Permanent makeup corrections can either be the color, shape, or both. Color mishaps are unfortunately not uncommon, due to the preponderance of bad tattoo inks and poor application techniques. It is important to use pigments by manufacturers that have a proven track record and tattoo artists who are not afraid to show you more than just a few pictures of their work.
Permanent Makeup color correction is used when the shape of the eyebrow, eyeliner, or lip liner tattoo is good but the color is poor. When assessing correctional work to be performed on the area, it is important to first remove the unwanted color, and then add the desired color. A corrective pigment color is implanted (tattooed) over the faded makeup to neutralize it toward a more natural shade. Usually, the improvement is immediately noticeable.
Remember, you cannot make a bucket of blue paint turn brown by pouring more brown into the bucket. You must lift the color or neutralize the color. Color corrections take time to fix.
Shape mishaps happen when the technician lacks artistic ability or is in a hurry. It is so important that the client approves the final shape that is drawn on the skin. This step should never be rushed.
Sometimes the shape of permanent eyebrows or lip liner is not terrible, yet it would look better with a few changes. In these cases, additional tattooing might improve the shape, symmetry or balance. The tattooing necessary to correct the eyebrows, eyeliner or lips may increase their thickness. If the extra tattoo ink does not look good, then some of the old pigment must be removed first before proceeding with micropigmentation.
