PMU Tips(60)--Pigment Temperature & Long-Term Healing Insight and How to Check a Lip Sketch Before Starting Lip Blush

Cold-toned pigments tend to implant into the skin more quickly, which can make the initial result appear faster and more saturated. However, over time, these tones are more likely to shift toward a cooler, slightly bluish undertone.

For this reason, a slower and more controlled implantation approach is often preferred. Although cold pigments require more precision, time, and patience during the procedure, this method helps achieve a cleaner, more stable, and more predictable healed result.

2. How to Check a Lip Sketch Before Starting Lip Blush 

Before starting lip blush, checking the sketch is an important step to ensure balanced design and natural healed results. The lip shape should stay harmonious not only at rest, but also during facial movement.Professional artists usually evaluate the sketch in different positions:

• Relaxed lips — to check natural symmetry
  
• Smiling — to see if proportions stay balanced in expression
  
• “Kiss” position — to observe tension and outline shift
  
• Lips inward or slightly open — to assess border alignment and closure

Reviewing these points before pigment implantation helps ensure a more stable design and a softer, cleaner healed result.
