EYELINER
Permanent Eyeliner & Lash Enhancement
Cosmetic eyeliner and eyelash enhancement, also known as permanent eye makeup, can bring more focus to your eye colour, enhance eye size, brighten tired looking eyes, and make you look years younger. Women who have pale lashes can use tattoo on eyeliner to create a defined look without makeup. You can choose between a defined natural look or a thicker, more dramatic and exotic look. For people who have blue or green eyes, there are a range of exotic eyeliner tattoo colours to choose from. Book an appointment today to find out what options are available.
HOW IT WORKS ?
Your artist will clean the area with an eye-approved antibacterial and then apply a numbing cream to help reduce discomfort. Then micro-droplets of coloured pigments are inserted between your lashes and under the skin using a hollow, vibrating needle, the technician will apply the pigment into the top layer of the skin. Each time the needle penetrates the skin, a droplet of pigment is released into the hole the needle makes. You will feel a slight stinging.
