What is Lip Blush OR Lip Tattooing?

 

PMU, also known as micro-pigmentation, cosmetic tattooing, or derma-pigmentation is a form of temporary tattooing, where advanced pigments are inserted into the dermis layer of the skin using very fine needles.

​

It can also be used to visibly reduce scars. Clients usually choose to have PMU in the form of shading for eyebrows or lips to enhance their looks and to minimize the need for daily makeup application.

​

Lip tattooing is a form of permanent makeup.

 

It is a cosmetic tattoo of the lips that enhances the beauty of the natural lip color, improving the shape of the lips, giving definition and the illusion of fullness. This treatment delivers very natural results, once healed. Filler is great for creating volume in your lips, but lip blush delivers a more natural look and gives the illusion of fuller lips.
