Lip Blush

What is Lip Blush?

 Lip blushing is a semi-permanent tattoo that can enhance the color and shape of your lips and give the impression of more fullness. This is done by depositing color ink into your lips and along your lip line to improve the overall look. The color is subtle to give natural-looking results. Lip Blushing can enhance your shape, camouflage imperfections, and enhance or restore your natural lip color. 

​

How long does it last?

The resulting lip tattoo is subtle, not saturated, thanks to recent advances in semipermanent makeup. Results last 3 - 5 years . Touch ups are needed Based on client preferences and lifestyle.

How to Prepare for it

​

You may need to prep for your lip blush tattoo several weeks in advance of your appointment—and potentially talk to your doctor before going under the needle.

​

Unfortunately you may have to skip lip blush tattoos if you:

  • are pregnant or nursing

  • take Accutane (isotretinoin), steroids, or blood-thinning medication

  • suffer from cold sores, or

  • are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation

​

If none of the above conditions apply to you, or if approved by your doctor,  make sure your lips are generally healthy and hydrated before your service, especially if you're prone to seasonal flakiness.

​

Make sure to prep lips a few days before your tattoo with daily applications of lip scrub and balm. Skin should be smooth, soft, and hydrated before the procedure to allow for even pigment saturation and proper healing overall. 

​

Also, no to cocktails the day before your lip blushing service; experts recommend avoiding alcoholic drinks for at least 24 hours prior.

​

If you're unsure whether you're an ideal candidate for lip blushing, schedule some time to chat with your chosen artist before your appointment;
