What is lip tattooing at Cori Ryan New York? My approach is to enhance the natural color and shape of your lips, not to replace traditional makeup. My goal is to create a lip blush or lip neutralization result that feels like a more flattering version of your lips, giving you a base color that complements your natural undertone.

The most flattering enhancement comes from understanding your unique lip undertone and boosting its saturation, creating a uniform color from the center of the lips to the vermillion border. Since lips aren't naturally uniform in color, some areas may need more saturation than others to achieve a balanced look for your cosmetic lip tattoo.

What I recommend: Your natural lip color, but with more depth and vibrancy—more of what you already have.

What I advise against: Matching lipsticks or colors far removed from your natural undertone. While we can always find a balance that works for you, it’s important to stay within your natural lip color range. This ensures the best result that will age well.

Ultimately, my approach to lip blushing is about enhancing your lips to look their best—with natural depth and color uniquely yours. Whether in Manhattan, Harlem, or the Upper East Side, lip blush or lip neutralization can give you the enhancement you desire. I’m here to help you achieve a subtle, balanced look with lip blushing that enhances your features. Don’t miss out on more of my permanent makeup near Brooklyn, NY.

The Process: Consultation
When you arrive for your appointment, we’ll begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and expectations for the lip blush or lip neutralization service. This allows me to find the best path for you. I’ll ask you to tell me about your lips—what’s your story? What do you know about lip tattooing, and why are you interested in this service? Most importantly, we’ll explore whether my approach aligns with your goals and if this service can deliver the results you're looking for.

  • The border of my lips is pale, making them look smaller than they are. I’d love to enhance the shape and definition of my lips to make them appear full and balanced.
  • There are dark spots (grey or brown) on my lips, and I’d like to even them out and bring more pink tones to match the rest of my lips.

Common Client Goals That Cannot Be Achieved with This Service:
  • I love a bold red lipstick look and want the tattoo to replace my lipstick.
  • I prefer a nude lipstick look and want the tattoo to replace my lipstick.
  • I like to overline my lips to make them look bigger, and I want the tattoo to replace my lip liner.

This NYC lip tattoo consultation is key to ensuring that you're aiming for a realistic cosmetic lip tattoo and that we’re on the same page about the results. Ultimately, I aim to provide natural, long-lasting lip neutralization and blushing enhancements tailored to your unique features.

 

Photos and Color Analysis
Before starting the lip blush or lip neutralization process in my NYC studio, I take photos under studio lighting to analyze your natural lip undertones. Together, we’ll review these photos to identify your true lip color and decide whether lip neutralization is needed before moving on to lip blushing.

Choosing a permanent lip color can be overwhelming, but with my lip blush color theory expertise, you can trust me to handle the pigment selection. My goal is to enhance your natural lips and achieve a flattering result.

Sketch and Design
Once we’ve aligned on your lip blush goals, I’ll sketch the shape of your lips. This step enhances your natural lip shape, defining the edges and refining areas lacking pigmentation. The sketch is fully adjustable, and once you’re happy with the design, we’ll proceed with the tattooing process.

Tattooing
Once the shape is finalized, I’ll begin tattooing your lips. This process usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on your lip size and needs. Most clients find the procedure manageable with minimal discomfort. I don’t use numbing agents, ensuring the best natural results and smoother healing. I usually work over the entire lip one or two times, fine-tuning as needed. At the end of the session, we’ll review the result to make sure you’re completely satisfied.

Lip neutralization is perfect for those with uneven pigmentation or dark spots. It helps balance cool or dark undertones, creating a smooth, even lip canvas before lip blushing. Whether you're in the Upper East Side or Upper West Side, lip neutralization provides a natural way to achieve beautiful lips.



Understanding Lip Blush & Lip Neutralization Benefits



I often ask clients about the difference between lip blush and lip neutralization and which service they should book. In simple terms, lip blush is typically for clients with naturally even-toned lips, while lip neutralization is for those with darker or uneven pigmentation. However, most of my clients share a similar goal—enhancing the color of their lips.

The distinction between lip blush and lip neutralization is more important for me as your artist than for you as a client. That’s why I don’t differentiate between the two services on my booking page; I simply have clients book “lips” and then assess what’s needed during our consultation.





Achieve Beautiful Results with Lip Blushing and Lip Neutralization

The most important thing is to communicate the look you hope to achieve. From there, it’s my job to determine the best approach to help you achieve it and ensure your desired outcome is realistic based on your natural lip color. The same goes for the rest of my offerings. Clients adore the results of my other services, such as eyebrow tattoos in Manhattan, NY.
