what is lip blush

Lip Blush is a soft cosmetic tattoo that enhances and restores your natural lip shape with a sheer, flushed tint—think of it as blush for your lips. Unlike lipstick, it’s not meant to dramatically alter or reshape your lips but rather to enhance their natural beauty with a subtle wash of color. Whether you prefer a soft pink, bold red, or something in between, Lip Blush is fully customizable to complement your look.

how it works

THE PROCESS

Virtual Consultation - Determine if this service is right for you. Some restrictions apply (see FAQs below).

Initial Session – We’ll discuss your goals, select your ideal shade, and map your lip shape for approval. After applying a numbing solution, I’ll layer in the foundational color and shape and will numb you throughout the service. You’ll receive an aftercare kit, and we’ll go over how to care for it as it heals.

Healing Process – Your lips will appear bold at first, then soften and lighten by at least 50% or more over the next few weeks. By 8 weeks, the pigment blooms into its healed hue.

Touch-Up (8 Weeks Later) – This essential session builds up the color and perfects the shape.

Long-Term Results – Your lip blush can last 1-3 years before a refresh is needed, depending on lifestyle and aftercare.
