What look can I achieve with Permanent Eyeliner?

With the Permanent Eyeliner treatment, you can achieve a very subtle lash enhancement. Where a small amount of colour is implanted through your lash line. This would not be visible when your eyes are closed but will make the lashes appear fuller from the root.

Alternatively, for a slightly stronger look, you could opt for a baby eyeliner. This look would add extra definition around the eye mimicking more of a makeup look. It can be extended out into a small Latino flick or finish at the last lash. Alternatively, if you are looking for something more dramatic, you could opt for a bigger Latino with shading perhaps.

There are many options and each design would be tailored to your specific needs and requirements. Taking into consideration the shape and colour of your eyes, the skin around your eyes etc. As with all permanent makeup procedures, this procedure will not fully replace your conventional makeup, it will, however, give you a lovely fresh look to wake up with every day.

The length of time that this treatment lasts varies hugely from person to person. Although typically, it lasts around 2-3 years. Colour boost procedures may be performed every couple of years to brighten the colour.

We use anaesthetic gels to numb the area, making this treatment relatively pain free. It will, however, become tender during the appointment as the sensitive skin around the eye area is wiped during the treatment.

How will my Eyes feel after a Permanent Makeup treatment?

After the Permanent eyeliner treatment, you can expect slight swelling. In some cases eyes swell a little more than others and this can be a delayed reaction the following day. There may be slight redness around the area. These symptoms generally subside within a couple of days.

You will not be able to wear mascara for 1-week post-treatment. So it is a good idea to have your lashes tinted 1 week prior to having your treatment if you have very fair lashes.

Individual lashes will need to be removed a couple of days before having your appointment. You are advised not to have any individual lashes put back on until 2 weeks after your retouch visit.

Will I get to see the design before you start?

At the start of every treatment, the top liner is drawn on to the eye with eyeliner. This is to establish the look you wish to achieve and any limitations. Once we have both agreed on a shape and style of liner, this will be the guide that is tattooed directly over.

How long does the Permanent Eyeliner treatment take?

This treatment takes around an hour and a half for a lash enhancement and up to 2 and a half hours for a large Latino liner. This includes numbing and drawing time. There will then be a further hour and a half time slot allocated for your retouch visit.

Why will I need a retouch visit?

This treatment, as with all other permanent makeup treatments, is a 2-part process.

The first session is to design your new liner and deposit the first coat of pigment under the skin. When you leave they will look perfect. However, they can heal very light and sometimes patchy after the first session. Similar to painting a wall, after the second session your colour will really come to life.

The second treatment is to perfect the shape and colour. Working over the whole area again filling in any patches and/or perfecting the shape.

For this reason, we recommend that you allow plenty of time to have your treatment completed if you are wanting to have them done in time for any big event.

Can I have this Permanent Eyeliner whilst pregnant or breastfeeding?

This treatment can not be performed whilst pregnant or breastfeeding. It is advised to leave at least 8 weeks after pregnancy or once you have finished breastfeeding for your hormones to settle down.
