What is Permanent Eyeliner?

Permanent eyeliner also known as an eyeliner tattoo is a PMU (permanent makeup) treatment that involves using a specialized tattoo machine to implant pigment in the lash line under the skin, similar to tattooing. The treatment, also known as an eyeliner tattoo, can be applied in a variety of styles, including larger strong wings, light lash enhancements. This ink is permanent, but has to be touched up every three to five years.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Many people opt for a permanent eyeliner treatment because it adds definition to the lash line – which can be great for those who have lost their lashes or want a subtle enhancement. Alternatively, a bolder eyeliner look can save time for those with busy lifestyles and looks great for holidays – no more smudged eye makeup! The treatment is very popular with clients who may struggle to create symmetry in their makeup due to shaky hands or loss of vision.

• No need to wear eyeliner anymore

• Enhances your eye shape

• Lasts between two to five years before a touch-up

• A popular treatment for clients with thin lashes, hair loss, and/or alopecia to enhance the eye area.

How to Prepare For Your Eyeliner Tattoo Appointment

If permanent eyeliner is something you're considering, have a consultation with a professional technician first to weigh your options and learn more about the service. Eyeliner tattoos can be applied in a variety of styles, you can choose from extremely thin and natural-looking liner to thicker lines, and even winged eyeliner. Once you've decided on the eyeliner that will suit you best, you can move forward with your treatment. It's always recommended to bring in inspiration photos.

For natural, everyday look, I would recommend the lash line enhancement liner to everyone. If you wear makeup on a regular basis and want your eyeliner to stand out more, classic eyeliner will be a perfect match! You can always start small and add more when receiving touch-ups.

Permanent eyeliner can last between 3-5 years. This can change depending on age, lifestyle, skin type, etc. As with all PMU, it is recommended that you have a color boost every 18 months to keep your liner looking fresh.
