Eyeliner by Impressive Brows

That depends on many factors, such as your skin, lifestyle, and how well you care of the eyeliner.  Typically you would get a 6-week touch-up then a refresh touch-up every 1-3 years because the pigment fades over time.

Expects 2 hours.

Varies from person to person.  Everybody is different.  We use numbing cream, but some people still feel a little discomfort.  Don't worry.  Almost everyone makes it through.  (Note: Eyeliner and lips are more sensitive than brows.) 

Occasionally, but usually not.  Our student training is mostly focused on eyebrows.  We can add you to a wait list if you want to do eyeliner with our students.

Black, brow, or blue.  Black is by far the most popular.  If you want brows or blue, let us know beforehand.

We don't recommend doing permanent makeup if you have a history of any allergic reactions.  Some of the ingredients in our numbing creams include Lidocaine, Tetracaine, and Epinephrine.  If you have known allergies, please let us know beforehand.  We can also do a test if needed.

Permanent makeup takes 6 weeks to heal.  After the 6 weeks of healing, if needed, you will likely need a 6-week touch-up to darken the pigment and do some fine tuning on the shape.  We cannot do touch-ups before the 6 weeks are over because your skin needs time to heal properly and the color and shape need to set.

Sometimes.  Our artists will need to take a look at your skin to determine if you qualify for winged liner.  We generally prefer to do natural looks.  Nothing bold.

Yes. You should expect to get a 6-week touch-up to darken, thicken, and fine tune the shape; then, a refresh touch-up every 1-3 years.  The pigment fades over time by design.

Permanent makeup fades over time so there is maintenance involved, but it is better than doing your makeup everyday.  Results vary widely depending on your skin type, how well your skin heals, how well your skin accepts pigment, and your lifestyle. 

Note that we typically play it safe on the first procedure with eyeliner by making it a little narrower than requested.  We do this because clients can overestimate how thick they want their eyeliner.  It is easier to make it thicker than to make it narrower.  We found this to be best practice.  It is important to understand so you are not dissatisfied after the first session.  We will thicken it at the touch-up session.

Depends.  We might be able to do a new client touch-up.  We will need to see your eyeliner and skin in person to know for certain.  See new client touch-up pricing above.

No. We don't do lashes.  We just do permanent makeup.  Brows, lips, eyeliner, scalp, and skin needling.

Yes. You need to remove lash extensions before doing permanent eyeliner.   The extensions get in the way of the tattooing and the pigment cannot be deposited deep enough so the tattoo doesn't last very long.

They might, but healing is unpredictable for permanent makeup.  It depends how your skin heals.  You should expect to get a 6-week touchup.   We can see how your skin healed then make the adjustments.

No.  We recommend you don't wear contacts when getting eyeliner.

Eyeliner may swell a little.  Usually you don't need a driver, but if would be nice to have a driver just in case (or you can always taxi/Uber).

No, for safety reasons.  Most clients don't want to go to the waterline anyway.

We recommend no sun/burns at least 1 week before and after.  Longer if possible.   Also, keep in mind that sun exposure is a determining factor in how long your brows last before needing a refresh touch-up.  If you have a lifestyle where you are out in the sun a lot, you should expect to need more touch-ups and color corrections.
