Lip Blush
Softly tinted Beauty
Soft. Natural. Effortlessly Refined.
Experience the art of Lip Blush at Cambridge Brow Sanctuary. A modern lip blush tattoo (also known as lip blush permanent makeup, permanent lip tint or semi permanent lip tint) designed to enhance your natural lip colour, refine shape and restore soft definition.
Lip blushing gently deposits pigment into the superficial layers of the lips to create a sheer, “my lips but better” tint. Beautifully wearable, never harsh, this treatment offers low-maintenance, long-lasting colour that complements your features with quiet elegance.
Your Personalised Experience
Each lip treatment begins with an in-depth consultation. We’ll talk through your goals and whether you’d love a subtle blush tint, enhanced definition or a slightly brighter finish.
By assessing your natural lip colour, skin undertone and lifestyle, together we’ll choose the most flattering lip blush colours to ensure your healed result looks soft, balanced and beautifully you.
Your lip shape is carefully mapped to refine symmetry and create a natural-looking contour. Using gentle layering techniques, pigment is built gradually to create seamless colour and a refined finish, respecting skin integrity and promising elegant healed results.
Comfort and Care
Our licensed and insured sanctuary ensures your comfort is our priority. From the soothing ambiance of our studio, a personalised choice of soundtrack and a sumptuous heated treatment bed, to premium-grade tools and pigments, every detail is designed to help you feel at ease.
Topical anaesthetic is used to keep you comfortable and we work with a calm, considered pace, ensuring your lip blush treatment feels reassuring, unhurried and expertly led.
Aftercare and Support
Your experience doesn’t end when you leave our sanctuary. We provide expert aftercare advice and support to ensure your lips heal beautifully and your colour settles evenly.
Your initial Lip Blush appointment also includes a perfection visit 6 to 8 weeks later to refine and perfect colour continuity and symmetry, helping your results look their best and last as long as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions

Lip Blush is a modern form of lip color tattoo that enhances the natural lips with a soft tint and refined definition. Unlike traditional lip tattooing, colour is implanted lightly and built in layers for a natural, healed finish.
-
With proper care, results typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle and aftercare dedication. Colour gradually softens over time and annual colour boosts can help maintain vibrancy.
