5 Insider Secrets to Choosing PMU Lip Pigments (That No One Tells You)
Hey there, lip blush artists and trainers!
Let’s be real—picking the right PMU lip pigments can feel like online dating. You swipe right on a pretty shade, only to find out it fades weird, oxidizes orange, or (worst of all) makes your clients look like they kissed a smurf.
But fear not! As a trusted PMU pigment factory, we’ve seen it all—the good, the bad, and the "why is it changing an unexpected color?!" Today, we’re spilling the tea on how the pros actually choose lip pigments (plus how you can get your own custom-branded colors).
Let’s dive in!
1. "Cool Tone vs. Warm Tone" – The Great PMU Debate
Problem: You pick a gorgeous rosy pink, but on your client’s lips, it turns… pumpkin spice latte.
Solution:
Cool undertones? Go for blue-based pinks (think: fresh rose petals).
Warm undertones? Coral or mauve shades blend naturally.
Pro Tip: Do the "vein test" (blue veins = cool, green veins = warm). If you can’t tell, you’re not alone—just ask us for a custom-mixed shade!
Fun Fact: Our most popular OEM request? A shade called "Not-Too-Pink, Not-Too-Orange" (yes, really).
2. The "Will This Last?" Test (Because No One Wants a Ghost Lip)
Problem: Your client’s lip blush looks amazing… for two weeks. Then it vanishes like your ex’s promises.
Solution:
Check fade patterns – Good pigments age into a soft neutral rose, not patchy gray.
Ask for lab data – We test our pigments for 12+ months (because guessing is so 2010).
Pro Tip: If a supplier can’t show fade tests… run.
Warning: Avoid pigments with heavy metals (unless you want your clients to glow in the dark).
3. "Is This Safe?" – AKA, The ‘Please Don’t Poison Anyone’ Rule
Problem: Some pigments claim to be "safe" but come with more warnings than a Tesla on autopilot.
Solution:
✅ FDA-compliant?
✅ EU-certified?
✅ Heavy metal-free? (Because lead lips are not a trend.)
Our Guarantee: Our pigments are so clean, you could eat them (but please don’t).
4. "Will This Work for Training?" – Because Students Don’t Need More Drama
Problem: Your students’ practice lips look like a toddler’s art project.
Solution:
Temporary staining pigments (washes off in 48h, so no permanent "oops").
Pre-mixed training kits (because nobody has time for 50 failed color blends).
Pro Tip: We offer OEM training sets with YOUR branding—because students should remember your name, not just the pigment.
Trainer Hack: Give students a "color cheat sheet" (we’ll design one for you!).
5. The #1 Question to Ask Before Buying: "Can I Put My Name on It?"
Problem: You love a pigment, but it’s sold everywhere—your clients could buy it online for cheaper.
Solution:
Go OEM! (Private-label your own line.)
Custom shades? Yes.
Your logo on bottles? Yes.
Exclusive to your brand? Absolutely.
Bonus: We handle everything—formula, packaging, compliance—so you can focus on making clients fall in love with their lips.

✔ Look amazing (no weird fading).
