as cute as they are to seal a love letter - lipstick transfers anywhere are mostly just annoying & leave your perfect pout... mostly elsewhere.

 - semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that lasts ~1-5 years

- enhances colour & shape, evenness & definition

- in a natural way (no, we're not creating a strong lipstick look - but yes, we want you to get to your go-to, next-to-nude, always. let's keep within 2 shades of your natural lip.)







process

- total ~ 3-4HR

- moisturizer, aftercare chats & muah!

- touch up highly recommended 6-8 weeks post initial & refresh recommended ~ each 1-2 years

** it's difficult to chat throughout the appointment (though I always have lots to say) so music, podcasts & meditations... encouraged! We can listen to any requests - except true crime, if that's what you're into - you're welcome to have headphones! 

pre-appointment prep 

- exfoliate & moisturize your lips regularly in the 5-7 days before & a good scrub day of & keep them moisturized

- if you've ever had cold sore or herpes, ask your physician to prescribe 400mg of Acyclovir or Zovirax pills & take it 2 times a day 1 day before and 5 days after procedure. I also reccomend can taking the vitamin L-Lysine ongoing (if you don't already, start to the week prior - through the 5-6 week healing

- please no alcohol, drugs excess caffeine within the day prior to appointment

aftercare

- you will likely have some swelling, immediately following & within the following 24-48 hours, this is normal!

- your lips will also be at their darkest for the first 1-3 days, but will fade naturally up to 60% most significantly through the stages of scabbing & shedding (do. not. pick. during this phase)

- the swelling, shape & colour may not be uniform during this time & will change fairly consistently during healing. it's best to allow for 10 days - 2 full weeks to asses the final look. we have the 6-8 week touch up for adjustments need be!

- avoid hot foods (temperature & spice) during first few days of healing (this will likely be uncomfortable regardless!)

but, of course please stay nourished & hydrated! you can eat & drink as soon as you're hungry & thirsty.

- if you are experiencing a lot of swelling, an antihistamine or ibuprofen may help

- very gently wash your lips with very light cleanser during usual face-wash times & continue to keep hydrated with simple balm

- limited touch otherwise! no picking scabs or dryness & no exfoliating.
