Pink lip camouflage in Pretoria East Lip Camouflage

Many clients with deeper skin tones have lips in two shades: the outer lip matches their skin, and the inner part is pink. Lip camouflage (also called lip neutralisation) blends that pink area with a pigment matched to your skin tone, so your lips are one even, natural colour. It works gradually: we build the result over a series of sessions.

Men and women both come to me for this. Most clients need 3 or more sessions, at least 6 weeks apart. Every lip is different, so I map out your plan and pricing on WhatsApp before we start.

FAQ

Questions clients ask

Something else on your mind? WhatsApp Tess on 084 911 1955.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually 3 or more, at least 6 weeks apart. It depends on how large and how pink the area is, and some areas of the lip hold pigment less easily than others. I will give you an idea once I have seen a photo.

What does healing look like?

Lips swell for a day or two and can look darker or patchy before they settle. The result of each session shows at about 6 weeks.

How long does it last?

Usually 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin, the sun and your aftercare. Sunscreen on your lips helps it last.

Does it hurt?

Most clients describe it as a scratchy feeling rather than pain. We take breaks whenever you need one, and I talk you through every step.

Where is the studio?

In a security complex in Equestria, Pretoria East. Open every day from 7:30 to 17:00. Call 084 911 1955 when you arrive and I will let you in.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Tess for my permanent makeup was one of the best decisions I've made. She possesses an incredible talent for enhancing natural beauty. Before the procedure, I was a bit self-conscious about my eyebrows(previously done at another artist), but now, thanks to her artistry, I feel significantly more confident. The transformation was remarkable, and the convenience of perfectly applied makeup every day is invaluable. The entire process, from consultation to aftercare, was handled with utmost care and precision. I wholeheartedly recommend Tess for a truly life-enhancing permanent makeup experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very afraid to do permanent eyeliner, but after I was referred to Tess I decided to do it anyway, I knew from the moment I met Tess that I was in good hands and that I could relax. I received a lot of complements, I have since had a touch up on the eye liner after many years just to refresh as it was still perfect and had my eyebrows done.  I am very happy with my eyebrows as it look very natural. Tess is incredibly professional, her work is of the highest quality. Tess also makes sure that you have everything you need for aftercare. I would recommend Tess anytime.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Tess to get my eye brows and lips done. She is the kindest most professional person. I had really bad eyebrows done previously by someone else, and she not only colour corrected it, but gave me the most beautiful brows! Having Tess work on your face, is like receiving confidence! Thank you so much, for my beautiful brows and lips! You are the best!!!
