"Eyes are the window to the soul," truly said. Eyes are delicate yet hold significant power and are the most expressive features of our faces. Understandably, people want to enhance their eyes to look more prominent, youthful, and well-defined by applying a pencil line or liquid eyeliner every day. Applying eyeliner daily can be challenging and time-consuming; the process can be incredibly frustrating, from watery eyes to uneven liner and smudging eyeliner. Elora's PMU brings you the ultimate solution for all your concerns. Let's discuss more about permanent eyeliner and how it works.

What is permanent eyeliner?

Semi permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattoo procedure in which pigment is deposited along the lash line or eyelids to create a permanent eyeliner look. Shape, thickness, and style can vary according to the client's preferences. Although it is permanent, the color will gradually fade over time, and one will need to do touch-ups over the years to refresh the look; hence, it is also known as semi-permanent eyeliner.

Is permanent eyeliner safe to do?

Yes, it is a safe procedure. However, it also depends on various factors such as the expertise of the artist, the quality of the pigments used, and maintaining hygiene and safety protocols. It is advisable to do thorough research before doing any permanent makeup procedure to avoid potential risks such as allergic reactions, infections, and dissatisfaction with the results. Following pre- and post-procedures carefully to minimize such risks.

How do you prepare for an eyeliner procedure?

• Do not wear contact lenses during the procedure.
• Avoid all the blood-thinning medications.
• Do not drink alcohol and coffee 24 hours before the procedure.
• Do not wear false lashes. Discontinue the lash serum 4-6 weeks prior, as the serum causes the eyelid skin to become thinner, which can lead to a more painful procedure.

What is the downtime of eyeliner?

• No eye makeup for 3-5 days after the procedure.
• No facial products around the eye area for at least 3 days.
• Avoid excess moisture, such as swimming, sauna, and steaming, for 5 days after the treatment.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure.
• If the client experiences itchiness or matter in their eyes after the treatment or within 24 hours, it can be a corneal abrasion. In this case, they should try an eye bath and avoid touching or rubbing the eye. Corneal abrasions are pretty superficial, and they should subside within 24 hours.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure can take between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on how thick or thin the client wants it. This includes applying numbing and mapping out the perfect shape for eyeliner.

How long does the permanent eyeliner last?

The eyeliner's color typically remains vibrant for approximately 24 to 36 months. After this period, touch-up sessions are necessary to preserve both the vibrancy of color and the shape of the eyeliner.
