How do I prepare for my lip blush appointment?
Thoughtful preparation helps support a smoother treatment, comfortable healing, and soft, even color retention. Here’s your Beautë Prep:
3–5 days before
• Keep your lips consistently hydrated
• Gently exfoliate away any dry or flaky skin—no aggressive scrubbing
• Increase your water intake and avoid allowing your lips to become dry or chapped
24–48 hours before
• Avoid alcohol and limit caffeine
• Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood-thinning supplements unless medically necessary or directed by your healthcare provider
• Avoid anything that leaves the lips irritated, inflamed, cracked, or overly sensitive
The day of
• Arrive with clean lips—no lipstick, liner, gloss, or lip products
• Enjoy a meal beforehand and arrive well hydrated
• Feel free to bring your favorite lip products or inspiration shades
History of cold sores?
Lip treatments may trigger a recurrence. Please let me know before your appointment and consult your medical provider about whether preventative antiviral medication is appropriate for you.
Recently had lip filler, or noticing unusual sensitivity or irritation? Let me know before your visit so we can make sure your appointment is timed appropriately.

Lips
I get cold sores. Can I still get lip blushing?
Usually, yes. Lip tattooing can trigger an outbreak, even if you haven't had one in years, so please let me know when you book.
Ask your medical provider whether a preventative antiviral is right for you before your appointment.
If you feel tingling or have an active cold sore on your appointment day, we'll reschedule. Treating over an outbreak affects healing and color.

Does it hurt?

Lips
How long does lip blushing last?
Lip blushing is semi-permanent, not permanent. Most clients see their color soften gradually over time.
Longevity depends on your skin, lifestyle, sun exposure, aftercare, color choice, and how you heal.
Refresh appointments help maintain tone and definition as the pigment naturally fades.

Is a touch-up always required?

Please send a clear photo of your brows in natural light before booking.

Is there anyone you can't treat?
