Imagine this. You need not touch up your lips after brunch. You need not worry about staining your teeth with blood-red lipstick. You can wake up to rosy, natural-looking lips.

Semi-permanent makeup is not only making beauty easier but instilling confidence in one's personality. Among the varied semi-permanent makeup embroidery, lip embroidery is a fan-favourite.

And just like with everything, there are speculations and misconceptions built around safe & easy lip embroidery in Singapore. It’s easy to confuse lip embroidery with lip fillers and botox. It's common to feel confused after reading all the faulty news about lipstick compatibility with lip embroidery.

That's why today we're here to debunk these myths and clarify all the confusion.

Myth #1: The lip doesn’t absorb the colour

This myth surfaced because many people didn't see the exact colour on their lips that they had seen in the bottle. Do you know why?

Let's go back to the common way to purchase ordinary lipstick. You try a swatch on the back of your hand. You know you will get almost the same colour on your lip and you do.

However, this technique shouldn't be fully applied when you are going for lip embroidery.

You can of course try the swatch on the back of your hand. But you need to remember (really, remember) that the pigment is implanted into the lip's dermis. For this very reason, the colour will not look as bright as the swatch. The actual colour sets in about week 3 or week 4 depending on your type of skin and pigment used.

In addition, every skin is different in its absorption rate. Our experienced lip embroidery specialists from The Brow Beauty Boutique consult every client basis their skin type and suggest colours that can work best.

Don’t be afraid to mix & match to find your gorgeous fit!

Myth #2: Lip embroidery gives you plump lips

Let’s not confuse botox and fillers with lip embroidery. Botox/ fillers are about the size and lip embroidery is about accentuating lips.

A lip botox or filler is meant to increase the size of your lips, giving you plumped-up lips. Cosmetic or aesthetic specialists carry out this procedure.

However, lip embroidery is different. It places a pigment into the skin, enhancing the outline & improving the colour of the lips. This lip definition gives an impression wherein your lip looks bigger and fuller in size. A semi-cosmetic makeup specialist in Singapore can carry out this procedure for you.

Both procedures do help to achieve a great smile & pout!

Myth #3: The embroidered lips turn stiff

There are all kinds of cosmetic procedures and surgeries out there. But, it's important not to confuse the daunting after-effects of other cosmetic surgeries with lip embroidery. 

A lip embroidery uses organic micro-pigments. These enhance and accentuate the lips.  No kind of restructuring is performed. 

Curve them. Stretch them. Go ahead & make all kinds of faces with your lips – lip embroidery will not make your lips stiff.

Myth #4: Lip embroidery can be done on dry lips

when your lips are in their natural state. This is done to avoid any complications and ensure a smooth, comfortable and painless procedure.

So wait it out till your lips are well-moisturised. We can assure you that it's worth the wait.

Some seasons can impact lips and make them dry. Avoid going in for lip embroidery when your lips are too dry or cracked. It’s just like not bathing with hot water when a portion of our skin has a fresh wound.

A certified lip embroidery artist in Singapore will assess and analyse your lips beforehand. Many suggest doing the procedure

Myth #5: Traditional lip tattoo is the same as lip embroidery

It’s not. There are two major differences.

Firstly, the traditional lip tattoo uses a generic ink tattoo. A lip embroidery uses organic micro-pigments. This is why lip embroidery is also called 'lip-micro pigmentation'.

Secondly, the tattoo penetrates a needle deep into the lip. However, lip embroidery targets the surface of the lip. Many simply refer to it as ‘lip-blush’ as it targets the surface like a blush.

A certified artist with experience can suggest a suitable choice for your lips after a detailed assessment. Our boutique uses state-of-the-art equipment to make the procedure comfortable and pleasant. Some of our clients have merrily dosed off in this kind of comfort!

Myth #6: The lips become darker once lip embroidery fades

No ‘faulty’ job ages well. Be it a carpenter making a substandard table. The low-quality wood can catch pests or break before its time.

Similarly, when it comes to lip embroidery, it’s important to undergo the procedure with an experienced and certified specialist who uses high-quality pigments. When done right, the lip in fact becomes lighter with time. So, break your lips into a curve and smile.

Before we wrap, we will address the pondering question in most minds. ‘Can I wear my lipstick?’

Yes, of course! Once the initial healing process of a few days is over, you can wear your favourite lipstick on embroidered lips!
