SPMU LIPS

Semi-Permanent Makeup

First thing to know SMPU is a tattoo where cosmetic pigment is being placed into your skin. Semi-permanent means it not a forever fix, it will fade over time, and that if you want to keep your lips looking vibrant, top up appointments will be needed to maintain this look, however is will not fade away completely.

You may quite possibly always be left with strikes of pigment under your skin even 10 years from now. Cosmetic tattoo pigments are made up of smaller molecules than traditional tattoo ink which means that they’re able to break down naturally in your body over time.

Cosmetic tattooing when done correctly is not implanted into the skin as deep as traditional body tattoos so will fade as your skin cells regenerates. Everyone’s bodies will process the pigment differently based on biology, as well as your lifestyle choices affecting the longevity of the tattoo 

(example smoking)

This is still a tattoo, so before anyone tells you any differently, bare in mind regardless if you refresh your lip blush annually or not, you may still be left with a shadow or very faded lip line if you don’t wish to continue with annual top ups, which of course you should.
