Placing permanent eyeliner within the eyelash line and slightly above it accentuates the eyes natural shape. It gives the appearance of a lift and makes the eye appear more rested. Choosing a pigment color found in the eye draws the natural color out as well; in this case a black-brown was used. What is important to note is that this photo is an immediately after photo. Notice there is no bruising, no redness, and little puffiness. In the few days that follow, the puffiness that is expected would be similar to as if you'd cried for 30 minutes.
It is said that the eyes are the window to the soul. This procedure seems to be a staple in our business because once it wears off, we look tired or worn down even if we're not. So be certain to maintain your look with touch-ups! If you don't already have eyeliner, delay no further! A fresher you is only 45 minutes away!

~Ask Kari....
Q: How do I choose the right makeup artist?
A: It is recommended that you do your due diligence to choose a technician. Make an appointment for a consultation with the perspective tech and you interview them. Insist on looking at their work portfolio not commercial photos. Ask to see proof of their malpractice insurance. Verify the physician sponsor. Check the status of their certification by visiting www.spcp.org or www.micropigmentation.org. Ask for physician references. If you are considering having your eyebrow or lips done, make certain the technician draws the design on first to your satisfaction, prior to implanting the pigment. Never schedule a procedure during your menstrual cycle.
Educate yourself... lack of knowledge can be costly! |
