Entry Requirements

Students must hold a Level 2 beauty therapy qualification or an equivalent certification to ensure a suitable understanding of skincare, hygiene and client safety. This background supports your progression into the technical and creative demands of lip tattooing.

Course Duration and Schedule

This training is delivered over a full intensive day, giving you both the theoretical grounding and hands on experience needed to work confidently with lip pigmentation techniques. The course runs from 10am to 6pm, and students are asked to arrive by 9:45am to allow time for preparation and briefing before training begins.

How Long Is the Course

The Lip Blush course lasts 8 hours in total. Although the duration is compact, the day is structured to ensure you receive extensive theory instruction, live demonstrations and guided practice, all supported by a highly experienced trainer.

How Will I Be Assessed

Assessment takes place through a combination of practical demonstration, active participation and a short Q&A session. You will be evaluated on your knowledge of lip anatomy, client preparation, machine handling, colour selection and your ability to perform the treatment using correct techniques. Feedback is provided throughout the day to help you refine your skills and feel fully prepared for professional practice.

Kit Requirements

All tools, pigments, machines and materials needed for training will be provided during the course. However, if you wish to purchase your own machine or pigments for future use, your tutor will be happy to offer advice and recommendations.

Model Requirements

Students will typically practise on training mats before moving to guided practical work.
