Lip blush Bristol: soft semi-permanent colour

Lip blush uses cosmetic pigment for a soft wash of colour and definition. It can make lips look more even or fuller-looking through colour, but it does not alter lip size.

Lip blush	Separate injectable volume treatment
Adds semi-permanent colour and definition	Changes lip size or shape
Uses cosmetic pigment	Uses a separate injectable procedure
Heals to a tinted, lived-in finish	Does not provide lip colour by itself

The second column is a comparison only, not a Nata Beauty service. Choose lip blush for pale or washed-out colour, a softened outline or an uneven vermilion border. A change to lip size needs separate advice from an appropriate provider.

A natural lip blush heals to a tinted, lived-in colour rather than a solid lipstick effect. Nata chooses the shade with your existing lip colour and undertone in mind.

She talks through the colour target and maps the lip shape in washable pencil. You can review the outline before pigment is applied. This can help create a more balanced-looking colour boundary when the vermilion border is uneven or softened.

See the lip blush before-and-after guide and lip blush colour guide for more detail.

Lip blush can suit clients with:

• Pale or washed-out lip colour.
• An uneven vermilion border.
• Age-related softening of the lip outline.
• A desired tinted-lip effect.
• Visible lip scarring where pigment may help even colour.

Discuss suitability first if your lips are very dry or chapped, affected by eczema, or have had lip filler less than 4 weeks ago. A current cold-sore outbreak within 4 weeks, herpetic eye involvement or Roaccutane within 12 months also needs to be raised.

The appointment has five stages:

1. Nata discusses your existing lip colour, undertone and desired finish.

2. PMU patch testing is completed. She maps the lip shape and checks it with you before applying pigment.

3. Nata applies the agreed colour. She provides aftercare guidance and uses a fresh sterile needle and single-use cartridge.

4. Initial PMU healing runs through roughly 7-28 days. Pigment commonly looks darker immediately after treatment, then may look faint or patchy during the normal ghosting phase.

5. The included second visit takes place at 6-8 weeks, after the healing can be assessed.

Stage	What to expect
Immediately after treatment	Pigment commonly looks darker than the healed result
During the first 7-28 days	Colour can look faint or patchy while the skin heals
At 6-8 weeks	Healed colour is assessed at the included second visit

A cold-sore history requires antiviral discussion before booking.

Lip blush commonly lasts about 2-3 years, with guidance placing a refresh discussion around 18-30 months. The result varies with client factors. The first-time price is £330, and the included perfecting session is assessed at 6-8 weeks. Nata Beauty is at 10 Chandos Road, Redland, Bristol BS6 6PE.
