Skin tones and undertones
Skin has its own colour, so implanting the same colour pigment on different people will not look the same. The pigments have to be blended individually for each person to suit their skin tone so that the perfect colour is achieved.
Skin tone analysis is a vital part of the consultation as your permanent make up specialist can then accurately assess what she needs to use to get the correct colour balance for your permanent makeup.
It’s not just a case of mixing a colour and applying it, your makeup artist is skilled in understanding colour theory when added to skin tone. This is to avoid warm skin tones looking too pink/orange and cool skin tones looking too blue/purple. Skin tone always has to be taken into account before mixing your permanent makeup pigments.
