Lip Blush & Dark Lip Neutralisation

Please view our gallery for hundreds of recent transformations by Scarlett. All pricing and availability can be found on our booking page.

 

Lip blush is used to enhance the natural colour, shape and symmetry of the lips. If a bolder look is what you're after, rest assured, we can tailor our service to achieve your desired result. This may be done over several sessions to build up the colour, depending on your natural lips.

Lip blush can last anywhere from 1-5 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and exposure to the sun. Touch-up sessions may be required to maintain the desired colour and shape and are recommended initially 6-8 weeks after the first session, then a refresher session around once per year or two thereafter.

Overall, lip blush is a great option for those looking to restore the shape and colour that was lost with aging (or from lip fillers), or for those looking for a 'wake up and made up' look. ​

Dark Lip Neutralisation is very much a 'trust the process' type of procedure. It is so important that you choose an artist that has trained in this advanced technique because if the correct process is not performed, it can actually cause the lips to darken further and cause permanent hyper/hypo-pigmentation. Scarlett has undergone advanced training specific to this procedure and has a keen interest in achieving desirable results for her clients.

​

With melanin rich lips, the darker they are, the more sessions that will be required to neutralise them. This process is performed by using colour theory to target the dark purple/grey/blue/brown hues, using warm colours such as yellows, oranges, pinks etc, which counteracts the darkness. During the healing process, the lips will actually darken over the first few weeks, before they begin to lighten. We must wait a minimum of 12 weeks for the lips to fully heal (sometimes 16 weeks), at which time we will see the true result from the previous session. Once the lips have sufficiently lightened, if another colour is wanted, then we can go over them using the lip blush technique and add on the target colour, which again may take several sessions to achieve. Again cooler tones are not recommended as this can reverse the neutralisation process.

​

Unfortunately melanin will always return, so it is best to come back for a colour booster session every year or two, for maintenance.
