They should be able to show you a chart and have the artist swipe some of the ink on the inside of your wrist. Don't be afraid... you'll be fine! Just make sure you pick a reputable artist and look at their work before you commit.
Thank you I appreciate your insight!

I thought a lot about getting permanent makeup. As I got older my natural lip color began to fade and it made my face look all pasty so I was always reaching for the lipstick. As an outdoorsy kind of girl this doesn’t really jive with my lifestyle. I love the color – it actually brightens up my face. An ex-lipstick junky, I've not even reached to put any on - I don't need to.
