Semi permanent eyeliner tattoo in Hoddesdon

Semi permanent eyeliner, also known as permanent eyeliner, cosmetic tattoo eyeliner, or eyeliner micropigmentation, is a treatment that enhances the lash line by implanting pigment into the skin using a tattooing technique. Unlike traditional tattoos, this treatment is much gentler and pigments used for permanent makeup fade naturally over time. This offers a soft and natural look for your makeup.

Different styles of permanent eyeliner tattoo

• Lash line enhancement – A subtle enhancement that makes the lash line more defined and darker. This makes your lashes look fuller and eyes more defined.
• Classic fine or medium eyeliner – A thicker, defined line along the lashes, similar to a pencil eyeliner.
• Winged Eyeliner – A stylish, extended wing effect that can be added to most of fine and medium eyeliners.
• Shaded or Smoky Eyeliner – A soft, blended effect for a smudged eyeliner look.
• Bottom Eyeliner – A thinner or smudged line applied to the lower lash line.

What styles of eyeliner suit different eye shapes?

Hooded Eyes – A fine eyeliner or lash enhancement looks best, a thicker eyeliner may be hidden by the eyelid.

Round Eyes – A slightly extended fine liner can enhance the shape without making eyes look smaller.

Almond Eyes – Most eyeliner styles work well for this shape, from classic to bolder with wings.

Single eyelid or oriental eyelids – A thinner liner close to the lash line can enhance definition without overwhelming the eyes. Depending how low the lid creases in the outer corner, sometimes a small tail may look nice.

Downturned Eyes – A lifted, slightly upturned eyeliner can help balance the shape.
