Lip Blush in Berlin

Before I pigment anything, I pre-draw the shape and we choose the color together. I don’t start until you’ve seen and approved the pre-draw.

I also work in layers, starting soft and building gradually, so there is room to adjust and fine-tune during the touch-up session. My goal is that you feel comfortable with each step and that the result looks natural and balanced.

I use high-quality pigments that are certified under EU REACH standards and designed to stay stable, but even with high-quality pigments, things like your skin type, your lifestyle, how your body heals, sun exposure, and pigment composition can all affect how the color fades.

For example, pigments with iron oxide might turn slightly reddish or pink over time. Carbon-based pigments can look more grey later, and titanium dioxide might leave a whitish tone. Almost all pigments have some of these ingredients, so the way the color changes depends on how much of each is used and how the pigment is applied.

To reduce the chance of visible changes, I apply the pigment evenly and not too deep. And if you ever want to check, I’m happy to show you the certificate for the pigments I use.

Most people can safely get semi-permanent makeup, but there are a few exceptions.

• If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s better to wait.
• If you’re taking blood thinners, they can make healing harder and increase bleeding.
• If you’re on antibiotics or cortisone, please wait until you’re done with them.
• If you’ve had hyaluronic acid injections in the last 4–6 weeks, it’s best to let your skin heal first.
• If you have infectious diseases like HIV or hepatitis, extra precautions are needed.
• You must be at least 18 years old. Even with parental permission, I don’t do PMU treatment for minors.

If you’re unsure or have a medical condition, feel free to reach out and ask. I’m happy to help you figure out if it’s right for you.

It’s hard to say exactly how long permanent makeup will last because it depends on many factors. It depends on how deep the pigment is placed and what your skin is like. Thicker or oilier skin, or very shallow pigment, may fade faster.

Your lifestyle matters too. A fast metabolism, regular workouts, intense skincare, and sun exposure can all make the pigment fade quicker.

In general, you can expect it to last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. But it’s not possible to say exactly when or if it will completely disappear.

Everyone feels pain differently, so the experience can vary. If you’re worried, a numbing cream is available on request.

• Eyebrows: Most people don’t find it painful, though it can feel a bit more sensitive near the nose. Some clients say it tickles, vibrates, or feels like plucking hairs.
• Lips: Many expect this to hurt more than it actually does. The area near the nose may be slightly more uncomfortable.
• Eyeliner: This tends to worry clients the most. But it’s more about the fear of being close to the eyes than actual pain. You may feel a scratchy sensation between the lashes, and your eyes may water, especially in the inner corners.

Overall, most clients find the treatment manageable, and I always make sure you’re as comfortable as possible.

To get the best results, there are a few things to keep in mind before your appointment:

• Health check: If you have any health issues or take medication, ask your doctor if it’s okay to proceed.
• Skin prep: Avoid strong treatments, peels, or direct sun on the area in the two weeks before.
• Makeup: Come without makeup to the area we’ll be treating.
• No alcohol or caffeine: Please don’t have alcohol, caffeine, or painkillers 24 hours before your treatment. They can make you more sensitive and affect healing.
• Plan ahead: Don’t book the appointment right before a holiday, another cosmetic treatment, or when you’re sick.

Preparing well helps your skin heal better and improves the final result. You can find more details in the pre-care instructions.

Even with careful work, clean tools, and safe products, some side effects are possible. These can include:

• Dizziness or chills
• Light bleeding or bruising
• Swelling or redness
• Minor scabbing or scarring
• Color fading or changes, depending on your skin

There’s also a small chance of allergic reactions or infection. And since everyone’s skin heals differently, the color may fade unevenly or need a touch-up.

In the first few days, the pigment might look darker because of scabbing. The final color shows only after healing is complete. Sun, self-tanners, or certain products can also affect the result. Following the aftercare instructions is very important.

The appointment starts with a short consultation. I take “before” photos (only shared with your permission), pre-draw the shape, and we choose the color together.

Only once you’re happy with the pre-draw do I start pigmenting. Afterward, I take “after” pictures and give you a cream along with all the aftercare tips you need.

The full appointment usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, including consultation.

Yes, touch-ups are an important part of the process. After your skin has healed (around 4–6 weeks), I do a second session to refine the shape, add more depth, or adjust the color if needed. Everyone’s skin heals a bit differently, so the touch-up helps even out the result.
