Eyeliner Pre-Care & After Care

Pre-Care

• Do not come to your appointment wearing contact lenses. If you need glasses to drive home, bring them to the appointment.

• Lash extensions cannot be worn during eyeliner procedures. Make sure your lash set is completely removed prior to your appointment.

• You will have a follow up appointment 4-6 weeks after the initial appointment so it is best to plan to go without lash extensions for 2 months total.

• If you use Matisse or other lash-growth serums, discontinue them four weeks prior to your appointment.

After Care 

• Post-procedure, it is expected to have watery eyes, puffiness, and redness. This is normal and may be treated with an ice pack for 5-10 min. With a clean, moist Q-Tip(not your fingers), apply a thin layer of A&D Ointment to the treated area a few times daily. Less is better. You may also use an eye cleanser or drops on the first day. Do not let the color dry out. It's OK to shower as usual- water will not affect your permanent cosmetics.

• DO NOT use mascara or any other eye makeup for three days.

• After three days, treat yourself with a new mascara tube to avoid secondary infection. Use a gentle eye makeup remover.

• As the eyes begin to heal, some flaking will occur. This flaking is normal and is to be expected. Do not pick or try to peel this skin off. When the flaking completes, you view the color from under the skin as your body creates a protective layer of skin. Most clients will see about 30-50% less color after healing is completed after the first session.

• All the fine detail work and finishing touches are done at the second session. At that time, you may wish to darken or thicken your eyeliner. I always say," The second, or follow-up visit, is when the magic happens."

• This treatment is permanent, but expect color to fade over time. Fading is dependent on your skin's age and its ability to retain color. Darker colors will last longer than the lighter ones.

• Enjoy the freedom of your new eyeliner!
