Lip blush, also known as semi-permanent lip colour or lip micropigmentation, uses a fine needle to deposit pigment into the upper layers of the lip skin. The result is a natural-looking wash of colour that defines the lip border, evens out discolouration, and creates the appearance of fuller, more youthful lips — soft, sheer and completely customisable to your skin tone.

Your appointment begins with a full consultation where we discuss your desired colour, shape and finish, and select a pigment that complements your skin tone. A topical numbing cream is applied before we begin, so most clients find the treatment very comfortable. The full session takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, followed by a touch-up at 6 to 8 weeks to perfect the colour and ensure beautiful, lasting results.

Lip blush typically lasts between 2 and 3 years depending on your skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. Factors such as sun exposure, oily skin and certain skincare products can cause the colour to fade more quickly. Annual colour refresh appointments help maintain the vibrancy of your results.

Lip blush suits anyone wanting defined, coloured lips without daily makeup effort — especially those with uneven lip colour, faded lip borders, or a busy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood-thinning medication, please contact us before booking as these may be contraindications.

Your lips will appear darker and more intense for the first few days — this is completely normal. The colour softens and settles over 4 to 6 weeks to reveal your true healed result. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking or peeling flaking skin, stay out of direct sunlight, and avoid swimming, saunas and heavy exercise for at least one week.
