LIP BLUSH INTRODUCTION

Before an appointment can be booked, all potential clients must read the Lip Blush Contraindications list to confirm they are within the guidelines. It is also recommended that you read this full "Lip Blush Introduction" page so you are fully informed about the service. Once you have reviewed the information, you may move forward with the scheduling process

Why Consider Lip Blush?
Lip Blush gives pale lips a lovely splash of color and can create the illusion of fullness. It is also popular for correcting asymmetry or simply defining the vermillion border (lip line). Who wouldn’t love a boost of natural-looking color and better definition without the daily hassle of lipstick or liner?

What is Lip Blush?
Lip Blush is a cosmetic tattoo that enhances the color of the lips or, if preferred, just the lip line. Results range from a very soft, natural “watercolor” look (often called Lip Blush or Lip Tint) to a more saturated, vibrant “lipstick” look, depending on your preference

How is the Service Done?

Emily uses a cosmetic tattoo pen/machine and specialized needle cartridges to carefully implant cosmetic pigment into the skin of the lips. The pen is quiet and gentle, designed specifically for use on the face. For the most natural result, pigment is never placed far beyond the natural contour of the lips.

One Style Does Not Fit All
Before the service begins, we discuss your goals and expectations. Different levels of color intensity are available: the Lip Blush method creates a soft, natural wash of color; the Lipstick method offers a more opaque, saturated result; and Lip Tint falls somewhere in between. You can also choose a defined lip line or a soft, barely-there border. Once the options are discussed, the outline is drawn on with pencil so you can clearly see and approve the shape. Pigment color is then selected based on your skin tone, undertone, and personal preference. Pricing is the same for all Lip Blush techniques

How Long Does the Service Take?

The initial appointment typically takes about 2.5 hours for full Lip Blush, and about 1 hour for Lip Liner only.
A complementary* Perfecting Visit (touch-up) which takes place approximately 8 weeks after the initial service is included with all first-time Permanent Makeup services. The touch-up appointment is significantly shorter than the initial session. Please read the complementary touchup policy here

Is the Service Painful?

Topical lidocaine is applied before and during the service to keep you as comfortable as possible. A few important notes:

• Women are often more sensitive to pain near the time of their menstrual cycle. This should be taken into consideration when scheduling the appointment.

• If you do not experience effective numbness from anesthetics during other procedures (such as dental work), you are also unlikely to experience numbness from the lidocaine used during the Lip Blush service. Clients who are resistant to numbing agents should not book this procedure as effective numbing is a necessary part of it

What Should I Expect Immediately After Service?

Mild to significant swelling of the lips is completely normal and usually subsides within 24 hours. Soreness similar to a mild sunburn is also expected and typically begins to ease shortly after the service, though it can sometimes last longer.

Immediately after the service, lips commonly look as if they have had filler. Depending on the style chosen (Blush/Tint vs. more lipstick-like), the color may appear significantly more intense at first than it will once healed. Throughout the 10–14 day healing process, it is normal for the color to go from too bright, to too light, and finally settle into the right shade

How Long Will the Result Last?

Clients should expect to have their Lip Blush touched up over the years to keep it looking its best. Longevity varies from person to person (up to 3+ years) and depends on factors such as skin type, cellular turnover, certain health conditions, unprotected sun exposure, medications, and proper aftercare.

Proper aftercare is one of the most important factors in achieving the best and longest-lasting results. Detailed aftercare instructions and supplies are provided at the end of your appointment
