Wake Up Beautiful.

No. Lip Blush creates a soft tint effect, not a lipstick effect. Lipstick sits on the surface of the lips and can create an opaque, solid layer of colour. Lip Blush works within the lips to create a sheer, translucent wash of colour, allowing your natural lip tone and character to remain visible. Your natural lip colour remains part of the final result, so Lip Blush should look like a tint rather than an opaque layer of makeup. You can still wear lipstick or gloss over healed Lip Blush whenever you want a stronger colour.

Lip Blush is designed to enhance the natural colour and definition of your lips. It can help create the appearance of fresher-looking lips, more even colour, enhanced natural lip tone, better visual definition, improved-looking symmetry and a soft, healthy-looking flush of colour. It does not replace lipstick and does not physically add volume to the lips.

Lip Blush does not physically increase lip volume. However, enhancing the colour and definition of the lips can create the visual impression of better-defined, more balanced lips. If you want actual volume or plumping, that is achieved through a separate treatment such as lip filler.

Lip Blush can enhance the appearance and definition of your natural lip shape. The design is created around your existing anatomy and can help improve the visual balance and symmetry of the lips. It does not physically change the underlying structure or volume of the lips.

The pigment strategy is customised according to your natural lip colour, skin tone, skin undertone, existing pigmentation, natural colour variation, previous lip PMU and your desired healed colour. The same pigment can heal differently on different clients, which is why colour selection needs to be individualised.

No. Fresh Lip Blush is not the final healed colour. Immediately after treatment, the lips can appear significantly stronger, brighter or more saturated than the eventual result. As the lips heal, the colour softens and settles. The healed result, rather than the freshly treated lips, is what should be evaluated.

Freshly implanted pigment can appear more intense than the healed result, and temporary redness or sensitivity can further affect how the colour appears. This is part of the normal healing process. Do not judge your final Lip Blush colour immediately after the procedure.

Yes, depending on the nature and extent of the pigmentation. Mild unevenness may be incorporated into a customised Lip Blush treatment. However, significantly darker or unevenly pigmented lips may require a Dark Lip Neutralisation / colour-correction approach before introducing the desired colour.

Lip Blush is primarily a colour-enhancement treatment. Dark Lip Neutralisation is a colour-correction process. If the lips have significant dark, grey, brown, purple or uneven pigmentation, simply adding a lighter pigment may not produce the desired result — the underlying tones need to be assessed and, where appropriate, neutralised before working towards the desired healed colour.

Possibly, but the approach depends on the type and degree of natural pigmentation. Some clients may be suitable for standard Lip Blush, while others may require colour neutralisation first. A consultation is important because the lips need to be assessed individually before deciding on the appropriate treatment strategy.

Some temporary swelling, redness or tenderness can occur following treatment. The lips can also appear stronger in colour immediately after the procedure. These temporary changes should not be confused with the final healed result.

Lip Blush can go through different stages during healing. Colour can soften and appear uneven at certain points before settling. This is why the lips should be given adequate time to heal before evaluating the final result.

Possibly, but previous PMU must be assessed first. Existing pigment, its colour, saturation, placement and how it has healed can all affect the new treatment. Depending on the existing work, the appropriate approach may be a colour refresh, correction, neutralisation or another treatment plan rather than simply adding new pigment over the old work.

Lip Blush is a tint, not permanent lipstick. The goal is not to give every client the same pink or red lip. The goal is to create a soft, translucent, natural-looking enhancement that works with your own lip colour, skin tone and facial features — your lips fresher, more even and beautifully defined.

A minimum of 2 Lip Blush sessions is recommended to build the colour properly and help achieve better, longer-lasting results. The sessions are performed with a 21-day gap, allowing the lips sufficient time to heal and the colour to settle before the next session. The first session establishes the initial colour and definition; the second session reinforces the pigment and helps build a more even, consistent and long-lasting healed result.

Lip Blush is a process of gradually building colour rather than creating an opaque lipstick effect in one sitting. The first session introduces the pigment and allows us to see how your lips respond and heal. The second session allows us to reinforce and build the colour after the first session has healed, helping achieve a more consistent and longer-lasting result.

The lips need time to heal and settle after the first treatment before additional pigment is introduced. A minimum gap of 21 days allows us to assess how the colour has healed and how well the pigment has been retained before proceeding with the second session, which is then planned based on the healed result rather than treating the lips while still recovering.

