Lip blushing, a type of semi-permanent makeup that adds a wash of color to your lips and helps define your lip shape for years.
The result is kind of like lip fillers, that your lips will look a little fuller simply by being defined and enhanced with pigment—but lip blushing won’t change the shape or feeling of your lips. Instead, it’ll just leave you with a soft, shaded-in color that can enhance your lip symmetry, cover uneven pigmentation or scars, and give you the illusion of bigger, fuller lips.
Lip blushing generally doesn’t leave behind any scars, but it can leave your lips swollen, irritated, and scabbed-over for the first week. There are always risks being aware of with any cosmetic procedure, especially if you’re prone to irritation around your lips, so make sure to discuss any concerns, allergies, and skin sensitivities with your artist before you make the appointment.
