Lip Blush
WHAT IS LIP BLUSH?
It is a lip tattoo done with a machine and a disposable cartridge needle. Lip blush enhances, defines your lips and helps enhance your natural lip colour. It can also even out an asymmetrical lip line or add colour to an area lacking in pigment.
Your lips will look darker and more like lipstick on the first day, and soften as they heal to become a subtle, natural looking lip tint.
Apply a little gloss or balm and your lips are perfectly kissable!
LIP BLUSH APPOINTMENT
The 1st application appointment includes a recap of our initial consultation, numbing, lip outline and measurement, lip blush application and aftercare.
To achieve the best results, 2 applications are needed.
The procedure is 3 to 4 hours long. Please do not schedule another appointment directly after the service so your Artist does not feel rushed.
Everything will be explained step-by-step to ensure you understand the procedure and aftercare at the consultation and at the application appointment.
​
A touch up appointment is needed in 6 to 8 weeks after the initial application to complete the lips.
​

PLANNING A HOT HOLIDAY OR VACATION?
Please be aware that your lips need to heal before jetting off on your holiday. Please plan your lip blush appointment at least 2 weeks before your holiday.
Also to make sure that you wear SPF on your whole face including lips during your vacation because the sun does cause them to fade faster. When you return, please wait at least 2 weeks for your skin to accustom to our climate again before having a lip blush application.
​
TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT:
Start lightly exfoliating your lips with a lip scrub nightly and make sure to keep them moisturized at all times.
This ensures nice and supple lips for the procedure.
Results cannot be guaranteed if lips are cracked and chapped for the application appointment.

Makeup on lip area until fully healed
Picking a scabs if any appear
Swimming (pool chemicals can erode healing colour)
Outdoor activities such as gardening or golf can be resumed as long as treatment area remains clean, dry and out of the sun.
There will be a little scabbing.
Please do not itch or pick at the lip area or pull any scabs away.
Lips will feel chapped for 2 weeks. A lip balm will be provided to you.
​
A list of instructions and aftercare ointment/cream will be given the day of the appointment.
Following the proper aftercare after the treatment is of great importance. If aftercare is not followed, it can result in losing up to 80% of the pigment.
​
Everyone's skin heals differently and most clients develop patchy areas or the appearance of fading after the first application.
​
It is important to understand that this is a two part process and a touch up application is needed to complete the service. Please be patient.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
​
There may be moderate swelling, redness and bruising for the first 3 days.
​
If you experience swelling, use an ice pack (provided in aftercare kit) for no more than 15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling. Wrap ice pack in paper towel or a clean cloth before icing your lips.
​
During the initial healing period, there should be minimal scabbing or flaking of the skin. If there is some scabbing or flaking, do not pick, and allow the scab or dry skin to come off on its own. This usually takes place within the first 3 days.
Expect the colour to lighten up to 50-70% once the healing process is complete.
Color may appear uneven at different stages of healing. Be patient. This is a process that does not yield immediate results.
Permanent makeup pigments are not the same as body art ink, and by design it does not last as long as body art ink. Permanent makeup does fade and is expected to last 2 to 5 years before requiring a touch up. Maintenance touch ups are suggested for best results.
​
It can take 2 sessions prior to achieving the level of saturation you may desire. Touch ups are not included in the cost of the initial lip blush procedure.
