Lip Blushing softly shades custom color into your lips, so you wake up with even color and a defined lip line. It won't smudge or stain, you won't need to reapply a lipstick or tint, and it lasts through coffee, workouts, the pool and a long day. For heavily pigmented lips, Lip Neutralization evens the tone first.
How booking works: both are booked online as a Lip Blushing appointment. At your appointment, your artist will confirm whether neutralization is the right approach for your lips.
Natural results don't happen by accident. They come from skill and technique, refined over thousands of clients.
Deep enough to last, shallow enough to heal soft, so color stays inside your lip line and softens evenly over the years instead of turning dark or uneven.
Your lip line and cupid's bow are mapped from your natural measurements, drawn on, and approved by you in the mirror before any pigment goes in. Your artist knows exactly how close to the vermilion border to work for a larger-looking lip, without color bleeding into the skin outside the lip.
Your color is custom mixed from our pigments to match your natural lip tone, skin tone and undertone. Our artists are experts at creating brighter or more subdued colors that still match your tones, and we record your formula, so every touch-up matches, even years later.
Your artist uses a tattoo whip technique that layers color carefully into the lip, all the way to the waterline. A higher machine speed and a fast hand, which come from experience, place more pigment in fewer passes, for fuller color with no visible two-tone edge, less trauma and minimal scabbing.
We intentionally moderate the enhancement over two sessions to ensure healthy healing and conservative results. Your lips look wonderful after one session, and your Initial Touch-up, 6 to 12 weeks later, lets you go more bold with color if you want.
We use only pigments and needle cartridges manufactured in the USA, refined over thousands of appointments to the products that deliver the most natural, longest-lasting healed results. Every cartridge is single-use and disposable.
More than 8,000 clients have had permanent makeup at KNS, from all 50 states. Our artists have 25+ years of combined experience and do permanent makeup full time. As a team, we are constantly improving our craft: every week we review client cases together to develop best practices, study where to improve, and hold ourselves accountable to the natural, healthy healed results we promise.
Only if you want it to. Lip Blushing ranges from evening out your natural tone, which most people can't tell is tattooed, to a soft matte lipstick look. You choose at your consultation, and we mix the color to match.
Lips are more sensitive than brows, but with topical numbing most clients describe it as pressure and vibration rather than pain.
Yes. We use a topical numbing cream at both studios, and numbing is optional. Michigan requires a signed physician's approval before we can apply topical numbing during a tattoo service, so if you want it at our Brighton studio, request the letter from your doctor before your appointment. Here is how to request it.
Absolutely. But the procedure will trigger an outbreak, so ask your doctor for an antiviral to take prophylactically, and tell us at booking.
1.5 to 3 years before a Periodic Touch-up, with most clients returning around year 2. The Initial Touch-up 6 to 12 weeks after your first session costs $125.
