What is PhiLips?

 

 

 

The Lip Full Shading using the Philips Technique (sometimes also referred to as “Philips Shading”) is a permanent makeup technique for enhancing and contouring the lips. Full shading is one of the methods in permanent makeup to give the lips volume, shape, and an even color.

 

 

Lip Full Shading with the Philips Technique

• Full Shading: In the Philips Technique, the entire lip area is shaded to create an even color distribution and a natural gradient. It involves gentle, even pigmentation of the lips, often providing subtle gradients from darker outer edges to lighter inner areas.
• Tools: Highly precise machines and fine needles are used to deposit the pigments into the skin. This ensures even application of the color, resulting in a soft, natural look.
• Color Selection: The Philips Technique allows for the use of various shades, from delicate nude tones to vibrant colors, tailored individually to the client’s skin tone and preferences.
• Result: The lips appear fuller and more symmetrical without a strong “made-up” look. This method aims for a long-lasting result that looks natural and meets the client’s needs.

 

Advantages of the Philips Technique for Lip Full Shading

• Natural Look: Despite the full shading, the end result remains subtle and harmonious without making the lips look artificial.
• Long-Lasting: The pigments used are designed for durability, keeping the lips colored for several years. However, touch-ups may be required.
• Precision: The use of modern equipment ensures extreme precision, allowing for fine and even color coverage.
• Minimally Invasive: The treatment is less invasive compared to traditional tattoos or deep PMU techniques, causing less skin trauma.

 

Neutralizing Dark Lips

Why is Neutralization Important?

Dark or hyperpigmented lips can distort the desired color pigments or make the color appear less vibrant. To avoid this, the lip color is first neutralized to a more neutral tone.

How Does the Process Work?

1. Analysis of Lip Color: The PMU artist assesses the initial color of your lips and determines which neutralizing pigments are needed. Typical undertones in dark lips are blue, violet, or brown.
2. Selection of Neutralizing Pigment: To counteract these undertones, warmer colors are used. Orange, peach, or coral tones work well to neutralize dark undertones. These hues help “brighten” or balance out the dark pigments.
3. Neutralization Session: In an initial session, the neutralizing pigment is applied. This may be done in several layers depending on the intensity of the dark lips. The goal is to bring the lip color to a neutral or warmer range so that the desired final result can be achieved.
4. Healing Time: After neutralization, the skin needs to heal before the next step can be performed. Neutralization may take several weeks to become fully visible.
5. Full Shading: After healing, the actual lip color is applied. Thanks to the previous neutralization, the color will appear more intense and natural.

How Long Does the Entire Process Take?

It depends on the depth of the original lip color. For very dark lips, it may require several sessions and healing phases to achieve the desired result.
