Question 1

What are the dangers of permanent eyeliner?

Accepted Answer

As with other types of tattoos, a variety of adverse effects have been observed with permanent makeup, such as

fanning
fading
scarring
granulomatous inflammatory reactions
allergic contact dermatitis
phototoxicity
hypomelanosis
infections

Question 2

Why did my permanent eyeliner come off?

Accepted Answer

This is due to oxidation of the pigment and the redness of the skin. After three to four days, the colour will become lighter as the epidermis sloughs off and the skin heals over the pigment. During this time, the colour will disappear as the skin is opaque during this healing time.

Question 3

Does permanent eyeliner turn blue?

Accepted Answer

Often pigment turns blue if a pure black colour has been used. Black pigment should be used ONLY for pigmentation of an eyeliner. If used on eyebrows, it will turn a blue-navy shade after it heals.

Question 4

Does permanent eyeliner ever fade?

Accepted Answer

All forms of permanent makeup are technically classified as a tattoo. In other words, they involve implanting colour/pigment into your skin with a tiny needle. Permanent eyeliner isn't going to wash off with the rest of your makeup at night, but it will gradually fade away within a year or two.

Question 5

How long after the eyeliner tattoo can I wear mascara?

Accepted Answer

No makeup is to be applied for 72 hours (three days) after the procedure on the tattoo area. After any eyeliner procedure, use new mascara for the first ten days after the three days of no makeup.
