Lip Blushing
Lip blushing enhances the natural shape of your lips while refining edges, correcting asymmetry, and adjusting color for a soft, natural finish. Results typically last 24-48 months. A full lipstick effect often requires two or more sessions. This technique provides the appearance of fuller lips, although extreme overlining is not performed. Clients with melanin-rich, dark, or cool-toned lips, or those prone to cold sores, should review the information below before booking.
High Melanin and Cool-Toned Lips
Melanin-rich or cool-toned lips require a specialized approach called lip neutralization. Multiple sessions will be required in these cases to achieve balanced, even color. The initial session focuses on neutralizing deeper tones with a strategically chosen bright shade that complements your undertone. This prevents further darkening and encourages an even nude or soft pink result.
Outcomes vary, and full correction or lightening may take several sessions. If you are unsure whether your lips fall into this category, you may email or text clear, well-lit photos or schedule a complimentary consultation for confirmation.
Cold Sores
Clients who are prone to cold sores must take preventive measures, as the procedure can trigger an outbreak. An antiviral such as Valtrex must be taken five days before the appointment, the day of the procedure, and for five days after. An untreated outbreak can affect the healed appearance of the lip tattoo.
