Semi-Permanent Lips
What Is Semi-Permanent Makeup for Lips?
Lips are more than just a feature on our face; they're the expressive elements that convey our words, emotions, and often, our style. Factors like age, sun exposure, or even genetics might have led to faded lip colour or uneven tones. Welcome to the world of Semi-Permanent Makeup for Lips - a procedure that restores vibrancy and definition to your smile.
​
Commonly known as Lip Blush, Lip Tinting, or Cosmetic Lip Tattooing, this procedure marries the finesse of artistry with cutting-edge technology. Unlike traditional tattoos, which penetrate deeper layers, semi-permanent lip makeup delicately introduces pigment into the upper layers of the lip skin. The outcome? Naturally tinted lips that enhance your facial beauty and persist for years.

Understand Your Treatment Plan
How long does Semi-Permanent Makeup last?
Semi-Permanent Lip Makeup generally lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Over time, the pigment will naturally fade, and touch-ups may be required to maintain the desired look.
Is the Lip Tattooing procedure painful?
Some clients feel no sensation at all, others feel mild discomfort. Topical numbing is used to control discomfort if required. Clients say that having a procedure is comparable to having their eyebrows tweezered or their legs waxed.
​How do I choose the right lip shade and style for me?
​Kelly will guide you in selecting a shade and style that complements your skin tone, facial features, and personal preferences.
What is the aftercare process Lip Tattooing?
After treatment, you may experience some swelling/redness for up to 48 hours after your procedure. During the healing process, you will experience some scabbing of the area. It is vital that you try to keep the area as dry as possible during the healing process. We recommend you do not swim, sunbathe or use a sauna/jacuzzi for 1-2 week after the procedure.
