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.

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.
