Lip blush enhances color, defines shape, and adds fullness to your lips. The result? A natural, youthful pout that lasts for years. This is a great procedure for those who want to correct any asymmetry in their shape. The colour will appear much bolder and vibrant post-procedure. However, the lips will appear more subtle and natural-looking once healed.

What can I expect?
Permanent makeup is subject to fading over time. It is not meant to replace makeup. Many clients will feel they no longer require makeup. Others will simply have a shorter makeup routine. As pigment sits underneath the surface of the skin, permanent makeup will not always appear “bold.” Traditional makeup can be applied if a bolder look is desired. The cosmetic tattoo acts as a guideline making makeup application quick and easy.
What if I have lip filler?
Lip blush can be a complementary treatment to lip fillers or a subtle alternative.
Please allow a minimum of 2-4 weeks following injectables before a cosmetic tattoo procedure.
What do I need to do before and after my appointment?
Pre-procedure note
For lip tattoos, you must consult your doctor to request an antiviral prescription before your appointment. This procedure can cause a Herpes Simplex 1 outbreak. Preventative measures should be taken to reduce the risks. We recommend asking your doctor for prescriptions to cover both the initial appointment and the touch-up appointment.
Before your appointment
4 weeks prior: Injectable filler should be done at least 3-4 weeks before your lip tattoo procedure.
1 week prior: Exfoliate and moisturize your lips every day for the entire week leading up to your appointment.
Day of procedure: Do not drink coffee, alcohol or energy drinks. Consuming caffeinated drinks can increase the bleeding and the results of your procedure.
After your appointment
Gently cleanse the lip area with warm water.
Apply a thin layer of the provided ointment. Be careful not to overdo it with the ointment.
Avoid any activities that cause extreme sweating.
No swimming pools, hot tubs, or steam rooms.
No UV exposure, including tanning beds.
No massages, facials, or skin treatments.
Do not apply any lip balms or makeup besides the ointment provided to you.
Do not use any exfoliants, retinol, active ingredients (acids) on the treated area.
You must not scratch, pick, or lick any of the dry skin or flakiness.
How often will I need a touch up?
A perfecting session is recommended 6 to 12 weeks following the initial session for best results. Not every client will require this 2nd session.
Lip blush can last several years before needing a touch up. You may book a touch up when you feel your cosmetic tattoo needs to be refreshed.
