Permanent eyeliner, also known as an eyeliner tattoo, is a form of cosmetic tattooing that enhances the eyes by implanting pigment along the lash line. The result is beautifully defined eyes that remain effortlessly polished—without the daily need for makeup.

At About Face, all eyeliner procedures are performed by Robin Hays, CPCP, DAAM, a board-certified expert with decades of experience in cosmetic and paramedical tattooing.

Permanent eyeliner offers timeless elegance and convenience. You’ll enjoy:

+ Smudge-proof, waterproof definition all day, every day

+ Time saved on daily makeup routines

+ A custom design suited to your eye shape and lifestyle

+ Confidence in your natural, makeup-free appearance

Whether you prefer subtle enhancement or dramatic flair, the result is always balanced, precise, and tailored to you.

Every eyeliner design begins with a personalized consultation. Robin takes time to understand your preferences, facial features, and daily routine. Together, you’ll select a design that best enhances your natural beauty—ranging from:

• Lash enhancement (tightlining): A soft, natural definition between the lashes

• Classic eyeliner: Clean, elegant lines for everyday sophistication

• Winged or cat-eye styles: A more defined, expressive, and glamorous look

Each design is carefully mapped and balanced to suit your eyes, ensuring harmony and artistry in every detail.

Your comfort and safety are our highest priorities.

• A topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort.

• Using advanced equipment and premium pigments, Robin precisely implants color along the lash line.

• The process typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the desired style.

• Afterward, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth healing process.

All procedures are performed in a sterile, clinical environment that meets or exceeds health and safety standards.

In the days following your procedure, the eyeliner may appear darker or bolder—this is normal and part of the healing process.

As your skin heals, the color will soften to a natural, beautiful finish. Most clients experience mild flaking and minimal downtime.

A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to perfect the results and ensure the ideal color and symmetry. For more information visit our Aftercare Page.

Results typically last 2–5 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain color intensity and crispness over time.

Permanent eyeliner is ideal for individuals who:

• Want long-lasting definition without daily makeup

• Have allergies or sensitivities to conventional cosmetics

• Lead active or busy lifestyles

• Have vision challenges or unsteady hands that make makeup application difficult

A consultation will confirm your suitability and ensure the procedure aligns with your skin type and health history.

Before your procedure:

• Avoid lash tinting, extensions, or growth serums for at least one week.

• Refrain from caffeine, alcohol, or blood thinners 24 hours prior.

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free eyes.

Your consultation will cover all pre-care and aftercare recommendations to ensure optimal results.

All procedures are performed in a sterile, clinical environment using single-use, disposable needles and medical-grade pigments. Our equipment and workspaces are meticulously sanitized before and after each treatment to exceed industry health and safety requirements.
