Lip blush questions.

Will my lips be swollen after lip blush?

Some swelling for 1 to 2 days is normal. Cold compresses help, and most people are back to normal plans by day 3.

Can I get lip blush if I get cold sores?

Yes, with a plan. Ask your doctor about an antiviral to start before your appointment, because lip tattooing can trigger an outbreak.

How long does lip blush last?

Lip blush usually lasts 2 to 3 years before it needs a color refresh.
