Permanent eyeliner is great for the busy individual and a must for clients who are allergic to conventional makeup, wear contact lenses, have poor eyesight or have conditions that would impair proper makeup placement. Permanent eyeliner can be applied in different styles and colors to achieve various effects, from a soft, natural-looking lash enhancement to a defined line, to a shaded look, the choice is yours! Whatever look you choose, you will always look your best 24/7.

The Most Natural:

Clients that prefer a super natural look, and even male clients opt for the Eyelash Enhancement technique.  With this technique, pigment is deposited only between the lashes, adding definition and darkening the lash line providing you with the illusion of a fuller lash base

The More Trendy:

Shaded Liners are very popular overseas, especially Europe.  The look is beautiful and is somewhat of an ombre liner type of effect. It can range from a minimal to a more dramatic look.

The Most Dramatic:

Full liners and Winged liners can be equated to a liquid liner type of look. This is suitable for the client that prefers to wear everyday makeup and is set on a particular look 24/7.  From thin to thicker wings this is an old time favorite.

These procedures, like all permanent makeup procedures, require a level of skill and expertise. An unskilled or poorly trained technician can easily cause damage to your eye/ cornea.  Make sure to properly research your artist, his/her's credentials and before/after/healed work to help ensure a favorable outcome.  Unfortunately due to the popularity of this service, the industry has been saturated with 1-2 day PMU trained individuals whom have very little experience tattooing and a lot of damage is being done to clients skin. So proper research is advised with this and all PMU procedures.

The degree of discomfort during the treatment depends on several factors: anesthetics used, the client’s threshold for pain, and skill of the technician.  From a scale of 1-10, clients report initially anywhere from a 3 to 4, and once the second anesthetic is applied discomfort is reduced to very minimal.  

Now tho all procedures are permanent, they are subject to fading over time.  This technique requires touch-ups anywhere from 12-24 months apart.  Fading is client specific and there have been instances where some clients require touch-ups much sooner than others.

POST PROCEDURE AND AFTERCARE

While we strive for perfection on every procedure, results cannot be guaranteed to be perfect after the initial procedure due to the many factors affecting both integration and retention of pigments in the skin. Permanent and Reconstructive Cosmetic makeup procedures are directly affected by the skin that they are performed on.

Factors ranging from medications, sun exposure, smoking, hormones and age all contribute to fading and must be taken into account during pre and post procedure.

A finishing session must be scheduled between 6 to 8 weeks after your initial procedure to attain the best results and to keep your procedure looking its best.

Please refrain from altering the post procedure protocol advised, use only ointments and creams provided or recommended by Avarté.

AFTERCARE

• Wash eyes the first morning following the procedure with mild soap and water. Rinse well and pat dry

• After which eye area should avoid contact with water for 5-7 days

• On the following day from the date of procedure , use Q-tip to apply a tiny amount of ointment provided, once daily for 7 days. Wipe any excess with a clean Q-tip. If you can see it, you applied too much.

Please Note:

HEALING PROCESS

• Day 1: Moderate to severe swelling, it will appear as you’ve been crying, a more pronounced eye makeup look.  A sealed ice bag can be lightly applied for the first 2 days.  Do not press ice bag against eyes.
• Day 2: Swollen, usually for only a few hours after waking up, with a pronounced eye makeup look continuing.
• Day 3: Swelling decreases with a tight feeling. At this point the pigment will begin to lift away from the skin.
• Day 4:Slight itching, this is normal as the skin begins to flake.  Do not pick or scratch. Lightly pat w tissue in between if some relief needed
• Day 5: Most of the pigment has flaked off and the remaining color underneath is somewhat grayish, healing still progressing
• Day 5-10: Exfoliation has completed, final result
