Permanent eyeliner is a strong choice if your liner smudges, transfers, fades during the day, or takes too much time to apply evenly.

Permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattoo service that places pigment along the lash line or eyeliner area to create lasting eye definition.

Eyeliner vs lash enhancement.

Lash enhancement is usually softer and placed close to the lash line for subtle fullness. Eyeliner can create a more visible lined effect, depending on your preferred style.

Can permanent eyeliner look natural?

Yes. Permanent eyeliner can be kept soft and subtle, especially when focused close to the lash line. Your style is discussed before the service begins.

How long does permanent eyeliner last?

Results vary by skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and how your skin holds pigment. Most clients need a touch-up to refine the color and shape after the initial appointment.

Is the touch-up included?

The touch-up is priced separately. Both prices are on the eyeliner page; confirm current pricing when booking, since rates are subject to change.

  • How long does permanent makeup last?

    Most work holds its shape for one to three years, softening gradually. Sun, oily skin, and skincare acids fade it faster. A yearly touch-up keeps it crisp.

  • Is permanent makeup safe?

    Permanent makeup is a cosmetic tattoo, so the questions to ask any artist are about needles, pigments, and hygiene. Ask Pomi at your consultation; nothing touches your skin before you have talked it through and agreed on the shape.

  • Are powder brows for me?

    Powder brows suit oily or mature skin and anyone who fills in their brows daily with pencil or powder. Hair strokes suit drier skin and a sparser, more natural look.

  • What is microblading?

    Fine, hair-like strokes placed into the brow for a fuller, more balanced look. Mapped to your face so the result stays soft and natural.

  • What is microblading and shading?

    Fine hair-like strokes combined with soft powder shading, for brows that look fuller, balanced and naturally defined.

  • Eyeliner vs lash enhancement

    Lash enhancement fills the gaps between lashes with no visible line. Eyeliner adds a defined line above them. Both are done in the same two-visit process.

    They are names for the same technique: a sheer wash of color through the whole lip, not a lip liner.

  • Who is a good candidate for permanent makeup?

    Someone who wants a natural look, understands the healing stages and follows aftercare. Ask before booking if you are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, prone to keloids or have active irritation.

    Thousands of tiny pigment dots that mimic shaved hair follicles, filling thinning crowns and softening hairlines.

  • Why the touch-up matters

    Skin heals unevenly, and some strokes fade more than others. The six-week touch-up refines shape and color once healing is done. It is part of the service, not an extra.
