What Causes Two-Toned Lips (And How Can I Fix It?)

Nov 24

You’re not imagining it—your lips aren’t just one colour. Maybe the top is darker than the bottom, or the edges are patchy while the centre stays pale. This uneven colouring is called two-toned lips, and it’s more common than most people realize—especially if you’ve never had any treatment done before.

At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we help first-time clients correct two-toned lips gently, with treatments designed to bring back natural, even-looking colour.

What Causes Two-Toned Lips?

Even untreated lips can develop uneven pigmentation. Some of the most common causes include:

Natural melanin differences between upper and lower lips
Sun exposure (especially the top lip)
Hormonal changes
Product buildup from tints or balms
Past dryness, irritation, or biting
Genetics

Over time, these differences become more noticeable, especially under camera flash or bright lighting—making your lips feel mismatched with the rest of your face.

💄 How to Fix Two-Toned Lips—Gently and Naturally

You don’t need harsh treatments or heavy lipstick to correct uneven lip tone. At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we offer a progressive, gentle approach that restores balance over time:

✅ Lip Embroidery Blush: Designed for melanin-rich or two-toned lips, this service begins with a pigment-neutralizing step to lighten darker patches (especially the top lip) and prepare the base for colour correction.

✅ Lip Embroidery Enhancement: Once your tone is balanced, this treatment defines shape, restores softness, and creates fuller-looking lips—without exaggeration.

✅ Lip Embroidery Blush: As a finishing step, it adds a soft pink or coral hue to complete your look in a way that feels natural and long-lasting.
