Before & After of A Lip Blush

Permanent Lip makeup faq's

What Is Permanent Lip Makeup?

Permanent lip makeup, also known as lip blushing or lip tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances lip color and shape. At Merk Beauty, we specialize in this technique, using high-quality pigments and advanced techniques to achieve natural-looking results.

Are you certified and licensed to operate? Certainly!

Merk Beauty is a fully licensed tattoo studio, and Jessica is a Certified Permanent Makeup Artist (PMU). Jessica has undergone a comprehensive hands-on apprenticeship and holds certifications in blood-borne pathogens, ensuring a secure and hygienic environment. Opting for a licensed and insured PMU is paramount for the protection of your health throughout the procedure.

Does It Hurt?

The level of discomfort can vary among clients, but the consensus is minimal pain. Jessica employs a premium topical lidocaine gel to enhance your comfort during the process.

While some discomfort is inevitable, envision a sensation akin to a slight burning or astringency – a tolerable aspect considering the exceptional results.

How Long Does Permanent Lip Makeup Last?

The duration of permanent lip makeup varies based on individual factors like skin type and aftercare. Generally, it can last from one to three years. Regular touch-ups can maintain desired color and shape.

What is the Healing Process Like?

Initial healing involves swelling, redness, and tenderness. Following aftercare guidelines is crucial for optimal results. The color may appear darker initially but softens as it heals.

What Colors Are Available?

Merk Beauty offers a wide range of lip colors to suit various skin tones and preferences. Our color consultations help you choose the perfect shade.

Is Permanent Lip Makeup Safe?

When performed by a qualified technician in a sterile environment, permanent lip makeup is safe. Merk Beauty adheres to strict hygiene standards and uses high-quality pigments.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The procedure typically lasts one to two hours, depending on the desired outcome.

Aftercare Tips

Protect your lips from sun exposure, excessive heat, and water during the initial healing period. Apply recommended aftercare ointment and avoid picking or peeling.

What If My Lips Are Fading Quicker Than I Like?

In such cases, a reassessment of aftercare practices and lifestyle adjustments may be necessary. If required, Jessica may recommend going darker and fuller during your touch-up session.

Suitable Candidates

Most people are suitable for permanent lip makeup. However, individuals with certain medical conditions should consult with a qualified technician. Merk Beauty offers consultations to assess your suitability.

What Is The Difference Between Lip Blushing and Lip Neutralization

Lip Blushing is a cosmetic tattoo technique that enhances the natural color and shape of your lips. It involves applying a soft, semi-permanent tint to the lips using a specialized machine. This can create the illusion of fuller, more defined lips and can also help correct lip asymmetry or discoloration.

Lip Neutralization is a cosmetic procedure that corrects uneven or dark lip tones. It involves balancing out lip color with specialized pigments to create a more uniform appearance.

Will It Look Natural?

Lip blushing can achieve a natural look. The outcome often depends on factors like the artist’s skill, pigment choice, and your desired result. Ideally, lip blushing should enhance your natural lip color without appearing artificial.

What if I have concerns after they are healed?

Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to us. If you have any concerns or queries after your brows have healed, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to addressing your needs and ensuring your satisfaction with the final results.

Are there some clients who can’t retain pigment?

While this is a rare occurrence, it’s essential to acknowledge that some individuals may experience challenges in retaining pigment. Factors such as highly effective immune systems or unique skin healing properties can contribute to this occurrence. In such instances, further touch-ups may be recommended, but it’s crucial to recognize the limitations to avoid compromising the skin’s integrity. It’s important to consult with our technicians to determine individual suitability.

Not Everyone is a Lip Blushing Candidate

At Merk Beauty, we prioritize your safety and satisfaction. If any of the following conditions apply to you, please notify us before booking to ensure your deposit isn’t forfeited:

While lip blushing can be a transformative experience for many, it’s essential to understand that it might not be the ideal solution for everyone. Several factors can influence your suitability for this procedure:

Active Cold Sores: Individuals prone to frequent cold sores might experience increased outbreaks following lip blushing.
Skin Conditions: Certain skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, or hyperpigmentation, can impact the healing process and final results.
Medical Conditions: Those with diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or blood clotting disorders may require additional considerations or might not be suitable candidates.
Taking Blood-Thinning Medications: Approval from a doctor, allowing the temporary cessation of medication, is essential.
Taking Fish Oil Supplements: Discontinue seven days before your appointment as they thin the blood.
Prone to Keloid/Excessive Scarring: Your safety is paramount, and we won’t risk potential complications on your face.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: To prioritize the health and well-being of both mother and child, lip blushing is generally not recommended during these periods.
Medications: Certain medications, such as blood thinners or immune suppressants, can affect the procedure’s outcome.
Unrealistic Expectations: Having unrealistic expectations about the results can lead to disappointment. Lip blushing enhances natural beauty, but it’s important to have realistic goals.
Botox Injections: Wait two weeks before or after Botox injections.
Alcohol Consumption: Avoid alcohol for 48 hours before the appointment.
Coffee: Refrain from drinking coffee on the day of your appointment, and indulge as much as you’d like afterward.

If you have any concerns or questions, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified lip blushing artist who can assess your individual circumstances and provide personalized guidance.
