Candy lips is a semi-permanent makeup procedure designed to enhance the natural color and shape of the lips. It provides a subtle, tinted effect, similar to wearing a light lip stain.
Understanding Candy Lips Treatment
The candy lips treatment involves injecting pigments into the surface layer of the dermis to create a natural-looking lip color. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:
-
Semi-Permanent Makeup: Unlike permanent tattoos, candy lips is semi-permanent, meaning the color will fade over time (typically 1-3 years), requiring touch-ups to maintain the desired intensity.
-
Pigment Injection: The procedure uses a specialized machine to gently implant pigment into the lips. The technician carefully selects a pigment shade that complements the client's skin tone and desired lip color.
-
Natural Look: Compared to filler injections or traditional permanent makeup, candy lips aims for a more subtle and natural enhancement. The result is a soft, diffused color that enhances the lips' natural shape and tone.
