About Lip Aquarelle Tattoo technique

This technique is also called contour less. Since the contour is not drawn, but only slightly indicated with the same pigment that is applied to the rest of the lips. So, that the lips visually look quite natural. Lips, painted in aquarelle technique, look voluminous, juicy and attractive.


The creation of aquarelle lip makeup takes place in several stages:

  • First, the required shade is selected by mixing several dyes;
  • Lips are treated with disinfectants;
  • Before applying the pigment, a pencil drawing is applied to the lips, if necessary, it is corrected;
  • Next, a local anesthetic is applied;
  • After some time, the selected pigment is applied to the approved drawing. First, he draws a light contour, which is subsequently shaded with dashed movements using a special tool over the entire surface of the lips. The method of small abrupt strokes allows you to achieve the most natural result by alternating the colouring pigment and the natural shade of the lips;
  • Then several more layers of pigment are applied in the same thin layers. Layering is a feature of this tattooing technique due to the translucency of colours and their light, pastel shades;
  • A very important stage of aquarelle tattooing is the so-called correction, which is carried out at the end of the recovery period, that is, after 2-3 weeks. The master evaluates his work, if there are gaps or other shortcomings, he makes corrections.

  • During the recovery period, you should treat painted lips with micellar water and petroleum jelly. It is also recommended to take an anti-herpes drug for 5 days;
  • The recovery period lasts about 2-3 weeks, after reducing the edema and stopping the peeling, the result becomes visible, which usually requires a small correction (the tone is adjusted or an additional fixing layer is applied, the gaps are filled, etc.).
