Lip blush - Semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo procedure

What is Lip blush?

Lip blush is a semi-permanent procedure that acts as a tattoo that involves injecting or depositing soft, sheer pigment directly into the lips to enhance the features, giving a more defined shape, define the lining of the lips and give it a long-lasting tint. 

How does this work?

Lip blush works by using a digital pen or cosmetic tattoo machine by a qualified beauty expert or specialist. The beauty specialist uses fine needles to gently layer pixelated pigment into the upper layers of the lips skin. The beauty specialist or beauty expert can customise the pigment to match your favourite lipstick, or neutralise dark undertones or create a soft ombre gradient that looks like a natural finish. The results from the procedure last 1 to 3 years, gradually fading over time. The healing process involves the colours having a bold and intense look initially, but fading gradually by 40% to 50% within 4 weeks to reveal a final soft-focus shade.

What are the benefits of Lip blush?

Lip blush is perfect for clients looking for a more define look to their lips, it defines, contours and camouflages minor asymmetry or pale spots, such as Fordyce spots without adding a physical bulk like dermal fillers. Lip blush also requires less maintenance than typical daily applications, such as lipsticks or lip liners, though specialists and beauty experts recommend 1 to 2 year touch-ups. 

What are the issues with Lip blush?

Clients should be aware that having Lip blush can trigger cold sores in clients with history of cold sores, so clients will need to use preventative antiviral medication before having this procedure.

What is the difference between Lip filler and lip blush?

Lip filler is an injectable treatment to add volume and reshape the lips, this is to create a fuller and plumper lip and correct asymmetry. These results are immediate, but fade over time, normally lasting 6 to 12 months.

Lip blush, on the other hand is a semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances the lips natural colour and defines the look of the lips. This adds colour and definition without adding volume. Lip blush is idea for those looking to add colour, shape, making a more defined vibrant look. To enhance volume and colour both treatments can be used for optimal results.
