Achieve the ultra-precise ‘liquid-liner-look’ 24/7. Thicker, darker lashes and more defined eyes make a difference to your whole face, but creating this effect with ordinary makeup can be difficult and it’s easy to overdo it. An expertly applied semi-permanent eyeliner is the perfect solution, giving you professional makeup results that stay put and don’t need to be removed every night or carefully ‘matched up’ every morning. If you are sick of applying daily makeup, want to have a more precise eyeliner line, or can’t achieve the perfect eyeliner, permanent makeup may be for you.

AT A GLANCE
At Empire Clinic, we believe that the fundamental basis for a successful aesthetic procedure is an in-depth consultation with a skilled qualified practitioner to assess your needs and develop a bespoke personal treatment plan so that you achieve outstanding natural looking results.
HOW IT WORKS
Permanent eyeliner is a safe and natural-looking alternative to the expense and daily routine of applying makeup upon waking in the morning and often times throughout the day. It is a state-of-the-art technique of permanently applying makeup via intradermal micropigmentation. The treatment utilises a 100% single-use, disposable system to introduce quality semi permanent pigments to the skin. Permanent eyeliner can be applied to line both the top and bottom lids, to create a soft look, a dramatic thick line, or anything in between. Properly applied by an experienced technician, permanent makeup will be more natural and realistic in appearance as compared to conventional cosmetics.
Eyeliner – a thin to medium eyeliner with no wing, for your top lid with optional lower lash liner
Winged / Flicked Eyeliner – a thin to medium winged eyeliner on your top lid with optional lower lash liner
Dramatic Eyeliner – a medium to thick dramatic liner for your top lid with optional lower lash liner
Baby eyeliner / Eyelash Enhancement / – a very discreet dotting of pigment on your upper lash line to make lashes look thicker. Optional lower lash liner can be added
Bottom lid eyeliner only – for ladies who only routinely wear bottom liner
Once the process has been explained and you have agreed to the design, you will be required to fill in consent form and medical questionnaire and we take a copy of your ID as per current legislation. Our numbing process is as good as it gets and we only use top of the line topical anaesthetics to maximise your comfort. The permanent makeup process starts once the treated area is numb. Once your new permanent eyeliner is complete you will be given written information on aftercare and the healing process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will it look “natural”?
YES — It will look more natural than your own conventional make-up. Unless you tell somebody you’ve had it applied, they’ll never know. Empire Beauty specialises in “natural-looking” makeup and with an artistic eye will capture the natural beauty of the client.
Does it hurt?
Very little discomfort is experienced during the procedure. In fact, the great majority of clients describe the sensation as a “‘tickling” feeling. The anaesthesia used is of a superior grade and is extremely effective.
How long does a procedure take?
Including the consultation, paperwork, and numbing time, the average length of time for one procedure is approximately 1.5- 2 hours. The second application is usually l hour or less.
I have great difficulty applying my eyeliner. It usually ends up too thick or it ends up uneven. How will the permanent eyeliner look?
Truthfully, it will look sensational. A very conservative approach is used for those who are unsure of width or colour. The second application may be used as an opportunity to add more fullness or colour, if desired. Permanent make-up can be applied very evenly, precisely and smoothly.
What is the healing period like?
Swelling and redness are typically mild to moderate and most people can return to their normal activities immediately after. For approximately 7 days following the procedure, you will need to apply a thin film of ointment to the procedure site. During this healing period, you will notice the colour soften into your skin.
How many applications are needed?
Semi-permanent makeup is a 2-3 step process with most clients requiring 2 sessions for optimal results. However, many of her clients are fully satisfied with just one application. If a second application is needed, it is scheduled 4-8 weeks after the initial procedure.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Semi permanent cosmetics are very long lasting . However, over time, you will notice a gradual softening of colour occurring each year. Many women feel that this is advantageous, as they feel that their permanent makeup will age with them. “Colour boosts” are recommended yearly to those who wish to keep their permanent makeup looking as fresh as possible.
