AIRBRUSHED AQUARELLE LIP BLUSH

AIRBRUSHED AQUARELLE LIP BLUSH

Aquarelle of Watercolour Lips are a special lip blushing technique that blends a color of your choice into your lips in a soft airbrush effect, similar to a lip tint. 

 Watercolour Lip doesn’t outline the lips into a defined shape, but rather gives the illusion of wearing no makeup, like your lips are naturally that color. This is achieved by a shaded, blended edge that’s less saturated in color than the center of the lips which gives a lip gloss effect, rather than a full-on, opaque lipstick look when healed. 

If you’re considering getting aquarelle lip blush tattoo done or have already scheduled an appointment, it’s essential to know what to expect after the procedure. I will walk you through everything you need to know about the recovery process, the do’s and don’ts, potential side effects, and much more.
