Having permanent makeup on your lips is both convenient and beautiful. You never have to worry about your lipstick fading, or finding the right lip liner, or having to wipe lipstick off of everything you drink from. However, before undergoing a permanent makeup procedure on your lips, you have to consider whether the procedure will be effective for you and your lips.

Here at Ruth Swissa Permanent Makeup and Skin, many clients wish to have permanent makeup on their lips to hide lines and wrinkles around their lips. While permanent makeup can make a huge difference to the natural color and definition of your lips, it is not advisable to have permanent makeup applied over lip wrinkles. This can lead to ink colors bleeding along the wrinkles into the skin surrounding your mouth.

Ruth recommends that her patients facing this issue consider contacting a plastic surgeon and having a filler applied to the area around their lips. Once your lips are plumped and primed with filler, then permanent makeup can accentuate the natural shape and color of your lips safely and beautifully!
