 How painful is Lip Blush or Lip Blushing?


Permanent Makeup for the lips (Lip Blushing or Lip Tinting) gained popularity during Covid Pandemic.  The use of masks has temporarily alleviated the chore of putting on Lip Stick and Lip Liners.  Women enjoyed the freedom of walking out of their house with bare lips.  However, we are no longer expected to wear masks indoors, therefore, some of us do not dare leave the house without adding color to our lips.

Pretty Please Studio Lip Blushing Healed


As we age, our lips naturally get thinner and pale in color.  Having a pop  of color refreshes the face and promotes youthfulness.  Permanent Makeup provides a service called Lip Blush, Lip Blushing, or Lip Tinting.  We outline the lips with pigment, then shade in the color throughout the lips.  The end result should look like Lip Gloss.  Translucent colors tend to age better.  It looks more natural than the opaque colors.  


The biggest concern with Permanent Makeup for the lips is pain.  How painful is it?  That all depends on the artist, product and technique.  Topical numbing products have a range in duration and efficacy.  As a permanent makeup artists, we can only use maximum 5%  Lidocaine.   Some clients get a "Dental Block" from their dentist prior to the procedure.  Some clients purchase their own numbing product online.  Whatever you choose, be sure to consult your Permanent Makeup Artist.


Putting on numbing cream at home prior to office visit will make the procedure MORE painful.  Most topical numbing cream or ointment have a limited time of efficacy.  Putting on numbing product longer does not guarantee less discomfort.   In my opinion, a Dental Block is not necessary.  It is an over kill.  Talk to your permanent makeup artist to discuss numbing plan of action.  Most artists numb the lip area before and during the procedure to ensure comfort.

Before Permanent Makeup Brows and Liner                                                       After Permanent Makeup Hairstroke Brows and Eyeliner                                                C ommon question asked by my clients: I had permanent eyeliner done in the past.  The original artist used Black pigment.  It looked great at first, but as the pigment faded, it turned Blue Grey.  Why does this happen and what can I do? As mentioned before, all pigment fades over time.  Carbon Black pigment has a lot of the primary Blue color.  Therefore, as the other colors in the Black fade, the blue color remains. Touch ups are essential to keeping permanent eyeliner looking fresh and crisp.  If you have blue grey liner, ask the artist to add Orange Pigment to the Black Pigment to counter balance the Blue.  The Orange pigment will turn the blue into a soft brown, and with the added black pigment, the blue will not be noticeable.
