In this video I’m giving you my real 2.5 year update on my dark lip neutraliser (lip tattoo) and answering the exact questions you left me after my first video. I got my lips neutralised back in August 2021 because I’ve always had genetically darker lips (thanks dad) and I was genuinely tired of feeling like I had to “cover” them with lipsticks and gloss 24/7. I tried all the natural remedies people swear by—lemon, sugar, honey scrubs, oils—you name it… and for me, they just didn’t work. I break down where I went (Nouva Beauty in Fulham—ask for Maya), how much I paid (£100 for the first session and £100 for the touch-up), how long it took (3 hours then 1.5 hours), and what the pain was like for me (about a 5.5/10 with numbing cream). I also talk about color choice (it’s picked for your tone—mine leaned reddish/orangey), healing (no cold sores or swelling for me), and whether it changed my lip texture (only temporary dryness). Most importantly: I show my lips up close and tell you straight—my results have lasted, I still love them, and I personally feel like this has been worth every penny.
