Hi, I’m Ava, the founder of

Lip blush by Ava James

I’m a fully qualified, fully insured Lip Blush and Permanent Makeup Artist with a passion for creating soft, natural-looking results that enhance your features and boost your confidence. My goal is to give every client beautifully defined lips that suit their individual style while maintaining a fresh, natural appearance.

Every treatment begins with a thorough consultation to understand your desired look, assess your natural lip tone and shape, and create a bespoke treatment plan tailored just for you.


Your safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I work to the strictest hygiene standards and use only premium, industry-leading products throughout every treatment. I exclusively use Tina Davies and Perma Blend pigments—two of the most respected and trusted pigment brands in the permanent makeup industry—known for their exceptional quality, beautiful healed results, colour stability, and safety.

Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural lip colour, restore lost definition, create the illusion of fuller lips, or brighten darker lips, you can feel confident knowing you’re in experienced and caring hands.

I take pride in providing a relaxing, professional experience from consultation through to aftercare, ensuring every client leaves feeling confident, comfortable, and excited about their results.

I look forward to welcoming you to my studio at 1 Houndgate, Darlington DL1 5RL.
