Your lips, but better. Lip blushing is a cosmetic tattoo technique that creates a beautiful flushed lip that defines your lip shape. At Beauclair Studio, I offer different lip blush styles tailored to each client’s goals, ranging from enhancing your natural lip color to matching your favorite lip products.
STYLES
Flushed - a more sheer effect enhancing your natural lip color
Lipstick Effect- a more opaque lipstick look
Dark Lip Neutralization - lightens dark lips to a client’s desired pink
Dark Lip Enhancement - enhances dark lip color and evens out spots that naturally lack pigment, giving a natural dark lip look.
Lip Liner - love the bold liner look? Make it permanent.
Ombre - Darker lip liner with a lighter center.

FAQs
HOW MANY SESSIONS OF LIP BLUSH DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE LOOK?
Most styles typically take 2 sessions to complete, but with more saturated or neutralization styles, 3-4 sessions is typical.
HOW LONG DOES LIP BLUSH LAST?
I allow 3 hours for a lip blush session. It typically takes 1 hour to prep and numb and then 1 -2 hours of tattooing.
SHOULD I EXPECT FADING?
Yes, final results can fade 30-50%. Thats why we build up pigment with multiple sessions.
WHEN SHOULD I EXPECT TO REDO MY LIPS AFTER THE INITIAL SESSIONS?
2-4 years, but since it’s permanent makeup, you’ll still have residual pigment, but clients typically want a color boost after the 2 to 4 year mark.
WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE?
Lips be sore for the first few days. You’ll be taking care of your lips for 10-12 days. The final result is visible after 6-8 weeks. Click here for aftercare.
HOW MUCH IS LIP BLUSHING?
The initial session is $500 +tax. Each 6-8 week touch up is $100 +tax
CAN YOU OVERLINE LIPS WHEN LIP BLUSHING?
NO! Lip skin is different than facial skin so pigment takes differently and the healed results will not heal well and will fade unevenly.
CAN LIP BLUSHING MAKE YOUR LIPS LOOK BIGGER?
Yes. Although we can’t overline our lips, our lips typically lose pigment 1-2mm away from our actual lip line, so lip blushing can allow our lips to look fuller by giving color to the lip line that naturally lacks color.
WILL MY LIPS STAND OUT IF I DONT WEAR MAKEUP?
No, my goal, regardless of the style we go with, is that every result looks natural and compliments your features. Once lips are healed, they are the perfect base if you want to create a more filled in look with makeup for a night out or event.
DO YOU MAP AND PRE DRAW?
Yes! Every lip I create is mapped per the client’s natural lip structure. I will pre-draw the lip outline, helping you visualize the end result. You will always approve the lip shape before we begin.
CAN YOU HELP ME DETERMINE THE BEST STYLE FOR ME?
Of course! If you don’t know what style is best for you, you can always reach out and book a complimentary consultation. Show me or explain to me what you are hoping to accomplish and we will determine together the best style for you.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE COLOR?
We decide together. I consider your skin tone, along with the target color and color theory to pick the best color for beautiful long-term results.
Yes, before and during. Many of my clients fall asleep!

CONTRAINDICATIONS
DO YOU TAKE CLIENTS THAT HAVE PREVIOUS COSMETIC TATTOO WORK DONE?
Yes, but the pigment needs to be faded enough for me to go over the work. I require consultations for anyone that has previous work done so I can help advice you the best steps to get you to your lip goals. If you have too much pigment still in your lips or we want to change the shape, I will suggest laser sessions to remove the pigment before you come in for your first sessions with me.
ARE COSMETIC TATTOOS PERMANENT?
Yes. They are permanent, but they do fade. You’ll be ready for a refresher after 2+ years, but you’ll still have residual pigment.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A COSMETIC TATTOO ARTIST?
I have been a cosmetic tattoo artist since 2016, giving me 10 years of experience. Click here to learn more about my cosmetic tattoo journey
HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHEN ITS TIME FOR A REFRESHER?
As an artist, I like to let lips fade as much as possible before a refresher session after a few years to keep lips looking natural. We don’t want to oversaturate the lips with pigment, which can lead to a too bold or filled-in look. My goal is to keep your lips looking natural and fresh 10+ years down the line.
