Permanent Makeup with Botox: What You Should Know

Authored by

Karen Betts Team

Permanent makeup with Botox is a common combination, but timing and technique are key to making both treatments work well together. While we don’t offer Botox, many of our clients choose to have cosmetic injectables elsewhere and want to understand how this might affect the permanent makeup treatments they get with us.

We have over 30 years of experience in natural-looking, tailored enhancements, and our team is here to guide you through the process with care and expertise. No matter where you’re at in your journey, we’re here to offer guidance that helps you feel confident and ensures your results look their best for the long term.

How Does Permanent Makeup Work with Botox?

If you're wondering how permanent makeup works with botox, it’s worth knowing how the two treatments interact. Botox works by relaxing facial muscles (especially around the eyes and brows) which can subtly change how your features sit or move. That’s why timing really matters when you’re planning both.

At Karen Betts Professional, we usually recommend having your permanent makeup treatment before Botox, or waiting 2-3 weeks after your Botox has settled. This gives us a clear view of your natural facial expression, which is essential when designing results that feel balanced and right for you.

We’ll always take your full face into account – how it moves, how it rests and how you want to feel when you look in the mirror. If you’ve already had injectables or are planning ahead, we’ll ensure your permanent makeup looks natural now and stays flattering over time.

Lip Blush with Filler – Enhancing Shape Without Overdoing It

When done well, lip blush with filler can work beautifully. Lip fillers can add volume, while lip blush brings definition and a soft, lasting tint. The two complement each other in a way that looks refined, not obvious. The key is working with the lips as they are – not as they appear during swelling or change.

If you’ve had filler, it’s important that the shape has fully settled before we begin designing your lip blush. This ensures the result stays even, balanced, and true to you.

Our artists take time to read your face, assess movement and symmetry, and choose pigments that work with your natural tones – whether you’ve had filler or not. The aim is always the same: lips that feel like yours, just more defined, more even, and beautifully enhanced.

If you’re considering lip blush and have questions about timing with filler, we’d love to help. Get in touch with our team for advice tailored to you.

Why Timing Matters with Cosmetic Enhancements

When you’re investing in your appearance, it’s important that all your treatments work together – not against each other. Botox and fillers are designed to adjust movement and volume, which can subtly shift the contours of your face. That’s why timing matters when it comes to permanent makeup.

If your brows have just been lifted or your lips have extra fullness, we want to give those changes time to settle before designing anything permanent. Rushing in too soon could mean designing to a shape that isn’t truly yours – or one that won’t stay the same for long.

At Karen Betts Professional, we’re used to working alongside clients’ wider cosmetic plans. We’ll help you map out the best order and timing for treatments, ensuring your results look balanced and natural long after you leave the clinic.

FAQs: Permanent Makeup with Botox and Fillers

Should I have permanent makeup before or after injectables?

If you’re planning both, it’s often best to schedule your permanent makeup first. That way, we’re working with your face in its natural state. But if you’ve already had Botox or fillers, that’s completely fine too – we’ll simply allow enough time for things to settle before beginning.

Can I get lip blush with filler?

Yes, lip blush with filler can work beautifully together. Fillers enhance volume, while lip blush adds definition and soft, lasting colour. To get the best results, we recommend waiting at least 4 weeks between treatments. This gives your lips time to settle, helping us shape and shade with precision.

Will permanent makeup affect my Botox or filler results?

No, it won’t – as long as everything is timed and planned properly. We’re experienced in working around cosmetic enhancements and always take your full treatment history into account. Our goal is to ensure your results look cohesive, balanced, and completely personal to you.

How permanent makeup works with Botox – does it look natural?

Yes. When done well and timed correctly, permanent makeup with Botox still looks incredibly natural. At Karen Betts Professional, we design everything to suit your unique features – taking into account how your face moves, rests, and ages. That way, your enhancements work together rather than compete.

Do you offer Botox or dermal fillers at Karen Betts Professional?

No – we specialise exclusively in permanent makeup and medical micropigmentation. But we’re happy to help you plan around any injectables you’ve had elsewhere, ensuring your treatment looks beautiful and lasts well.

Is a consultation needed before permanent makeup?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. A consultation gives us time to understand your goals, review any recent cosmetic treatments, and plan your permanent makeup with care. It’s the first step in creating results that are as safe as they are stunning.

Consultations can take place in person at one of our clinics, or online if you prefer. Either way, you’ll receive expert guidance from one of our trained professionals – with no pressure to commit until you feel completely ready.
