Understanding the Three Eyeliner Styles: Lash Enhancement, Classic Winged Eyeliner, and Soft Shaded Eyeliner

Why Get Permanent Eyeliner

Our clients opt for permanent makeup eyeliner primarily for: convenience and consistency in their daily routine.

You get:

1. A consistently polished look without the daily effort. This makes it perfect for busy professionals.
2. A smudge-free appearance regardless of activities like swimming or a gym workouts.
3. Extra time each morning, because you wake up with your eyeliner done. You don’t need to apply eyeliner every day.

Permanent eyeliner is particularly beneficial for those with unsteady hands, vision issues, or allergies to conventional makeup.

Breaking Down the Three Different Style of Permanent Eyeliner

Eyeliner Style #1: Lash Enhancement: A subtle, natural, almost invisible look

Lash Enhancement is the most understated procedure. It makes your eyelashes appear fuller and my defined by “filling in gaps between your lashes,”.

It’s almost invisible because we only place the pigment along your lash line. We try to avoid putting any pigment on the eyelid itself.

One more important detail regarding Lash Enhancement

As mentioned, the key to lash enhancement is its subtlety. It’s not just about darkening the lash line but also about creating an illusion of density and depth.

We do add a small flick at the end of your lash line (not to be mistaken for a wing). This is REQUIRED so that we avoid making your eyes look smaller or sad.

Important: When choosing a permanent makeup artist, make sure your artist understands the flick at the end. Otherwise, you could end up with eyes that look small or sad.

This flick is a delicate touch that enhances the feminine allure without being overt.

Eyeliner Style #2: Classic Winged Eyeliner: Bold and Beautiful

If you like a more visible eyeliner, Classic Winged Eyeliner is what you probably want.

Classic Winged eyeliner is more visible than Lash Enhancement.

To create this style we start with lash enhancement, but we add extra pigment on the eyelid so that the eyeliner is more visible.

Crafting the Perfect Wing

Classic Winged Eyeliner has the iconic wing.

This wing is crucial because it keeps the balance and beauty of your eyes. Without the wing, your eyeliner will appear overpowering.

Important: When choosing a permanent makeup artist, make sure they understand the importance of the wing! Classic eyeliner without the wing will make your eyes look puffy.

The wing accentuates your eyes’ natural shape and adds grace and femininity. It is very important. That is why we will never do your classic eyeliner without the wing!

Eyeliner Style #3: Soft Shaded Eyeliner: The Most Dramatic

Soft Shaded Eyeliner combines Lash Enhancement, Classic Winged Eyeliner, AND SHADING.

Soft Shaded eyeliner is the eyeliner style for those who want gorgeous, dramatic eyes.

The Elegance of Shading

Adding shading gives you a soft makeup effect. It is a sophisticated choice that elevates the classic wing to a more dramatic and intense level.

In Soft Shaded Eyeliner, the shading is applied above your Classic Winged Eyeliner.

We create this look in three steps.

Step #1: First we do the Lash Enhancement Step #2: Then we add pigment to the eyelid to create the Classic Winged Eyeliner effect Step #3: We add the shading

Shading adds depth and dimension, giving a smoked eyeliner look.

Conclusion: Choosing Your Style

For your permanent eyeliner, you want a style that you will feel comfortable with every day.

In summary:

1. Choose “Lash Enhancement” if you want a very subtle, almost invisible look
2. Choose “Classic Winged Eyeliner” if you want a more visible eyeliner
3. Choose “Soft Shaded Eyeliner” if you want the dramatic, polished look of full powdery makeup
