The great mistake of mineral pigment colors in the PMU world
Share
There are many misunderstandings in the permanent make-up (PMU) industry, especially when it comes to choosing the right pigment colors. A colleague recently told me with great conviction that she only works with natural, mineral and biological micropigment colors. These colors are not only "better", but also safer. But what about durability and color change in the area of eyebrows?
Mineral pigments in eyebrows - the fallacy
My curiosity was awakened and I asked her how she could get along with these colors when pigmentation of eyebrow. Her answer was sobering: "It doesn't last long and the color quickly turns red, but that cannot be changed."
Unfortunately, this is a widespread mistake. Mineral - more precisely, inorganic - eyebrow pigments usually have a durability of a maximum of six to twelve months. After that, the color not only fades, but often switches into an unsightly red tone. This color change is inevitable and a well -known phenomenon in mineral pigments.
Why do mineral pigments become red?
Mineral pigments often consist of metal oxides that naturally develop a reddish discoloration if they oxidize over time. Especially with eyebrows, this can lead to unesthetic results that affect the natural look.
Nevertheless, many retailers still offer mineral eyebrow micropigment colors, although it is known that they can lead to red eyebrows. It is often argued that these pigments are ideal for beginners PMU beginners because they fade faster and "forgive" mistakes. The problem? What looks like a gentle fading usually develops into a red -related nightmare after a year.
The disadvantages of mineral pigments in the PMU
This is fatal for permanent make-up beginners. While you may be satisfied with the results at first, the real problem shows after a few months: Customers do not return when they have to run around with red eyebrows. In an industry that relies strongly on trust and recurring customers, this is a serious problem.
Shortly after the introduction of the REACH regulation, we also dipped into the "mineral trap". Fortunately, we quickly realized that these pigments do not deliver the best results in the long term and have switched back to organic colors in the area of eyebrow pigmentation.
Organic pigments-the better choice for PMU users
Organic pigments have proven to be more durable and aesthetically appealing. They not only offer better color stability, they also do not develop unwanted red stitch. Organic pigment colors are particularly advantageous in the area of eyebrows because they ensure a natural and long -lasting color.
While many believe that organic pigments are only suitable for experienced PMU professionals, our experience shows that even beginners can easily work with organic colors after a well-founded training. The results speak for themselves: less rework and more satisfied customers who are permanently happy with the color of their eyebrows.
The comparison: mineral vs. organic pigments
Durability:
• Mineral pigments: Fad faster, often within 6 to 12 months.• Organic pigments: Offer a longer durability and need to be reworked less frequently.
Color change:
• Mineral pigments: Develop a red stitch over time.• Organic pigments: Stable remain in color and do not change into reddish.
Use for beginners:
• Mineral pigments: Are often recommended because they fade faster, but with unwanted color changes.• Organic pigments: Are also suitable for beginners if they have well -founded training.
Conclusion: the right choice of pigments
The choice of the right pigments is crucial for the success of a permanent make-up studio. While mineral pigments may appear tempting initially, their weaknesses - especially the red stitch - show up quickly. Organic pigments, on the other hand, offer long -term aesthetic and more satisfactory results. So if you rely on permanent results, you should rely on organic pigments.
