LIP BLUSH
Lip Blush is a cosmetic tattooing technique that deposits pixelated droplets of specially formulated permanent cosmetic pigments to enhance the natural lips for the perfect, subtle pout through the emphasis of color and definition.
Lip blush is used to accomplish a number of things that both women and men can benefit from. While many love lip blush because it eliminates the need for lipstick, others utilize lip blush to cover up Fordyce spots, dark spots and scars.
The delicate and strategized application of the blushing technique can be layered to varying degrees of coverage for each client’s desired results. Many clients with melanin lips just opt to have their lips neutralized to a natural pink tone. Other clients may opt to have the lips done in a brighter pink or red color.
With a wide range of base colors to choose from, lip blush is fully customized to each individual based on skin tone, undertone, and the personal preferences of each client.
