Permanent Makeup Correction Techniques

Sissy corrects other technicians’ poor work on a regular basis. If pigment removal is not necessary, she can improve the tattooed makeup using color correction and tattooing techniques:

• Color Adjustment: This technique is used when the shape of the eyebrow, eyeliner, or lip liner tattoo is good but the color is poor such as orange, blue, or purple. 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, but it may take several weeks for the correction color to heal and stabilize to the desired result. Also, more than one appointment for corrective color micropigmentation may be necessary to achieve the best healed coverage.
• Shape Adjustment: 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 makeup tattooing might improve the shape, symmetry or balance of uneven permanent eyeliner or eyebrows. The tattooing necessary to correct the eyebrows or eyeliner may increase their thickness, so Sissy will demonstrate the changes first with temporary pencil. She and her patient will then decide together on the next step to achieve the best looking results. If the extra tattooing will not look good, then some of the old pigment must be removed first before proceeding with micropigmentation.
