Full Lip Colour in Filey, Yorkshire
beautiful, long-lasting lips. Natural or bold.
Do you love the look of vibrant, uniformly coloured lips without the constant need to reapply lipstick? With full lip colour (often called lip blush or permanent lip colour), I help clients in Filey, Scarborough, Bridlington and surrounding Yorkshire areas get beautifully tinted lips that last—and that feel like you, just enhanced.
Who Full Lip Colour Suits & Benefits
Full lip colour is great if you want one or more of the following:
- Lips with more definition and fuller shape without needing over-lining every day
- Correction of uneven lips, or lip colour that has faded with age or sun exposure
- A bold look, or a softer tinted effect, this treatment gives you control over how vivid you want the final colour to be
- Lips that look put together even without lip liner or lipstick—perfect for busy routines or people who want low maintenance makeup
Other benefits include:
- Suitable for all skin types, though healing and results can vary slightly depending on oiliness or sensitivity
- Healed appearance in around 4-5 days, with full settling by about 4-6 weeks
- Results lasting 1-3 years between top-ups, depending on lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare, etc.
What to Expect: Process, Healing & Aftercare
Here’s what you’ll experience from your consultation to healed, final results:
Consultation & Shade Selection
We’ll talk through what colours appeal to you, soft pinks, bold reds, nudes, corals, and match them to your natural skin tone. We also plan the lip outline, shape, and symmetry.
Treatment Session
Numbing cream is used to reduce discomfort. The pigment is implanted with tiny, specialised needles using a machine. It’s usually a two-pass or shading technique to make the colour even.
Initial Appearance & Healing
Immediately post-treatment, lips will look darker and more saturated. Expect some swelling, perhaps light crusting or peeling. Over 4-5 days the colour will soften visibly, with full settling over a few weeks.
Top-ups & Colour Boosts
To maintain vibrant colour, a touch-up session is typically needed several weeks after the first treatment. After that, yearly or periodic top-ups help especially if lifestyle, skincare, or sun exposure causes fading.
What is Full Lip Colour?
Full lip colour is a type of permanent makeup (cosmetic tattooing) done with a precision machine. Pigment is gently implanted into the lips to give even colour, define the lip line, and enhance shape. While sometimes people use the term lip blush, full colour can be soft or bold depending on your preference, rather than just a natural wash.
Right after treatment the shade may seem intense, but in about 3-5 days the lips will heal to a softer, more powdery effect. Colour, saturation, and shape are always tailored to you, your natural lip shape, skin tone, and the look you’re going for.
How Long Does Full Lip Colour Last?
You can expect your full lip colour to last 1-3 years under ideal conditions. Key factors that affect longevity include:
- Your skin type (oily or dry)
- Exposure to UV/sunlight and how often lips are protected
- Your aftercare (keeping them moisturised, avoiding aggressive skincare/triggers)
- Habits like smoking or using lip products that stain or exfoliate aggressively
Even when pigment fades, the lips should still retain some tint, so the look remains soft and flattering rather than disappearing completely.
Does full lip colour hurt?
Most people describe mild discomfort, tingling, scratching or pressure. We use numbing products to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Any initial swelling typically subsides in a couple of days.
How many sessions are required?
Usually one main treatment, followed by a touch-up about 4-8 weeks later to perfect colour and shape. After that, maintenance top-ups keep the colour looking fresh.
Will the colour look too strong at first?
Yes, it almost always does. Right after the treatment, the pigment is bold. Over the first 4-5 days, and through the full healing period (2-6 weeks), it softens into the tone you chose.
Can I choose how bold or soft the colour is?
Absolutely. From day one we plan together what you want, whether a more dramatic, full-colour lip or a softer tint. The pigment amount, shade, saturation all get custom-tailored to you.
Can I have full lip colour if I’ve had lip fillers?
Yes. In fact many clients combine the two. We just make sure the filler has settled first (usually waiting several weeks) so we work with the final shape of your lips.
