Permanent Makeup Eyeliner

What Is Permanent Eyeliner?

Eyeliner tattoo is an advanced permanent makeup procedure that recreates the look of wearing eyeliner.

Utilizing an electric tool specially designed for cosmetic tattooing, the artist inserts semi-permanent pigments of natural origins into the skin of your eyelids, ‘permanently’ drawing on your eyeliner in the shape you desire.

The procedure is considered to be non-invasive, since it involves no actual downtime and you can carry on with your life right after it, but it does entail a few weeks of healing, as your skin needs to recover from the micro-trauma.

How Do I Prepare for the Permanent Eyeliner Treatment?

There are a few things you need to avoid before your eyeliner tattoo appointment:

Do not dye or lift your eyelashes for at least 2 days before your procedure (some artists advise as long as 2 weeks).

If you have eyelash extensions, have them removed at least 3 days before your procedure.

Inform your PMU artist if you’ve had any eye surgery or intervention in the area (Botox, filler, laser eye surgery, etc.).

Avoid taking the following for one day before your treatment: aspirin, ibuprofen, or alcohol.

Don’t drink caffeine 24 hours before the procedure – you’ll bleed more.

Wash your hair that morning – you can’t get your healing tattoo wet for the next few days.

You may bring sunglasses to wear home as your eyelids may be sensitive to light after the treatment.

Relax! It’s not actually as scary as you might think.

Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare

What Can I Expect After the Eyeliner Tattoo Procedure?

The basic aftercare instructions are:

For the next 7-10 days, if your eyes do get wet, make sure pat dry with a clean tissue. This does not mean you shouldn’t clean the area, only that you should protect the area during showers, and avoid swimming, saunas, steam baths, and activities that cause excessive sweating.

Don’t use make-up on or near the area for 7-10 days, until your skin is completely healed. You’ll need to remove the makeup, and harsh cleansers and rubbing can affect pigment retention.

Don’t touch, rub or pick any of the scabs or dry skin that you might see on your eyelids. Everyone’s skin is different, so the amount of scabbing varies.

Avoid sleeping on your face.

Don’t get any facials, peels, Botox or fillers in the treatment area for at least 4 weeks.

There is no actual downtime after the treatment, so you can carry on with your day, but don’t be surprised if you experience some swelling and redness.

Permanent Eyeliner: Your Effortless Daily Enhancement

Forget about smudged eyeliner and complicated daily applications - with our permanent eyeliner treatment, you can wake up every day with perfectly defined eyes. Our expertly trained technicians use the latest techniques and highest quality pigments to create a long-lasting look that enhances your natural beauty.

One of the most common questions we receive is about the healing schedule for permanent eyeliner. We understand that the healing process is important for achieving the best results, so let's break it down for you.

Day 1-3: Immediately after the procedure, you may experience some tenderness and mild swelling around the eyes. This is perfectly normal and will subside quickly.

Day 4-7: Over the next few days, the color of the permanent eyeliner will appear darker than the desired shade. Don't worry - this is all part of the process. As the skin heals, the pigment will begin to soften and lighten to the perfect hue.

Day 8-14: By the second week, you'll start to notice your pmu eyeliner is lighter than expected. By 4 weeks, the color will settle into a natural, enhanced look that complements your eyes and overall appearance as desired.

At Eve Beauty, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire process. Our aftercare instructions ensure that your healing process is smooth and effective, allowing you to enjoy your stunning, hassle-free eyeliner for years to come.

What Are the Risks & Side Effects of Semi Permanent Eyeliner?

Semi permanent eyeliner is a serious cosmetic procedure and therefore must be performed by a licensed, well-trained professional.

Some of the risks and potential complications that should be aware of before the treatment are:

Infection. Unsterile equipment and needles can easily pass along infections, from mild ones, to hepatitis and staph bacteria.

Allergic reaction. Even though rare, allergic reactions to PMU pigments can be very serious. That’s why you should always insist on a patch test.

