Lip Lining and Lip Blushing

Permanent makeup for lips is a great way to create the look you have always wanted for your lips, without fillers or surgery. Permanent lip makeup procedures define your lips, without creating excessive volume or puffiness. Lip designs are created with a wide range of pigment and cosmetic colors, to match every shade of lip color. At Adorn Cosmetic, we specialize in Lip Lining and Lip Blushing for our Bay Area clients. 

WHY PERMANENT MAKEUP FOR LIPS IS GAINING POPULARITY

Clients who choose lip lining or lip blushing service cite convenience as the #1 reason. Imagine never having to worry about these common makeup issues:

  • Your lipstick has worn off, smudged, or bled into the fine lines surrounding your mouth

  • You need to constantly re-apply lipstick throughout your day

  • Your lipstick has caked on your lips or smeared onto your teeth

  • You can never find that perfect shade of lipstick

Other Benefits of Permanent Lip Color:

  • Give your lips a fuller look

  • Add missing bow above your lip

  • Add shape to your mouth

  • Smooth vermillion edges by tattooing shape and defining border

  • Provides definition of colorless lips

Between these benefits, and the minimal downtime for results that last up to 2 years, it’s no wonder that permanent makeup for lips is so popular.

WHAT IS LIP LINING?

Permanent lip liner is a gentle form of tattoo for the lips. It outlines and shapes your lips for a fuller, but still natural look. Lip lining can also make your lips look younger, more symmetrical, better defined, and slightly more pigmented. And, you will no longer have to worry about dry lips, or color coming off when you kiss, eat, drink, or sleep! 

Similar to permanent eyeliner and eyebrows, lip lining is a less drastic alternative to invasive procedures, such as Juvederm, Restylane, Voluma, and Perlane. To achieve the most appropriate color, various shades of pink are blended to match your natural tone. If you wish to achieve greater lip contour definition, a darker color can be selected for your lip liner procedure. With lip lining, you can look as if you’ve just applied a fresh coat of your favorite lipstick, all day every day!

IS LIP LINER TATTOO PAINFUL?

You might experience more pain with a lip tattoo compared with other areas of the body, such as an arm or leg tattoo. Keep in mind that pain thresholds vary from person to person. Before the procedure a topical numbing cream will be applied, after which most people experience an initial sensation similar to having eyebrows plucked. Once the skin has been opened, another numbing cream is applied which completely numbs the area. After both numbing agents have been applied all most people experience is pressure.

WHO IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR PERMANENT LIP LINER?

This treatment is best for a client who is ready to minimize the makeup routine. If you are used to wearing pencil, lipstick, and lip gloss, you may be a candidate for permanent lip liner. We also see clients who wish to correct lip asymmetries. Additionally, you may wish to consider lip lining if your lip color and definition have faded due to age. 

WHAT IS LIP BLUSHING?

Lip blushing is a semi permanent tattooing method that enhances the beauty of natural lips. This treatment can correct asymmetry, add definition and fullness. We can also redefine your lip shape to create a new look. With the help of semi-permanent makeup, you can de-emphasize age lines around lips and correct fading color of the lips. Look younger, create the pout you’ve always wanted, or simply enjoy the convenience of a lipstick-free life. 

HOW DOES LIP BLUSHING WORK?

A custom blended lip color is gently implanted via permanent makeup lip techniques. Brand new and sterilized equipment are used for each client, then disposed of properly. The color is customized for every client, therefore, you can be sure to achieve the desired effect.

The goal is to give lips life and a natural boost of color without being too dramatic. Pigment choice is important, as any blue, purple or brown undertones must be balanced with orange modifying pigments. We also consider your natural skin and lip tone
