Lip Blush
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent lip tattoo cosmetic procedure (permanent makeup) that can give you the perfect pout. Lip tattoos are an innovative treatment that can enhance the natural appearance of your lips, such as improving shape, increasing volume, correcting asymmetry, improving colour or creating the illusion of fuller lips. There’s an option available for just about any shade you can imagine! This guide will show you what to expect before, during, and after your blush cosmetic tattoo lips treatment.
Lip Blush
Lip blush is very natural and with results lasting around 2-5 years, clients are asking themselves why they didn’t do it sooner! Colours are 100% customised to suit each individual at their appointment.
The benefits of lip tattooing are countless; it is a lovely way to restore colour in the lips or match your favourite lip balm! It is also great for redefining the lip border for anyone who has experienced a loss of definition due to lip fillers, ageing, smoking or scarring. The treatment is painless and healing time is less than a week!
*Lips in image are immediately after treatment and will soften and fade approx 50% to leave a beautiful tint of colour!
