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.

Common questions
What is lip shading?
Also called lip blushing — a semi-permanent technique that enhances the natural colour and shape of the lips with a soft, buildable tint.
How long does lip shading last?
Two to three years with an annual touch-up.
Does lip shading change your lip shape?
It restores definition and balance through professional lip mapping, but it works with your natural lip line rather than drawing a new one.
How long does lip blushing take to heal?
About four to six weeks. The colour looks much brighter at first and softens noticeably before settling into its final, natural-looking tint.
Do I need to pay a deposit to book?
Yes. Booking online takes a deposit through our payment processor, Stripe: $25 for services listed at $200 and above, $15 for $100 to $199, and $10 under $100. It is not an extra charge, it comes off your bill when you arrive, and you can change your appointment once, free, as long as it is at least 48 hours before it starts. If you cancel your appointment, do not come to it, or arrive more than 15 minutes late, the deposit is not returned. If you have missed an appointment with us before without cancelling it, you pay the full price when you book instead of a deposit.
