FAQ Permanent Eyeliner

How long does the semi permanent eyeliner last?

On average our liners last 3 to 5 years, the liner will lose more and more intensity as it ages. It is best to have it reapplied every 4 years so that your color remains beautiful in intensity.

How long does the semi permanent eyeliner treatment take?

Placing the eyeliner itself goes pretty smoothly because we really specialize in this, and really only offer dermatopigmentation or semi permanent makeup treatments. Count on the placement itself taking about 15 min per eye. You yourself will spend about 1.5 hours in the practice, because we take the time to discuss and draw everything out first. After the treatment you will also enter the relaxation area where you will get a coldpack on the eyes and all aftercare will be clearly explained to you.

Can I keep my lenses in during the semi permanent eyeliner treatment?

Soft lenses may be retained during your treatment for permanent eyeliner. Hard lenses should be removed just before treatment, but may be inserted immediately after back in.

Will I have a lot of swelling after the treatment and how long will the swelling last?

Immediately after the placement of the permanent eyeliner, you will have minimal swelling of the liner itself and your eyelids will look a little red. This will be gone by evening or the day after. You can compare the swelling to as if you have had a good cry.

Can I have false eyelashes during my permanent eyeliner treatment and how long should I wait before having new false eyelashes placed after my treatment?

No please make sure you do not have false eyelashes when you come for your treatment. Only 4 to 6 weeks after your treatment you may back false lashes (if you do not need a touch-up, otherwise wait another 4 to 6 weeks after your touch-up).

How long should I not wear makeup on the eyes after my treatment?

7 days of no makeup on the eyes, especially no mascara!

How long should I not swim or sunbathe after eyeliner treatment?

For the first week you should definitely not swim (unless with your head above water) or sunbathe. You may shower but be careful not to get the eyeliner too wet.

Also keep in mind that swimming (underwater) and sunbathing will cause your color to fade faster in the future.

Why do you see some people with gray/blue eyeliners?

In the past, tattoo inks were often used. This was especially true in the 1990s, when with the famous black stripe eyebrows and blue/gray eyeliners without a nice model.

People spoke of true permanent makeup for the purpose of replacing makeup and preferably lasting as long as possible. Fortunately, then, those days are totally soooooo passé!

Now we talk about dermatopigmentation or semi permanent makeup, with the goal of giving you more radiance without the too much effect and especially not forever.

By using the right technique and pure pure pigments especially for eyes, our liners are beautiful in color. Please note that once the intensity of the color begins to diminish after a few years, the eyeliner will also lighten and therefore start to lose its beautiful full black color.
