Aquarelle Lips
Every woman wants her lips to be big and attractive, so she spends a lot of money on cosmetics. Lipstick, in particular, needs to be reapplied frequently because it fades quickly and at unexpected times. On the other hand, the watercolour technique for permanent lip makeup provides an enduring answer, as the pigment holds up even after taking a bath or eating. This innovative makeup technique is also an excellent option for individuals with cosmetic allergies.

What are Aquarelle Lips?
Aquarelle lip is a makeup technique designed to create a soft, blended, natural-looking lip that resembles a watercolour image. It differs from the traditional crisp lip contour, offering a more subtle and blurred effect that is perfect for creating a romantic and fresh look. The technique involves applying pigments layer by layer with a blending effect, making the lips look as natural as possible. It uses the most nude, transparent shades and natural pigments that match the skin tone. The watercolour technique eliminates unwanted flaws, making the colour more consistent, the shape more apparent, and the appearance more natural. The lips obtain fullness, juiciness, and a subtle gloss.
Advantages
- Nude lip tattooing is the safest and most painless. Any allergic or other negative consequences are excluded;
- Permanent lip makeup heals quickly due to the shallow depth at which the pigment is injected into the skin (up to 1 mm). This minimum stress on the skin allows quick healing with no negative consequences, distinguishing it from traditional tattooing techniques;
- The effect is stunning: the lips are delicate and look voluminous, but not excessively; the colour is lively and juicy;
- permanent makeup can be combined with decorative cosmetics. You can apply gloss, lipstick, and pencil when the lips heal, creating beautiful images.
Who is the procedure suitable for:
- you desire a transformation without creating a very bright and flashy appearance on the face;
- you wish to conceal minor lip flaws, including cold sore spots, scars, pigmentation, and slight asymmetry;
- you’re tired of worrying about the state of your lips and constantly colouring them after meals and throughout the day.
The technique is not suitable if:
- you want a bright lip colour;
- asymmetrical lips.
- Want to improve the visual volume of your lips by tattooing?
It is not recommended to use aquarelle lip tattooing to cover a previous tattoo. The last tattoo should be removed with a laser before a new permanent lip tattoo.
Disadvantages
Don’t expect significant effects from lip tattooing, especially after six months or more. The vibrant colour of the lips fades over time, and the initial vibrant colour fades off.
Contraindications
These include AIDS, HIV, epilepsy, stage I and II diabetes mellitus, poor blood clotting, and mental disorders. You can not do lip tattooing if there is a cold sore on them or a wound, cut, or scratch. You can not carry out the procedure if you do not feel well. Even a slight sore throat will be a reason to postpone the session to another day. Lip tattooing is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women since it requires the use of anaesthesia. Take care of yourself and the health of the master!
How to choose the colour of pigment for lips?
When choosing the pigment colour for a tattoo, the artist considers the client’s skin tone and personal preferences. The pigment should complement the client’s natural skin tone and preferences.
Aquarelle tones are typically more subtle and natural, so avoiding bright and bold colours is best. Nude shades are often recommended for their natural and beautiful look during the day, as confirmed by reviews and the extensive experience of our experts. For a more striking appearance, you can add bold lipstick. Our experts will suggest the most flattering and appropriate shades based on your skin tone and unique features.
The most widely used colours for aquarelle tattooing are the following:
- If you have white or red hair, light eyes, and freckled snow-white skin, you can also wear soft caramel, pastel pink tones, and all shades from the fruit and berry palette. On the other hand, if you have dark curly hair, brown eyes, and a darker complexion, opting for warm and vibrant shades of scarlet is recommended.
- Dark blonde or brown hair, grey eyes, and moderately swarthy skin. Emphasizing neutral colours, namely cocoa and caramel, can successfully underline the beauty of the lips.
- For clients with brown hair of light tones, light skin tones and grey eyes are ideal, as are delicious berry colours and soft pink and caramel-coloured tones.
Preparation
Preparing for a tattoo is crucial, and preparing your lips for the procedure is also essential. Specifically:
- The skin should not be dry or have dry skin particles. To prevent it, apply light exfoliants such as honey, sugar, sea salt, or ground coffee to remove dry skin.
- The skin should be soft. Therefore, it is recommended to use masks, creams and balms for the lips to maintain their water balance and overall skin condition;
- It is critical to avoid any trauma. If you find a cold sore on your lips, remember that antiviral drugs are pretty helpful in treating this illness.
Stages of permanent lip tattooing
Firstly, we suggest you select the pigment colour for your aquarelle lip tattoo. While the artist typically considers the client’s skin tone and preferences when choosing a shade, your input is also valuable. Remember that it’s possible to select multiple shades, which the artist can blend to create a custom lip tattoo colour that is perfect for you. Stages of aquarelle lip tattoing:
- The master will offer recommendations and answer any questions you might have. Then, you will choose the shade, and the master will proceed with the treatment.
- The aquarelle tattoo method does not need a particular outline or design, eliminating the need for a preliminary sketch. The artist will provide disposable items such as caps and shoe covers before inserting pigment into the skin.
- After the initial pigment application, the specialist applies an anesthetic to minimize discomfort. This anesthetic reduces redness and swelling, helping the specialist work more precisely.
- The process continues until the pigment is evenly injected and smoothly blended. Our goal is to achieve harmony in the final image!
- At the end of the procedure, the master will make an appointment to correct your lip care and answer your questions.
Correction
Required. Aquarelle lip tattooing requires correction due to the initial light intensity of the shade. As the skin heals, the colour may lighten unevenly, affecting the overall look of the lips. Therefore, it is essential to even out and intensify the lip colour for a noticeable effect. This correction enhances the appearance and extends the tattoo’s longevity. Rather than the typical 6-12 months of visible results without correction, you can enjoy an improved look for 1.5-2 years with the necessary adjustments.
Aftercare
One significant benefit of using the nude lip technique is that it heals quickly and easily. As a result, the recovery process doesn’t necessitate any special care or extra steps that could prolong the healing time. Two fundamental rules that are important to follow:
- The lips may experience dry lymphatic fluid after permanent makeup, which can be present in the first few hours or up to a day. To address this, you can use a cotton pad soaked in chlorhexidine to remove it.
- Dry lips should be avoided by keeping them moisturized with simple cosmetic petroleum jelly.
Recommendations
- Correction: The best time to do this procedure is one month after the initial session. Additional touch-ups can be done as desired by applying more colour to the lips.
- Avoiding saunas, swimming pools, and tanning is essential during healing and recovery. Tanning is strictly prohibited while the skin is healing. Even after the skin has healed, apply sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 40 before going outside.
- Do not use lipstick gloss for the first 10-14 days after the first session;
- Avoid traumatizing the skin by using harsh exfoliating or mechanical procedures during the treatment.
- During the initial days, avoid kissing and consuming hot beverages.
How much does it cost?
Permanent makeup is an expensive procedure. The cost depends on the salon and the type of service.
The cost of services may vary based on factors such as comfort level and the specialist’s experience. Typically, services provided by a highly skilled specialist will be more expensive than those offered by beginners. On average, services from an expert may range from $500 to $800 AUD.
For aquarelle eyeliner lips, choose a professional with a certificate of completion of courses on permanent makeup. An experienced master of permanent makeup not only perfectly masters the technique but also knows the rules of colour selection and the nature of the interaction of pigment with the type of skin.
