EYELINER
Many people struggle to apply and maintain their eyeliner for various reasons. This includes people who may be visually impaired or for those with busy lifestyles that don’t have time to commit to a daily makeup routine. As such, a semi-permanent eyeliner could be the perfect solution for you. No more tricky applications, no more smudging and no removal after a long day.
Semi-permanent makeup is a process whereby medical grade pigment is implanted into the upper dermal layer of the skin, resulting in beautifully enhanced eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip liner, giving you a look that is fresh and appears professionally applied.
Using a specialist digital facial tattooing machine, working at a much lower frequency than a standard tattoo machine, pigment is placed along the lash line to create the subtle illusion of larger eyes and thicker lashes. It can even create the illusion of lashes if they are sparse or missing, ideal for conditions like alopecia or trichotillomania.
During your free consultation with experienced, award-winning, semi-permanent makeup artist, Ros, your expectations will be discussed in detail. Ros will help you identify what sort of eyeliner you want to achieve. Perhaps something that’s natural and light or you may want something more dramatic. You can choose from a lash enhancement, which is a fine line of pigment added to the top and bottom of the eye to create volume and subtle definition, or a conventional eyeliner which is thicker than a lash enhancement or perhaps a Latino flick for a more intense and dramatic look.
There are a number of colours to choose from ranging from the blackest black to more subtle shades of grey, brown and olive. Ros will talk through the most suitable colour to suit your skin tone and features.
The results can last up to 2 years and the price will include a top up within the first 3 months.Colour boosts are recommended on a yearly basis to keep your eyeliner looking fresh and fully defined.
Step 1. The consultation. Firstly, we will discuss in detail the procedure/s you wish to undergo. We treat every client individually, taking their features into consideration so the end result is totally natural and fits the facial structure and skin tone. There is no obligation to go through with the treatment following a consultation and we will never rush you into anything you are not 100% comfortable or happy with.
Step 2. The patch test. Your safety is important to us. As such, a patch test is required on the treatment area prior to the procedure being carried out. This is to assess whether you have any allergic reactions to the pigments, although this is extremely rare. The patch test is carried out during the initial consultation.
Step 3. The treatment. The treatment time varies depending on the procedure. However, the average time is approximately 2 hours. This includes the initial phase where the makeup is drawn on for you to agree the shape and colouring before commencing with the treatment. Time is dedicated to deciding on the shape and colour of your semi-permanent makeup to ensure an outcome you are happy with. We also apply a high-grade topical anesthetic prior to the treatment being carried out, as our client’s comfort is very important to us.
Step 4. Aftercare. At the end of the treatment, we will explain how to look after the treated area and you will take home aftercare instructions. You will also be given a small sample of aftercare products to use as instructed, as this will be necessary to ensure the original pigment does not fade too quickly.
Step 5. Follow up. Come back in 6 weeks for a follow up.
