From microblading your eyebrows all the way to tattooing a smattering of freckles across your cheeks (real thing), lots of beauty connoisseurs are turning to cosmetic tattooing for hassle-free makeup looks. Some are more practical than others, of course (microblading, for example, all but eliminates the need for brow gels and pencils), but lip blushing is one that may be flying under the radar.
Pretty much what it sounds like, lip blushing gives you semi-permanent lip color without having to deal with the drying issues of a matte lipstick or the fleetingness of a gloss. Using organic pigments, you can custom-choose a shade that experts will adjust according to your natural skin tone to deepen the coloring of your lips. Rather than just filling, though (goodbye, lip liner), blushing uses shades and lines with a pixelating process to apply pigment, giving your pout a more defined look and providing the illusion that your lips have been plumped. Take that, Kylie Jenner.
Lip blushing stays fresh for about two years with no retouching, and clients can even adjust the coloring they’re left with if they’re unhappy. It’s a painless process and shouldn’t cause any side effects, but it costs a pretty penny: prices range from $500 to $1,500.
That being said, lip blushing isn’t for everyone! If you’re someone that applies lipstick like it’s going out of style (which it’s not, making blushing a viable option), then maybe a subtle, semi-permanent sheen is right up your alley! Conversely, if you’ve never ventured farther than a good balm and don’t really care to, perhaps you’re better off sticking with your natural lip color.
