RIP collagen, botox and fillers, the newest trend in semi-permanent beauty is looking like you're wearing lippy, but like, all the time.
Picture this: you wake up in the morning, bleary-eyed and feeling significantly less sexy than you did the night before. But you look into the mirror and what’s staring back at you doesn’t reflect that. You are, as the kids say, ‘beat for the gods’. Your brows are on point, your strange puffy eyes are framed by wing-tip mascara, and your lips look like’s circa 2017. For more and more people these days, whether they’re 18 or approaching the age of retirement, this circumstance is a reality.
Lip blushing is like a permanent lipstick of sorts; a digital pen-like appliance dots a lipstick-like tinge on and around the edges of our lips, leaving a full colour that fills in the gaps and crevices of our natural skin. As a result, lips appear fuller and more defined. The procedure is basically being touted on Instagram as a lowkey, modern alternative to collagen and lip fillers. Think: more Glossier, less trout pout.
The price though, is off-putting. 24-year-old Ellie paid an eye-watering £595 for her lip blushing treatment and a follow up appointment. “I feel like I’m still quite young and wanted to try something else before fillers,” she tells us. “I haven’t got a cupid’s bow, so was desperate for my lips to have a more feminine shape, and noticed that a lot more celebrities had a fuller looking pout.”
