Why Lip Blushing Is Having a Major Moment

Let’s be honest—there’s nothing worse than spending 15 minutes perfecting your lip liner and lipstick, only to have it smudge the moment you sip your latte, kiss your partner, or walk outside in the Vegas heat. That’s where lip blushing comes in.

Lip blushing is a tattoo procedure that enhances your natural lip color, balances symmetry, corrects undertones, and even gives the illusion of fuller lips without filler. Whether you want a subtle “my lips but better” look, a soft pink tint, or a bold, defined shade, lip blushing can get you there—and keep it lasting for years.

And in Las Vegas, we are spoiled with some of the best lip blushing artists in the country.

Ms Amber Red: "A lot of my clients come in to even out their lip symmetry. The lips over time have color that recedes and with lip blush we can fill it back in. One time I had a client named Terry that had a dog bit, and there was a scar that went through her lip. I was able to add color to the light flesh tone scar. Once healed it was undetectable. She can't believe that it's been years now, and still hasn't needed a refresh on the color!”

What to Look for in a Lip Blushing Artist

Before I give you names, let’s talk about what actually makes a great lip blushing artist—because not all permanent makeup artists are created equal.

Experience & Specialization

Lip blushing is one of the trickiest PMU procedures. The skin on your lips is delicate, vascular, and prone to swelling. You want an artist who’s not just “dabbling” but has specialized training and years of experience in lip tattooing.

Portfolio Quality

A great artist’s before-and-after photos should show:

• Even color saturation.
  
• Crisp but natural lip borders (no harsh lip-liner look unless requested).
  
• Healed results, not just fresh work.
  

Color Theory Mastery

This is huge. A skilled artist knows how to neutralize cool or dark lips, how pigments will heal on different skin tones, and how to customize colors for your personal goals.

Ms Amber Red: “Being in the industry now 12 years I have seen so many lips go bad! Here are some examples of what can go wrong! Always ask for healed work examples for any tattoo on your face but definitely when it comes to lips!”

Comfort & Safety

Your artist should:

• Use medical-grade numbing for comfort.
  
• Follow strict sanitation and sterilization standards.
  
• Walk you through the healing process and aftercare.

• Anyone with naturally pale, blue, or purple-toned lips who want a healthy, warm tint.
  

Ms Amber Red: “Once I had a client who had skin cancer removed from her lip and her plastic surgeon did a wonderful job. However there was still loss of the natural pigment in her lip. I was able to go in and redefine her vermillion border and add color to the flesh color scarred area. Once healed it was undetectable. She cried, hugged me, and said she will never be going anywhere else! “

How Much Does Lip Blushing Cost in Las Vegas?

On average, lip blushing procedures in Las Vegas range between $500–$1,000 depending on the artist’s skill and reputation. Touch-ups usually cost $150–$300 every 2–3 years.

Yes, it’s an upfront investment—but think about all the lipsticks, liners, glosses, and time you’ll save. Most clients say it pays for itself within a year.

What to Expect During the Lip Blushing Process

Consultation

You’ll discuss your goals, colors, and whether you need neutralization first.

Mapping & Numbing

Your artist will outline your lips, then numb them for comfort.

Tattooing

A machine implants pigment in layers, building soft color.

Healing

Expect some swelling and peeling for the first few days. Within 6–8 weeks, the healed color will bloom—softer, lighter, and natural.

Ms Amber Red: “I remember when I first started tattooing lips. People would freak out! Immediately after it is bold. It looks more red because you're seeing the red tattooed skin showing through the soft implanted color. More times than not the clients look in the mirror after the procedure and think - what the heck we didn't do red! And I reassure them that nope you're right we didn't! The color will shift over the next few days! Lips is a very much so - trust the process procedure!”
