💋 How to Find a Good Lip Blush Artist – What to Look for Before You Book

Thinking about getting lip blush tattooing but unsure how to choose the right artist? You’re not alone.

Lip blush is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances your natural lip colour, shape, and symmetry — but because it’s on your face (and lasts for years!), it’s important to choose someone qualified, experienced, and genuinely skilled in natural, flattering results.

As a qualified PMU artist based in Worthing, West Sussex, here’s what I recommend you look for before booking your first appointment:

1️⃣ Check Their Qualifications (Not Just Their Instagram)

A good lip blush artist should be trained to at least Level 4 in PMU, with certified health & safety and infection control training too. This shows they know more than just the technique — they understand skin, healing, pigment theory, and safety protocols.

Ask about:

Accredited training
Ongoing masterclasses or advanced techniques
Whether they offer consultations or patch tests (they should!)

📍 At By Rachel Jade, I hold a Level 4 in PMU and offer postal patch tests for convenience.

2️⃣ Look at Healed Results — Not Just Fresh Photos

Freshly done lip blush always looks bolder — what matters is how it heals. Healed results should be:

Evenly faded
Soft and natural
In a tone that suits the client’s skin

If the artist only shows immediate results and no healed work… that’s a red flag.

3️⃣ Review Their Style – Is It Custom or One-Size-Fits-All?

Lip blush is not a one-style-fits-all treatment. A good artist will customise:

The pigment tone (based on your undertones)
The shape (mapped to your natural lips)
The finish (some clients want a barely-there tint, others prefer more definition)

Look for someone who tailors each treatment — not someone using the same shade and shape on every client.

4️⃣ Read Client Reviews

Word of mouth matters. Look at:

Google reviews
Instagram testimonials
Before/after captions

Are clients saying their lips healed beautifully? Were they listened to during the consultation? Did they feel cared for?

🔍 Tip: Look for phrases like “natural,” “listened to me,” and “healed so well.”

5️⃣ Ask These Key Questions Before Booking

Do you offer consultations?
Can I see both fresh and healed results?
What pigment brands do you use?
Do you work on lips with filler?
Can I get a patch test by post?

Any good artist should be open, confident, and happy to answer.

Final Thought from Rachel

Choosing the right artist for lip blush is just as important as the treatment itself. You want someone who’s trained, ethical, and focused on enhancing your natural beauty — not chasing trends or shortcuts.

If you’re thinking about getting lip blush in Worthing, I’d love to talk you through the process, show you healed results, and help you feel completely confident in your decision.
