What makes ombré different?
Unlike a more uniform wash of color, an ombré effect intentionally uses a gradient: deeper at the edges, softer toward the centre. The appearance depends on the technique, natural lip tone and healing.
Lip artistry
Dimension through color.
Lip ombré is a cosmetic tattoo style that uses changes in pigment intensity to create a graduated, dimensional look.

Good to know
Lip Ombré questions.
Anything else? We are happy to talk it through at a consultation.
Is ombré more noticeable than lip blush?
It gives more definition at the lip line, so it reads a little more like a soft lip liner. The centre stays light and natural.
How long does ombré last?
Usually two to three years, depending on your skin, sun exposure and aftercare.
