What it is
Lip shading — also called lip blushing — is a semi-permanent technique that enhances the natural color and shape of your lips with a soft, buildable tint. It restores definition to lips that have lost color over time and creates a healthy, your-lips-but-better finish.
The appointment includes a consultation to choose your color, professional lip mapping for a balanced shape, and numbing cream applied for your comfort before the pigment is worked in with a machine.
What's included
Set aside roughly two to two and a half hours. After consultation and mapping, numbing cream is applied and the lip color is built up gradually until the shade and shape are exactly what you want.
- ✓Thorough consultation to discuss your desired color and look
- ✓Professional lip mapping for a customized shape
- ✓Application of numbing cream for your comfort
- ✓Lip shading procedure using a tattoo machine and high-quality pigments
Touch-ups & maintenance
Lips heal over about four to six weeks, and the color softens noticeably before revealing its final, natural-looking tint.
An initial touch-up is highly recommended within about six weeks of your first session — booking within that window secures both your spot and your price. With an annual touch-up, lip shading can stay vibrant for two to three years.
How you care for the area while it heals decides how well it settles. Read the full aftercare instructions before your appointment.
