What shade of lipstick would you have permanently tattooed on? Our deputy beauty director went for Pillow Talk 👀
If you haven’t heard of ‘permanent lipstick’ then it’s likely you aren’t an Instagram or a TikTok user. The tattoo make-up treatment, also called a ‘lip blush’, is having a moment thanks to a host of celebrities ranging from TOWIE’s Ella Rae Wise to former Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby and their gorgeous results from having their lips semi-permanently tinted.
In summary the treatment involves having a custom-made pigment semi-permanently applied with a needle. Numbing cream is used so that any discomfort is reduced, and it takes around two hours for the professional to draw out the lip lines and fill in the new colour. The initial treatment and a top-up treatment – which you’ll need to head back to the clinic for around six weeks later – costs £595. Now if you’re a regular lipstick wearer like me, a Pillow Talk purchase will set you back £27 here . The tattoo pigment lasts on lips for up to two years before you need to head back for another session , so if you think about it, you’re saving yourself that repeat purchase of £27 lipsticks. The maths makes sense to me, anyway.
After the treatment, your lips may swell for the next 24 hours. They’ll peel before healing, so the colour you leave the clinic with isn’t the one you’ll end up with. The final results are visible seven days later. As you can see from my during, before and after snaps, my lips settled into a Pillow Talk Medium shade after around a week. I did need to head back for a top-up session because I felt the borders of my lips were a little darker than the inner shade.
