The Korean beauty industry has taken the world by storm for its beauty innovations. Although Korean makeup comes up with a unique technique every other day, there is one such trend that is going to be around for a while! Well, it’s here to stay for a long time! If you are a Korean makeup fan, you might have guessed it by now! We are talking about the viral Korean gradient lip. 

If you’ve ever seen Korean movies, you’ve probably fallen in love with the gorgeous lip colour that the actors have. Well, that’s what a Korean gradient lip is. It is also possible to get similar results through lipstick that enhances your makeup, but it will take a lot of time and effort to create that gradient effect! Let’s be honest; who has that kind of time, right? Even if you somehow achieve the look with lipstick, you would still reapply it, but ultimately it will ruin the gradient you created.

Is there any sustainable way of achieving that Korean gradient lip look? Well, there is! 

Before getting into the details, let’s first understand the Korean gradient lip technique. Though the gradient lip, popularly known as popsicle lips, has recently gained popularity as a beauty trend, it has been famous in Korea for many years. The trend is really subtle, making it appear innocent and youthful. 

Now that you have understood the Korean gradient lip briefly let’s get into the central part of the blog, which is understanding the Lip Tattoo treatment. 

From Microblading Eyebrows to Eyeliner Embroidery, semi-permanent makeup is slowly making its way onto everyone’s radars. This is because every treatment produces more natural-looking effects, allowing for the enhancement of the beautiful features that already lie within us.

Lip treatments have been the most talked about topic in the beauty world, whether it be in the form of botox or some other makeup procedures. Similarly, Lip Embroidery treatment is also gaining a lot of traction on social media as it allows you to keep your makeup routine simple. Most importantly, you can get the Korean gradient lip look with the Lip Blushing procedure. Not only does it create an illusion of fuller lips, but it also does the same without needing injections, so it’s a win-win situation! 

What is Lip Tattoo Treatment?

Lip Tattoo, also known as Lip Blushing, Lip Embroidery is a procedure that enhances your natural lip colour by depositing coloured ink to create a subtle, gradient effect on your lips. Unlike botox or fillers, it only gives an illusion of fuller lips without actually increasing the size of your lips. Similar to other semi-permanent makeup treatments, lip blushing creates a long-lasting lip tint effect on your lips that you can wake up to without applying any extra balms, gloss or colour.
Unlike traditional permanent makeup procedures, the results usually last for about 2 to 3 years. The Lip Blushing treatment is completely natural as it focuses on enhancing the beauty of features that are already there within you. Other benefits of Lip Tattoo include colour correction for scars, fuller-looking lips and increased pigmentation. 

How can you achieve the Korean Gradient Lip with the Lip Blushing treatment

The Lip Embroidery treatment gives a natural pinkish flush to dull, pale lips. You can achieve a Korean gradient lip look by choosing deeper shades on the inner parts that will fade away with time and become a lighter tone, giving you a soft, subtle look. Plus, you will be free of that lipstick stress every morning! 

Does the Lip Embroidery treatment hurt?

The thought of a needle penetrating our lips sounds terrifying, right? However, if one done properly, the process does not hurt. In fact, we have a team of certified beauticians who ensure that the clients are comfortable and that the entire procedure is conducted painlessly. 

Our beauticians will apply numbing cream to the lip and leave it on for around 10-15 mins before beginning the Lip Embroidery procedure. In fact, you can even ask our beautician to reapply more numbing creams in case you feel a little discomfort. 

What is the procedure like?

Before you sit down for the actual process, you must book a one-to-one consultation with our expert aesthetician. They will show you various lip shades available as well as advise you on which colours would be best compliment your skin undertones and whether they will be visible over your original lip colour. 

During the personalised consultation, you can show reference pictures of what you want to achieve and which colour you want to pick. The beautician will take your colour choice into consideration before advising a shade for your lips. During the consultation, you must agree on a final colour before proceeding with the actual session of the Lip Embroidery treatment. 

The procedure will begin with our expert beautician applying a numbing cream to your lips and covering them with the help of a plastic film. They will leave the cream on your lips for the next 10-15 mins. 

After the numbing cream has started showing its effect, the beautician will mark out the final shape of your lips with a vibrant lip colour. Then, they will create contrast between the lips and the skin by colouring the area around the lips white. Typically, the beautician will perform the embroidery in about three to four layers before achieving the final shade.
