LIP BLUSH
-
Lip Blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo designed to enhance the natural colour and shape of your lips. It gives a soft tint, improving definition and symmetry while creating a fuller, more youthful appearance without fillers or lipstick application.
-
Lip Blush typically lasts between 2 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. The pigment gradually fades over time, and touch-ups can be done to maintain the colour and vibrancy.
-
No, the procedure is relatively painless. We use compounded numbing creams before and during the treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients report feeling only minor discomfort, if any, throughout the process.
-
To prepare, ensure your lips are well-hydrated and exfoliated in the days leading up to the appointment. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before the procedure. If you’re prone to cold sores, it’s recommended to take antiviral medication as a precaution.
-
The initial healing period is about 5-7 days. Your lips may appear darker and more vibrant immediately after the procedure, but the colour will soften as they heal. Minor flaking or dryness is normal, and the final result will be visible after about 4 weeks, when the colour fully settles.
-
Yes, you can still wear lipstick or gloss after the healing process is complete, although many clients find they don’t need it due to the enhanced colour from the Lip Blush. If you do choose to wear additional products, avoid those containing harsh chemicals to maintain the longevity of the tattoo.
-
A Lip Blush appointment usually takes around 2-3 hours. This includes consultation, numbing time, and the actual tattooing process. The duration can vary depending on your specific needs and desired results.
-
Lip Blush is ideal for anyone looking to enhance their natural lip colour, correct asymmetry, or create the appearance of fuller lips. It’s particularly beneficial for those with pale, unevenly pigmented, or thinning lips. It’s also a great low-maintenance option for people who want to avoid daily makeup routines.
-
Aftercare includes keeping your lips moisturised and avoiding picking at any dry or peeling skin. Avoid hot drinks, spicy foods, and strenuous exercise for a few days. You’ll also want to keep your lips protected from the sun and avoid swimming or soaking in water during the healing period.
-
No, Lip Blush does not alter the texture of your lips. It simply adds pigment to enhance colour and definition. Proper aftercare will ensure your lips heal smoothly, and you’ll be left with soft, natural-looking results.
-
Yes, Lip Blush can be customised for all skin tones. The pigment is chosen based on your desired result and natural lip colour to ensure a flattering, personalised look. Your artist will work with you to find the perfect shade for your unique skin tone and preferences.
-
Lip Blush Neutralisation is a specialised procedure aimed at correcting and balancing pigmentation in lips, particularly for those with melanin-rich lips or darker skin tones. This technique involves applying a customised pigment to counteract unwanted hues and tones, such as deep discolouration or uneven pigmentation, resulting in a more natural and uniform lip colour.
-
Results from Lip Blush Neutralisation typically start to show within a few weeks. During the initial healing period, the pigment may appear darker before settling into the corrected colour. For those with melanin-rich lips or darker skin tones, the final results may take up to 4-6 weeks to fully develop, revealing a balanced and refined lip colour.
