My Lip Blushing Experience at Haven Beauty Collective
TLDR Takeaways:
— Research colors! Bring pictures of your favorite shades or, even better, your go-to lip color for them to replicate.
— Stock up on things you’ll need post-appointment. A&D cream or aquaphor for your lips, straws to sip out of, foods you can place directly into your mouth, and lip protectant with sunscreen.
— If you wear contacts or aligners, consider taking both out before your session (my aligners got a ton of dye in them, and my contacts were annoying my eyes due to keeping them closed during the appointment).
— Like all tattoos, this will hurt. In my eyes, the first pass was the worst, but Tara/Julie used numbing cream for the follow-up passes.
— My lips took about a week to stop peeling, and another week-and-a-half to land arrive at their actual color.
My Lip Blushing Story
I had literally never heard of lip blushing until I saw Julie post about it on Instagram, and then again when she invited me to be a test subject. But I trust Julie with all my PMU needs, from eyebrows to my wedding day look, so I said Yes!
The night before, I made a sugar& honey lip scrub and slathered on la neige lip mask. The next morning, I passed up…
