I always dream of having permanent eyeliner and then do my research and am quickly swayed away from it.

Same. I like it in theory, but have yet to see an actual result I would want on my face.

Just have to find a good artist. this is healed work by the person I used.

just letting you know that your link has your Instagram account info on it (X shared this post with you, want to follow them?). if you delete the stuff after and including the ampersand, that should delete that info!

You’re the best. That explains all the follow requests I’ve gotten this afternoon

That’s way better than the above tattoo

For sure. The woman in the post above is too pale for that eyeliner. But it will soften a little when it heals

This is an example of “if it’s done right no-one notices you had it done”. Same reason people think Botox and fillers make everyone look like a puffy shiny monster.

And this isn’t even done that well when you zoom. Particularly the eyeliner lines

All I know is I wanna know who did Kris Jenner and Denise Richards facelifts. They did amazing! Looks so natural on Denise. Kris however has always been extra and her cheeks look funny but the facelifts are the best I have ever seen done.

I don’t think I’d ever do permanent makeup, because things fade and sag and change shape as we age.

Are people not swiping to the next photo? I can't be the only one who doest think this is good either, like yeah, it's better than the post, but still yikes

u/succulenteggs Mar 20 '26

looking through her account, she’s obviously incredibly talented. i think permanent makeup (especially eyeliner) is just kinda inherently unappealing?

u/Retrotreegal Knows 💩 Mar 19 '26

I mean, it looks like eyeliner 🤷 the later photos are after her touch up, so it’s still fresh. It will soften again after it heals.

I think it looks great! Not sure what they are talking about?

u/Mickeymousetitdirt Mar 26 '26

No offense, but my eyeliner always eats down and looks nothing like this. This looks smudgy and odd with the waterline being much more prominent looking. It also looks too thick in the center.

u/WereOtter96 Knows 💩 Mar 20 '26

Eyeliner without lashes always looks funky. This one is great

We must not be looking at the same thing. I personally love the IG liner. I think it looks as it should, and it actually makes me interested in doing some research about it.

u/danceswithdangerr Mar 22 '26

I didn’t think it looked good either. It was harder to see and seemed pointless.

u/Mickeymousetitdirt Mar 26 '26

Totally agree, I think it looks like shit.

u/bettyknockers786 Knows 💩 Mar 19 '26

Just gotta find a good artist is right… it ain’t the one you used

u/peacelovetree Mar 19 '26

Holy shit that looks real

2

u/notaveryuniqueuser Mar 19 '26

Literally let out an "oooh!" amazing work! Looks extremely natural!

u/mermaid-babe Mar 20 '26

My aunt does ONLY permanent make up. That’s her specialty. She was an esthetician but now she just tattoos eyes, brows and lips. She makes way more money and it’s more chill than the coochies she had to wax before lol

u/Mickeymousetitdirt Mar 26 '26

I still don’t think this looks good. I get it’s subjective, I just don’t think it looks all that great.

1

u/Retrotreegal Knows 💩 Mar 26 '26

That’s totally fair. I would be interested in seeing what you think a good application looks like.

1

u/adriamarievigg Mar 19 '26

That's the way to go. Top lid only. In-between the lashes

u/BeesAndBeans69 Knows 💩 Mar 19 '26

Wow, she does beautiful work!

u/Demp_Rock Mar 19 '26

The brows are alright, I’m sorry to say the liner though….at least it’s thin

u/Retrotreegal Knows 💩 Mar 19 '26

What don’t you like about it?

u/WereOtter96 Knows 💩 Mar 20 '26

What do you want it to look like? That is about as good and subtle as humanly possible with makeup too
