✨ Wake Up with Naturally Flushed, Beautiful Lips!

Lip blushing adds color to naturally light or even-toned lips. Lip neutralization, however, is designed for clients with darker or cool-toned lips (brown, purple, or blue undertones). It gently corrects and balances the tone first — using warm pigments — before adding your desired shade.

You should avoid treatment if you are:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding
   
• Taking Accutane or strong retinoids (within 6 months)
   
• Have open wounds, active cold sores, or infections on your lips
   
• Recently had lip filler (wait at least 2 weeks)
   
• Have uncontrolled diabetes, blood disorders, or healing issues
   

Always let your artist know if you’re taking medication or have medical conditions before your appointment.

Most clients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied throughout the procedure to keep you comfortable. You may feel a light scratching or pressure sensation, but it’s very tolerable.

Your first appointment typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours, which includes mapping, numbing, and tattooing. A touch-up (the “perfecting session”) is usually scheduled 6–12 weeks later to refine the color and shape.

Results vary by skin type and lifestyle but generally last 1.5 to 3 years before gradually fading. Lighter, natural tones may fade a bit sooner; deeper shades tend to last longer. Most clients come back for a refresh every 18–24 months.

Yes — your first touch-up (also called a perfecting session) is part of the process.
It’s usually scheduled 6–10 weeks after your initial session to enhance pigment retention, refine shape, and ensure even color once your lips have fully healed.
Skipping your touch-up may result in uneven color or a shorter lifespan of your results.

For maintenance, most clients book a color boost every 1.5–2 years.

Yes — lip fillers and lip blushing pair beautifully together!
Here’s what you need to know:

• If you already have filler: Wait at least 2 weeks before getting lip blushing to allow any swelling to subside.
   
• If you plan to get filler after: Wait 2 weeks after your blushing session before getting injections.
  This allows both treatments to heal properly and ensures the pigment sits evenly.
   

Lip blushing enhances color and shape, while fillers enhance volume — together, they create the perfect, balanced pout.

Healing takes about 7–10 days for the surface, and up to 4–6 weeks internally.

• Days 1–2: Lips look bolder and may feel slightly swollen.
   
• Days 3–5: Flaking or peeling begins — don’t pick!
   
• Days 6–10: Lips appear lighter and softer as pigment settles.
   
• Weeks 4–6: Final color appears once fully healed.
   

Following aftercare instructions is key to a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.

• Stay hydrated and gently exfoliate your lips 1–2 days before your session.
   
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning supplements (like fish oil or aspirin) 24 hours before.
   
• Don’t wear matte lipstick the day of your appointment.
   
• If you’re prone to cold sores, ask your doctor about an antiviral (like Valtrex) — the procedure can trigger an outbreak.

Yes — absolutely! That’s what lip neutralization is for.
It’s safe, effective, and tailored to your natural undertones.
The process might take multiple sessions to achieve your ideal result, but each session brings your lips closer to a balanced, radiant tone.
Your color will heal warmer, softer, and more even each time.

You can still book, but we’ll need to evaluate your lips first.
If your old pigment is dark, cool, or uneven, you may need lip neutralization before we apply a new color.
This ensures your final results are even, healthy, and natural-looking.
