Looking for the ultimate ‘woke up like this’ beauty treatment? The next generation of semi-permanent make-up is here, and ready to elevate your natural look, starting with colour-kissed pouts. Long-lasting and low maintenance, lip blush is the ideal option for those looking to streamline their beauty routine – and is the perfect sumdge-proof lip colour solution for when you need to wear a protective face mask. Read on for everything you need to know about the semi-permanent treatment for luscious lips.
1 // An effortless lip look
So what is lip blush? Simply put, lip blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that focuses on delivering a measured amount of pigment to the lips using a teeny needle device. After your lips are numbed, your Dubai lip tattoo expert will outline where you would like to add your chosen shade of pigment, before starting the treatment. The technique mimics the natural colouration patterns of your lips, delivering a sheer pigment to enhance the lip color, cover any pigmentation, improve a fading lip line and give the illusion of a fuller and plumper pout.
2 // Your lips, but better
The result subtly enhances your lips’ appearance with a colour-stained flush, rather than cloaking your natural beauty. The pigment used in Brau’s lip blush treatment is carefully positioned to define the lips without obviously overlining, for a perfectly natural finish. Deftly adding colour, your lip tattoo therapist will build up your chosen hue to enhance the lip shape, filling in any gaps in prominent areas like the cupid’s bow and lower lip curve for a natural pillow lip look. Lip blush is also used to even out asymmetrical lips, adding weight and fullness to exactly where it’s needed
3 // The new natural
Long gone are the days of old-school make-up tattoos, with the new and improved techniques and pigments working to create a natural finish. While traditional permanent make-up tattoos were once known for their thick definition, they have since evolved with the times as trends like berry-brown lipliner and dense kohl eyeliner have been left behind. The technology and products have upgraded too – from a heavy-handed approach that pushed synthetic, carbon-based pigments deep into the skin, to the new hi-tech needles that pin-prick organic hues into the dermis for total control of placement and density.
4 // Lush lips for years
In the majority of cases, only two lip blush appointments are required – one initial treatment, and a second for touch-ups – and you’re primed for several years of continued lip colour. While your lips may appear brighter than expected immediately after your treatment, the shade will blend into a softer hue in the following weeks. What can cause your semi-permanent lip blush to fade? Just as with eyebrow microblading aftercare, lifestyle habits such as smoking, tanning and high usage of exfoliating skincare on the treated areas can shorten the life of your lip blush and causing fading.
