In a heartfelt gesture, Claudia Artiles decided to celebrate her partner Ultrack's (Jorge Batista) 38th birthday by gifting him flowers. However, when she shared a video of the moment, her followers seemed more interested in her noticeably fuller and more vibrant lips than the romantic gesture.
The comments quickly poured in. While some fans praised the romantic display—“That’s love, Claudia, may it last for many years”—others couldn’t help but notice the change in her appearance. One well-meaning follower commented, “You have exceptional beauty, enviable naturally. Don’t risk altering that lovely face; you might not need anything done.”
Responding to the influx of reactions, Claudia took to her Instagram Stories to offer a straightforward clarification.
“I didn’t inject my lips; it’s micropigmentation. I just added some color, and that color fades. Right now, my lips are swollen, looking like a duck. In a week, the color and swelling will subside. I didn’t add volume; I had injections once and I like how they look now,” explained the Miami-based Cuban influencer.
Lip micropigmentation, or lip blushing, is a semi-permanent makeup technique that deposits pigment into the skin’s surface layers to enhance color and definition without adding real volume. Swelling and a darker hue in the initial days are entirely normal and usually diminish within one or two weeks.
But Claudia didn't stop at just clarifying. Staying true to her personality, she humorously responded to a critical private message—“You’re very pretty, but those lips noooo please”—by sharing it on her Stories, alongside a filter of exaggeratedly large lips, and writing, “Look at the nice color.”
This isn’t the first time the content creator has handled such reactions with her characteristic mix of openness and humor. In recent months, she’s been candid about various cosmetic procedures she’s undergone: an endolift under her chin and other touch-ups in April, followed by body contouring surgery later that month in Miami. She also discussed preventive Botox back in January.
Her stance on criticism remains unchanged. Back in May 2025, when faced with comments about a previous lip enhancement, she summed it up with a phrase that has become her trademark: “It’s my body, my decision. When I’m old, I won’t do anything because I’ll already be old, and if something bothers me, I’ll fix it or remove it. Blessings.”
