QUESTION
Hi Petrica,
After reading your post on Permanent Makeup, I am looking forward to getting my lash enhancement done. Since I’m a bit anxious about needles around my eyes, could you please let me know how the process works and how to prepare myself?
Thanks a lot!
Love,
Josie!
ANSWER
Hi,
That’s so cool, Josie! I’m glad you’re trying it! This tattooing technique creates the illusion of darker and fuller lashes while leaving you looking natural and wide-eyed. Although it may seem uncomfortable, the results are stunning, especially for those suffering from alopecia or thin lashes. This technique involves using a high-tech tool to create lush, soft lashes. The lash line is tattooed with pigment to enhance the eyelashes. With invisible eyeliner, you can get a look of darker, fuller lashes.
Its benefits include:
Makes the eyes stand out: Dark eyelashes create the illusion of thicker lashes, which is excellent for those with light hair since it makes their eyes pop.
Maintainable: Ideal for those who don’t want to look overly made up or cannot apply eyeliner.
Fits all skin colors: Lashes enhance any skin tone or eye color.
How to prepare for a lash enhancement?
- For a better understanding of what you can expect, look at the artists’ social media profiles and ask for pictures. Also, make sure the salon is clean when choosing it.
- Your appointment day should be free of makeup, including eyeshadow and mascara. To achieve the best results, discontinue using mascara two days before your appointment to avoid sticky lashes.
- Do not use any eyelash growth serums before getting the tattoo.
- If you wear contacts, you should remove them before your appointment.
How does a lash enhancement work?
- In permanent makeup, the device used is similar to a tattoo gun but is smaller and less powerful. With the client’s consent, eyelids and lashes are wiped clean with eye wipes.
- Once it is clean, an anesthetic is applied. It is necessary to wipe off the anesthesia after 20 minutes, followed by a second wipe with wet gauze.
- Next, the artist will tattoo the lash line alternately on each eye. Vibration can irritate thin eyelids and itch them.
- Once the tattooing is complete, the eyes are wiped with eye drops, and the skin is cleaned. The procedure typically takes two hours.
Aftercare:
Cleanse your eyelids once a day with a mild cleanser and follow your artist’s instructions. Some artists recommend a healing balm during the healing process. Also, don’t forget to avoid wearing any eye makeup until it has healed.
Okay, so now you have learned everything you need to know about eyelash treatments. I am eager to hear how it goes.
Love,
Petrica!
