<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last month, American TikToker Grace Clark (@gracegclarke) - former editor-in-chief of Allure magazine, now a marketing consultant, went viral with a video sharing her experience with <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/how-to-apply-blush-bronzer-makeup-for-different-face-shape" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blush</a> tattooing, a method of injecting light pink color into both cheeks to keep the face always rosy without makeup. This video quickly attracted more than 4 million views and became the center of debate. In particular, many people with chronic blushing expressed doubts about the necessity of this type of tattoo.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">While some viewers expressed their delight, many did not hesitate to criticize, saying that this is a “shocking” trend with an extremely expensive price ($400/tattoo). Many even humorously said that their skin problems such as rosacea or high blood pressure “naturally” create a similar effect without spending a dime. Comments such as <em>“Me and my rosacea are confused”</em> or <em>“I’m trying to erase the redness, not add to it”</em> show the skepticism and humor that this trend has aroused.</p>

<p>Is this beauty trend really necessary?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Seven days after her first video went viral, Grace returned to <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/blush-summer-makeup-tiktok-makeup-pomegranate-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok</a> with a three-minute video to address questions and feedback from netizens. This time, Grace confidently showed off her face with permanent blush that was more subtly treated, but still left a clear mark between her natural cheek colour and skin tone. When asked by Vogue US about the mixed reactions from the public, Grace candidly shared:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s the price of having your life on social media. I&rsquo;ve always been open about what I go through, and to be honest, I&rsquo;ve tried much more painful skin treatments,&rdquo;</em> Grace says. <em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never let trends dictate my definition of beauty. For me, the most important thing is to look your best, regardless of whether it&rsquo;s trendy or not.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Blush is a big part of the beauty trend for 2024, with styles like “boyfriend blush,” “workout flush,” and “sunset blush.” But for Grace Clarke, getting cheek tattoos wasn’t just a matter of following a trend, it was a way to optimize her life. <em>“My biggest luxury is freedom of time and space.</em> <em>I love ways to reduce the burden of personal care. This is my way of being beauty-smart so I can focus on the things that really matter in life.”</em></p>

<div class="flex max-w-full flex-col flex-grow"><div data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="70c9264a-1ceb-42b3-be36-485a35c68b13" dir="auto" class="min-h-8 text-message flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 whitespace-normal break-words [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-5" data-message-model-slug="gpt-4o"><div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[3px]"><div class="markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light"><p style="text-align: justify;"> When you think of tattoos, you might immediately think of bold, full-body ink, like Travis Barker. But according to experts, cosmetic tattoos are a different story. Traditional tattoos use needles to insert ink deep into the skin, creating sharp, bold lines. Cosmetic tattoos, on the other hand, apply gentle pressure, just enough to cover the surface of the skin with a layer of translucent color, like a watercolor painting. <span style="font-weight: 400;">This gentle pressure gives the tattoo a soft, natural look, without any harsh lines.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"> The process of getting a cosmetic tattoo is not simple and requires multiple sessions to achieve the perfect pigmentation, including touch-ups to adjust the color. As with any type of tattoo, the skin needs time to heal and go through a “not-so-perfect” phase before the final result truly shines on the skin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> This method is only suitable for people with light skin tones, specifically levels 1 to 4 on the Fitzpatrick scale. This is a popular skin classification system in dermatology. It is used to identify different skin types based on how the skin reacts to the sun, ranging from type I (very sensitive skin, burns easily) to type VI (very dark skin, rarely burns).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Experts also warn that people with skin conditions like eczema or rashes should think twice before getting a blush tattoo. Additionally, if you choose this method, you will have to give up using chemical exfoliants like retinol, BHA or AHA on the tattooed area and avoid laser treatments until the tattoo has completely faded.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Tatoo Blush is becoming a new wave in the beauty industry. The art of cosmetic tattoos, with its exquisite beauty and outstanding effectiveness, not only redefines the modern approach to beauty but also becomes a symbol of the desire for freedom, autonomy and strong personality in creating each person&#39;s own style.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> <em>Video: gracegclarke, mireyarios, acidpeep.tattoo</em></p></div></div></div></div>
