One of our most popular permanent makeup treatments is lip blushing. Lip blush is a semi-permanent tattoo tint applied to the surface of the lips. It leaves behind a beautiful rosy tint, giving you the look of a soft lipstick on a makeup-free face.
Lip blush gives an effortlessly tinted look that doesn’t smudge or smear like traditional lip products. It can also add definition and the appearance of fullness to the lip area, enhancing the beauty of the natural lip colour and shape.
A good lip blush treatment will also give the appearance of a plumper smile without any lip filler injections (although both together are great as well!).
The results of permanent lip blush are very natural looking, giving a subtle enhancement to your true lip colour. It’s your lips, but better!
The Lip Blush Process
During a lip blush permanent makeup treatment for lips, the surface of the lips is prepped by applying a topical numbing agent to help reduce any potential pain. Then, the lips are tattooed with your chosen colour within the selected area you and your tattoo artist have discussed beforehand.
The treatment itself takes anywhere between 1.5 and 2 hours, with the help of the numbing agent. It’s possible to feel a bit uncomfortable but it’s virtually painless. The sensation of lip blushing is described as being similar to light scratches or pinches.
Once the tattooing process is finished, the most important part to guarantee beautiful results is the healing stage.
By allowing the lip blush healing process to naturally happen, you can help ensure longer lasting results. After your treatment, your lips may appear brighter than you expected but this will fade with the healing process!
Your lips will have some swelling over the next little while along with some scabbing. This is completely normal, and it is important to allow time for the lips to heal without removing scabs or wearing any makeup in the area. By keeping the lips moisturized and clean, you allow for the best results.
How do I take care of my lips after getting lip blush PMU?
There are several things that you must do to care for your lips after your lip blush treatment. Some of the most important instructions are to keep your lips clean and moisturized. You’ll need to avoid wearing makeup, temporarily stop any potentially irritating skin care products, and avoid picking at your lips.
It’s very important to keep an eye on your lips post-treatment to make sure there is no lymph fluid building up after your lip blushing session. Make sure to visit our after-care section to read the full instructions for caring for your lips post-treatment. It is important that you properly follow the after-care instruction to allow your lips to heal properly for best results! You can expect your lips to be fully healed within 5-7 days, at which point you can enjoy your beautiful no-makeup look!
How long does lip blush last?
Lip blush results will vary, but permanent makeup for the lips typically lasts up to 5+ years. Your results will slowly fade over time until a touch up is required. We recommend a touch up every two to three years to help maintain the tint shade and prevent fading.
As we’ve already mentioned, allowing the lip blush healing process to happen properly can also make sure you get the longest duration out of the results. Permanent lip blush is a great way to enhance your natural beauty with a soft and subtle look.
Just think, not having to rely on makeup for beautiful lips! Those bare-faced summer days are even better with a low-maintenance makeup routine.
How much does lip blush cost?
Lip blush treatments can range anywhere from $500 to upwards of $1000. We offer lip blush tattoo services starting at $500.00.
Lip blush costs can also vary depending on whether you’re getting a touch up or a full first treatment. Permanent makeup can be a great investment for those who want to cut down on how much time it takes to get ready in the mornings by reducing the makeup products they need to use. Not only are you saving money on the cost of products, but you get to have a low-maintenance beauty routine as well!
So, is lip blush really worth it?
We think so! Lip blush is one of the softer, more natural looking permanent makeup treatments. It can help enhance your smile and add some colour to brighten your face. Lip blush is a great addition to your aesthetic routine and can provide gorgeous results. It also helps to improve the symmetry of your smile and add fullness and definition to the shape of your lips. We love the natural-looking outcome you can achieve with lip blush.
