DARK LIP EQUALIZATION
What Is Lip Blushing?
With the popularity of microblading growing, a new treatment has also been developing. We can get our brows pigmented so why not pigment our lips too? In today’s age, we desire to walk out the door looking like the version of ourselves we like best, wearing lipstick daily. Lip blushing is a breakthrough technique giving clients a pigmented lip color 24/7.
Like brow pigmentation, lip pigmentation lasts 1-2 years. On the first treatments the lips are drafted, meticulously taking notice of the curve of the cupids bow and lower edges of the lip line. This lip mapping process ensures that the client and artist are on the same page with the overall shape. The defined lip mapping allows all discussions to be clear before moving forward with the first step, making the lip line with the machine. After the line is perfected, the inside of the lip is pigmented. Treatments can take up to four hours as the pigmentation is a layering process. The lips will take approximately seven days to heal superficially and up to five weeks to heal completely. A second treatment is completed to address minor discrepancies and color saturation.
Professional Lip Blushing & Dark Lip Equalization Kit
A professional kit is included in certification fees. This kit includes twelve lip pigments, fours styles of cartridges, lip blushing machine, six silicone skins, ring cups, wands and much more!
What Is Dark Lip Equalization?
Dark lip equalization uses pigment and color theory to camouflage and equalize cool lip tones in clients that have increased melanin.
All clients want to feel beautiful. With the dark lip equalization technique, lip pigmentation can reach a wider audience.. Call or text 214-998-5920 to get started.
Dark lip equalization can be a longer journey for the client, taking two to three treatments. The first treatment is specifically designed as equalization only. This treatment’s purpose is to bring the client’s lip to one neutral color. The second treatment is for the target color implementation. The target color is the color the client would like the lips to be.
