What is Lip Blush?
Lip Blush creates a soft blush of color to your lips. This technique can enhance the natural shape of your lips and giving an illusion of fullness. The final results fade up to 50% and look very natural, like a blush. This technique can also correct dark lips, which will require multiple sessions. We have tons of pigment options that can be customized to find the perfect color for your lips!
​
Note: Only available for virgin lips.
FAQs
HOW LONG WILL LIP BLUSH LAST?
This technique can last an average of between 1-3 years. Over time, the tattoo will fade lighter and shrink around the edges. How fast it fades depends on your skin type, lifestyle, age, and how often you go back for touch-ups.
​
HOW DO TOUCHUPS WORK?
A first touch-up is recommended around the 8-12 week timeframe after the initial appointment. All clients’ skin takes in permanent makeup differently therefore, this ‘perfecting’ session can darken or thicken the shape if necessary. After the perfecting session, clients may come back for touch-ups as needed. It is not necessary to get a touch-up annually if the color is still intact. Preserving the integrity of the skin is better in the long run. Usually, clients come in at the 1-2 year mark.
