Beautiful lips. 24 hours a day.
Lip Blush is a semi-permanent tattoo treatment that enhances the natural shape of your lips — giving you full, defined, naturally coloured lips that last 2–3 years, without the upkeep.
Lip Blush is a semi-permanent tattoo treatment that enhances the natural shape and colour of your lips. This is not the old style of semi-permanent makeup — thick, bold lip liners that can look dated and unnatural. Lip Blush is about making your lips even, creating the illusion of volume and ensuring that the colour stays put in any situation.
The treatment is subtle and buildable — it can be as natural or as defined as you desire. Whether you want a soft, barely-there tint or a more defined, full-colour result, Lip Blush is tailored entirely to your preference. All you need to do is add a little gloss and you're good to go.
If you suffer from cold sores, you must speak with your doctor to be prescribed and complete a course of antiviral medication prior to your appointment. Please make us aware of this when booking.
Please note that darker skin tones may not be suitable for Lip Blush due to cool undertones occurring in the skin pigmentation. Please get in touch prior to booking so we can advise you.
Please read the Pre & Post Care guide and Before You Book page thoroughly before booking your Lip Blush appointment — there are important preparation steps to follow before your session.
Plan ahead — Lip Blush requires some downtime. The colour will appear much darker in the 48 hours post treatment, and you may experience peeling and flaking for up to 7 days. Keep the area dry (with the exception of the balm provided).
Keep this in mind when planning around hair washing, events and holidays. Avoid oily, salty and spicy foods during the healing phase, and use straws for all beverages.
Once the peeling phase has completed, the colour may appear to have completely vanished. This is entirely normal — it is called the ghosting phase and is part of the natural healing cycle. The colour will bloom back gradually over the following weeks.
Results vary between every individual depending on skin type, aftercare and lifestyle. This will always be discussed honestly at your consultation.
A consultation is included either prior to or at the start of every Lip Blush appointment so we can discuss which option is best for you.
We discuss your desired shape, colour and finish. Reference photos are welcome. We'll also review your medical history and check suitability before booking.
We spend time carefully mapping out the shape and colour. Once you're happy, numbing cream is applied to ensure you're comfortable throughout the treatment.
Pigment is carefully implanted into the lips using specialist SPMU equipment. Sessions are 2–3 hours. We check in with you regularly throughout.
Follow your care guide carefully. Your included top-up at 6–8 weeks perfects the colour, shape and coverage. Annual colour boosts maintain your results long-term.
The area is numbed prior to and throughout the treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or tingling rather than pain. Sensitivity varies between individuals.
Lip Blush typically lasts 2–3 years. With time and sun exposure the pigment can lighten. An annual colour boost top-up is recommended to keep the result looking its best.
Patch tests are optional for Lip Blush. If you would like one arranged prior to your appointment, please contact Penny directly to organise this.
Yes — all new SPMU clients must complete a digital consent form at least 48 hours before their appointment. Treatment cannot go ahead without this.
Once the peeling phase completes, the colour may appear to have vanished completely. This is completely normal — it is called the ghosting phase. The colour blooms back gradually over 2–4 weeks as the skin heals from the inside out.
Yes — but only after an assessment. If previous pigment is too dark or saturated we may recommend saline removal first. Please get in touch before booking if you have existing Lip Blush.
Plan for around 7 days of keeping the area dry and following aftercare. The colour will appear much darker for the first 48 hours. You can resume normal makeup and skincare on the treated area once fully healed.
