What is Permanent Eyeliner?
Permanent eyeliner is a permanent make-up (micropigmentation) process applied to the eyelids and used as part of eye make-up. This method replaces the traditional eyeliner application, eliminating the need for make-up to be wiped, smudged or reapplied daily. Permanent eyeliner is a popular option, especially for people who do not want to spend time on make-up or who are looking for long-term make-up solutions.
How to Apply?
Consultancy and Planning: The first step is to have a preliminary consultation with the practitioner. At this stage, details such as the client’s expectations, the thickness, colour and shape of the eyeliner are discussed. Also, a patch test can be performed to prevent allergic reactions.
Anaesthesia: To ensure comfort during the procedure, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the eye area. This numbs the area and minimises pain.
Pigment Application: Using a sterilised micropigmentation device, the practitioner injects pigments for eyeliner of a predetermined style and thickness into the upper layers of the skin. The device accommodates a fine needle or a series of needles, and these needles place the pigment under the skin.
Recovery Process: After the procedure is complete, the eye area may be slightly swollen and red. This is a normal reaction and subsides within a few days. The practitioner will provide care instructions to support the healing process.
Although permanent eyeliner application is generally considered safe, like any cosmetic procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. It is important to be aware of these risks and to make a careful assessment before having the procedure done.
Permanent eyeliner has many benefits:
- Time Saving
Saves time from your daily make-up routine. Reduces the time spent applying make-up in the morning.
- Always Perfect Look
You have the perfect eyeliner even when you play sports, wash your face or swim. You will maintain your perfect look all day long without problems such as dispersion, erasing or flowing.
- Long Lasting Solution
Permanent make-up can last for several years. This reduces the need to constantly purchase and apply make-up materials.
- Improvement of Eye Shape
With a professional application, you can make your eyes look bigger and more attractive and improve your eye shape. It can also offer a corrective solution for those who have symmetry problems in their eyelids.
- Suitable for Sensitive Skin
It is an ideal solution for those who are allergic to traditional make-up materials or have difficulty applying make-up due to their sensitive skin. Permanent eyeliner eliminates the daily use of make-up products that can cause allergic reactions on the skin.
- Convenience for those who have difficulty in applying eye make-up
It is a practical solution for people with shaky hands, vision problems or those who have difficulty drawing a perfect eyeliner line.
- Reducing Money Spent on Make-up
Permanent make-up application can reduce the money spent on make-up materials in the long term. It minimises the need for traditional eyeliner and other make-up products.
Precautions and Considerations
It should be ensured that the person who will apply permanent eyeliner is experienced.
An allergy test should be requested to find out whether there is an allergic reaction to pigments or other materials to be used in the application.
Care and recovery instructions given after the application must be followed.
The need for retouching should be taken into consideration for fading or colour changes over time.
