Myths and Misconceptions about the Watercolor Technique of Permanent Lip Makeup

There are several common myths and misconceptions about watercolor techniques that may be holding you back from making a decision. Let's dispel the most popular ones:

Myth #1: Watercolor lips are “money down the drain”, you can hardly see the results!

This is perhaps the most common myth that discourages many from the watercolor technique. There is a perception that watercolor lips are just a light “toning” that will not bring visible changes. Why is this thought? Probably because the watercolor technique, unlike the bright lipstick effect, really strives for maximum naturalness. But natural doesn't mean inconspicuous!

Watercolor lips are designed not to dramatically change your appearance, but to delicately enhance your natural beauty. Imagine a light watercolor sketch - delicate halftones, subtle transitions of color, but at the same time - expressiveness and charm. So is watercolor permanent lip makeup - it refreshes the color, makes your lips more expressive, adds light volume and sensuality. Your lips will look healthier, well-groomed and more attractive, as if you had just applied a drop of delicate tint. This is not a screaming makeup, but a natural charm that emphasizes your personality.

Of course services to create the effect of watercolor lips should be performed by highly qualified masters, then the effect will be as natural and beautiful as possible.

Myth #2: “Watercolor lips don't last long, the color will wash off quickly.”

Persistence of permanent makeup is a question of concern for everyone considering this procedure. And there is an opinion that watercolor lips, as a more “light” technique, are not distinguished by longevity. This is a misconception!

Watercolor permanent lip makeup is semi-permanent like any other type of permanent makeup. This means that the pigment is introduced shallowly and over time is gradually removed from the skin. On average, the result of watercolor lips pleases its owners from 1 to 2 years! Of course, the durability is influenced by individual characteristics of the skin (type, age, metabolism), lifestyle (UV exposure, care), as well as the quality of the pigments used and the professionalism of the master.

But in general, the durability of watercolor lips is quite comparable to other permanent lip makeup techniques. Moreover, due to the delicate introduction of pigment, the skin is traumatized less, which may even contribute to better retention of color. And to maintain the brightness and saturation of the shade, a refresh (refresh) procedure is recommended, which will allow you to enjoy the flawless look of watercolor lips for many years.

Myth #3: “Permanent lip makeup is always painful and traumatic.”

We hasten to reassure you: watercolor technique - one of the most delicate and comfortable techniques of permanent lip makeup!

Modern cosmetology has moved far ahead, and the procedure of permanent lip makeup, including watercolor technique, is carried out with the mandatory use of anesthesia. In our studio we use a highly effective application anesthesia, which is applied to the skin of the lips before the procedure and almost completely blocks pain sensations. You will feel a slight vibration or tingling rather than pain. Of course, everyone's individual pain threshold is different, but most of our clients describe their sensations during the procedure of watercolor lips as quite tolerable and even comfortable.

Masters of Svaya Studio are always attentive to your feelings and, if necessary, can add anesthetic for your maximum peace of mind. In the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere of our studio, the watercolor lip procedure will be a pleasant step towards transformation, not an ordeal.

Myth #4: “Watercolor lips look unnatural, like they're drawn on.”

The perception of permanent makeup as something “drawn” and unnatural is often associated with outdated techniques and poor quality work of masters. Watercolor lips are a completely different level of skill and aesthetics.

The watercolor technique is designed to enhance your natural beauty, not to “repaint” your face. Light, translucent pigments, applied with delicate “watercolor” movements, blend with your natural lip color, creating the effect of a delicate shade, as if nature has given you such juicy and fresh lips. No sharp contours, unnaturally bright shades or “lipstick for every day” effect - Only harmony, tenderness and natural beauty that emphasizes your individuality. Professionalism of the master, who owns watercolor technique, guarantees exactly natural and flawless result.

Myth #5: Care after permanent lip makeup is agony, watercolor lips are no exception!

Complicated and burdensome care is another fear that can discourage from the procedure of permanent makeup. We hasten to assure you: care after watercolor lips is quite simple and will not require heroic efforts from you!

Of course, like any cosmetic procedure, permanent lip makeup requires compliance with certain recommendations during the healing period. But the basic rules of care are very simple and easily fit into the normal rhythm of life. You will need to: avoid getting your lips wet in the first few days, regularly apply a healing agent, protect your lips from the sun and refrain from active mechanical impact (friction, combing).

All restrictions are temporary and apply mainly during the period of active healing (first few days). For the sake of a beautiful and durable result that will please you for more than one year, this is an insignificant cost!
