Here's a handy tool to use to get familiar with color theory. ⁣ ⁣

I took drawing and painting classes in high school and college where this would have been SUPER useful to use. ⁣ ⁣

In the Permanent Makeup world, we as artists need to keep in mind the pigment color and it's interaction with your skin's undertone, overtone, hair color, and eye color. When healed, certain skin types are more likely to warm up or cool down certain colors. ⁣ ⁣

And when you come in with previous work that's discolored, we have to neutralize that color before we can cover it up, which is why we charge extra for a correction. For red brows, we correct it with green, because red and green are complementary colors. For blue, cool brows, we warm it up with a golden corrector. That's the most basic sense of how color theory is important. ⁣ ⁣

Key take aways:

1. Know the color wheel to better predict healed results on different skin types.⁣

2. Know the color wheel to correct previous work⁣.⁣
