PMU Lip Blush & Liner Techniques 2

Question 1

Which needle configuration is most commonly used for lip blush shading to achieve a soft, diffused color?

Accepted Answer

Magnum or curved magnum

Answer

Magnum or curved magnum needles deliver pigment over a wider area, creating the soft, gradient effect characteristic of lip blush.

Question 2

A client presents with naturally uneven lip pigmentation (hypopigmented patches). What is the best approach before applying lip blush?

Accepted Answer

Apply a color-correcting pigment base first

Answer

A neutralizing or color-correcting base pigment helps even out hypopigmented patches before applying the desired lip blush color.

Question 3

What is the recommended machine speed (Hz) range for lip blush work to minimize trauma and bleeding?

Accepted Answer

60–80 Hz

Answer

A speed of 60–80 Hz is generally preferred for lip work to reduce tissue trauma and excessive bleeding that can dilute pigment.

Question 4

When mapping lip liner symmetry, which facial landmark is used as the central reference point?

Accepted Answer

The philtrum midline

Answer

The philtrum midline is used as the central vertical reference to ensure both sides of the lip liner map are symmetrical.

Question 5

A client's lips appear 'muddy' two weeks after a lip blush session. What is the most likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Incorrect color theory — warm and cool pigments mixed incorrectly

Answer

Muddy results typically occur when warm and cool pigments neutralize each other or when a pigment choice clashes with the client's natural lip undertone.
