Lip Blush is a cosmetic tattooing treatment that implants carefully selected pigment into the lips.
It is designed to add a soft wash of colour, improve the appearance of uneven lip tone and create greater definition around the natural lip border.
Pigment is selected and blended according to your colouring and preferred result. Lip Blush does not contain dermal filler and does not physically enlarge the lips.
What it helps
Lip Blush may be considered for:
Lip Blush cannot extend significantly beyond the natural lip tissue or create the structural change provided by lip filler.

How it works
Your appointment begins with a consultation, colour selection and careful mapping of the natural lip border.
A specialist cosmetic tattooing device is used to implant pigment into the lips. Immediately after treatment, the colour will appear brighter and more intense, and temporary swelling is expected.
The pigment softens as the lips heal. A second perfecting appointment is used to assess retention and refine the colour or finish where appropriate.
Our approach
Semi-permanent make-up should complement your features rather than follow one fixed shape, colour or trend. At Skin Techniques, Jess considers your natural colouring, facial proportions, existing hair or lip tone and how defined or subtle you would like the finished result to appear.
Our semi-permanent make-up treatments include brow and lip options, with every design agreed before pigment is implanted.
If you already have pigment in your brows or lips, please tell us before booking. Existing pigment can affect the colour, shape and technique available, and laser removal may sometimes be recommended before a new treatment.
Our other semi-permanent lip treatments include HD Lips for greater emphasis on definition, symmetry and an even wash of colour, and Ombré Lips for a softly graduated effect.
Your questions
No. Lip Blush adds pigment and definition but does not add physical volume. Greater border definition may make the lips appear more defined, but it does not replace lip filler.
Lip Blush gradually fades. Longevity varies according to pigment retention, skin, sun exposure, lifestyle, skincare and adherence to aftercare.
The lips may initially appear swollen and much brighter than the intended result. Dryness and flaking can occur before the colour softens and settles.
Potentially, but the filler should be fully settled and both treatments must be appropriately spaced. Tell us when your filler was performed before booking.
You must also tell us if you have a history of cold sores, as lip tattooing can trigger an outbreak and medical advice may be required before treatment.
