Lip blushing is a form of permanent makeup (also referred to as a cosmetic tattoo) where color, definition, and shape are added to your lips. Using a handheld machine and pigment, the artist will softly shade a soft a the superficial layers of the skin. As the skin heals, the pigment is retained and results in full and natural appearing lip-enhancement that you get to wake up with everyday. During your appointment at KNS, your artist will:

Lip blushing generally lasts 1-3 years before requiring a periodic touch-up. The duration varies based on factors like skin-type, lifestyle, and the color of the pigment. By sticking to our permanent makeup aftercare instructions, you will maximize the appearance of your lip blushing overtime. Around 12 weeks after your initial lip blushing appointment, an Initial Touch-up appointment is required to darken or fill any shaded areas that healed too lightly during the healing process. This ensures that your lips look even and full over time.
One and done (not quite)! Periodic Touch-ups are necessary to maintain the color and density of your lips. Be sure you choose an artist that will prioritize the health of your skin over time (a foundation of all KNS artists). Last thing, don't be fooled by permanent makeup artists referring to lips as "semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing." Any time pigment is injected into the skin, it should be considered a permanent procedure. When PowderBrow is performed properly, pigment is only inserted into the upper layers of your skin, and you can expect the results to fade over time (but should still be considered permanent).
The cost of lip blushing varies by artist and by region. In general you should expect to pay between $500 and $1200 for a lip blushing procedure. Beware of artists that fall well below this price range - the old adage "you get what you pay for" is often true when it comes to permanent makeup. Excessively low prices generally reflect low-demand in the permanent makeup industry. When searching for a PMU artist, we do not recommend using price as a leading search criteria...this is your face we're talking about here. And it's permanent.