The purpose of the second session is not simply to make the lips darker. It is to build, reinforce and even out the colour based on how the first session has healed. The final healed result should remain a soft tint rather than an opaque lipstick effect.

After completing the recommended minimum of two sessions, Lip Blush can typically last around 1–2 years, depending on the individual. Longevity can be influenced by skin type, skincare routine, sun exposure, aftercare, lifestyle, pigment retention and individual healing and skin response.

Lip Blush gradually becomes softer and lighter over time. As the pigment fades, the lips move closer to their natural colour. Once you feel the colour has become too light and you want to restore the tint, a colour refresh can be performed — designed to boost the existing colour, rather than completely recreate the original treatment from scratch.

No. SMP creates the visual impression of greater hair density through pigment placement. It does not change the underlying amount of hair.

The intended look at FAYVE is subtle, natural and density-enhancing. The result is customised to existing hair colour, density and desired appearance.

Yes. Existing hair colour is one of the factors considered when planning the treatment.

A consultation is the appropriate first step because the treatment is customised around your existing hair colour, density and desired result.

The principles of PMU are similar, but the treatment objective is different. Brows use fine strokes and/or shading to recreate or enhance the appearance of eyebrow hair; SMP uses precisely placed pigment impressions to recreate the visual appearance of hair follicles and density. The needle configuration and technique are therefore selected specifically for the scalp and the desired follicle effect.

They should not look like obvious, oversized tattoo dots when the procedure is appropriately designed and healed — the goal is tiny follicle-like impressions that blend with the surrounding hair and scalp. The size, spacing, saturation and placement of each impression are important to achieving a natural-looking result.

Both sequences can be considered, but they have different advantages. If Lip Blush is performed first, it establishes the visual definition and shape of the lips, and once fully healed, the injector can assess the defined lip shape when planning filler. If lip filler is performed first, the filler needs to completely settle before Lip Blush is performed so the PMU artist can design the treatment around the final, settled lip shape.

When Lip Blush is performed first and fully healed, it establishes the visual definition of the lips, giving the injector an established healed lip shape and definition to work with. The sequence would be: Lip Blush → Complete healing → Lip Filler, performed by an appropriately qualified medical professional.

If you have already had lip filler, the lips should be allowed to fully settle before Lip Blush. As a general planning interval, allow approximately 4–6 weeks after filler before having Lip Blush, particularly so that swelling and any temporary changes in shape have resolved. The exact timing should be confirmed by the medical professional who performed your filler and your PMU artist.

Lip filler can temporarily change the volume, shape and symmetry of the lips due to swelling and the settling process. Lip Blush should ideally be designed around the final settled lip shape, not lips that are still swollen or changing. Waiting approximately 4–6 weeks allows the filler to settle sufficiently for the PMU artist to assess the actual shape before mapping the Lip Blush.

The current website guidance says at least 2–4 weeks, with 4 weeks preferred when treatments are close together, particularly after significant swelling or bruising. The exact interval should be confirmed by the clinician who performed the filler and the PMU artist.

The current guidance recommends that the injector see the healed Lip Blush result before deciding where and how much filler to place.

Dark or unevenly pigmented lips can have underlying tones that interfere with the colour being introduced. If a new colour is placed directly over significant underlying pigmentation, the healed result may not develop as intended because the existing pigmentation continues to influence the final colour. Neutralisation helps correct the underlying tone first.

The process is generally: Assess → Neutralise → Heal → Reassess → Introduce New Colour. First, the degree and nature of the pigmentation are assessed. A corrective colour strategy is then selected to neutralise the unwanted underlying tones rather than simply cover them. The lips are then allowed to heal and reassessed before further neutralisation or the desired colour is introduced.

There is no fixed number of sessions for every client. The number depends on the grade, depth, distribution and nature of the pigmentation, as well as how the lips respond and heal after each treatment. The lips are reassessed after healing before deciding whether another session is required.

The desired colour is introduced after the neutralisation stage has sufficiently corrected the underlying pigmentation and the lips have healed. The lips must be reassessed before moving to the colour-enhancement stage — the aim is a suitable, balanced base that allows the new colour to develop more predictably.

The purpose of neutralisation is to correct the underlying pigmentation and prepare the lips for the next stage of colour enhancement. Once healed sufficiently, the lips can be reassessed to determine whether they are ready for the desired new colour. The final healed colour will still depend on your natural lip tone, skin characteristics, pigmentation, pigment selection and individual healing response.

