SEMI PERMANENT MAKEUP
LIP BLUSH
Lip blushing is a form of semi-permanent tattoo or makeup where people are looking to rejuvenate the color of their lip border or the actual substance of the lip. It is not uncommon as we age to lose the pigment, particularly women, in their lips and lip lines. With loss of color and lip definition, a lot of women use lip liner to accommodate this and to make the lips look slightly bigger. This treatment delivers very natural results, once healed. Filler is great for creating volume in your lips, but lip blush delivers a more natural look and gives the illusion of fuller lips.
How Permanent Is Lip Blushing?
Similar to a cosmetic service like microblading—which utilizes a blade to manually create small cuts in the skin, which are then filled with ink—the results vary from person to person. Generally, lip blushing can last several years, although your lifestyle contributes to how well it maintains; smoking and sun exposure can speed up the fading process, and if you’re oil-prone, have an iron deficiency, or use a lot of exfoliating products in your skin regimen, the pigment could fade more quickly, too.
A tattoo on the lips sounds painful—especially for someone who might be looking for an alternative to getting injected with filler. It can be done with topical anesthesia and is tolerable.
How Long Does Lip Blushing Last?
Like any procedure or treatment, there’s maintenance involved. Not picking the scabs off your lips is fundamental to an easy healing process—so is keeping them hydrated. Once the desired result is achieved, patients may need touchups on a yearly basis. Basically, the same level of maintenance as microblading your brows.
