Lip Blushing
What is Lip blushing?
Lip blushing is a semi-permanent makeup technique that can enhance your current lip shape, size or color. It is great for reshaping asymmetrical lips. Fuller lips can be achieved with lip blushing without the use of fillers. However, if you currently use fillers you may want to define your lip borders and enhance your color with lip blushing.
How does it work?
Lip blushing is done by depositing colored pigment into your lips and along your lip line to improve the overall look. At NOVA DERM INSTITUTE, soft contouring with a specialized machine is done with best quality lip pigments to help add depth and dimension to the lips. The technician uses a sterilized tool to perform the blushing procedure.
