Eyeliner
What is permanent eyeliner?
Permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattooing procedure to enhance the appearance of the eyes by applying pigment along the lash line. This semi-permanent makeup technique can mimic the look of traditional eyeliner, making lashes appear fuller, and eliminating the need for daily eyeliner application. The results can last from one to three years, depending on the skin type and aftercare.
​
Pre-care instructions before your eyeliner appointment:
- No Lattisse or any other eyelash serums in the past 3 months

What to expect during your appointment (Appointments run about 2 hours):
- Numbing (20 minutes) I use a high strength professional lidocaine numbing cream that will effectively numb the eyelids before the procedure. *Please note during the numbing process your eyes will need to stay closed
- Eyeliner mapping (15 minutes) Using professional measuring tools and your input I will map out an eyeliner outline that is best proportioned to you and your eyes and your preferances.
- Procedure (1 hour) This is where i'll use my professional sterile equipment to implant pigment into your skin to give you the best eyeliner possible!
- Reveal and aftercare (10 minutes) This is where you see your new eyeliner and we go over aftercare and the special instructions needed to keep your permanent makeup looking and healing the best they can.
- Schedule your touchup appointment which will be 6-8 weeks later
