Lip Blushing... Make those lips look even more kissable!!
Lip blushing is a beauty term that you're about to hear a lot more of.
It's a procedure offering beautifully shaped and tinted semi-permanent tattooed lips without the effort.
The advancements in technology and technique are part of the reason why lip blush and lip liner tattooing are gaining in popularity. Despite being such a small and delicate area, professional inking can help to add definition, enhance colour and create symmetry.
If it's a treatment you've considered, but you're unsure what to expect, here's everything you need to know...
What is lip blushing?
There are many different types and names for lip blushing, including lip tattooing, lip contouring, tattooed lip liner, lip blush, and a full lip tint. Each of these involves carefully impregnating a specialist colour pigment into the skin.
Working with a special tattoo machine that is at a lower speed and frequency than a traditional tattoo machine, ultra-fine needles gently deposit the colour throughout the lip area, using a selection of different techniques depending on the look you want.
The lip blush method is a far more beautiful finish of shading and blending, with a softer more natural look, while the 'contour and blend' treatment (see below photo), which aims to replace lost or faded pigment to the outer edge of the lips, reinforces the shape and accomplishes a ‘natural’ look to the lip, while avoiding any harsh or obvious demarcation lines.
What are the benefits of lipstick tattooing?
Aside from having a lip colour that won't fade or smudge no many how coffees or cocktails you down, lip tattooing also defines the shape of the lips and depending on the technique, can make them look slightly larger too.
Who is lip blushing suited to?
Lip blushing or tattooing is suitable for most clients of all ages and lifestyles. It's for anyone over 18 who wants a subtle lip colour and can be especially good for older women who lose pigment in their lips as they age.
