Everything You Need to Know About Lip Blush

Lip blush has quickly become one of the most popular permanent makeup treatments—and for good reason. Whether you’re looking to restore lost colour, add definition, or simply cut down on your daily lipstick routine, this technique offers a beautiful, natural solution. But what exactly is lip blush, and what can you expect from the treatment?

What Is Lip Blush?

Lip blush is a form of permanent makeup that uses a PMU (permanent makeup) machine to implant pigment into the lips. Unlike old-fashioned lip tattooing, which often looked harsh, lip blush creates a soft wash of colour that enhances your natural lips rather than covering them completely.

Depending on your preference, lip blush can be subtle (like a tinted balm) or more defined (like a lipstick effect). The technique also improves the shape of the lips, adds symmetry, and can even create the illusion of more fullness.

Who Is Lip Blush Suitable For?

Lip blush is suitable for most clients and is especially beneficial for those who:

• Have pale, uneven, or fading natural lip colour

• Want more definition in their lip shape

• Prefer a low-maintenance beauty routine

• Love the look of tinted lips without the daily application of makeup

• 
  

It may not be suitable for clients with certain medical conditions, or those prone to cold sores unless preventative medication is taken beforehand.

How Long Does Lip Blush Last?

Results generally last 1–3 years, with the colour gradually fading over time. Like brows, a top-up appointment (usually 6–12 weeks after the initial session) is required to perfect the colour and shape.

The Treatment Process

1. Consultation – Your artist will discuss your desired shade and finish, as well as check your suitability.

2. Pre-draw – The lip shape is outlined to ensure balance and symmetry.

3. Treatment – Using a PMU machine, pigment is carefully deposited to create a soft blush of colour.

4. Healing – Lips may appear darker at first, then soften and lighten as they heal.

5. Top-Up – A second session perfects the colour and ensures long-lasting results.

Why Choose Lip Blush?

• Restores natural lip colour and definition

• Can be customised from subtle to bold

• Creates the look of fuller, more youthful lips

• Long-lasting with minimal maintenance
