LIPS COSMETIC TATTOOING
THERE ARE FEW DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES FOR LIP BLUSHING
1) AQUARELLE LIPS
- this technique creates sheer and natural color for delicate lip enhancement
- color is more spread out, and diluted
- touch ups required approximately every 2 years
2) LUSH LIPS (Lip blush)
- just as the name implies, more Lucious color coverage for brighter results
- colors is applied in a denser manner compared to aquarelle lips
- creates more definition, restores the lip contour
-helps brighten and even out lip tone
3) LIP NEUTRALIZATION
- Lip neutralization is required for anyone with melanin rich lips including dark brown, light brown
purple-blue-gray colors.
- initial color application concentrates on lifting the darkness, or correcting the lip hue to more
neutral / lighter tone.
- neutralization may take few applications before we can choose target color for lips
- because melanin rich lips are more at risk of hyper and hypo pigmentation we need to wait longer
between each session, usually 14-18 weeks.
