BENEFITS: “Why should I get my lips tattooed?”

 

  • Long-lasting color: Lip blush tattoos can last anywhere from 1-3 years, which means you’ll save time and money on reapplying lipstick or lip gloss.

  • Natural-looking color: A lip blush tattoo is applied to mimic the natural color of your lips, making them look more natural and subtle.

  • Reduced smudging: Unlike regular lipstick, a lip blush tattoo will not smudge or smear, which means you can kiss, eat, and drink without worrying about your lipstick.

  • Convenience: You can enjoy a beautiful lip color without having to worry about reapplying makeup throughout the day.

  • Increased confidence in your appearance, as you won’t have to worry about your lipstick smudging or fading throughout the day.

  • Time-saving as you won’t have to reapply lipstick or lip gloss, and you can wake up with a perfect pout.

  • Waterproof: the colour won’t fade away if you get in contact with water.

 

THE PROCESS: “How is lip blushing done?”

 

Semi-permanent lip tattooing is done using a digital machine and a needle to essentially colour in your lips and make them “pop”.

 

The process begins with a consultation, where we discuss your desired color and shape for your lips. I will then use a pencil to outline the desired shape of your lips and make any necessary adjustments.

Next, I would thoroughly clean and numb your lips to minimize discomfort, then use a small needle to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin on your lips. The needle is used to create fine, hair-like strokes that mimic the natural color and texture of your lips.

The entire process typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the desired outcome. The final result is a natural-looking lip color that enhances the shape and definition of your lips and lasts anywhere from 1-3 years.

 

WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?

 

Lip blushing is suitable for anyone who wants to enhance the appearance of their lips with a natural-looking color. It’s especially popular among those who want a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution to their lip makeup.

It’s suitable for people with any skin type, including dry, oily, or sensitive skin. It’s also suitable for people of any age, whether you’re young or old, it can help to restore color and definition to your lips.

It’s also a great solution for people who have a hard time applying lipstick evenly, or for those who have a busy lifestyle and want a make-up solution that lasts longer.

Overall, Lip blushing is a great option for anyone looking for a semi-permanent solution to enhance their lips, with natural-looking color, low maintenance, and long-lasting result.

 

DARK LIP NEUTRALIZATION: for melanin-rich lips

 

Achieve natural, even-toned lips. Lip neutralization is the perfect solution for unevenly pigmented lips. 

 

Lip neutralization is an incredible cosmetic procedure that I often recommend to clients with unevenly pigmented lips or those with a tattoo on their lips that they would like to remove. The technique uses semi-permanent pigments that are carefully selected to match your natural skin tone and create a more natural and even lip color.

At my practice, I use a tattoo machine to deposit the pigments into your lips. I’ll work closely with you to determine the perfect neutral color that will enhance your natural beauty and create the desired effect. The technique is also perfect for correcting any imperfections or asymmetry in lip color, giving you a more symmetrical and balanced lip tone.

When it comes to pigments, I’ll select ones that best match your natural lip color and create a more even and natural-looking lip tone. Different pigments can have varying effects, and I’ll carefully choose the one that best suits your individual needs.

There are a few factors that can impact the success of the procedure, including your skin type, age, and overall health. Some medications and medical conditions can also impact the effectiveness of the procedure. However, during our consultation, I’ll work with you to determine if lip neutralization is the right option for you.

 

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM LIP NEUTRALIZATION?

 

  • Lip neutralization is ideal for individuals with unevenly pigmented lips, as it can effectively correct any unevenness and create a more symmetrical appearance.
  • Individuals with a tattoo on their lips that they would like to remove can benefit from lip neutralization as the pigments can effectively cover the tattooed area and create a more natural look.
  • Lip neutralization can provide a subtle enhancement to the lips, giving them a more youthful and vibrant appearance. It’s an ideal procedure for those who want to add definition to their lips without the use of traditional lip fillers.