Granulomas. These are nodules that may form around the substance the body perceives as foreign, in this case the pigments.

Scarring. If you are prone to developing scars, you may be at risk of keloid formation.

Removal problems. Removing PMU is a tiresome, slow process. It can take several sessions, and it can get expensive and cause the same side-effects as above.

Changing trends. Although it may seem tempting to always have the on-point winged eyeliner, consider that today’s looks might seem dated in a few years.

Does Getting an Eyeliner Tattoo Hurt?

The procedure of getting tattoo eyeliner is a non-invasive one, but the client needs to know that it’s still a form of tattooing.

The needle that breaks the skin is very thin, but the patient will most likely feel a certain sensation. This sensation, however, shouldn’t be pain per se, as a numbing ointment is applied beforehand. The feeling might be a light scratching on the skin.

If you find the needling too painful, tell your artist. They may add another layer of numbing cream.

How Long Does Permanent Eyeliner Last?

Your semi permanent eyeliner tattoo can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years, depending on your skin type, age, skincare products you use, and lifestyle.

Even though the ink will be injected into the skin, the color will eventually fade. However, since everyone’s skin is different and holds the pigment differently, it’s difficult to say precisely how long it will take for the color to fade.

Generally, it is expected to completely fade after 3 years, if not sooner, but in some cases, a certain amount of pigment will stay visible for up to 5 years.

Will I Lose Some Color During the First Week?

As is the case with all permanent makeup procedures, some of the color will fade in the first week.

You might think that the semi permanent eyeliner is too dark and dramatic right after the treatment, but it will fade a bit in the first month. So don’t panic. Chances are, it’ll look much better after 3 weeks of healing, and you’ll get the look you desired after the touch up.

Can Anyone Get Semi Permanent Eyeliner?

Just like it’s the case with any permanent makeup treatment, most people qualify as good candidates for the procedure of getting semi permanent eyeliner. However, there are certain conditions that make getting tattoo eyeliner unsafe, and thus impossible:

Diabetes

Serious diseases such as cancer, epilepsy or autoimmune disorders

Viral infections or diseases

On-going chemotherapy

Bleeding disorders

Skin conditions like Psoriasis or Rosacea in the area

Proneness to keloid scar formation

Blood thinning medication

Recently Botox injections or dermal fillers (you need to wait at least 2 weeks)

Pregnancy and nursing

Eyeliner Tattoo Touch-Ups: Are Touch-Ups Necessary?

The first pmu eyeliner touch up is necessary in most cases.

It’s done once the skin heals, 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment. It serves the purpose of adding more pigments where healing has left lighter patches, or making the eyeliner thicker or darker if that’s how you want it.

As far as additional touch ups are concerned, it’s up to you. Your eyeliner tattoo will fade over time, and if you want to refresh it, you can book a touch up whenever you feel the need to. This way, you’ll prolong the results. *Touch up price is not included in original service pricing.

Can Permanent Eyeliner Be Removed?

It is possible to remove a permanent eyeliner tattoo with laser or saline removal.

Laser removal breaks down the pigments so that they can be absorbed by the body, while saline removal works by opening up the skin, depositing a drying solution into it, and having the pigments pulled out by the scabs formed.

Both options are generally effective, but they require several sessions, which can get expensive. On top of that, not all saline removal specialists perform the treatment on eyelids, so it may be difficult to find one in your area that does.

Can I Get an Eyeliner Tattoo if I Have Eyelash Extensions or Wear Contact Lenses?

If you have eyelash extensions, remove them at least 3 days before your eyeliner tattoo appointment. If you remove the extensions just before the appointment, there may be glue left behind on the lash line, which could affect the final outcome of the tattoo eyeliner. Once the eyeliner heals, you can get lash extensions again.

If you wear contact lenses, you may take them out before the procedure if you like. However, your eyes might be a bit swollen after the treatment, so it’s better to opt for glasses for the time being.
