What to Expect During Your Lip Blush Appointment

Thinking about getting a lip blush but unsure what the process looks like? At Ink n Beauty, we believe in making every client feel confident and prepared. Here’s a complete guide to what you can expect during your lip blush appointment.

1. Personalized Consultation

Every appointment starts with a consultation. We’ll talk about:

• Your lip goals (natural tint, bold color, color correction)
• Skin tone and undertone
• Pre-existing pigmentation
• Any allergies or medical history

We’ll also show you a range of pigment options that complement your natural lip tone and overall complexion.

2. Pre-Draw and Shape Mapping

We don’t start until you approve the shape. Using symmetry mapping techniques, we outline the perfect lip shape that enhances your features while keeping a natural appearance.

✅ Client-approved shaping ensures no surprises.

3. Topical Numbing for Comfort

To keep you comfortable, we apply a strong topical numbing cream before starting. Most clients report minimal discomfort—often describing the sensation as a light scratching or buzzing.

4. Lip Blushing Begins

Using a PMU machine and professional-grade pigments, we carefully implant color into the lips. The session typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on the amount of correction or enhancement needed.

🎯 Precision and artistry matter—this is where our expertise shines.

5. Aftercare Instructions

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support healing. This includes:

• Avoiding spicy or hot foods for the first few days
• Applying a healing ointment
• Keeping lips clean and moisturized
• No picking or exfoliating during healing

Expect the color to look bold initially, then fade into a softer, more natural hue as it heals.

6. Healing Timeline

• Day 1–2: Slight swelling and vibrant color
• Day 3–7: Peeling and fading
• Week 2–4: Color continues to soften
• Week 6–8: Touch-up appointment, if needed

💡 Full results reveal themselves after the skin has completely healed.
