How to Know If You Need a Lip Touch-Up (And When to Book It)
Lip embroidery gives you that healthy tint, that natural flush, that just-right shape. But after your first session, it’s common to notice some areas fade faster than others.
That’s not a mistake—it’s part of the process.
Here’s when to book your lip touch-up, why it matters, and what happens if you skip it.
Why the First Session Isn’t the Final Look
During the first session, your artist:
Shapes and maps your lips
Layers on pigment
Works with your skin tone and undertone
But as your lips heal, some pigment will fade. Everyone’s skin absorbs and holds colour differently—and lips move more than almost any other part of your face.
What you’re seeing 4–6 weeks later?
That’s not the final result—it’s phase one.
What the Touch-Up Really Does
Your second session:
Reinforces faded areas
Smooths colour for better symmetry
Adjusts tone if needed
Helps lock in pigment for longer-lasting results
Without this follow-up, you might end up with patchiness or a lip colour that fades much faster than it should.

How Long Should You Wait?
We typically recommend booking your touch-up:
6 to 8 weeks after your initial appointment
Once the lips are fully healed (no peeling, no tenderness)
Don’t wait too long—the longer you delay, the more colour might fade, and the harder it is to match tones during the second session.

💡 No, It’s Not a Waste of Time—It’s the Final Layer
Think of lip embroidery like painting. The first coat lays the base. The second seals it. If you skip that last layer, your colour can fade unevenly and much faster than expected.
