Lip Lining

Lip Neutralization
Lip lining is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, enhances the natural lip shape, and gives the appearance of fuller lips through tinted colour.
​
Lip blushing can give you fuller looking lips by lining the vermillion border with a colour similar to your lips.
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, enhances the natural lip colour, and gives the appearance of fuller lips through tinted colour.
​
Lip blushing can give you a natural colour or a make up look! It can be further paired with a simple gloss, or a thin lipstick to give you bold colour.
Lip Neutralization is a semi-permanent form of cosmetic tattooing that gives definition, neutralizes natural lip colours with dark undertones and gives the appearance of brighter lips through tinted colour.
​
Lip neutralization is the first step in the lip blushing process for those with hyperpigmentation. Once the shade is neutralized, you can add colour or leave it for a more natural looking appearance.
