[@janeadonis361]

I have never come acrossed such informative and easy to learn color theory video like this! You instantly thought me how to process and evaluate the client's lips first before selecting what's the right ink to use. You made it very simple and precise. AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HELPFUL AND SHOWING YOUR TIPS. ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO FOR COLOR THEORY RIGHT HERE

[@rinkledua2561]

[@ellenflorida7606]

This lesson is literally priceless! Thank you so much for being generous, and giving PMU community this amazing gift of knowledge!

[@MsInesite]

Thank you soooo much ... I learned colour theory for dark lips almost a year , You changed my life ❤❤❤

[@ednasolis2430]

Amazing info, I’m new to lip blushing and I just instantly fell in love with this procedure, and the course I took went into little detail about neutralization, so this helped me soooo much more in depth😊

[@Radey-7]

13:04 - 14:15 very useful how the pigments were summarised and put into groups. I just completed the online dark lip training and was looking for this type of summary. May be useful to add

[@cdurden10]

Hi there , where did you do your online training? If you don’t mind sharing .

[@peerlessstrategies]

Phenomenal video!! Tysm for educating us 💗

[@iblessyou.forextrablessing7597]

Thank you so much. I quarrel with my model. I insist to use Tatoo pigment to neutralise lips. My Perma blend can only perform well in the centre. I understand this trauma. It’s a sure thing. So sure. Aftercare lip balm moisture . As long as client is willing to go on that journey a few sessions lips start to stabilise. I use pink as taught in class. But mind you for dark portions pink for semi permanent ink don’t work well . Trauma getting frustrating. I use thin thin needles. I am left with lip frame. Where my pink is not performing. So I am here

16:07 where are you located bc I want this procedure done but I do not want anybody just playing around with my lips… especially when you showed the pic of what could go wrong. I want you to do my lip blushing. You really went in and explained in great detail colors and your process. I would totally trust you ❤

[@Prettyinkbyamy]

You are so knowledgeable, thank you so much for teaching 💖

[@wewereads]

very informative ..thanks

[@junkmail1111]

This is so informative and helpful, thank you! 😊

[@lorim.3697]

So I see the question asked when determining the clients ( lip color), you responded bottom lip. There is a spot in your video , where what I saw was pink, but you said her lips were ( purple), that threw me off big time . Sorry I didn’t jot down the video time frame, any idea? Also can you provide the online courses you offer, as well as their cost ? Thanks and great information and video . Since I’m a colorist, hoping that knowledge will help me out in the pmu endeavor. 🙏😇

I have dark skin, and I got hypo pigmentation from lip tattoo. Its been a month already, I still see parts of the lip that look very pink. Hope it get recover... :( There are many people out in this market they dont know what they are doing. So be careful about who you choose to do this procedure with. I learned my lesson in very hard way. @Tess your video is very informative, thanks. I hope it save lot of people from getting permanent discolouration

[@Tesstattoo]

It takes 6-8 weeks for the tattoo to completely heal! Sometimes it can be a normal part of the process! (Not sure if you watched the end of the video). However in some cases, damage can be done and I agree, artists need training for this - the problem is that some artists don’t care enough to invest to make themselves better when they know they need it. I hope your lips heal perfect and I hope this video can help others avoid mistakes! 💓

Lip neutralization was tried on me. She used what looked to be neon orange. It was very painful and all of the ink seemed to come out over the next few days. (There was orange on my washcloth when I washed my face.) My lips are still their natural color.

[@priscillamonarrezfitness4666]

Hi Tess, the first session do you mix a pink with the orange? Or do you just tattoo the whole lip orange first ?

[@kt5983]

Good Morning! ☺️ … and, again, Tess, thank you, I have taken many of your classes and enjoy them, each time! I believe what you’re being asked is where can they get the color wheels/saturation charts, etc on THEIR iPad like you have on yours. I would imagine it is a program, of sorts… anyway, I hope that was of help to you both. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you, again, for sharing all of your expertise! 😍🙏🏽

Hi! I am studying lip brushing now, but my clients are almost Asia people, who want the result that pink lips even they have dark lip. So, I used pink, but the result was not good, got a bit purple lip, how can I fix this situation? Do you think I should use orange color? Or yellow color? 😢 Please advise for me..

