Lips
Distinctive and Bold
Lips are often considered the main focal point when speaking. They add significant expression and enunciation to the delivery of speech. A person’s age, health, emotional status, and general attitude is judged by the appearance of the lips. Permanent makeup lip coloring can be used to significantly enhance the beauty and appearance of the lips by making them appear fuller, reducing inconsistencies in the lip contour and shape, improving the cupids bow, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lip area.
Lip Blushing is a great way to enhance your natural lips. Lip Blush is a cosmetic tattoo that can be used to balance symmetry, increase the appearance of the lip size, camouflage scars on the lip tissue, change the color of the lips, and create a more youthful lip appearance. Lip Blush is a natural looking enhancement.
Lipstick Effect The procedure not only enhances the color, contour, and beauty of the lips, but also gives you confidence by eliminating the fear of smearing or the unexpected lipstick on front teeth. Permanent lip color is wonderful for the lipstick connoisseur because you can always enhance or change your permanent lip color with lipstick if desired, but still feel confident that you have you have the perfect color and shape without applying lip gloss.
Lip Correction is where we will go in and correct areas in the lips where there may be a missing or dissolved border and can even involve a scar in the area as well. When we go in to do a lip correction, there may be additional touch ups needed other than just the initial one, but either way, we strive to get you to your desired outcome.
Dark Lip Neutralization uses the science of color to lighten, brighten, balance, and accentuate lips that have unwanted dark tones. We do a treatment series for those with cool or dark lips in which we neutralize the darkness in the lips to reach a desired color. With dark lip neutralization, we include the initial appointment as well as 2 touch ups, if needed. Each session is spread out at least 6 weeks apart. It may take 1-3 sessions to achieve your look, and there are special cases in which additional sessions are needed. Results will vary person to person base upon their natural starting point and end goals. Each session is done 6 to 8 weeks apart, as it will take that long for the color to fully develop in between sessions.Typically, we will do dark lip neutralization in those who are Fitzpatrick Scale 3 and up. This procedure is a journey, but it is always worth it! Truly magic!
Lip Q&A
How long does it last?
Typically, permanent lip procedures last between two to three years and will gradually lighten and fade over time, until your lips slowly return to their natural hue. There are cases where they fade after about a year, as well as those whose lip tattoo lasts up to 5 years. It's all very individual and depends on many factors. Themaintenance/color boost touch-up session is performed within 12-36 months of the last service to maintain the pigment color and shape.
Will it correct Inconsistencies with Permanent Makeup Lip Procedure

Most lips have imperfections become more prominent with age. The lip procedure can permanently correct color imperfections, and even improves the lip shape by adding definition.

Can I Enhance the Cupids Bow with Permanent Makeup?
The Permanent Makeup Lip Procedure can help to significantly enhance and improve the cupid bow (the peaks of the upper lip under each nostril). This area can either be too pointed, too flat, uneven, or just nonexistent.
Our technicians work with cupid bows and have produced dramatic improvements to the appearance and beauty of hundreds of clients.
Do I get to choose the color for Permanent Makeup?
Britt is a highly educated in color theory and how to choose the correct color for you to have your desired healed results. We As with all permanent makeup procedures, color selection is a critical component that is often mishandled by less experienced technicians. The challenge is that color implanted in the skin will soften and change during the healing process. The final color is only apparent when the area has exfoliated and healed, something that can take over 2 – 3 weeks and the true color will not show until 6- 8 weeks.
There is no one size fits all when selecting the right color for permanent makeup procedures. Clients’ hair color and skin tones are carefully examined from an artistic perspective. Often clients will be asked to bring in their favorite lip liners and lipstick, brow shades, and eyeliners or even a picture of them with their favorite look.
Does it hurt?
The pain of having lip blush tattoo created is very mild. On a scale of 1-10 most clients would rate it as a 3. The pain you experience is controlled by numbing. Numbing is used both before the semi-permanent service is preformed and during the procedure as well. Unlike the process of getting a traditional tattoo, lip blushing is done on the surface layers of the skin. Making cosmetic tattoo semi-permanent and way less painful!
How long does it take?
The process of having this treatment done takes about 3 hours. Prior to tattooing the lip color, we must pre draw and create the shape that will work best for you and your lip goals. We must also consult about what to expect and choose the right color for what you are looking to achieve. Finally, before the lip blushing begins, a 30-minute session of numbing. We like to keep our clients comfortable and relaxed while enjoying a beauty treatment with us.
