Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Upper Eyeliner - Basic.

During your appointment we map and design the liner, apply topical numbing, then implant pigment along the upper lash line. The session includes the initial procedure and a complimentary perfecting touch-up five weeks later to refine shape and color.

Most clients feel mild discomfort only. We'll use topical anesthetic to minimize pain; sensations are usually described as pressure or light scratching. Aftercare may involve temporary tenderness and mild swelling, which typically resolves within a few days.

Longevity varies by skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Expect 1-3 years of subtle wear; oily skin may fade faster. We recommend color refreshers every 12-24 months to maintain crisp definition and vibrancy.

Avoid water, heavy sweating, swimming, and eye makeup for at least seven days. Apply recommended ointment, keep the area clean, and avoid sun exposure. Follow your technician's instructions closely to ensure proper healing and pigment retention.

Contraindications include pregnancy, active eye infections, recent Botox near the brow, certain skin conditions, and blood-thinning medications. A consultation and medical history review will determine your eligibility and ensure safe, personalized treatment.
