Lip Blushing: All About Cosmetic Tattooing for Your Lips
For perfecting your pout and providing your lips with a pop of colour, lip blushing is a new beauty treatment you’re going to want to know about. Curious about how lip blushing works and how it differs from traditional treatments like lip fillers and permanent makeup? Here is what you need to know:
What is lip blushing?
For decades, cosmetic tattooing has been evolving into an art form and lip blushing is one of the latest industry innovations. It is a method that tints the lips, using a small needle to infuse semi-permanent colour. This is sometimes referred to as lip tattooing because the professionals who perform this service typically use a tattoo machine to inject the pigment into the lips.
However, unlike the permanent lip-tattooing procedures of the past, semi-permanent lip tattoo blushing utilises a lighter touch to create more detailed shading and a more natural look. It is similar to other modern cosmetic tattoo trends like misty brows and ombre brow tattoo, just for the lips.
As with any protocol that involves a needle, customers may experience some mild discomfort or light vibration sensation during the tattooing process. However, an experienced technician will ensure that the lip area is properly numbed with a special cream. There is also minimal downtime involved. Some minor scabbing may occur for a few days post-treatment, and the lips will heal after 5-7 days.
Something very exciting about lip blushing tattoo is that it not only tints the lips, but can also make them appear fuller, without the use of injections or hyaluronic fillers. While cosmetic tattooing will not change your natural shape, it works by better defining your existing lip line, and making the lips appear more prominent. It can also be helpful in correcting the appearance of small imperfections such as asymmetry and uneven pigment.
While lip tattooing can produce dramatic results, the overall effect is still very natural. In the past, permanent makeup techniques tended to be more heavy-handed and favoured aggressive lipstick-like pigments, but today we have many more options to work with. Our skilled PMU artists will work with you to choose the best shade according to your skin tone, and your desired look, to ensure that your colour is meticulously matched and exactly what you want. Our expert stylists will provide natural lip blushing results every time.
Don’t let the words “semi-permanent” deter you from trying this amazing treatment. While lip blushing isn’t forever, lip enhancement tattoo results are long-lasting. How Long Does Lip Blushing Last? Most tattooed lip pigment will last up to three years and gradually fade over time. If you love your colour, you can also get yearly touch-ups to keep it looking fresh.
Home care is also quite simple. Following your initial lip tinting procedure you can apply ice or a cold compress to minimise swelling, and keep your lips moisturised with a nourishing, hydrating balm. Once your healing process is complete you can enjoy effortlessly gorgeous lips. No makeup needed!
To help care for your new lip blushing treatment, you can get our EI Clear Lip Gloss at our EI Shop. Our lip gloss helps soften and hydrates the lips. It also has a scent of chocolate vanilla.
