The ombré lips technique in permanent makeup is becoming more and more popular and lots of artists are investing in training and education so they can offer this treatment to their clients. You’ve probably seen a growing number of artists sharing pictures and videos of clients with the finished look and understandably want to know more!

Before you invest in learning the treatment yourself, keep reading to learn from an experienced artist what the technique is, how to create the perfect ombré lip look, and the must-have supplies for achieving a flawless lip blush.

What Are Ombré Lips?



The ombré lip blush technique involves implanting pigment more heavily on the outer edges of the lips and more lightly towards the centre to create a gradual fade. 

Designed to enhance the natural appearance of the lips, it’s perfect for clients who want a more natural and subtle lip look. 

How To Create Ombré Lips



Expert PMU artist Lauryn, who specialises in lip blush treatments, shared some of her tips and tricks for achieving the perfect ombré lips!

"Ombré is my absolute favourite Lip Blush technique. It challenges my creativity to create unreal results giving my clients the 3D liner look. A sharp needle is a must for me with this technique to create the crispest border. Precision is key! I personally love the deeper pigments too for the dark border blend - such as deep berry colours and mauves."
