IF you’ve been on TikTok in the recent months chances are you’ve seen the viral lip blush trend – but for one woman it went horribly wrong.
Essentially a permanent lipstick in the perfect shade designed for you, lip blushing creates a full blush of colour across the pout.

As well as serving as the ideal lippy, without having to reapply a conventional lipstick 24/7, lip blushing also adds definition and creates the illusion of more volume.
A type of tattoo that adds colour and pigment, the viral trend can also be used to correct any asymmetry or pigmentation in the lips.
With over 113million posts on TikTok, it’s certainly become one of the biggest trends in the beauty world – but now woman woman has revealed why you should think twice before jumping on bandwagon.
Nova Sterling, from Texas, the US, decided to give the trend a go – however, she may have got more than she had bargained for.
Posting the epic fail on TikTok, Nova said: ”I decided that it was a great idea to go get my lips blushed today.
”No one told how crazy I was gonna look,” the stunner said in the video, before revealing the jaw-dropping aftermath.
Mortified at how mega plump her brand new pout was, Nova told social media users that she had ”work in two days”.
”Two days… Hopefully, they look fire by then because right now, this is not it.”
Despite Nova’s hilarious reaction, swelling is a totally normal reaction after getting lip blushing and usually subsides within a few days.
After you’ve had your lips blushed – a procedure that takes around 40 minutes to an hour – the total recovery process may take up to a month, explained the experts at Lisa Om.
As well as having your lips balloon in size, it’s also normal to expect some tenderness, intensifying of lip colour, a lot of dryness, minor peeling and more.
While it may be tempting to touch your lips and even peel off some of the skin, it’s strongly advised to not give into the urge, experts warned.
The pros recommend avoiding direct sunlight, skipping a dip in the swimming pool, visiting a sauna and even keeping alcohol and salt away from your new pout.
What are the risks of lip fillers?
THE RISKS of dermal fillers depend on whether the procedure was done correctly and the type of filler used.
The NHS recommends you speak to your practitioner about the risks beforehand.
Serious problems are rare but can include:
- Infection
- A lumpy appearance under the skin, which might need to be treated with surgery or medicine
- The filler moving away from the intended treatment area, which may need to be removed using surgery
- Scarring
- Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness
You should see your GP if you have any complications that need medical attention and speak to your practitioner if you’re not happy with the results or experience lumpiness.
