Not all lips are perfectly shaped, but this can be corrected with permanent makeup through the use of a natural, custom-blended color. Lip blushing is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure to enhance your lips' natural color and shape, giving them a fuller and more defined appearance. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to subtly improve their lip color, correct asymmetry, or create the appearance of volume without invasive treatments.

Irregular lip lines can be redefined with a liner procedure. A full-color procedure can restore faded lips, giving them a fresher and younger appearance. Permanent cosmetics can make thin lips fuller and drooping corners appear lifted. Having correctly contoured and defined lips creates a youthful appearance.
The lip blushing procedure begins with a consultation, where you’ll discuss your desired outcome with one of the lip experts at PermaLine Cosmetics.
On the day of the procedure, your specialist will apply a numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort throughout your session. They will then carefully outline your lips and begin applying the pigment in layers, gradually building up the color to achieve the desired effect. The entire process typically takes between 1 and 3 hours. After the procedure, your lips may appear slightly darker than expected, but this will fade to a softer, more natural color as they heal.
Lip blushing is ideal for addressing a range of concerns, including pale or unevenly pigmented lips, asymmetrical lip shape, and thinning lips. The procedure can also help correct scars or other imperfections, providing a more uniform and balanced appearance.
Advantages:
Lip blushing is suitable for most individuals who wish to enhance their natural lip color and shape. However, if you have a history of cold sores, taking antiviral medication before and after the procedure is important to prevent outbreaks. Those with certain medical conditions or allergies should consult their healthcare provider before undergoing lip blushing.
Lip Blushing Recovery
After the procedure, your lips may be slightly tender and swollen. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a day. You’ll need to moisturize your lips and avoid picking at flaking skin as they heal. Most clients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities the next day. It’s important to follow all the aftercare instructions your permanent makeup artist provides to ensure an excellent result.
