If you’re a beauty enthusiast, you may have heard of permanent eyeliner, but perhaps you’re not sure what it is or how it works. Permanent eyeliner is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves applying eyeliner pigment with an ultrafine needle.
It is a great option for those who want to save time on their makeup routine, or for those who have trouble applying eyeliner due to vision or dexterity issues. In this beginner's guide, we will go over the basics of permanent eyeliner, including how it works, the benefits, results, maintenance, and any risks involved.
Despite it’s name, permanent eyeliner is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing pigment onto the eyelids to create the appearance of eyeliner. The pigment is inserted into the upper layers of the skin using a fine needle, which creates a natural-looking line that mimics the look of traditional eyeliner product.
The procedure can be done on both the upper and lower eyelids, and it can be customized to create a variety of looks.
Each procedure begins with a consultation with a trained and licensed esthetician or tattoo artist. During the consultation, they will discuss your desired look and any concerns you may have. They will also assess your skin type and make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure.
The procedure itself typically takes about one hour. The esthetician or tattoo artist will use a fine needle to deposit dark pigment into the upper layers of the skin. The procedure is relatively painless and can be done with a numbing cream. After the procedure, the artist will provide aftercare instructions to boost the healing process.
Permanent eyeliner offers a variety of benefits, including:
The results of permanent eyeliner are semi-permanent, which means that the pigment will fade over time. How long the results last will vary depending on factors such as your skin type and how well you take care of your eyeliner. During the healing process, it's important to follow the aftercare instructions provided, which may include avoiding water and sweating for a certain period of time, and avoiding makeup for at least a week.
To maintain the results, you may need touch-up sessions every one to two years.
As with any procedure, there are risks involved with permanent eyeliner. One of the main risks is infection. To minimize this risk, it's important to make sure you choose a reputable and licensed esthetician or tattoo artist. They should also use sterile equipment and follow proper aftercare techniques.
Additionally, there is a risk of an allergic reaction to the pigment used. Your cosmetic artist should do a patch test before the procedure to ensure that you don't have an allergic reaction.
