Lips

Lip Blush is a form of PMU (Permanent Makeup) that adds soft, natural-looking color to the lips. It defines your lip shape and enhances your natural lip tone, giving the illusion of fuller, more youthful lips without harsh lines. This treatment is ideal for those looking to correct lip asymmetry, neutralize dark pigmentation, or simply wake up with flawless lips every day.

Lip Blush typically lasts 2–3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. A touch-up is recommended at 6–8 weeks post-treatment to perfect the color and shape. Long-term results vary but proper aftercare and sun protection can help extend your pigment retention.

Most clients describe the feeling as mild to moderate discomfort. A topical numbing agent is applied before and during the procedure to ensure your comfort. If you're concerned about pain, let your artist know — we take extra care to make the experience as comfortable as possible.Please refrain from all activities that may cause irritation of the skin.

Refrain from alcohol consumption 24 hours before your Lip appt.

Refrain from sun tanning, microdermabrasion, derma planning, laser treatment, and chemical peels 7-10 days before receiving Lip Blush.

Refrain from all medications that cause thinning of the blood including but not limited to: Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Niacin, Fish Oil, Vitamin E, and Ibuprofen. Please consult your physician before stopping any medication.

Refrain from consuming coffee and energy drinks the day of your appointment.

Clients who have experienced a cold sore in or around the mouth MUST take Valtrex at least 3 days prior and 3 days after receiving this treatment. Failure to follow these instructions can risk an outbreak that can affect the healing process. Lip fillers must be done 1 month prior to scheduling this service. Failure to disclose this information may result in a negative outcome. 

Expect initial swelling and color boldness for the first few days. The color will soften by 30–50% during healing. Minor flaking is normal. Most clients are fully healed in about 7–10 days, with full color settling in after 4–6 weeks.

Yes, but we recommend avoiding hot, spicy, or acidic foods and drinks for the first 48 hours. Use a straw when drinking and gently blot the lips — don’t wipe. Avoid touching or licking your lips during the healing phase.

Dark Lip Neutralization is a specialized technique for clients with melanin-rich or dark-toned lips. It involves color correction by neutralizing darker hues before applying the target lip tone. Often, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Are not pregnant or nursing
• Have healthy, unbroken skin on your lips
• Are not prone to cold sores (or are able to take antiviral meds beforehand)
• Desire more color, symmetry, or definition in your lips

If you’ve ever had a cold sore, you must take antiviral medication (like Valtrex or Acyclovir) 3 days before and after your appointment to prevent an outbreak. Lip Blush can trigger cold sores, even if it’s been years since your last one.

• Exfoliate your lips gently the night before using a sugar scrub
• Keep lips moisturized leading up to your appointment
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinners (like aspirin, fish oil) 24 hours before
• Take antiviral meds if applicable

• Lip Liner defines the border of the lips
• Lip Blush provides a soft tint and natural look across the entire lip
• Full Lip Tattoo offers a more saturated, lipstick-like appearance

We help you choose the best technique for your desired look during your consultation.
