LIP BLUSH TATTOO/ semi permanent lips

 Lip liner and blush is a popular cosmetic tattoo (semi permanent makeup) service that gives you beautifully defined and shaped lips that never fade or smear. You can enhance your natural lip colour with a range of shades, from subtle nudes to vibrant reds. All you need is a touch of balm to make them shine and you’re ready to go! 

Using a digital Permanent Makeup machine to outline your desired shape and insert delicate pixels of pigment in beautiful Reds, pinks, peaches and Nudes in to the lips- I give the lips the illusion of fullness by  making minor adjustments to the cupids bow and vermillion  borders  to improve the shape and look of the lips. 

Lip blush tattoo gives a defined, tinted look to the lips and colours can be mixed to achieve your usual lipstick or lip tint choice. Your lips can be as natural or dramatic as you wish and will last 18 months-2 years before a colour boost is required.  

Lip blush requires 2 sessions spaced at 6-8 weeks apart and as with all Semi Permanent Makeup procedures will require a consultation and patch test . This should be booked at least 1 week ahead of your treatment date, as we will need to cover medical history and some pre treatment preparation may be required.  

When healed, lipblush will give your own lips a coloured hue or lipstick consistency depending on your personal preference and colours will be a more muted version of the vibrancy seen with initial application.
