Permanent eyeliner is a permanent makeup technique,
cosmetic tattoo, that gives you the look of wearing eyeliner by
injecting pigments into your eyelid skin.
As fabulous as on-point eyeliner can be, it can also be your worst enemy on busy mornings. That’s why so many people love semi-permanent eyeliner, a long-lasting solution for a smudge-proof eyeliner look
But since the results of this permanent makeup treatment last even up to 5 years, it’s important to get it right and be sure you will love wearing it that far into the future.

SUBTLE LASH ENHANCER
The most subtle and the most sought-after style, since it suits all eye shapes and ages, and it’s appropriate for all occasions .This is the most subtle technique of the eyes semi-permanent makeup, and it involves embedding numerous pigmentation dots in between the natural lashes on the top and bottom eyelid
This procedure becomes more popular among men as well, especially if they have fair or spare lashes since this treatment enhances and re-defines eyes’ contour. Moreover, Lash Enhancer technique is also perfect for clients who believe that their eyes are rather small, the treatment not only makes eyes look bigger but emphasize eye color or creates the illusion of thick and fuller lashes without fake final effect
CLASSIC EYELINER
The line starts at the first lash in the inner corner and ends with the last lash at the outer corner of the eye, without a prominent wing. In case the lower lash line is also done, the two stay close but separated since the skin at the connection is more prone to pigment migrations, and connecting the two makes eyes look smaller.
Perfectly designed and applied semi-permanent eye makeup enhances the eyes’ contour and shape. Skillfully selected techniques can visually enlarge smaller eyes or adjust the size of bigger eyes, as well as make eyes appear more oval, almond shape.
SMOKEY LINER
The boldest option. The shaded or smokey look is achieved by adding a shade above the line, smoking out its edges. A wing is usually added, too. The shade is usually added in a deep brown tone, slightly lighter than the line itself. A purple shade is also popular for shading.
As fabulous as the smokey style can be, it’s best suited for clients who wear a significant amount of makeup on a daily basis. For someone with a sporty, casual style, this might be too much.
BOTTOM LINER
Bottom lid eyeliner can be added to each of the eyeliner tattoo styles. This extra line should follow the lashes, meaning start at the first lash and end at the last one..
STAGES OF HEALING
Eyelids are a sensitive part of the face, and the skin around the eyes is very delicate. So eyeliner tattoo healing may not be the most comfortable time in your life, but it’ll definitely be worth it once the pigments settle and you get to enjoy smudge-proof eyeliner for years.
Everyone’s skin and system are unique, but here’s a general permanent eyeliner healing schedule day by day
Day 1
You can expect some soreness, swelling and irritation on the first day, or even longer.
You can relieve the discomfort with a cold compress, just don’t press too hard.
Everyone’s skin reacts differently, so give it some time. If the swelling doesn’t subside
within a few days, contact us and have them assess the situation.
You can also expect lymph buildup, which you need to clean according to the aftercare plan .
Your freshly done eyeliner looks very dark and the pigment will fade up to 50% until the permanent eyeliner healing process is through.
The true color will only emerge after about 3 weeks.
Day 2
The swelling on your eyelids should be better by now; it may
even subside completely.
Your eyelids feel tight and the lash area is sensitive. Don’t touch it, just clean the area gently and apply an ointment .
Day 3-4
The scabbing and flaking stage starts. Most people
experience it and it is a perfectly normal part of the
permanent eyeliner healing process – it means your skin is closing up the wounds.
Never pick at the scabs no matter how itchy they get! A certain amount of pigment gets caught in the scabs and if you rip them off before the pigments settle, you’ll create non-pigmented patches. Let the flaking and peeling stage proceed at its own pace.
This is the hardest stage to deal with. The area is itchy and it doesn’t look very attractive. Luckily, it doesn’t last too long, and you can relieve the itchiness with an aftercare ointment .
