Lip Styles
Lip Lining
Lip Blushing
Lip Neutralization
Lip lining is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, enhances the natural lip shape, and gives the appearance of fuller lips through tinted colour.
Lip blushing can give you fuller looking lips by lining the vermillion border with a colour similar to your lips.
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, enhances the natural lip colour, and gives the appearance of fuller lips through tinted colour.
Lip blushing can give you a natural colour or a make up look! It can be further paired with a simple gloss, or a thin lipstick to give you bold colour.
Lip Neutralization is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, neutralizes natural lip colours with dark undertones and gives the appearance of brighter lips through tinted colour.
Lip neutralization is the first step in the lip blushing process for those with hyperpigmentation. Once the shade is neutralized, you can add colour or leave it for a more natural looking appearance.