[@alessicapryor5202]

Can you do one on darker skin complexion ? Face and body

[@janeerosa3354]

Do you do the neutralization then have them come back for the color of their choice once healed?

[@browboutiquelondonmicrobla527]

So if i use yellow & orange to neutralize dark lips fitz 6, what would be the target color?

[@bestfemaletattooartistmumbai]

Oh I didn’t know you can use tattoo pigments. Is it safe to use these tattoo pigments on lips 🎉eyebrows too?

[@adebisiakp1778]

Thank you very much

[@joylopez9126]

Hey Tess. I have a pink pigment that has blue in it. Am I able to use it with clients Fitz 1-3? Or do you recommend not to use pigments with any blue/black/violet on any lip?

[@nouralhuda6101]

thank you so much for this info

[@Tesstattoo]

Thank you!!

[@Theguywhodoesthings]

the last part scares me

[@chelsiehannon5408]

Tess - do you recommend using the same hue but varying the saturation of the color based on which parts of the clients' lips are more and less saturated? For example, one of the clients in the video has low saturation and lower value in the outside parameters of the lips and more saturation/higher value in the middle of the lips, so theoretically couldn't you use a less saturated orange in the middle and a more saturated orange in the parameters to make the overall healed results look the same throughout the lips?

[@Tesstattoo]

Hi Chelsie, you can get even results without all that extra work and here’s how it works in color theory: As we know, complimentary colors neutralize each other whereas analogous colors blend in easily together and do not neutralize. What we are trying to neutralize in dark lips is the darkness (value). We aren’t trying as much to neutralize saturation or hue. So therefore our main goal is to neutralize the value to be lighter. The brightest and lightest colors on the color wheel are yellow and orange and we consider all dark lips as “cool” because the darkest and most dull colors on the color wheel are blue and purple which share the most similar color characteristics to dark lips. The inner part of the lips is already light. So when you use a bright and light orange, what happened as is it blends in with what is similar to itself (the inner pink part), but neutralizes the opposite to itself (cool and dark areas), to create one uniform final result. If you check out all my healed results they all come out perfectly uniform without targeting special areas. Hope this helps!

[@chelsiehannon5408]

@@Tesstattoo wow, the fact that you spent so much time providing such a thorough answer makes me respect you even more than I already did! Thank you so much; your explanation makes total sense. Can’t wait to take a class with you in person!

Thank you for sharing your skills with the world. I am a new PMU artist. While working on a client at my hair salon, God randomly led me to this video, which was soooo informative and helpful. I was instantly sold on learning from you. I have now enrolled in the online course, and am excited to learn more about lip neutralization. That small investment will change my life and the lives of others for the better. I'm looking forward to tripling my income, while working less, through PMU. You are the best at what you do and a huge inspiration. Thank you for being willing to help others. I hope to one day meet you❤ God bless

So if the client is really dark do you use all yellow or do you mix in the Orange. You didn’t mention orange when you showed the girl with lots of melanin .

I see u use tattoo ink for pmu. What’s the difference between Pmu ink and tattoo ink ?

[@punkvala246]

Hi, can I ask you why do you use tattooing inks as neutralizers instead of using pmu neutralizers? Don’t they have strange healed results?

[@Tesstattoo]

Tattoo inks usually have stronger healed results.

[@mells3679]

Does this same concept apply when neutralizing darkness in the body (such as the arm, leg, buttock etc)

[@Tesstattoo]

It can be done! I wouldn’t do it anywhere else but nipples/scars and stretch marks as far as tattooing goes

[@bbygrlpt2]

Does this workd for uneven lips??

[@brain2777]

@Tess, can these hypo pigmentation can be corrected? if its permanent?

I recommend to see a dermatologist or doctor. I know many will recommend hydrocortisone cream. 💓 Overtime it can get better also, you can see an experience artist to get it properly evened out!
