Lip Blush vs Lip Filler – What’s the Difference (And Can You Get Both?)

Thinking About Enhancing Your Lips?

You’re not alone — one of the most common questions I get in my Marylebone studio is:

“Should I get lip blush or lip filler?”

And my answer is always the same:
✨ It depends on what you want to enhance.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the two — what they do, who they’re for, and when they can work beautifully together.

💉 What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is an injectable treatment — most commonly hyaluronic acid — used to add volume, shape, and sometimes correct asymmetry.

It’s ideal if you:

• Want fuller, plumper lips

• Have naturally thin lips or volume loss with age

• Like a more sculpted lip border

Results are immediate and last 6–12 months on average.

🧠 Filler = form & structure

💄 What Is Lip Blush?

Lip blush is a semi-permanent PMU treatment that enhances colour, tone, and soft definition using a tattooing technique.

It’s ideal if you:

• Want more visible lips without makeup

• Have uneven tone or pale lips

• Prefer a “my lips but better” look

• Want symmetry without volume

Results heal soft and natural, lasting 2–3 years.

🧠 Lip blush = colour & polish

👯‍♀️ Can You Get Both?

Absolutely — and when done by experienced professionals, they complement each other beautifully.

Here’s how they work together:

• Filler creates the volume

• Lip blush enhances the shape and adds soft, healthy colour

💡 Pro tip: If you’re doing both, I recommend:

1. Filler first

2. Wait 4–6 weeks

3. Then book your lip blush once your lips have settled

This way we can work with your final shape and colour match correctly.
