Lip Liner:
If you feel like your lips need more definition but you’re not interested in full lip color, then Lip Liner is the perfect procedure for you! This procedure will give shape to your lips while maintaining a natural appearance.
Lip Fade:
A Lip Fade is an ombré procedure that creates natural fullness and definition to the lips using the client’s desired color. A fading technique is performed as the pigment is tattooed in the outer portion of the lips and will transition to the client’s natural lip color towards the inner part of the lips.

Lip Healing From Start to Finish
Day 1: Lips are swollen and tender; they will appear to have thick, heavy lipstick applied with a reddish brick-like color effect.
Day 2: Lips experience slight swelling, redness, and tenderness. You may taste copper; this is normal.
Day 3: Lips will have minor swelling and a more sore, hot feeling than sharp tenderness compared to days prior. They may be thicker in texture with an orange-ish color effect.
Day 4: Lip exfoliation will begin, making your lips very chapped.
Day 5: Your lips will be very chapped but almost finished with the first chapping stage (do NOT pick!!!)
Day 6: Your lips will start to soften and bloom rich in color.
Days 7 through 13: Your lip color will disappear into an ashy stage as the 2nd chapping starts, leaving a whitish-grey haze on your skin (do NOT pick!!!)
Days 14 through 20: Your lip color will emerge day by day as chapping falls away; you must continue to apply lubricated healing ointments.
Day 21 (3-week mark): The healing stages are over! Your lips will have the majority of the color back, though you might notice some uneven spots. Use lip balms and moisturizers daily to ensure your lips bloom into their new fuller color!
