Semi-Permanent Makeup treatments have massively risen in popularity over the last few years, and lip blushing has emerged as an extremely sought after treatment. Celebs, Influencers, and people with high powered or busy lifestyles have made lip blushing their new holy grail! Offering natural, long-lasting tint to enhance your lips, this treatment is often asked for in our Kettering beauty and aesthetics clinic, so we thought we’d put together a guide to give you all the information you may need if you’re considering trying lip blushing (you’re welcome)!
Lip Blushing is a form of Semi Permanent Makeup that enhance the colour and natural shape of your lips, using a specialised tattooing technique.
What is lip blushing?
Pigments are applied into the lips to create a soft tint. Unlike traditional lip tattoos, which can be harsh and bold, lip blushing focuses on creating a more subtle blush -like effect.
To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that of the individual languages. The new common language will be more simple.
The aim of Lip Blushing is to:
- Enhance your natural features
- Define the shape and contour of your lips
- Correct uneven pigmentation or asymmetry
- Create the illusion of fuller, more youthful lips
The beauty of lip blushing is it is highly customisable, allowing you to choose a shade that compliments your skin tone and personal style, you can even bring your favourite lip liners and lip colours for us to shade match to.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
Semi-permanent makeup can be seen as an extreme solution, but there are many benefits:
- Long Lasting Results: Enjoy beautiful, tinted lips for 2-3 years with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: Achieve a soft, flushed look that enhances your features and/or mimics your natural lip tone.
- Low Maintenance: No need to wear lipstick or constant touch-ups.
- Corrects Imperfections: If you don’t like your lip pigmentation or unevenness, this could be a perfect solution, making you feel more confident without the need for surgery or fillers.
Any new procedure can be nerve wracking, but don’t worry, we’re here to make you feel more comfortable and prepared for your appointment! So here is what you can expect, from start to finish:
- We will begin by inviting you in for a rigorous consultation, to discuss your desired lip colour, lip shape, and overall goals.
- When you are comfortable and happy to proceed, your practitioner will gently exfoliate your lips and a numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Using a fine, sterile needle, we will carefully apply the pigment in layers to achieve a natural, gradient effect.
- Once the procedure is complete, we will make sure you are feeling good and review aftercare to help you maintain your results.
Lip Blushing Aftercare Tips:
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your lip blushing results heal beautifully, and last as long as possible. Here are our top tips for aftercare:
- Keep your lips clean and moisturised
- Avoid spicy foods, hot drinks, and excessive lip movement during the initial healing phase.
- Refrain from picking at any dry or healing skin
- Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid swimming for at least two weeks
- Attend your touch up appointment to perfect the colour and shape
Healing typically takes around 7-10 days, during which time you might experience some flaking and scabbing while the final colour settles.
How Long Does Lip Blushing Last?
The results can last anywhere from 2-3 years, depending on factors such as:
- Skin type (oily skin may cause the pigment to fade faster).
- Sun Exposure
- Lifestyle habits (smoking can effect longevity)
- Aftercare compliance
A touch-up session is generally recommended 6-8 weeks after the initial appointment to refine the colour and ensure long lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Lip Blushing hurt?
Most of our clients report minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing cream applied before and during the procedure.
Can I still wear lipstick after Lip Blushing?
Yes! Once your lips are fully healed you will be able to wear lipstick if you want to switch up your look. However, some clients never go back to lipstick.
What if I don’t like the results after my first session?
Our comprehensive consultation process is there to make sure we fully understand your goals and expected outcome. In the rare occurrence that you are unhappy after your first session, or you have seen the results and would like to adjust, this can be done in your top-up appointment.
Will my lips look swollen after the procedure?
Mild swelling is normal immediately after the procedure and should typically subside within 24-48 hours. Applying a cold compress can help reduce any swelling.
Can I get Lip Blushing if I have lip fillers?
Yes, many clients who have fillers opt for lip blushing to enhance their overall lip appearance. We do, however, recommend waiting four weeks after getting fillers to have a lip blushing procedure.
