For Results That Pop

"Xion SOpens a new window has been my bestie for years. This machine has a high-torque motor and can push the needle hard at minimal volume. While other machines need a higher voltage to get the same results, Xion S can do the job at minimal speeds.

No matter how you move your hand, Xion S creates Instagram-worthy pixels. If you're looking for beautiful velvet coverage, this machine is for you. In addition, you can play with different give settings and cam wheels — there's so much to do!"

For Pucker-Perfect Shades

"I use EvenfloOpens a new window which offers a wide range of pigment shades specifically designed for lip blush procedures. These pigments are of high-quality, long-lasting, and made with safe ingredients.

Evenflo lip blush pigments have a smooth consistency, allowing for easy application and blending. This will ensure even and consistent results. I try to avoid products that are too thick or too thin, as they may compromise the final outcome. If you are new to Evenflo, try BareOpens a new window, Lulu's RoséOpens a new window and MalinaOpens a new window. If you would like to explore pigments for lip neutralization, check out our pre-modified pigments from the Dark Lips Expert SetOpens a new window. They are fantastic!"

For Flawless Outlines & Fills

"For effortless pigment implantation, I use Vertix PicoOpens a new window, a PMU cartridge line that offers a wide range of needle configurations specifically designed for PMU procedures. Lately, I've been using thicker needles like 1 RL 0.38 LT textured for fast pigment depositing. It works very well. To create a defined, sharp contour, I use 1 RL 0.25 LT."