Not necessarily. The number of sessions depends on the grade and nature of the pigmentation and how your lips respond to the corrective treatment. For some clients, one session may be sufficient; for others, additional neutralisation may be required. The next step is always decided after the lips have healed and been reassessed.

The goal is balance and harmony, not to make every part of the lips artificially identical. Natural variation in lip colour may remain. The purpose of neutralisation is to reduce the unwanted pigmentation and create a more balanced base from which the desired colour can subsequently be developed.

Tell the studio if you have an active eye infection, significant irritation or inflammation around the eyes, recent eye surgery, certain eye conditions, previous permanent eyeliner, significant scarring in the treatment area, relevant sensitivities or allergies, or certain medications or medical conditions. If unsure, speak with your healthcare professional before proceeding.

Not necessarily. The treatment can range from an extremely subtle lash enhancement to a more visible classic or softly shaded eyeliner look. The style is customised to your eye shape and desired finish.

Your preferences are part of the consultation, but the final design should also account for your eye shape, natural lash line and the desired healed result.

Pain levels are generally minimal and manageable. A topical numbing cream is applied for approximately 15–20 minutes after the mapping and shape have been agreed upon, where appropriate for the treatment. Comfort levels vary from person to person, but our aim is to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

The procedure is performed using the selected PMU technique with controlled pigment implantation. Rather than aggressively implanting pigment in one pass, the colour and definition are built gradually over approximately 3–4 passes, depending on the treatment and the individual, allowing the artist to work progressively towards the desired result while assessing how the skin is responding.

They can appear stronger, darker or more intense immediately after treatment. This does not represent the final healed colour. As the skin heals, the pigment settles and the appearance gradually softens.

PMU can go through several visual stages while healing. The treated area may initially look stronger, then soften, lighten and change in appearance as the skin heals. Temporary unevenness can also occur during different stages of healing. Fresh is not finished — the healed result is what matters.

Healing varies depending on the treatment, individual skin response and the area treated. The visible appearance can change throughout the healing process, which is why clients should follow their personalised aftercare instructions and allow the skin adequate time to settle before evaluating the result.

PMU involves implanting pigment into the skin, so it should not be thought of like ordinary makeup that simply washes away. However, PMU softens and fades over time. The longevity depends on factors including skin type, technique, pigment, placement, skincare, sun exposure and aftercare. Maintenance or colour-refresh appointments may therefore be required over time.

Longevity varies depending on the treatment and the individual. Factors that can influence retention include skin type, skin characteristics, technique used, pigment selection, placement, skincare routine, sun exposure, aftercare, and individual healing and pigment retention. As PMU fades, a colour refresh can be considered to restore the desired intensity and freshness.

Possibly, but suitability depends on your individual skin characteristics and the technique being considered. Your skin should be assessed before treatment so the most appropriate technique and expected finish can be discussed with you.

Possibly, but existing PMU must be assessed first. Old pigment can significantly affect the colour, shape and healed result of a new treatment. If the previous pigment has changed to a grey, blue-grey, ashy, reddish or otherwise unwanted tone, neutralisation or colour correction may be required before introducing a new colour. In cases where the old pigment is too dark, heavily saturated, too deeply implanted or significantly outside the desired shape, lightening or removal may be more appropriate.

FAYVE recommends postponing PMU during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, please discuss your individual circumstances with your healthcare professional before considering treatment.

Certain medications, skin conditions, allergies, previous procedures and other individual factors may affect whether PMU is appropriate. Always disclose relevant medical information, medications and previous PMU during your consultation. If there is any uncertainty regarding your suitability, medical advice should be obtained before treatment.

You will receive specific aftercare instructions based on the procedure you have undergone. Following your aftercare carefully is important because the healing process can influence pigment retention and the final healed appearance. Avoid picking, scratching or prematurely removing any flaking or scabbing, and allow the treated area to heal naturally according to the instructions provided by your artist.

Because fresh PMU is not the final result. Immediately after treatment, pigment can appear stronger and the skin can show temporary redness or sensitivity. As healing progresses, the colour softens and settles. That is why at FAYVE, we believe clients should see the complete journey: Before → Fresh → Healed. A beautiful fresh result is only the beginning. The healed result is the real result.
