People opt for Lip Blush or Lip Neutralization for various reasons. Here are some motivations:
Lip Blush
Lip blushing is a cosmetic tattoo designed to enhance the natural beauty of your lips by bringing back the vibrant color of our lips that we lose as we age. It can create symmetry and for some give the illusion of a fuller lip.
Definition and Shape: Lip Blush can improve the definition of the lip borders and create a more defined lip shape. This can be particularly appealing for individuals with naturally pale or undefined lips.
Convenience: Lip blush eliminates the need for daily lipstick or lip tint application. For those who want to maintain a consistent lip color without the hassle of frequent touch-ups, lip blush can be a time-saving solution.
Results: Lip blush can be airy and natural or more of an opaque lipstick look.
Anti-Aging: As people age, the natural color of the lips can fade. Lip blush can help restore some of the youthful vibrancy and color to the lips.
Lip Neutralization
Lip neutralization is a cosmetic tattoo targeted for dark toned or discolored lips that have hyperpigmentation, sun damage, etc.
Camouflage: Lip neutralization can be used to conceal scars or hyperpigmentation on the lips, providing a more even and harmonious appearance.
Scarring or Uneven Pigmentation: Individuals with scars or uneven pigmentation on their lips may choose lip blush to create a more even and aesthetically pleasing look.
The process for lip neutralization starts with addressing the uneven color in the lips with a correction color than proceeding with the target color.
