Fitzpatrick pigments for Different Fitzpatrick Skin Types

Perma Blend offers a variety of pigments designed for specific Fitzpatrick scale groups. For instance, the Tones of Perma Blend Set - Fitz 3-4 and the Tones of Perma Blend - Fitz 5-6 are designed to provide more choice for specific Fitzpatrick scale groups.

For example, the LUXE - Barely Brown pigment is a delicate, lighter cooler brown color with medium opacity, suitable for Fitzpatrick 1,2 skin types. On the other hand, the LUXE - Fig pigment is a darker and slightly cooler color that harmonizes with melanin-rich skin types, suitable for Fitzpatrick 4,5,6 skin types.

The Perma Blend - Blackish Brown Tattoo Ink is recommended for Fitzpatrick 4-6, and can be blended with another Perma Blend professional tattoo ink to create your preferred shade. It's a popular permanent makeup ink for clients with thick, full brows and also serves as a lovely eyeliner color.

Quality and Safety

Fitzpatrick pigments are known for their high quality and safety standards. Each batch of permanent makeup pigments is tested for consistency and safety, ensuring that there are no harmful additives. The pigments are designed to ensure maximum color concentration for lasting, true results that never shift or change.

Usage and Handling

Before use, the Fitzpatrick pigments should be shaken for at least one minute. After pouring, the lid should be securely sealed and returned to its storage area. To change the consistency of the Perma Blend pigments, only Perma Blend Shading Solutions should be used. The pigments should not be mixed with water or other thinning agents.

The Fitzpatrick scale, also known as the Fitzpatrick skin type, is a classification system for skin color. It was developed by Thomas B. Fitzpatrick and is based on the amount of melanin present in the skin, how the skin reacts to sun exposure, and the skin's tendency to sunburn or tan. This scale is often used in the field of dermatology and aesthetics, including when selecting pigments for procedures like permanent makeup and microblading.

Pigments for Different Fitzpatrick Skin Types

When it comes to selecting pigments for different Fitzpatrick skin types, it's important to consider the client's natural skin tone and how their skin responds to sun exposure. For instance:

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 2: Clients with this skin type have a fair or pale skin color, with blue, gray, or green eyes. Their natural hair color is blonde. When exposed to the sun, their skin usually freckles, burns and peels often, and rarely tans. Lighter pigments are typically used for these clients.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 3: Clients with this skin type have a fair to beige skin color with golden undertones, with hazel or light brown eyes. Their natural hair color is dark blonde or light brown. When exposed to the sun, their skin might freckle, burns on occasion, and sometimes tans. A range of pigments can be used for these clients, depending on their specific skin tone and hair color.

Fitzpatrick Skin Type 4: Clients with this skin type have an olive or light brown skin color, with dark brown eyes. Their natural hair color is dark brown. When exposed to the sun, their skin doesn't really freckle, burns rarely, and tans often. Darker pigments are typically used for these clients.

Quality and Safety

When selecting pigments, it's important to choose high-quality products that are safe for use on the skin. For instance, AP Fitzpatrick is known to supply a wide range of carefully selected fine art materials, including Kremer Pigments, which are fine artists pigments, binders, resins, and waxes. These pigments can be used in conjunction with binders to make your own paints.

The Fitzpatrick scale is a useful tool for selecting pigments for different skin types. By understanding a client's skin type and how their skin responds to sun exposure, professionals can choose the most suitable pigments for procedures like permanent makeup and microblading. As always, it's important to choose high-quality, safe pigments to ensure the best results.
