Complete guide: Nuva Color 85 Rustic 15ml
Professional micropigmentation pigment designed for eyebrows, in a warm, earthy shade — a natural brown with warm undertones, intended for an authentic and delicate result. It is part of the Nuva Colors range, formulated in the USA with vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, compliant with EU REACH regulations. The 15 ml bottle with an anti-contamination system is aimed at PMU artists working with clients with Fitzpatrick phototypes 1–4, light to medium skin and natural warm hair tones.
How to use
- Check the integrity of the bottle, the seal and the expiration date before each procedure.
- Shake the bottle well until the pigment is completely homogeneous — pigments can separate during storage.
- Dispense only the necessary amount into a sterile, disposable pigment cup; never insert the needle directly into the bottle.
- Close the bottle immediately after dispensing, so the anti-contamination system can do its job and the pigment remains clean between sessions.
- Work with PMU equipment and sterile disposable needles or cartridges, building intensity gradually, layer by layer — the pigment's consistency allows for even and controlled application.
- If the shade needs to be adjusted, mix it with other pigments or modifiers from the Nuva system and note the exact proportions used.
- At the end of the procedure, discard the remaining pigment in the cup — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Provide the client with your post-procedure care instructions and schedule the result evaluation at the touch-up, after complete healing.
Tips from us
- Choose the shade according to the skin undertone and natural hair color: Rustic is described by the manufacturer as suitable for chestnut or light brown hair, in warm tones, on light to medium skin (Fitzpatrick I–IV).
- Keep in mind that the healed shade looks different from the freshly implanted one — evaluate the final color only after complete healing, not immediately after the session.
- Take advantage of the 'blend' property of this shade: it can be layered or mixed with modifiers for precise control over tone and intensity.
- Note in the client's file the shade, batch number and any mixtures, so you can exactly reproduce the result at the touch-up.
- Store the bottle tightly closed, protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and note the date of first opening.
Warning: Permanent makeup pigments are intended exclusively for trained artists working under strict hygiene conditions: disposable gloves, protective barriers on equipment, disinfected surfaces and sterile needles or cartridges used only once. Always conduct a prior consultation with the client (allergy history, contraindications) — many artists also perform a sensitivity test before the procedure. Pigment dispensed into a cup is never reused on another client.
Frequently asked questions
What type of clients is shade 85 Rustic suitable for?▾
Rustic is a warm and earthy shade — a natural brown with subtle warm undertones — recommended by the manufacturer for clients with natural warm hair tones (chestnut, light brown) and light to medium skin. It is indicated for phototypes 1–4 on the Fitzpatrick scale and gives an organic, authentic look to the eyebrows, without being too intense or too light.
Can I mix Rustic with other pigments or modifiers?▾
Yes. The manufacturer confirms that Nuva 85 can be mixed with other pigments or modifiers from the range for exact adjustment of shade and intensity, and its 'blend' property makes it suitable precisely for such combinations. Always note the mixing proportions in the client's file so you can reproduce the result at the touch-up.
How do I properly store the pigment between sessions?▾
Shake it well before each use, dispense only as much as you need into sterile disposable cups, and close the bottle immediately — the anti-contamination system of the bottle only helps if the bottle stays closed. Never pour leftover pigment back into the bottle. Store it in a cool place, away from direct light, note the opening date and respect the expiration date.
Is this pigment compliant with European regulations?▾
Yes. According to the manufacturer, Nuva Colors pigments are fully compliant with EU regulations, including REACH, and each bottle is sterilized and tested. The formula is declared vegan and cruelty-free, made in the USA.
How many procedures can I do with a 15 ml bottle?▾
The exact number depends on your technique, the area worked on, and how many mixtures you make, so there is no universal figure. The manufacturer mentions, however, that the pigments in the range are efficient and that one bottle lasts for many permanent makeup sessions, which makes the 15 ml format an economical one for professional use.
Does the color remain warm even after healing?▾
The manufacturer describes the Rustic shade as one that maintains its warm character even after healing, and the formula is designed for predictable results. As with any PMU pigment, the final result also depends on the client's skin undertone, technique and post-procedure care — therefore the correct color evaluation is only done at the touch-up, after complete healing.
