Book Your Lip Blush Appointment With Carla

Carla is the co-founder of Sculpted Studios and one of the most influential lip blush artists in the world. Over 11 years of permanent makeup, she has reshaped how the industry approaches color on lip tissue.

Two industry firsts that made the modern lip blush possible

Creator of modern color theory for lips. The framework now taught globally for matching pigment to skin tone and starting lip color, accounting for warm and cool undertones, melanin levels, and how pigment shifts as it heals into the lip.
Developer of the first pigment line ever formulated specifically for lip tissue. Lips are non-keratinized tissue, chemically different from the keratinized skin where traditional tattoo pigment lives. Lip tissue needs pigment chemistry built for it, not adapted from skin tattoo inks. Carla built that line. Today's industry uses descendants of that work.

Carla's philosophy

"PMU is art founded in science. The technique you use is only as good as the chemistry behind it. Lips are not skin. They are non-keratinized tissue with their own healing rhythm and their own pigment behavior. Once you understand that, every color decision becomes obvious."

Whether you are booking your first lip blush appointment, a neutralization for melanin-rich lips, or a refinement on prior work, you are getting an artist who built the science behind the technique.
