Sand until now semi-permanent make-up concerned eyebrows and lips, now it’s the turn of the cheeks. It’s called Blush Tattoo and the trend was born on social media. Real dermopigmentary treatment, like eyebrow make-up, It’s similar to a tattoo. Here’s how it works.
Blush Tattoo, tattooing blush on your face is the latest (bizarre) beauty trend
The trend exploded when Grace Clarke, marketing consultant and former director of Allure USA, posted his first experience on TikTok of dermopigmentation on the cheeks. The followers’ reactions were divided: if on the one hand there were those who praised the technique, on the other they criticized it. This is how the blush tattoo ended up on everyone’s lips.
What does it consist of? AND a dermopigmentation treatment, performed by expert hands who, with the help of a machine with a thin needle specific for this area of the face, “implants” micronized pigments under the skin.
Compared to the classic tattoo, in this case the color is not injected into the deep dermis: thus it has a lighter and more comfortable result much shorter duration . Long lasting makeup effect.
What to know about the treatment
Once the treatment is finished, there may be some redness or swelling in the next 24-48 hours but nothing more. In some cases, multiple applications may be necessary: the first to give the complexion, the second to touch it up so as to make it as natural as possible. It should be underlined that this type of treatment is not recommended in the presence of rosacea and eczema, but also during breastfeeding or pregnancy.
A trend that raises some doubts
The blush tattoo raises some doubts, also due to the fact that, unlike Eastern Europe or Japan where manga make-up is always very popular, in the West it is not yet very widespread,
The first doubt was expressed by the users themselves to Grace Clarke: why resort to this treatment? The former director replied that the blush tattoo allows you to save time on make up and also to appear made up without the annoyance of heavy textures on the face.
The second doubt concerns the possible onset of skin problems after treatment. For this it is necessary to consult your doctor and rely on very expert hands.
Traditional blushes, a true autumn-winter trend
The blush tattoo is yet another demonstration of how much the blush is the protagonist of the beauty trends of recent months. In the summer, Sunset Blush dominated, of which Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid were “testimonials” on social media
This winter, it’s time for the “Dolly Blush”: askeep shy, for a mass-market application, cHon real dustings abounded on the cheeks like porcelain dolls and nineteenth-century ladies.
