Our Lip Blushing Services

Lip Blushing

Lip Blushing is a great way to enhance the lips you already have, give the illusion of fullness, fix symmetry issues, bring color back where lips have lost pigmentation and it also can pair with lip filler. We can keep the lips looking natural and subtle or give more of a lipstick effect depending on what you're looking for as a client.

Before You Arrive to Your Lip Blushing Appointment

Day of the procedure
  • No caffeine; you may have it after your appointment.
  • No aspirin or ibuprofen.
  • You may wear your regular makeup to the appointment or no makeup; your preference!
One day before the procedure
  • No alcohol.
  • No blood-thinning medication.
Starting one week before the procedure
  • Do not wax or thread your lip area.
  • Exfoliate your lips with an at-home or store-bought lip scrub.
  • Hydrate your lips with A&D ointment, aquaphor, coconut oil, or vaseline every morning and night.
  • Stop using lipsticks and chapsticks, as they contain drying ingredients.
  • Do not tan and avoid exposure to the sun; no dry lips!
  • If you suffer from cold sores (even just once in your life) you must obtain an antiviral medication (Valtrex) from your physician. You don’t have to go in to see your MD, just call and state you’re having a cosmetic lip tattoo done. You will take this 2-3 days prior, and 3-5 days after your appointment. An outbreak can damage your lip blushing results. Lip Blushing does not cause cold sores; however, the lip tissue being tattooed can potentially cause an outbreak if the virus already lives dormant in your body. You can still have lip blushing done! We just want to ensure that you get the best results possible. Consult with your physician for any additional questions. If you know for sure you are not someone who gets cold sores, you can skip this step and count yourself as lucky!
Starting two weeks before the procedure
  • No exfoliating facial treatments or peels.
  • No Botox injections.
  • No use of anti-aging or acne products (which include retinol, retinoic acid, vitamin C, hydroxy acids, niacinamide, etc.) on or near the lips.
Starting four weeks before the procedure
  • No use of medical-grade skin resurfacing products on or near the brows.
  • No laser skin treatments on or near the lips.
  • All lip fillers are done 3 weeks prior to Lip Blushing or 3 weeks after.

Lip Blushing Aftercare Instructions

You will receive all of the aftercare products and instructions to care for your new lips at your appointment!

For the first 7 days
  • Avoid getting the lip area wet. When taking a shower or brushing your teeth you will apply the balm given to you to act as a barrier.
  • No using exfoliants or chemical peels on the lip area (retin-A, glycolic/alpha-hydroxy acids, exfoliating scrubs, etc.) until lips are completely healed.
  • No steam rooms, saunas, long steamy showers, hot tubs, or swimming.
  • No cleansers, creams, or makeup in or around the lip area.
  • Avoid sleeping on your face as much as possible, especially the first two nights.
  • Never pick, peel, or scratch the lip area. Picking and scratching may cause scarring and/or removal of the pigment.
  • Minimize exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Avoid sweaty workouts for the first 5-7 days. Any perspiration within the first 7 days of the healing process could result in loss of pigment.
  • Do not wax or thread the area for at least 7 days.
  • Avoid dusty environments or any task where your lip area could be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, or dander.
What to expect during the healing process
  • Days 1 – 3: Lips may be tender and feel tight. Your lips will look more vibrant on days 1-2 and begin to slowly fade.
  • Days 3 – 7: The lip area may begin to flake and fade. The flakes almost look like dandruff or dry skin; it is important that you do not pick, peel, scratch, or touch the lip area. Some clients don’t get any flaking; it depends on how well you follow the aftercare and your skin type. The pigment is also going to start to appear lighter as if it is fading too much, but this is completely normal.
  • Days 10 – 21: The pigment will start to look like it has completely disappeared and within 21 days your skin will rejuvenate the healed pigment back out and prepare you for your 6-8 week touch-up.

Long-Term Care

  • To retain the color of your new lips, you should always apply SPF to the area when exposed to the sun. Direct sunlight can cause pigment to fade prematurely.
  • Avoid the use of exfoliants or chemical peels on the lip area (retin-A, glycolic/alpha-hydroxy acids, exfoliating scrubs, etc.).
  • If you follow these instructions carefully you should expect to see beautiful, polished results that you will love for the next 1 to 3 years!

Frequently Asked Questions About Lip Blushing

Do I need a consultation?

A consultation is only required if you have had services from another artist or business. Your consultation may be held by phone, or we can schedule a time for you to meet in person with one of our artists.

For those new to permanent makeup, we offer over-the-phone consultations where we can answer any questions that you may have! We do not need to see you in person prior to your full session.

Is it painful?

Clients overall have expressed pain is a 4/10 only for what we call the “first pass” and then 3/10 afterwards. We get you numb with a lidocaine numbing cream prior to the procedure, and during the process apply a secondary numbing as well. Most clients take this time to relax.

How long does Lip Blushing last?

Results will always vary from person to person; after your initial session and the 6-8 week touch up, your results should last between 2-3 years. Additional touch-ups may be required depending on the person and look desired. Permanent makeup ink is not the same as body art ink, and by design it does not last as long as body art ink.

How do we choose a color?

Color choice is selected together, both artist and client. Bringing in photos of styles you like or even a favorite lipstick is great as we can get an idea of what you are aiming for. The color that is tattooed is not what your final result will be. With your trust, we can get you to your goals and help you decide what will be best for you when it comes to this treatment.

Can I wear lipstick over my lip blush if needed?

Yes, if you have a night out and want to have a bolder look you can add lipstick or lipgloss over your lip blush! The lip blush won’t show through and the products will not affect your lip blush once you’re healed.

What to expect at your Lip Blush Appointment

Medical grade topical anesthetic cream is used before and during your lip blushing procedure to ensure as pain-free a process as possible. On the day of your lip blushing procedure, your lips will look more like lipstick afterward. This will soften as your lips heal, developing to a more subtle, natural looking lip tint.

After your first session and touch-up, results last for 2–3 years for most people. Additional touch-ups may be required depending on the look you want.

Lip Blushing Benefits

Lip Blushing is a great way to enhance your natural lips.

Here's what Lip Blush can do for you:

  • Balance and define: Achieve symmetrical lips with delicate pigment that fills in uneven edges or restores lost definition.
  • Boost the appearance of volume: Create the illusion of fuller lips without injections, adding a youthful plumpness to your smile.
  • Camouflage imperfections: Disguise scars or discoloration on the lip tissue for a smooth, seamless appearance.
  • Embrace your perfect shade: Choose from a range of natural-looking pigments to enhance your existing lip color or experiment with a bolder hue.
  • Long-lasting confidence: Ditch the daily lipstick routine and enjoy the freedom of semi-permanent color that lasts for years.
