At Art of Lash we can help you achieve the lips you always dreamt of. 

We specialize in machine work only, to help create the most natural enhancements. 

For lips, we can create full lips or blush lips. Each client will be assessed based on the color of their lips, hair, skintone, and symmetry of their lips.

Each session is customized and colors will be handpicked by our professionals to suit your features. Lip color tend to heal 50% lighter.

Full Lip + Lip Blush

Cosmetic lip tattoos have exploded the past few years. Our lip service can help you get that very natural "blushy look", and/or a more defined lip.

Each enhancement can be very natural and help either pale, unsymmetrical or undefined lips show more. Perfect for the client wanting to enhance their lips with a makeup-free option. 

** Please understand that we can help to slightly adjust asymmetry, we cannot go far outside of the natural shape as it will create an unnatural appearance.
