Permanent makeup eyeliner is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that replaces the need to apply regular eyeliner. This treatment can be applied to top and lower eyelids in a variety of styles and is perfect for any client who wants a long-lasting and professional look that never fades. It is also great for clients who have allergies and sensitivities to traditional makeup. It also can be helpful for those with vision issues and dexterity conditions that make applying traditional eyeliner difficult.
The Benefits of Permanent Makeup Eyeliner
Most women struggle to find the right type of eyeliner to enhance their eyes without looking too harsh or overly made up. They typically have a preference for the shape and style of their liner, as well as the color.
A good artist can create a dimensional look, enhancing the lines of the eyes and making them appear brighter. It can also help to soften the appearance of light lashes, which can often be distracting to other features on the face.
There are several options for tattooing the eyes including top and bottom eyeliner, lash enhancement and a winged look. It is important to discuss the look that you want with your artist before the procedure so they can recommend the best color and style for you.
During the appointment, your artist will draw in the desired line and create the perfect shape for you. Then, the color will be placed in a way that it will mimic your natural eyeliner. Then, a small amount of ointment will be applied to your skin.
Your tattooed eyes will be slightly pink, swollen and red for a few days following the treatment. This is normal and will subside in about a week.
If you are prone to scabbing or flaking, your artist will provide specific aftercare instructions. This will include not picking or scratching at your new eyeliner and keeping it out of the sun, as this could cause further inflammation and damage to the area. You will also need to avoid water, perspiration and working out for the first 7-10 days as this can cause scabbing or bleeding.
The Color of Your Permanent Makeup Eyeliner
There are many different colors for permanent makeup eyeliner, from light to dark. The color can be a simple, smoky brown or an intense jet black that will really pop and define your eyes. It can also be a blend of several different colors to create a more unique look.
It is important to choose an artist who specializes in this type of work and is certified. This is to ensure that the artist understands how to do the procedure safely and effectively.
Before you get your first session, make sure to schedule a consultation and meet with the artist in person before you have the procedure done. This will allow you to determine if you are a candidate for the process and to ask any questions that you may have.
