What is lip blush and how is it done?

Lip blushing is a type of semi-permanent cosmetic lip tattooing that focuses on altering both colour and shape to create younger-looking lips. The pigments are deposited in your lips using small needles, similar to traditional tattoo art.

However, lip blushing is less invasive and uses smaller needles than traditional tattooing. This makes the lip-blushing process much less painful and results in less swelling and bruising.

The lip blushing procedure usually takes about 1-2 hours to complete. After the initial lip-blushing session, you may need 1-2 touch-up sessions to achieve the desired results.

Also, it features a complete healing process in which the lip skin heals itself. You must follow expert instructions and use products like numbing cream for the best results.

Benefits of lip blush:

There are many benefits of semi-permanent lip blushing, which is why this cosmetic tattooing procedure is becoming increasingly popular. Some of the top benefits include:

Your lip colour will last all day:

The best benefit of lip blushing is that your lip colour remains flawless all of the time. This is because the lip-blushing pigment is embedded in to the skin via a very shallow cosmetic tattoo. The result can be a natural colour enhancement or change of natural lip colour as achieved with dark lip neutralisation. No fading or smudge throughout the day & no daily re application necessary, although gloss will make the colour pop!

Improve self-confidence:

For many women & men the most important benefit of lip blushing is that it can improve your self-confidence.

This can boost your self-confidence and help you fall back in love with your reflection.

The ombré lip-blushing technique involves using a lighter natural lip colour on the inner part of your lips and darker or more concentrated colour on the outer part of your lips. This creates a gradient effect that is similar to the ombré brow trend. Gradients of density of colour or saturation can create clever & effective illusions.

Full lip blush:

Dark Lip Neutralisation:

Firstly the cool undertone needs to be neutralised with an orange flame saturated colour. Once a more even & neutralised lip has healed a destination colour can be achieved in one or two further appointments.

Lip line & contour technique:

Lip line-only is a cosmetic tattoo technique that involves tattooing pigment into the lip line (vermilion border). This is a great option if you want to define your lip line & can make your lips look fuller by tattooing on the very edge of the lip tissue, it is not advisable to tattoo outside of the vermilion border. This should always be blended somewhat into the lip & not appear as a stand alone line around the lip.

Distorted lip shape as a result of filler injected into the lip:

Increasingly women are seeking pigment to be added to regain definition to their lips. Some are happy with the size of their lips.
