I am absolutely in love with my lips after the amazing job Kim has done! I was always insecure about the lack of pigment on my lips, when I found Kim and saw the reviews, I took a chance and booked a lip blush. TAKE THE CHANCE, BELIEVE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS!! My lips get so many compliments on the color, she takes time to match any color you want so bring inspo colors (lipstick, gloss, pictures in your fav color). So precise with the outlining and shaping! I fell in love with lip blush so much that I got the touch up within 3 months (highly recommend) and also just completed my first ever lip filler at 1mL. I'm about 48hrs after and the healing is going well with minimal bruising. I have a high pain tolerance but Kim uses numbing cream and also her application is so gentle and precise she really takes her time making your pout perfect. Her studio is easy to find, so clean, and she even plays music or audio books while you're laying down. She is so kind and caring, it really shows in her work and how she interacts with customers. If you're looking for a boost in your pout, Kim is the person for you! read more

Finding Kim at Kiss by Kim for lip blush has been a game changer. My lip border had faded with age, making my lips look smaller and uneven. Kim restored the shape, definition, and natural fullness beautifully. She chose the perfect shade for my skin tone and the results instantly made me look brighter and more youthful. Kim is a true artist in her craft and I couldn't be happier. If you're considering lip blush, I highly recommend her!!!! read more

She is sweet, professional, & ensured I was comfortable the entire procedure. She really listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly the look I had envisioned.

I would give Kim 10 plus! I am 69 yrs old and had never done anything to my lips and due to age they were losing color. They looked awful without lipstick on. Kim took the time with me and told me everything I wanted to know about the procedure. She is a kind, sweet, and patient person and really knows her profession well!! What a pleasure to run out without putting lipstick on, just love it and her! I highly recommend Kim!!! read more

I've had deep scars for a long time from acne in my younger years and started getting microneedling treatments at Kim's a few years ago, usually every 1-2 months. The change was gradual but she kept at it and her diligence shows! The greatest impact happens in her studio but the follow up and encouragement outside of our sessions is what makes the difference and sets her aside from the competition. Thanks so much Kim for all your hard work, couldn't have reached this point without you! 10/10 would recommend! You can always talk to Kim directly but if you want to know more about it first from a happy client feel free to reach out to me as well! Cdhariis@gmail.com read more

Finally got KISSDBYKIM and I'm obsessed with my new lip blush! I've been meaning to add some colors to my lips and I always knew I wanted it to be done by Kim. This was my first time getting anything done to my lips so I was very excited and low-key nervous. I wasn't sure what color would look good on me, so I left it up to Kim to pick something that would make me look smackin' good. Kim is literally the SWEETEST, she knows exactly what color would look good on my skin tone and giiirl she don't miss!!! Kim made sure to explain every step of the procedure along the way so I always know what to expect. She's the BEST at what she does and she was soon thorough and meticulous with her work. Pain level is low to moderate. If you can handle a tattoo then this should be a breeze. I came in with my lips slightly chapped but Kim knew just what to do. By the time we were done, my lips were THICC, LUSCIOUS, n JUICY with such a cute color. If you're thinking of getting your lips done, you should do it queen! Okay, SLAY. I'll update photos as my lips goes through the healing process. read more

Thanks Yelp and IG for introducing me to this talented artist! Like the many reviewers here, I can attest to the fact Kim is passionate about her work and it definitely shows during my session with her. I was really nervous and excited about getting lip blushing for the first time so I made sure to follow Kim's pre-session recommendations such as not drinking coffee prior and constantly staying hydrated. The pain level is moderate at the beginning and subsided as the session progressed. My co workers complimented me on my "lipstick color" the day after! As a mom to a toddler, I have very limited time so this helped me BIG time in looking presentable with zero efforts. A touch of lip gloss takes me from bum to glam in seconds. I'm excited to come back again for my touch up session. Based on my lip experience, I highly recommend Kim! read more

My wife just got her lips blushed by Kim yesterday she loves her lips (so do I)! Kim is amazingly talented. The lip blushing didn't hurt my wife, the color is beautiful and Kim's technique gave my wife's lips a beautiful shape. On top of that, my wife has the worst dry lips yet Kim was able to work with it. Thank you so much Kim!! read more

I just got my lip-blushing procedure completed by Kim (touchup session done four days ago). Kim is friendly, professional and patient. She does her job with care, not rushing through, and thrives for perfection. She's skillful in choosing color based on my preference. Her studio is cute and has pleasant atmosphere. I'm glad that I decided to go to her for my first-time lips blush. Thank you, Kim. read more

Such a great experience going to Kim. My first time getting lip fillers and I am definitely happy I went with her.

