What Is Lip Neutralization?
Lip neutralization is a semi-permanent makeup technique designed to correct the natural undertones of your lips. If you have lips with cool or dark undertones (like purple, blue, or brown), neutralization can help balance and warm up the color to give you a more natural, even lip tone. The result? A natural, fuller look with a soft, warm tint that enhances your natural lip color.
What Can Lip Neutralization Do For You?
If your lips have unwanted cool or dark undertones, lip neutralization can transform them by adding warmth and balance. This technique can help correct uneven or discolored lips, giving you a smooth, natural color that blends seamlessly with your natural skin tone. It’s perfect for anyone looking to warm up the appearance of their lips and create a more balanced, youthful look.
What to Expect at Your Appointment?
We’ll begin by discussing your lip concerns and customizing the perfect shade to balance your natural undertones. The procedure takes about 2-3 hours, and after the appointment, your lips will have a more balanced, natural appearance. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to make sure everything heals well.
What to Expect After Your Appointment?
After your lip neutralization session, your lips may look darker than expected, and there might be some swelling. Don’t worry—this is normal and will subside within a few hours. Over the next week or so, your lips will lighten and soften into the final color. Expect some peeling as your lips heal. A follow-up session 8 weeks later is recommended to perfect the color and shape.
Pricing
Lip neutralization is priced at $500, which includes both your initial appointment and a follow-up touch-up session. We're here to ensure you feel confident and happy with the results, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process.
Maintenance
To keep your lip neutralization looking fresh, we recommend a touch-up every 1-2 years, depending on your skin type and how well your lips retain pigment. Protect your lips from sun exposure, avoid harsh skincare products, and follow the aftercare instructions for long-lasting results. With proper care, your neutralized lips will stay vibrant for a long time.
People opt for lip neutralization for various reasons, including wanting to achieve a more uniform lip color, reducing the appearance of dark spots or discoloration, enhancing the effectiveness of lipstick or lip gloss application, or simply for aesthetic reasons.
You can absolutely get tattooed even if you're prone to cold sores. However, it's crucial to take medication like Valtrex for 5 days before and after the procedure to prevent any outbreaks. Cold sores during healing can lead to uneven or minimal pigment retention. Protecting your new tattoo is key!
Honestly, either choice works. What's key is having a solid six weeks between each service. Our suggestion? go for lip filler first, wait six weeks after your final appointment before booking lip blushing.
We will assess your skin tone, undertones, and the natural color of your lips to determine which shades will complement your complexion best. Your lips' tone plays a significant role in choosing the right pigments to create a successful neutralization.
