You're not the only one considering enhancing your lips with Lip Blush or Dark Lip Neutralisation! These Permanent Makeup (PMU) treatments have gained popularity among those who want naturally tinted, well-defined lips without the hassle of daily lipstick application.
But before you book your appointment, it’s important to separate fact from fiction and understand what to expect from the procedure. Also check the contraindications which prevent one from getting the procedure done. Here’s everything you need to know before opting for Lip Blush or Dark Lip Neutralisation.
What is Lip blush?
Lip Blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the natural color and shape of your lips. It’s designed to give your lips a soft, natural tint, improving symmetry and definition while maintaining a fresh, “just-bitten” look.
Key benefits of lip blush:
✔ Enhances natural lip color
✔ Creates a soft, tinted effect (not heavy lipstick)
✔ Improves lip symmetry and shape
✔ Gives the illusion of fuller lips
✔ Long-lasting results (1-3 years with proper care)
What is dark lip neutralisation?
Dark Lip Neutralisation is a specialized PMU treatment designed for individuals with cool-toned, darker, or unevenly pigmented lips. It works by correcting the underlying pigmentation before applying the desired color to achieve a balanced, warm, and even-toned lip shade.
Who needs dark lip neutralisation?
✔ Those with naturally dark or hyperpigmented lips
✔ People with uneven lip tones
✔ Individuals with Fitzpatrick Skin Types 4-6 who want a brighter lip color
✔ Anyone wanting a more even, warm-toned lip shade
Common myths vs. facts:
Myth #1: Lip blush is just like getting lipstick tattooed.
✅ Fact: Lip Blush is designed to enhance your natural lip tone, not replace bold lipstick. It creates a soft, sheer wash of color, which can be adjusted to your preference.
Myth #2: Dark lip neutralisation will instantly make my lips pink.
✅ Fact: Neutralisation is a process, not an instant change. Depending on the depth of pigmentation, it may require multiple sessions to lighten the lips before achieving the desired color.
Myth #3: Lip Blush is painful.
✅ Fact: A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure, making it very comfortable for most clients.
Myth #4: It will look too dark after the procedure.
✅ Fact: Your lips will appear darker for the first few days but will soften into a more natural shade as they heal. The final result is visible after 4-6 weeks.
Myth #5: Results last forever.
✅ Fact: Lip Blush and Neutralisation are semi-permanent, meaning they fade over time. Most clients will need a touch-up after 12-18 months to maintain the color.
What to expect during the procedure
✔ Consultation: We assess your lips, discuss your goals, and choose a custom pigment for your skin tone.
✔ Numbing: A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort.
✔ Pigment Application: A PMU device deposits pigment in layers to create an even, natural color.
✔ Healing Process: Initial darkness fades within 7-10 days, and the final result is visible after 4-6 weeks.
Aftercare: How to maintain your new lips
📌 First 7 Days:
✔ Keep lips moisturised with a recommended healing balm
✔ Avoid spicy, hot, or acidic foods
✔ No rubbing, licking, or picking at peeling skin
📌 Long-Term:
