Soft, natural lip colour and definition from Crystal's Varsity Lakes studio — so you can skip the lipstick top-ups.
Lip blushing is a form of cosmetic tattooing that enhances your natural lip colour and shape rather than replacing it. Pigment is placed in the upper layers of the skin and built up into a soft, natural-looking tint, not a solid block of colour.
It suits anyone who wants more colour or definition without a daily lipstick routine. If your natural lip tone is darker or uneven, have a look at lip neutralisation too.
Every appointment is with Crystal herself, at her studio at Shop 4, 195 Varsity Parade, Varsity Lakes — an easy trip from Robina, Burleigh, Mudgeeraba, Reedy Creek and Mermaid Waters.
Book Lip BlushLip blush at Crystal Cosmetics is $550 for the initial treatment. The touch-up at 4–6 weeks, or a colour refresh later on, is $200.
Typically 2–5 years, depending on your skin and lifestyle, with a touch-up recommended around every 12–18 months. Sun exposure is the biggest factor in fading, so daily SPF on your lips helps.
A topical anaesthetic is used throughout. Most clients describe a light scratching sensation rather than pain.
Lips are generally healed within 7–10 days. The colour looks bold at first, then softens and settles into its true shade over about 2–4 weeks.
Eat beforehand, skip alcohol for 24 hours, and hold off ibuprofen, aspirin and fish oil for 72 hours, as they can thin the blood. Come in sun-safe, and avoid recent waxing or tinting near the treatment area.
Yes, that is what lip neutralisation is for. It works on darker or uneven lip tone first, so your lip colour sits on a more even base.
