lip blush
DURING YOUR APPOINTMENT
Lip Blush is a form of cosmetic tattooing designed to enhance the natural color, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. Using soft, custom-blended pigments, the lips are gently tinted to create a more even tone, refined definition, and a naturally flushed look. Unlike traditional lipstick tattoos, Lip Blush results are sheer, subtle, and meant to look like your lips - just better.
Lip Blush can help:
-
Enhance your natural lip color
-
Improve symmetry and correct uneven tones
-
Define the lip borders without harsh lines
-
Create the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips
Your appointment includes a full, in-depth consultation where we walk through each step together. From shaping and pre-drawing your lips to selecting the perfect custom color and performing the lip blush treatment.
A topical numbing is applied throughout the appointment to keep you comfortable and relaxed. The pre-draw ensures you feel confident and excited about your results before we begin.
You’ll go home with an aftercare kit and clear instructions to support optimal healing. Please be sure to review all pre-care and preparation details before booking.
