Reviews from clients
Hi! It healed well. I am very happy. 🙂
Hi, I am very glad the pigment stayed. It is not too strong, but it has stayed noticeably better than the first time. I am attaching photos, I am not the best photographer but I hope you can make something out.
Hi! Yes, everything healed beautifully! A very natural, light effect, which is exactly what I wanted :) Combined with a subtle eye makeup the result is simply lovely. Thank you! :)
Hi! Everything is very good, it has settled, the tone is good, I am happy :) Thank you so much!
Hello, thank you, very lovely! I did not even notice there was a little scab. In the end it is soooo beautiful :)))
I like it already, a cool little accent 🥳
Good morning 😌 Thank you, very good! Just as I wanted - natural, but it brings out the eyes 😍

Hey, I like it, in the end it is very good. After the second time it really is better. 😀
Permanent eye makeup techniques
The main colour used for eyelid micropigmentation is black. It suits women who want to bring out the eyes and make them bright and noticeable. If you want the most natural effect possible, dark brown shades can be used instead.
Several techniques are used for the eyes today. Keep in mind that most of them give a very bold result that will not suit everyone. The most popular techniques:
-
Interlash line
The pigment is applied along the lash growth line. It gives the lashes volume and thickness. This technique works for clients with deep-set eyes and/or hooded eyelids. -
Classic eyeliner
This technique creates a lasting eye makeup effect and suits women with an open eyelid. -
Shaded eyeliner
This technique suits women over 40 with an open eyelid. It visually lifts the outer corner of the eye and makes the gaze look younger. -
Smoky shading
With this technique the shading is placed in the upper corner of the eyelid.
The interlash line technique - my choice for the eye procedure
I work with the interlash line technique, which makes the lashes look thicker and the gaze more expressive. It is the only technique I offer, because its result looks natural.
Because every option above except the interlash line is fairly bold, it matters whether the eyelid is hooded, as that can distort the drawn line. Keep in mind too that the result of the other techniques only looks good at first. As the eyelid drops with age, the liner line becomes distorted where the fold sits.
How long the procedure takes
The time can vary, but count on 1 hour, which covers talking through what you want and the procedure itself.
How the procedure goes
- The client arrives for the procedure. We talk through how it will go, then fill in and sign the client form.
- The artist starts the procedure.
- The artist gives you the aftercare instructions.
- After 4-8 weeks the procedure is repeated. The artist corrects the permanent makeup (the tone and any gaps as well, if needed) to reach a flawless result.
Contraindications
In some cases the permanent makeup procedure should not be done at all. Any of the conditions listed below means the procedure cannot be carried out. In individual cases, after consulting the artist and obtaining written permission from a doctor, it may still be possible.
- Hepatitis
- Diabetes
- A tendency to form keloid scars
- Psoriasis
- Skin conditions – dermatitis, herpes, eczema, rosacea, folliculitis, furunculosis, angioedema and others
- HIV and AIDS
- Epilepsy
- Heart conditions
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Autoimmune diseases
- Haemophilia (a blood clotting disorder)
- Serious internal organ diseases
- Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Alcohol and blood-thinning medication – the area weeps more, which strongly affects the result
- Severe mental disorders
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding – the outcome cannot be predicted. After the first trimester the risk drops. Every mother has to weigh up for herself whether she needs the procedure
- Peels, dermabrasion and other traumatic cosmetic treatments. Once 40 to 60 days have passed, permanent makeup may be done with a doctor’s permission
- A high temperature - the procedure has to be moved until you have fully recovered. After a course of antibiotics, wait at least 2 weeks
- The menstrual cycle - pain is felt more keenly just before and during your period. The middle of the cycle is the best time
- A facelift – only in agreement with your doctor, once the tissue has fully recovered
- Sunburned or frostbitten skin
- A flare-up of allergies
- Chemotherapy and radiotherapy - the procedure is only possible during remission
- Conjunctivitis and other eye conditions
- Inflammation on the skin
- Menopause
- Eye surgery - at least one year must have passed
- Blepharoplasty - at least 6 months must have passed
How to prepare for the procedure to get the best result
It is very important to follow every recommendation before and after the procedure. It directly affects how the session goes and how the skin heals. For example, if you have had a peel or waxing in the treated area, the procedure itself will be painful and traumatic. And if you sunbathe afterwards or pick the crust off, it will affect how much pigment stays and the procedure may have been for nothing.
What you must do before the procedure
- In the week before the procedure, do not experiment with new face masks, creams or other products that could cause an unexpected skin reaction
- If a rash appears in the treated area, tell the artist. If it cannot be worked around, it is better to move the appointment.
- Do not drink coffee or smoke before the procedure.
What not to do after the eye (interlash line) procedure
- Do not get the pigmented area wet for the first 2 days.
- Do not scratch or rub the eyelids.
- For the first 10 days (or longer, if the crust has not come off yet) do not use makeup (mascara, eyeshadow, liner) or skincare products around the eyes.
- Do not wear contact lenses for the first 3 days.
- Avoid the sauna, the pool, hard training and anything that makes you sweat for the first 10 - 14 days.
- Do not pick the crust off - let the skin heal and recover on its own.
Aftercare instructions
- If the eyes swell, you can apply a dry cold compress (never use tea bags, cucumber slices or other kinds of compress).
- Sleep on your back so there is no pressure on the eyelids.
- Stay out of direct sunlight and away from sunbeds for at least 1 month.
How the skin heals after the procedure
Let us go through the recovery day by day, so you know what to expect and are ready for it. The skin can be considered restored 28 days after a permanent makeup procedure. The dermis heals over the first 7-10 days; the rest of the time is needed for the pigment to settle and stabilise.
Day one
Right after the procedure the line looks very sharp and bright. Slight swelling and redness can appear - that is a normal reaction. The swelling usually goes down within a couple of hours, though it is individual and may pass sooner or later.
Day two
The next day the pigment looks even brighter, and that is normal. Remember that greasy ointments and creams block the skin and stop it breathing, so put nothing on the eye area.
Days 3-7
The skin heals gradually and crusts form. If you did everything right, they are barely noticeable and look like light flaking. The treated area may start to itch. Be patient and do not scratch, so you do not injure the still thin, unprotected skin.
Days 10-14
The skin has healed but is still thin and easily injured. The flaking gradually stops. The itching has eased and the colour has become lighter. Cosmetic treatments, the sauna and the pool are still not advisable.
After 2 weeks
The dermis has recovered and you can use mascara, eyeshadow and other makeup again. The pigment is still settling at this stage, so the colour may change - it can turn richer or fade almost completely. That depends on your body; it is individual. Small flaws may appear, such as gaps, or the line may look slightly blurred. All of them are corrected at the touch-up.

Frequently asked questions
-
How much does permanent eye makeup cost?
The procedure costs €150. The touch-up costs €80.
-
Can I have a lash lift, brow lamination or lash extensions after the procedure?
A lash lift, lash extensions and brow lamination can be done 12 days after the procedure, that is two days after the crust has come off.
-
Can the eye be injured during the procedure?
If you choose a professional artist you trust, there is no reason to worry. The artist holds the eyelid so that even when you blink you cannot open the eye or disturb the process in any way. The artist also works around the eyes very precisely and gently, watching your reactions and asking how you feel.
