The Donda lip pigments are five shades named after female archetypes — Marylin, Madame, Kim, Geisha, Barbie. It's important to note that this palette is not a tonal gradient — it is a selection of five characters, each with a different aesthetic logic.
Donda Lip Pigments — Choosing by Character Rather Than Number
Most PMU lip palettes offer a broad spectrum from nude to deep wine, organised by number or lightness. Donda offers five shades with names encoding character rather than tone.
Marylin carries the image of classic Hollywood allure — likely a warm, classic nude or warm pink. Madame implies mature, refined elegance — a more restrained tone without aggressive saturation. Kim is associated with a modern, naturalistic lip aesthetic — nude to a natural shade. Geisha carries Japanese sensitivity — perhaps a cooler, understated tone. Barbie is the only openly saturated, warm-pink archetype in the series.
It's important to note that unlike the associations above, the specific shades are not officially documented in the catalogue — only one of the five has a warm base specified in the system. This means that when choosing between shades, the specialist relies on direct knowledge of the product or a consultation with us.
The Absence of Correctors — A Practical Note
Unlike Peinto (N9–N12 lip correctors) and AS Company, Donda does not offer specialised lip correctors in this series. It's important to note that when correction of a previous lip PMU procedure is needed, the specialist must work with correctors from another brand — when choosing one, a compatible hybrid formula is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you choose a shade without a tonal base in the catalogue?
The only reliable way is to know the specific shade from practice or after a patch test application. Contact us for additional information on any specific shade.
Can five shades cover a complete lip PMU practice?
For specialists with a moderately varied client base — yes, especially with active mixing between shades. For a broader tonal range, combining with pigments from another series is advisable.
Why are there no Donda lip correctors?
The line does not include these in the available range. When lip pigmentation correction is needed, use compatible hybrid correctors from another brand.
