FAQ’s
What is lip blush?
Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances your lips’ natural color and shape. It creates a soft, tinted look like a long-lasting lip stain while defining your lips and giving them a fuller appearance without filler.
How long does lip blush last?
Lip blush typically lasts 2–3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. To maintain freshness, a color boost or touch-up is recommended every 12–18 months.
Is lip blush painful?
Most clients report minimal discomfort. A medical grade numbing agent is applied before and during the procedure to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
How long is the healing process?
Initial healing takes 5–10 days, with full healing around 4–6 weeks. During this time, your lips may scab, flake, and fade before the final color settles in. Proper aftercare is essential for the best results.
What’s the difference between lip blush and a regular lip tattoo?
Lip blush uses modern techniques and pigments designed for a more natural, soft, and sheer finish. Traditional lip tattoos tend to be more saturated and harsh in appearance.
Can I choose the color?
Yes! During your consultation, we’ll customize a pigment that complements your natural lip tone and skin undertone. The final result is a soft, natural tint—not a solid lipstick look.
Who is a good candidate for lip blush?
Most healthy individuals are good candidates. Lip blush is great for those with pale lips, uneven lip tone, or anyone wanting a naturally enhanced, smudge-proof color. Certain medical conditions or medications may require clearance from your doctor.
Will lip blush make my lips look bigger?
While lip blush doesn’t physically enlarge your lips, the added color and shape enhancement can create the illusion of fuller, more defined lips.
Is there any downtime?
Yes—expect mild swelling, tenderness, and scabbing. Most clients return to regular activities within 1–2 days, but lips should be kept clean and moisturized during the healing period.
How should I prepare for my lip blush appointment?
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24–48 hours before your session. If you’re prone to cold sores, take an antiviral 2–3 days before to prevent outbreaks. Full pre-care instructions will be provided when you book.
What if I get cold sores?
If you’ve ever had a cold sore, it’s essential to take an antiviral like Valtrex before your appointment—even if it was years ago. Lip blush can trigger outbreaks during healing.
How much does lip blush cost?
Prices vary by artist and location. A full lip blush session is $500 and includes all aftercare necessary for healthy healing
What are ombre brows?
Permanent makeup eyebrows, also known as ombre powder, nano or combo brows are all semi-permanent cosmetic techniques that enhances the shape, color, and fullness of your natural brows using pigment.
How long do eyebrow tattoos last?
Most eyebrow tattoo styles—like powder brows—last between 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. A color boost or touch-up is recommended every 12–18 months.
Does getting your eyebrows tattooed hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream is applied before and during your session to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.
How long is the appointment for eyebrow tattooing?
A first-time eyebrow tattoo session usually takes 2–3 hours, including brow mapping, consultation, and the procedure itself.
What is the healing process like for permanent eyebrows?
Expect minor scabbing, flaking, and light fading in the first 1–2 weeks. Full healing takes about 4–6 weeks, after which a touch-up is recommended to perfect the shape and color.
