Permanent Makeup Eyeliner – FAQ

‍

1. What is permanent makeup eyeliner?

Permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattoo that enhances your lash line and eyes with pigment, giving the look of perfectly applied eyeliner that doesn’t smudge or wash off.

‍

2. How long does it last?

Results typically last 2–5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended every 3 years to maintain a fresh look.

‍

3. Does it hurt?

We use a medical-grade topical numbing agent to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild scratching or tickling feeling.

‍

4. How long is the healing process?

Initial healing takes about 5–7 days. Pigment will appear darker at first, then soften as the skin heals. Full healing and color stabilization can take 4–6 weeks. No products are to touch the area for the duration.

‍

5. What styles of eyeliner can I choose from?

• Lash Enhancement: A subtle pigment placed between the lashes for a natural, fuller lash look.
• Classic Eyeliner: A defined line along the lash line, soft or bold.
• Winged/Smoky Style: More dramatic options depending on preference and suitability.

‍

6. How should I prepare for my appointment?

• Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed by your doctor) 24 hours before.
• Remove lash extensions prior to your appointment.
• Arrive with clean eyes and no makeup.
• No contact lenses.

7. What should I expect after the procedure?

Mild swelling or redness may occur for 1–2 days. Pigment will appear darker at first, then lighten as it heals. Small scabs or flaking are normal—avoid picking to ensure proper healing. No product around or on the area for a week.

‍

8. Can I wear makeup after the procedure?

Avoid eye makeup/products for at least 7–10 days during healing to prevent infection and pigment loss. Once healed, you can wear makeup as usual.

‍

9. Is permanent eyeliner safe?

Yes, when performed by a trained professional using sterile tools and high-quality pigments. We follow strict health and safety protocols to ensure your comfort and safety.
