Are you considering getting a lip blush procedure but have some burning questions? Look no further! Here are some frequently asked questions about lip blush to help you make an informed decision.

What is Lip Blush?

Lip blush is a permanent makeup procedure that enhances the natural color and shape of your lips. It involves depositing pigment into the lips to create a soft, natural-looking tint. This procedure can give your lips a more defined shape and pop of color!

How Long Does Lip Blush Last?

On average, lip blush can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain the color and shape of your lips.

Is Lip Blush Painful?

Most clients report minimal discomfort during the lip blush procedure. Topical numbing cream is applied to the lips before the treatment to help minimize any pain. The sensation can vary from person to person, but it is generally well-tolerated. Some clients even fall asleep!

How do I choose a color?

When choosing a color for lip blush you have a couple of options. 1. Bring in your favorite lip product and we can color match it. 2. Bring in inspiration pictures of your desired color. These can be from our portfolio or other pictures from social media or the internet. 3. Come in with an idea of the tone you want (Such as peachy, pink, mauve, berry, red, etc.) and we can show you color swatches and custom blend your perfect color. 

Can you make my lips look bigger with lip blush?

Your artist will outline your lips all the way to the very edge of your lip line. This may make your lips look bigger since most lips are very pale at the border. We cannot overline your lips past your lip line or you will be left with two different colors once healed, as the skin on your lips vs. the skin around your lips are very different textures.

What is the Recovery Process Like?

After getting lip blush, you may experience some swelling, tenderness, and dryness in the treated area. It is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your artist, such as avoiding certain foods and activities that may affect the healing process. The full healing time typically takes about 4-6 weeks.

Can I Still Wear Lipstick After Lip Blush?

Yes, you can still wear lipstick after getting lip blush. In fact, lip blush can serve as a great base for your favorite lip products. Just make sure to wait until your lips are fully healed before applying anything except the healing products given to you by your artist.
