Lip Blushing

What is Lip Blushing?

Lip blushing is a type of semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure achieved by depositing pigments in your lips using small needles. Lip blushing focuses on altering both color and shape to create younger-looking lips.

How long does it last?

Lip blushing can last between 1-3 years depending on the client's skin type and lifestyle. Smoking and sun exposure can speed up the fading process and if your oil-prone, have an iron deficiency or use a lot of exfoliating products on your lips, the pigment could fade more quickly.