I have always had dark/dull/discolored lips, which was the reason I started wearing lipstick. I love that lipsticks can give you not only color, but make them look a bit fuller as well. But as you know-- lipstick can come off while you are eating & may need application, it takes time to put them on, and obviously having to spend $ on it as well. I found Kim through my friend. At first, I was hesitant about the idea of lip tint because of the thought of a needle going on my lips.. but I am so glad I decided to move forward with it. I am very big on energy and immediately the first time I met Kim, I felt good energy. It felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends. She thoroughly explained the process, checked-in with me during the process, made me feel comfortable, and provided instructions for aftercare. Pain: it was probably at a level 4 for me. I have tattoos so process was bearable. She uses numbing cream and will reapply! Time: the first session will take 4 hours and half the time for your touch-up. She is a perfectionist-- do not expect good results in quick time :) Results: There will be swelling the day after, but it'll go down by the day after. My lips have healed and I love that I have color on my lips! I literally wake up and go, and not care if I have make-up on or not! Advice: please don't be a horrible rebel like me and follow all of her instructions such as not having alcohol or caffeine the week prior to procedure. It'll cause bleeding and more pain. I just forget as I am going through my days but learn from my mistake :) Check out her IG for photos and more info Re: lip tint. She's is suppppppper sweet, genuine, and awesome and will answer all of your questions/concerns. She offers other services as well. (IG: KISSDBYKIM) read more

Where to start! Kim was welcoming and patient with the process! This was my first time getting something done for my lips, period!! so I was extremely nervous, but she was reassuring and informative. She took the time to work on the shape that I already have and amplified my features without making it too dramatic! The colors do appear saturated at first, but after a few days --2 for me-- it revealed a more natural color that suited my skin tone. My lips look full and luscious by getting KISSDBYKIM ;). She kept in contact to see how the recovery was and made sure that I continued to keep them moisturized!! She's always willing to answer any questions I had and definitely helped with my confidence! Also I like that I just need to put on chapstick/lip gloss, rather than use the same shade lipstick^__^ definitely changed the lip gam Thank you! 10/10 recommend! read more

If you're thinking about trying microneedling I highly recommend Kim! She is so thorough and professional which made me feel calm and comfortable throughout the whole process. She provides numbing before starting so there was little to no pain! Kim is the sweetest she even took the time to follow up with me in a couple of days post procedure to make sure I'm healing well. I've done 3 sessions with her so far & each time I am seeing so much improvement in my hyperpigmentation/acne scars & overall texture of my skin. I look forward to continue getting maintenance treatments with her. read more

Drove all the way from San Bernardino to get my lip blush done by Kim. She was very welcoming and did an amazing job. I love my lip blush and highly recommend getting them done by Kim! I did get the touch up to make them look extra pretty. Touch up was fast and I barely felt the procedure. read more

I recently did a training with Kim and had a great experience! She was so patient with me and gave me the best pointers on technique, marketing, and general advice since I am totally new to the PMU world. I was with her when she did lip blushing and she was so thorough from her pre draw, photos, and all the way through the final product. Check her out! Bonus- a great playlist! read more

I was recommended to Kim from a good friend of mine and the experience was very positive! I'm usually afraid of needles puncturing my skin, but Kim was gentle and very informative throughout the whole process. I had some deep icepick scars I wanted to help smoothen out and that's exactly what Kim helped to remedy. Being very informative on the products she uses, I could her expertise and skill during the micro-needling process. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking a journey to improve their skin-care. Beauty is a process and no pain is no gain! read more

Kim is such an amazing teacher. I 100% recommend her. A lot of information, very helpful and Kim is there to guide you every step of the way. So happy to took my lip blushing course with her read more

Kim was very patient with me and is such a professional. Her studio is very clean and welcoming. I got a small tattoo from her and am so happy with the outcome. The process was so seamless. She explained everything from start to finish so I wouldn't feel nervous. She has such a calming presence that helped me feel at ease for my first tattoo :) I would recommend her to all my friends and family. I already am planning my next tattoo with her! read more

Ok this review has been long overdue because I've been seeing Kim religiously since I met her. I can say that within these past couple months of seeing consistent results that I am in turn more confident. I've had dark lines around my lips my whole life and initially chose to come in to fix that with the lip blush, and let me tell you it changed my life. Since then I've came back countless times for the hyapen fillers and that's like the cherry on top because my lips have never looked better! I'm very choosy when it comes to who I trust to take care of anything face related and she is honestly one of the best. I can't recommend her enough! Tell her Linda sent ya ;) read more

I am in love with my lip blush done by Kim! Not only are my lips the perfect color but they're also the perfect shape. They look so much more symmetrical and full now.

Just finished my 2nd session of lip blushing with Kim this past weekend. I am very happy with my results. I have natural dark lips and after the first session, all the darkness has been neutralized and I got so many compliments on my lips. I am very excited to see the results of the 2nd session. Kim is great and her calmness helped me to be comfortable as I am not very good with needles. She also has the best selection of songs playing in the background! I highly recommend her.

