Slimming Down Your Morning Makeup Routine
Are you spending way too long trying to get your lip liner to blend with your lipstick? Is there a better way to get that natural look without wasting time in front of your mirror?
Lip blushing may be the permanent cosmetic application of your dreams. Similar to a tattoo, a quality lip blush treatment will mean you are always ready to hit the beach, squeeze in a yoga class, and make it to the morning meeting without touching a wand of lip color.
Ruth Swissa, as the go-to permanent cosmetic professional in Beverly Hills and Calabasas, offers this quick FAQ to answer all your questions about lip blushing.
How does lip blushing work?
Lip blushing is also called a cosmetic tattoo. Your certified medical micro-pigmentation specialist applies a topical anesthetic to your lip area. Next, ink is injected using tiny needles into the dermis, which is the layer of skin beneath the surface.
The result is a permanent blush that gives your lips a natural, healthy, plump glow. You never need to use lipstick or liner to look your best. Go swimming, lick your lips after eating ice cream, and talk all day on the phone. The blush stays just as fresh as it did yesterday and the day before that.
Is lip blushing really permanent?
Like any tattoo, your lip blush will look its very best for about two to three years. You may want to update your look at that time as your skin ages with another application, but the blush will never completely fade. An experienced specialist can make subtle improvements that blend your blush with natural face tones.
Naturally Blushed Lips for Women and Men
Lip blushing works well for many different types of people. For men with thin lips, a careful lip blush can give you a more attractive appearance without making it look like you raided your sister’s makeup case.
Ladies, this isn’t about always having the ruby-red lips you want for a night out dancing. It’s more about giving your face a healthy glow for a dazzling smile even before your morning latte.
Anyone who often thinks that their lips should be a little more pink, more even, or even less pronounced might enjoy the benefits of a lip blush treatment.
Personalized Coloring for Every Skin Tone
There is no single best color for lip blushing. It is a customized solution for every client. People from every ethnic background, including Asian, African American, Hispanic, and European, will find the perfect shade to bring out their natural beauty and confidence.
Before your procedure, you will meet with your cosmetic artist. They will consider your natural coloring and create a custom palette of tints. You will agree upon a soft natural blush that you love before you feel the first needle.
Does lip blushing hurt?
You may feel some discomfort during the application process, as tiny needles are used. It can feel a bit like tapping your fingernail repeatedly on your lips. The procedure can take between a half hour to several hours, depending on the intricacy of the coloration.
Afterward, some clients experience swelling and a minor stinging sensation. Ice packs can help minimize the discomfort. However, think about the 10 minutes you get back every morning that you spent getting your lip liner to look right. How often did you feel like you were coloring outside the lines? A few days of swelling and irritation seems like a fair trade.
A Permanent Solution to Conceal Scars and Discoloration
If you have freckles on your lips or maybe a scar from an injury, lip blushing could hide the disfigurement. The tattoo artist can extend the pigments to the surrounding facial area and restore a more natural lip line while hiding scar tissue.
Like a typical lip blush treatment, pigments that match your skin tone are inserted beneath the surface of the scar to diminish its appearance. Freckles are blended so you don’t have to fight with concealer and color daily. Best of all, you will always show off your best smile and never have to worry if your makeup made it through the day.
Can you tell if it’s makeup or lip blushing?
How do you know that you found the best permanent cosmetic professional? When you look in the mirror and only see the most fabulous reflection. A great color match means that you never do a double-take before leaving the ladies’ room. You might even try to rub it off the first few times while getting ready for bed.
The real key to finding the perfect tint for your lips is avoiding trending bright colors seen on social media or crowding the shelves at the cosmetics counter. While your lips may be the talk of the town this season, next year they might fight with your new wardrobe choices. Listen to your permanent makeup artist.
Is lip blushing the same as lip filler?
While lip blushing can give your lips a plump appearance, it does not actually make them fuller. Lip filler is where your cosmetic professional injects a synthetic substance to give your flesh more volume. It does not affect the color of your skin and most fillers last about a year.
It is possible to have both blush and filler done, but not at the same time.
