Mastering the Basics of Pigments in PMU
Mastering the Basics of Pigments in PMU
Understanding pigments is key to ensuring flawless and long-lasting permanent makeup (PMU) results. In this guide, we’ll explore essential knowledge about organic and inorganic pigments, their unique properties, and how to choose the best options for your PMU practice. Along the way, we’ll introduce some of the premium products available on our website to help you achieve exceptional outcomes.
Organic vs. Inorganic Pigments: What’s the Difference?
1. Composition and Molecular Structure
- Organic Pigments: These pigments have smaller molecular structures, making them lightweight and ideal for producing bright, vivid colors.
- Inorganic Pigments: With larger molecular weights, these pigments offer muted, natural tones that are excellent for creating subtle effects in PMU applications.

2. Application Techniques
- Organic Pigments: Apply with light pressure and space strokes slightly apart to avoid oversaturation. Typically, 2–3 passes are enough for even results.
- Inorganic Pigments: Use closer strokes with more layers (3–4 passes) for richer color and better coverage, especially for areas like brows or lips.
For precise application, our PMU Microblading Tools ensure smooth and controlled strokes.
3. Longevity and Color Stability
Organic pigments tend to fade more quickly due to UV exposure and skin enzymes, while inorganic pigments are more stable over time. For optimal results, always select pigments tailored to the specific procedure and client needs.
How to Identify Pigment Concentration
Testing pigment concentration is a simple but effective way to determine coverage and intensity:
- Drop a small amount of pigment onto a wet cotton pad.
- Press the pad onto a piece of white paper.
- Observe the spread: vibrant and opaque pigments indicate higher concentration, while lighter tones suggest lower concentration.
Our Hybrid Pigments blend organic and inorganic properties to provide the best of both worlds, perfect for versatile PMU techniques.
Decoding Pigment Labels
Reading pigment labels is an essential skill for PMU professionals:
- CI Numbers Starting with "77": Indicate inorganic components.
- Other CI Numbers: Represent organic pigments.
- Mixed CI Numbers: Suggest hybrid pigments with combined properties.
For example, our Charmingtattoo Pigment Range includes detailed CI information, ensuring transparency and helping you make informed decisions.
