Semi Permanent Lip Makeup

There are two types of permanent lip makeup on the market. One is semi permanent makeup lip product. What that means is that it lasts longer than lipstick – some of these last for days. The other type is permanent lip makeup and what that refers to is makeup that is just that, it doesn’t wipe off. This is makeup that goes beyond stain. It is essentially a face tattoo.

Permanent Lip Makeup

Permanent lip makeup is a dream come true for women who struggle to keep their lipstick on. It can help make your lips appear fuller, enhance the color give you the convenience of always having a beautiful smile. Everyone wants luscious lips and there's no reason you can't wake up to them every morning if you want to.

Which Lip Makeup Is For You?

If you’re just getting started with permanent lip makeup then the best way to do it is by starting out with the semi permanent lip products. These are lip stains and long lasting lipsticks. You might have heard of lip ink. Lip ink is basically a vegetable stain and in case you are wondering it really does work. I’ve used it myself. What can you do with it?

  • Enhance your lips naturally.
  • Make thin lips look larger.
  • Wear red lipstick that doesn’t rub off.

There are pros and cons to using semi permanent lip stain. You’ve already read the pros, but what you need to know is that this is makeup that needs precise makeup application. You can get rid of mistakes, but it’s a chore. My recommendation is to first become an expert at lining your lips. Once you’re good at it then start with one of the all day lipsticks to get the feel of a long-lasting lipstick.

6 Easy Makeup Lip Tips

There are a few things you need to know in order to apply permanent lip makeup properly.

    1. Exfoliate lips the night before for smooth lipstick application.

    2. Moisturize your lips each night.

    3. Use a fine lip makeup brush to line your lips with and choose a stain that is close to your natural lip color to begin with.

    4. Once you’ve gotten good at it, then you can switch to your chosen color.

    5. Apply one thin coat and let it dry. Layering is what works for this type of makeup.

    6. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize...Did you moisturize?

Lip stain can dry your lips. It’s essential to use a moisturizing lip balm to nourish your lips. I really like Cover Girl Cosmetics and use it over all types of semi permanent lip makeup. Find a lip balm you like and add it to your kit to use whenever you need it.

Makeup lip products give you lots of choices for wearing colors you like and reshaping your lips. Practice with semi-permanent cosmetics and you’re sure to come up with the solution that’s best for you.
