The laws of physics act everywhere: the light under the skin refracts, dims, or, for example, reaches colder or warmer shade. After a certain period of time, permanent makeup becomes much lighter, because we see it through the new layer of the epidermis.
Also in permanent makeup in any case do not apply pigments intended for tattoo. The reason is that these have a completely different chemical composition, and there is very high possibility that the pigment will behave unpredictably.

If the after applying the color changes and becomes cold despite the fact that you wanted to make a warm shade, it means that you have chosen the wrong pigments.

Makeup master shouldn’t produce the effect of a painted “puppet” face. In the first procedure it is undesirable to choose very dark colors. You should also choose a contrast level carefully. For example, with a cold skin color better to choose warmer shades, and with warm-beige, on the contrary, use cold pigments.
If the lips are of a cold shade, a warm shade of pigment suits them. When using cold colors (cherry or raspberry shades), your client’s lips may appear bluish. Therefore, always use opposite pigments, so the color will be softer and more natural.
