How to Use Pigment Colors 

By Dr. Lisa Z. Lam

BioTouch pigments can be used alone or mixed to match your client’s skin tone for eyebrows, eyeliner and lip. Follow these general guidelines before using:

MP = Micro Pigment

MB = Microblading pigment

PW = Rose line  powdery lip

PU =  Pure line

• Do not mix pigments of different brands. 
• Shake well each time before use. 
• Never touch pigment bottles or pigment containers with contaminated gloves to prevent cross contamination.

 Usage and color processing

Since the naked eye cannot see the natural undertones of an individual's human skin, we can only select and use pigments based on the visual visibility evaluation and the pigments are also made of a variety of mixed shades . When doing a procedure the pigment enters the inner skin  Unpredictable changes will appear and become another comprehensive color. The most common color change is the blueish or excessively reddish, or even purple, orange, pink and other comprehensive colors in between. So in this  Under the natural law, pre-add color under the experience of using pigment-prevent discoloration, or wait on the color that appears after healing, to neutralize or correct the color deviation as needed.

There are a few basic principles behind choosing the right lip color for your Client:

1. Choose a color that is redder than their natural lip, that way, the color will show through their natural tone. The color should provide contrast or highlight to the original lip tone.
2. Avoid using pigments that are too similar to the Client’s lip color, it will blend into the lip and will not produce the best desired results.
3. For darker lips, you must use a brighter color. You may also apply Cream Rose or Beige Pigment as the primer first, then add the desired colors after. The best option for darker lips is warm colors like Chicago Rose, Flaming Rose, and Fuchsia Rose. Generally, soft colors are not suitable for Clients with darker natural lips. For example, we avoid using cold colors like Pink Rose or Berry Rose for the dark lips color.
4. Blush Rose or mixing it into other colors is the best option for natural-looking lips. One of our most popular colors for mixing is Blush Rose.

The procedure process to apply the Rose Line Lip Series should be done through

 Powdery Shading and Ombré techniques. It consists of very gentle and quick swipes of the Digital 1 prong needle to create multiple thin layers of pigment on the lip.

Powdery Rose Lip line Selection:

Cream Rose

2. All the colors are mixed from different shades of raw materials.
