Lip Blush
About Lip Blushing
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent makeup procedure that uses tiny needles to place pigments across your lips. We call this process ‘pixelating’. We layer the colour in such a way as to make it look as natural as your lip color. With lip blushing, you’ll look like you blessed with the lips of a supermodel. The pigment is used to line your lips, creating shading to make them appear fuller while the pixelating gives you the fresh coat of color.
You might have heard of lip blushing as being referred to as tattooing, as while it’s a similar process it’s cosmetic rather than permanent. Last 3-4 years.
You can use lip blushing to alter the color and shape to make your lips appear younger and fuller. If you have thinner lips or rely on applying lipstick throughout the day, then lip blushing is the perfect procedure for you. Lip blushing can help add symmetry and definition to your lips, all while making it look like you were born with perfect lips. While lip fillers can look artificial, lip blushing is one of the most natural-looking procedures that you can try.
Before Your Lip Blush Appointment
Your lips cannot be dry for the appointment. For the week leading up to the appointment you must moisturize your lips as much as possible.
*IMPORTANT*
Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. If you have had a cold sore in the past- we advise you to go to the doctor for an anti-viral medication prior to any lip procedure, to help avoid an outbreak.
Avoid supplements with blood thinning effects should be discontinued 7 days prior to getting a cosmetic tattoo.
AT LEAST 2 WEEKS BEFORE
If you plan on getting fillers it MUST be done at least 4 weeks before because of swelling and bruising and/or 4 weeks after injections
AT LEAST 1 WEEK BEFORE
HYDRATE! Drink lots of water as this will help reduce dryness on your lips
Exfoliate and add lip treatment to hydrate lips
Mix coconut oil and sugar to make a natural exfoliate for your lips. Do this daily for a week prior to your appointment.

LIP BLUSH AFTERCARE
Lips will feel swollen and very dry after your treatment. Apply ointment on lips several times a day. This should be done for at least 14 days post treatment. Do not allow lips to become dry. This may interfere with healed color. During the day if lips feel dry, apply a liberal amount of lip ointment. Just tap on skin and do not rub in.
Redness, swelling, tenderness, dryness are all common post treatment side effects and will dissipate in a short period of time.
Always use a clean Q-tip, not fingers to apply ointment to the lips area. This will reduce the risk of infection.
After lips are no longer tender to the touch they may become flaky. This is normal and is expected. Please DO NOT PICK or scratch at them. This may significantly reduce the amount pigment absorption. Be sure to use a sun block once lips are healed. Hyperpigmentation can happen on any lip client without warning. Follow all before and after instructions after all lip treatments. Lip retouch must be scheduled 30 to 45 days apart from initial season to help with color retention. You can resume wearing lipstick once lips are healed.
If your client is experiencing a large amount of swelling, they can ice the Treatment Area. Applying ice following your procedure also helps to prevent bruising from occurring. A bag of frozen peas works nicely to keep the area cool. Make sure there is a cloth barrier between the lips and the ice.
Day 1 (Day of the Procedure)
DIRECTIONS:
It is very important to remove the lymph fluid from the surface of the skin in order to avoid heavy scabbing. Before bed, if the lips still have some dry lymph, rinse with lukewarm water, gently removing the dry lymph, pat dry and apply post-care Lip Healing Balm. Sometimes the lips can bruise even after the procedure. Bruising will subside within 24 hours post-procedure. Continue to use at a minimum through one skin cycle (21 to 28) days during healing. Continue to use daily for lip healing, pigment longevity, healthy lip tissue and anti-aging benefits.
Day 2 – 10
The lips may be swollen the second day as well. Keep the skin moist at all times, do not let the lips dry out. Continue to apply ointment every 30 minutes throughout the day. Again, DO NOT let the lips dry out.
*** As my clients leave my studio I remind them again, not to judge their lips for a full 6 – 8 weeks from the day of the procedure.
DO NOT TIPS
Pick at scabs
Apply any products to lips until scabs and flakes have naturally fallen off
No sun, sauna, steam, or vigourous exercise
Spicy food, oily, salt, and acidic foods
Kissing
