She’s Sharing Her Lip Blushing Journey, And It’s Basically A Semi-Permanent Lip Tattoo
If you’re a fan of keeping up with today’s beauty trends, you’ve probably heard about lip blushing.
If you don’t know what lip blushing is, it’s a term for semi-permanent lip tattoos. It’s ideal for those who love wearing a subtle lip tint and wish that pretty shade would never get smudged.
Tattooed makeup has been part of the beauty world for a while, with makeup lovers getting their tattooed eyeliner and microbladed eyebrows.
Some people have chosen to have their lips permanently lined in the past, but lip blushing allows the lips to take on one overall shade and can even create an illusion of making them look fuller.
Many women choose to get lip blushing done not only because they don’t want to worry about wearing lipstick all the time but because their lips have lost pigmentation with age or have uneven color due to sun damage or smoker’s lips.
For instance, TikTok user @makeupbygermany had uneven pigmentation in the center of her lips due to a sunburn that would not go away. She said in one of her videos that she spent $400 to get lip blushing done and has been raving about the results on her account ever since.
Of course, the semi-permanent trend is not for everyone. Still, many makeup bloggers and beauty influencers have been candidly documenting their experiences with lip blushing to let viewers decide for themselves if it’s worth it or not.
TikTok creator Charlotte Dobre (@charlottedobreofficial) documented her entire journey with lip blushing from the moment she got her lips numbed to the following day.
“I wear lipstick pretty much every day, so I figured, why not get it permanent?” says Charlotte at the beginning of her video.

Charlotte films her lips getting outlined by the technician, who then applies a numbing cream to Charlotte’s lips. Then, she begins tattooing a peachy color onto Charlotte’s lips.
Immediately following the tattooing, Charlotte looked like she got a heavy dose of lip fillers, as her lips were bright pink and extremely swollen.
“This is where I start to regret my decision,” says Charlotte as she films her swollen lips.
“I can’t believe people actually pay money to look like that.”
However, in the following days, Charlotte’s lips began to heal, and the color faded into a much more subtle, peachy tone.
Following a lip blushing session, customers are expected to be diligent with the cleaning and aftercare – just like any other tattoo! Charlotte wrote in the comments of her video that she cleaned her lips twice a day. In addition, professionals say that healing ointments like Aquaphor are essential for moisturizing the healing lips.
Within a few weeks, the lips will typically start peeling, and the customer’s ideal shade will have blended in with their natural lip color. If the customer did well with their aftercare, lip blushing can last one to two years and be retouched annually.
So beauty fans, would you try lip blushing?
