Dark Lips Balance™ is an exclusive dermopigmentation, neutralisation and colour-balancing method for dark lips, created by Maryna Jay. This permanent lip makeup (PMU) treatment is specifically designed for medium, dark, mixed-race and Mediterranean skin tones where the lips may have purplish, bluish, greyish or dark brown undertones.
Unlike conventional permanent makeup techniques, Dark Lips Balance™ does not conceal the lips’ natural colour. It analyses and gradually neutralises unwanted undertones to reveal a more harmonious balance while fully respecting each client’s melanin and natural identity.
Dark Lips Balance™ is part of Maryna Jay’s broader expertise in permanent makeup in Paris, with particular attention to colour theory, melanin and healed results. This approach is also closely connected to her work in dermopigmentation for medium and dark skin tones and permanent lip makeup.
I had very pigmented lips with uneven lines that had made me self-conscious for years. Maryna reshaped them with incredible precision while keeping a natural look. The result brought tears to my eyes.

It’s extremely hard to find a true dark lip specialist. I hesitated for a long time because many don’t know how to treat them properly. Maryna immediately put me at ease with her expertise and kindness. The natural, luminous result is beyond what I imagined.

Chaque traitement débute par une consultation approfondie à Paris, durant laquelle j’analyse précisément votre carnation, la saturation pigmentaire actuelle de vos lèvres et vos attentes esthétiques. C’est lors de cet échange que je vous explique en détail les étapes de la méthode Dark Lips Balance™, un processus sur mesure de neutralisation puis de pigmentation.
The complete dermopigmentation protocol takes place over several sessions spaced several weeks apart:
Neutralisation: layer-by-layer application of exclusive warm corrective pigments to neutralise blue, grey or purplish areas of dark lips.
Harmonisation: once the base tone has stabilised, a soft final colour (pink, peach or nude) is applied according to your preferences.
Touch-up: an essential finishing session to set the pigments, perfect the colour balance and ensure optimal longevity.
The pigments used are REACH-compliant, biocompatible, offer excellent colour stability, and are specifically selected to enhance the beauty of pigmented skin tones.
Maryna Jay’s dermopigmentation for dark lips is much more than simple permanent lip makeup: it is a haute couture approach designed to reveal the natural harmony of your lips.
People with dark or uneven lip pigmentation may sometimes feel a discrepancy between their natural beauty and the appearance of their smile in everyday life.

Personalised and thorough follow-up is provided between each dermopigmentation session to support you throughout the healing process and ensure the best possible development of your final result.
Dark or uneven lip pigmentation (whether natural, linked to smoking, or resulting from a previous unsuccessful pigmentation) can be neutralised using a suitable dermopigmentation technique, such as Dark Lips Balance. The goal is to achieve a lighter, more even and natural-looking tone, without ever forcing an artificial result.
Generally, 2 to 3 sessions are needed, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve a gradual and lasting result. The exact number depends on the intensity of the initial pigmentation and the natural complexion of the lips.
Yes, this is actually one of the key points of attention: the choice of pigments and technique must be adapted to each person's natural complexion to avoid a result that is too light, too pink, or unnatural-looking. This is why a prior assessment (ideally based on a photo) is recommended before any session.
Like any permanent makeup, the neutralising effect fades slightly over time. A touch-up is generally recommended 12 to 18 months after the last session to maintain the result.
Yes, this is actually recommended. Sending a photo of your lips beforehand allows for an early assessment of your situation and a personalised opinion before you commit to a session.
