Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Lip Blush

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Lip Blush

If you want fuller, more defined lips without the need for daily lipstick, lip blush is the perfect solution! This semi-permanent makeup treatment enhances your natural lip colour, corrects uneven pigmentation, and gives your lips a soft, youthful tint. Before booking your appointment, here’s everything you need to know!

What is Lip Blush?

Lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the natural colour of your lips using a specialised machine. Unlike traditional lip tattoos, which can be harsh and bold, lip blush creates a soft, pixelated effect, giving you a natural, tinted look that complements your skin tone.

How Long Does Lip Blush Last?

Lip blush typically lasts 2 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Over time, the pigment gradually fades, so touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain the best results.

Does Lip Blush Hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort, as a topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure. Some describe the sensation as a light tingling or scratching feeling. Any discomfort is temporary and usually subsides quickly.

Who is Lip Blush Best For?

✅ Anyone with pale, uneven, or discoloured lips
✅ People who want a low-maintenance beauty routine
✅ Those looking to enhance lip shape and definition
✅ Clients who want a natural-looking, youthful lip colour

How Do I Prepare for My Appointment?

For the best results, follow these pre-care instructions:

  • Stay hydrated and use a lip scrub or balm to keep your lips smooth.
  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) 24 hours before your appointment.
  • Do not have lip fillers at least 4 weeks before or after your lip blush treatment.
  • If you have a history of cold sores, take an anti-viral medication (such as acyclovir) a few days before to prevent outbreaks.
  • You will be asked to list any medical conditions or current medications on the booking form. Some medical conditions or medications can prevent treatment, so it's important we know about this before your appointment.

What is the Healing Process Like?

Lip blush healing takes around 7-10 days, with full results appearing after 4-6 weeks. Here’s what to expect:

  • Days 1-2: Lips will appear brighter and slightly swollen.
  • Days 3-5: Lips may start flaking and peeling as they heal.
  • Days 6-10: The colour may look lighter before fully settling.
  • Week 4: The final healed colour is visible.

How Do I Take Care of My Lips After Treatment?

  • Apply the provided aftercare balm to keep lips moisturised.
  • Avoid spicy, salty, or acidic foods for the first 48 hours.
  • Drink through a straw for the first few days.
  • Avoid lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm (except for the provided aftercare) for at least 10 days.
  • Do not pick or peel flaking skin—let it shed naturally.
  • You'll be given an aftercare sheet after treatment, but these are the main things to keep in mind when booking your treatment.
