Enhancing natural lip color, creating fuller lip appearance, defining lip shape, and achieving long-lasting color without daily lip makeup
Lip blushing is a form of cosmetic tattoo and permanent makeup that enhances your natural lip color while adding definition to your lip line. Unlike traditional lip fillers or lip injections that add volume, lip blush tattooing deposits lip pigment into the top layers of the skin to create a soft, natural look. This cosmetic procedure is ideal for those who want to enhance their lips without the commitment of wearing lipstick daily or the temporary nature of lip liner.
The lip blushing procedure uses a specialized handheld tool to carefully apply pigment that matches your natural lip color and complements your skin tone. Whether you have uneven pigmentation, want to create the appearance of fuller lips, or simply desire a more defined lip shape, this treatment offers a semi-permanent solution that lasts for years with proper care.
All our services start with a one-on-one consultation to ensure your treatment is tailored to your specific goals and concerns. Your aesthetician will draw in your desired lip shape and select a color match, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction every step of the way. Lip blushing is then applied with a device similar to a tattoo needle, penetrating your lips with natural pigments that enhance your lip color.
We apply a topical numbing agent and/or dental block during the treatment, making it a comfortable and pain-free process. After finishing the lip blush, which typically takes around 2.5 hours, we’ll provide you with aftercare products to promote faster healing. You’ll start seeing stunning results within a week!
Lip blushing treatment effectively addresses several common concerns:
This cosmetic tattoo technique also benefits those who cannot wear lipstick due to sensitivities, as well as those recovering from skin treatments who want to maintain a polished appearance effortlessly.
Lip blushing offers numerous advantages over traditional lip makeup and other cosmetic procedure options:
Long-Lasting Results: Unlike lip liner or lipstick, which require daily application, lip blushing creates semi-permanent color that lasts 2-3 years, saving you time and money on lip makeup.
Natural Enhancement: The technique enhances your natural lips rather than dramatically altering them, creating a soft, natural look that complements your skin tone and facial features.
Low Maintenance: Keep your lips moisturized with healing balm, avoid sun exposure initially, and enjoy beautiful color without constant touch-ups throughout the day.
Versatile Results: Whether you desire a subtle enhancement of your natural lip color or a more defined, darker shade, lip blushing can be customized to achieve your goals.
With the right prep work, lip blushing is effective on all skin types, including sensitive skin. During your consultation, your clinician will assess any skin sensitivities or conditions, tailoring your treatment as needed. We also offer patch tests to ensure you won’t react to any pigments or products. And when it comes to color matching to your natural palette, we’ve got you covered, from lighter hues to darker tones. Whether you want to correct uneven pigmentation or make your daily lip look effortless, lip blushing is an empowering and cost-effective solution.
Those on blood thinners, pregnant or nursing individuals, and anyone who has recently received laser light therapy or chemical peels should consult with our team first.
If you're wondering, "does lip blushing hurt?" Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to numbing cream. The treatment is considered safe when performed by a trained permanent makeup artist using proper techniques and following strict safety protocols.
Like any aesthetic treatment, lip blushing requires some post-procedure care to promote healing and enhance results. It's normal to experience mild swelling and tenderness for the first few days — you can use ice packs or cold compresses to help alleviate these symptoms. That said, there’s no downtime after your procedure, so that you can resume normal daily activities the same day.
Immediately after your cosmetic procedure, your lips will appear darker and may feel tender. This is entirely normal and part of the healing process.
First Week: Keep your lips moisturized with healing balm and avoid wearing lipstick, applying alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin E, or exfoliating products. Stay out of the sun and avoid picking at any flaking skin as it heals.
Weeks 2-4: As the healing process continues, the pigment will fade to 40-50% lighter than initially, revealing your true lip color. Continue keeping lips moisturized and protected.
It’s important to keep in mind that the success of your recovery starts before treatment even begins. Our clinicians will inform you of all our pre-care instructions, like avoiding NSAIDs, limiting caffeine intake, and staying hydrated. Since cold sores are a potential risk of any lip treatment, we advise taking antiviral medication 48 hours before your appointment if you’re prone to getting them.
We know how medical aesthetics contribute to you looking and feeling your best. That’s why we’re proud to offer accessible financing options, allowing you to make smaller payments toward your treatment that align with your budget. Thanks to our partnership with Cherry, you can enjoy a monthly payment plan with interest-free options. Simply apply online, receive your approval amount, and choose your installment schedule. We’re also partnered with health and wellness vendors like CareCredit to streamline the payments you make over time. Give us a call or ask about financing during your consultation to learn more about our flexible payment options.
The semi-permanent nature means your lip color will gradually fade over time rather than disappearing abruptly, allowing you to adjust your shade at future appointments or let it fade naturally.
When Can I See Results?Your lips will appear healed entirely within 4-6 weeks, revealing the final result of your lip blushing treatment. Initial color will fade during the healing process before settling into your beautiful, natural-looking shade.
How Long Does Lip Blushing Last?Lip blushing typically lasts 2-3 years, though results vary based on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Those with oily skin may find the pigment fades slightly faster than those with normal skin. A touch-up appointment 6-8 weeks after your initial treatment ensures optimal color retention. It allows for any adjustments to achieve the perfect brows and lip color combination if you've also had powder brows done.

Lip blushing stands out as a semi-permanent solution that provides fuller, brighter, and more long-term results. Whereas cosmetics can temporarily add color, shine, or plump, lip blushing enhances your natural lip color and definition for up to 2-3 years, helping you achieve an effortless, everyday makeup-free look.
Lip blushing and lip injectables provide different kinds of long-lasting aesthetics. Lip blushing focuses on adding color using natural pigments, creating a smooth sheen while making lips look fuller and more defined. Lip filler is designed to add volume, not color. You can enjoy the effects of both, as long as you don’t get lip filler in the week before your lip blushing procedure. During your consultation, our clinicians will review all your options and develop a personalized aesthetic plan tailored to your goals and the strengths of each treatment.
Expect mild swelling, tenderness, and darker pigment for the first few days. As your lips heal, the color will lighten and soften, revealing your final shade in 4–6 weeks. You can resume normal activities the same day.
Yes. Many clients combine lip blush treatments with lip filler for enhanced volume and definition. We recommend waiting at least one week between filler and lip blushing sessions for optimal healing and results.
