Lip Blushing
What if we told you that there’s an easier way to accentuate your lips without using lip liner and lipstick every day? The magic of lip blush is slowly growing in popularity, so we’re here to give you the inside scoop with all that you need to know about the service.
What is lip blushing?
The easiest way to describe lip blushing is to equate the process to getting microshading or powder brows, as they both serve a similar purpose. To elaborate: lip blushing is a form of permanent makeup that fills in and emphasizes your lips with a range of natural lip colors meant to mimic various skin tones.
What does the process of lip blushing look like?
While frequently compared to the process of tattooing, lip blushing is more like a semi permanent tattoo with results lasting for a limited amount of time. Otherwise, the lip blushing procedure is similar to getting a lip tattoo. Your lips will be cleansed and prepared before your esthetician begins filling in your lips, accentuating your natural lip shape with a soft blush color of your choosing.
How is lip blushing different from other lip procedures?
While the lip blushing treatment does accentuate the lips giving the appearance of having a slight lip filler, there are actually no fillers used during the process. Lip fillers and other lip procedures can be more invasive, but using lip blush is simply depositing small amounts of natural color into the top most layers of your skin.
The benefits of lip blushing
There’s more to lip blushing than you think! Below we’ve listed out the various ways in which the lip blushing process can benefit you and your overall appearance.
You achieve fuller, brighter lips everyday without makeup
With the blushing process you can say goodbye to constantly buying new glosses and tinted lip balm in hopes of reshaping and filling out your lips. Each day, you’ll wake up with bright, full lips!
The results are long lasting
While lip stains are available, the process can be messy and uncertain. The process of blushing your lips is carefully crafted by a professional and is intended to last for months before needing to be touched up. Depending on how you care for your lips, the results could stay vibrant for around 4 to 5 years.
Pain is not nearly as bad as it seems
It doesn't matter if you have tattoos, or if you’ve never experienced the sensation of tattoos and permanent makeup, the idea of using a needle to place color can be intimidating no matter who you are. The good news is that the process isn't nearly as crazy as you may think!
Similar to other cosmetic procedures, there are effective and readily available numbing creams that your esthetician can use during your appointment. Just a little bit of a numbing agent and you won't feel a thing!
Common concerns about lip blushing
Although the process is safe and frequently performed, it’s understandable for many people to come in with reservations or concerns. To make the process as easy as possible, we’ve outlined our frequently discussed concerns so that you can make an informed decision.
How safe is lip blushing?
Lip blushing is perfectly safe! Humans have been depositing pigment into the skin for thousands of years, the difference is that our advancements as a species have made the process safer and more effective.
If you ever have a concern about safety, please be open about it with your practitioner.
Can people be allergic to lip blushing?
Unfortunately, people can develop side effects and allergies to almost anything – even water! If you have sensitive skin, discuss your options with your esthetician and they should be able to “test” the process to make sure you’re not allergic to the ink.
What does aftercare for lip blushing look like?
We can't stress this enough: the best form of aftercare is avoiding sun exposure during the healing process! Besides avoiding harsh UV rays, also try to keep your lips hydrated with your esthetician's recommended brand of aftercare and remember that there are thousands of tiny holes in your skin. Keeping them clean and protected is the best you can do.
