You may replace your permanent lip color with conventional lipstick at any time, regardless of what color you have put permanently. However, you can be certain that your permanently made-up lips will always look beautiful. They won't fade or wear off like temporary tattoos would! There are several things to consider before changing your lip color regularly. The first thing to know is how long it takes for your skin to recover after being exposed to the sun or a chemical peel. If you plan to go swimming or have a hot bath then it's best to wait until your skin has had time to heal. Otherwise, you might end up with a red face or peeling skin if you go against this rule. Permanently colored lips will usually last between four and six weeks when used as directed on the packaging. However, you can extend the life of your color by avoiding direct sunlight, using an antioxidant-rich moisturizer, and eating a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables. Changing your lipstick too often will only cause your lips to become dry and flaky. If you work in an environment where you are required to wear makeup then it's best to get professional advice before starting. Some employers may not be happy to learn that you regularly change your lip color, while others may encourage you to experiment with new looks.