I have been coming to Kim for a couple years now for microneedling and I have definitely seen some improvements in my skin! Upon my first visit, I was self conscious of my enlarged pores, acne scars and fine lines/wrinkles. With her services and recommendations to my skin care routine, I have seen so much improvement with my skin texture. During treatment, she makes it comfortable and never awkward. She is very sociable and talks to all her clients as friends. Pain level is minimal as she uses numbing cream. If you're sensitive, she will put a little more if needed. My favorite part is the end when she puts on the mask because it's so soothing and relaxing. Definitely follow her aftercare tips as that is super important and make sure you keep up with the monthly visits because you won't see a visible difference after one visit. I'm definitely seeing Kim again read more

I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Kim and this experience has been! She is honestly one of the sweetest and most personable people I have ever met. This was the first time I got anything tattooed, and she made it such a pleasant experience. She noticed the unevenness in my lips right away and she corrected my shape. Kim really took the time to find the right color I like in both my initial and touch up session. I've been raving about her nonstop to my friends and I definitely recommend everyone to get their lip blush done! Overall, an amazing experience with an amazing artist! read more

I'm not the kind of person to write reviews all the time but I'm writing this because Kim is so good at what she does. She's so sweet while having a no BS kind of attitude. She communicates with you every step of the way, outlines the procedures, and makes sure you are well-informed. I went to her 3 times; once for lip blush, again for hyaluron fillers, and one more time for my lip blush touch up. Professionalism: She's professional on so many levels. She has you sign waivers, gives you aftercare instructions, has a scheduling system that alerts you of your appointments, and makes sure you know her tools are sanitized and sterilized after every session. Lip blush experience: Kim makes sure you're comfortable and fully numb before she starts. She also makes sure the numbing cream hasn't gone away mid procedure and will reapply as needed. Before Kim, I had been eyeing to get my lips done but ever since I had a poor experience with my ombré brow procedure, I was skeptical on who was going to come near my face with a needle again. Kim understood my vision as I kept sending her samples and she knew I wanted that "just bit a popsicle" look. Pain was moderate. If you've gotten tattoos before, you know the initial outlining is always the worst part but lucky for you, that's when the numbing cream is at its maximum strength. The initial appointment took roughly 3 hours and the touch up was much easier, way less painful, and was around 1 hour or so. Hyaluron fillers: Compared to the lip blush, this was nearly painless! The sound is kind of scary but I barely felt anything. It sounds a lot worse than it is. What helped me is when Kim offered to count down before she injected the hyaluronic acid. It's been a few months or so and my lips are still plump! Aftercare: If there's anything you can take away from her aftercare instructions, it's DRINK FROM A STRAW, EAT WITH A FORK, & ALWAYS MOISTURIZE YOUR LIPS. I use the NOONI apple butter lip mask but you can use the lanaige one too. However, purchase the aquaphor lip repair NOW. It's truly a life saver. And wait a week after the procedure to use a lip scrub because you'll need it. Trustttt. The lips heal fairly quickly and remember to be patient because the true color doesn't come out until a couple weeks after your procedure. Scheduling: She's also super flexible with scheduling. I had a lot going on so I had to reschedule a few times but Kim was very understanding and accommodating (You're the best, Kim!) If you're hesitant, don't! Trust the process as Kim is good at her craft. read more

If you're looking for a sign to get your lips done, HERE IT IS !! I have always been a little insecure about my lips as the discoloration made my lips seem smaller and less full. As someone who fears needles and has never had a tattoo before, I can honestly say the anticipation was worse than the pain. Kim was absolutely amazing (and she's been certified 6 times!!) Before my appointment, she sent two appointment reminders as well tips for pre-care. On the day of, the beginning of the session consists of the consultation portion where color, shape, and other requests are discussed before the outlining of the lips. I also brought in a favorite lipstick color of mine to help mix/match/make a similar shade that fits with my skin tone. After the shape is approved, TWO types of numbing gels are applied before the procedure begins for maximum comfort. Post-procedure, for best results, I was told to (1) not pick on the scabbing skin - it can ruin the pigmentation, (2) keep your lips moisturized at all times (Kim even provided me with some ointment), (3) avoid sun and sweating - can also effect pigmentation, (4) use a straw/avoid spicy, greasy, oily, and salty foods. Any other tips are included in her post-care instructions. Kim deserves 5 stars, not only for her excellent services but also for her amazing customer service. She holds the ability to recreate her clients' visions, insuring a boost in their confidence. Thank you again, Kim !! see you in 6 weeks for my color touch UPDATE: Saw Kim for my touch up and the process was very similar to the first time so I knew what to expect (I even fell asleep on the table at one point). After care was also the same. I love the way my lips have turned out, Kim is the absolute best !! read more

I did my lip blush with Kim twice already and all I can say is that she is very talented and knows how to do it really well. First lip blush was 2020 and for 2 years I didn't wear any lipstick only lip gloss and Vaseline. Then 2023 I did another lip blush session and I love the color coz we went super bright red and it was the best decision ever, I haven't done my retouch but it already looks good but I'm still coming back for a retouch to make it more brighter. Definitely recommend getting your lips done with Kim read more

I have smaller lips and have lost shape from aging but was tired of lining my lips and wearing lipstick every day. Thank goodness I found Kim! She is the best! I did the lip blush 8 weeks ago and was so impressed. She is really detailed oriented and made the perfect natural color for my lips that I asked for. She also spent time lining the shape of my lips before the tattoo process which was perfect and natural. Goodby shrinking aging lips and hello youthful lips from my past! I loved that she made an aftercare meme showing the process because it was spot on and left me with no surprises. Last week I did my lip touch up and again I am so happy! I will be going back again in a year or so for my next touch up. Thank you so much Kim! read more
