I tattooed my lips so they’d be a nice colour – the pain was awful and they’re swollen and bright red… I’m glad though

LIP blushing is becoming an increasingly popular way to enhance your pout without the worry of filler migration.

But that doesn’t mean it’s without side effects straight after the procedure. 

Liz Caraveo found this out the hard way after sitting through her “pretty painful” lip blushing experience. 

The semi-permanent make-up application involves a tiny mechanised needle depositing pigment into the lips just like a tattoo. 

Hairstylist Liz sat through three layers of needling to get her lips the perfect shade. 

However, this meant her lips were “very very pigmented” after her appointment and due to the trauma caused by the needling, they were also very swollen. 

She took to Tik Tok to showcase the aftermath of her lip blushing appointment and people were shocked by what it had done to her mouth. 

Her pout was left extremely swollen and a deep red colour. 

Liz explained: “Everything is a little bit intensified right now.

“So it should take about ten days for everything to look the way it’s supposed to.

“But you know, it did hurt really freaking bad.

“I didn’t realise that there was gonna be three layers of tattooing.”

She described the look as if she’d “had so much filler put in her lips” and the colour was a bright red. 

Liz assured that she’s still glad she had the treatment done and was happy to wait ten days for the final result.

People flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the process.

One woman who has had her lips tattooed said: “I got lip blush done three years ago. 

“And girl, the embarrassment walking home on the subway.”

Another said: “I looked like a Bratz doll when I got mine done.

“Worth it though.”

A third person laughed: “Honestly, if it was me I’d want them to stay like that forever.

“I love them!”
