This semi-permanent make-up treatment is growing in popularity—here's what you need to know

Whether you’ve heard about lip blush and want to know more or you’ve booked in for the treatment and want to know what to expect, you’ve found yourself in the right place. Dubbed an alternative to lip filler and an upgrade on semi-permanent make-up of the past, lip blush is a cosmetic treatment that aims to give the lips a long-lasting stain of colour, usually in a pink or rosy hue. It can also be used to make lips appear more even or give them a fuller appearance without the plumping effect of traditional filler.

“It is a great treatment for those looking to enhance their lips without the use of dermal fillers,” says Karen Betts, the UK’s leading permanent make-up artist, when I questioned her on the trending treatment. “Or for those that want a fuss-free flush of colour every day without the need of applying or topping up make-up.” That means, if you’re someone who loves the look of lip stains or lipsticks yet finds the process of applying and reapplying them throughout the day a chore, lip blush could be the perfect treatment for you.
