Topical anesthetics are used prior to and during the eyeliner service, therefore, the entire process should theoretically be pretty painless. It is impossible to determine the exact level of pain one might experience even with the use of anesthetics. Peoples individual pain thresholds vary from no pain, minimally uncomfortable, to very painful. It is certain there will be some pressure from the skin securing and stretching that is crucial for proper pigment implantation. Slight stinging and some irritations from the wiping away of extra pigment on the skin
around the eye have also been noted. Some people experience a slight burning sensation if any of the anaesthetic creeps into the eye. Angela uses extreme caution and does her best to preform the service as pain free as possible whether by reapplying anesthetics or rinsing out the eyes regularly.
* it is not uncommon for people to experience a bit more sensitivity when menstruating

Angela will go over the after care routine in full detail at the close of your service. The after care instructions vary from artist to artist. It is imperative to follow the after care given to you by Angela for best results.
*Do not ware contact lenses for 48 hours post procedure.
*You may resume facial makeup right away. Please take special precautions to avoid wiping off your face makeup into the eye area until healed.
*You may resume waring eye makeup after 72 hours but you must plan to purchase new eye makeup as makeup breeds bacteria. When wiping off please avoid wiping directly into the eyeliner line.
*Red, bruised and lightly swollen upper lids are common the first morning post procedure. Sleeping with your head elevated has been know to help decrease swelling. It is highly recommend to use dry cold packs on your lids for 5-10 minutes every hour on day one to help with the swelling and bruising.
*Some people experience a bit of dry eye post procedure. Saline drops may be used sparingly to relieve dry eyes.
*You may experience pupil dilation for a few hours if numbing agents with epinephrin creeped into the eyes
*Avoid tanning for at least two weeks. (Always protect your eyes and liner from the sun.)
*Avoid heavy sweating
*Don’t allow the direct shower stream to hit your eyes
*Don’t pick or rub at the healing area.
*Do not expose the area to hot tubs, saunas, salt water, chlorine water, for two weeks.
*Slight itching is not uncommon and can be a sign of healing. Do not scratch. If you must, tap with clean finger tips to relieve.
To avoid unwanted results, you must fully understand what you are getting yourself into and choose a practitioner you feel 100% comfortable with. Review images of their healed work. Discuss your expectations and desired outcome with your artist. Realise that faces are never perfectly symmetrical and your artist is not a copy machine. Adjustments may be made during the perfecting session.
If worse comes to worse Angela is trained in Lift saline removal/lightening but this should be a last resort.
When referring to any form of make up like enhancing tattoos, it is important to understand that the term “semi-permanent” and “permanent” are commonly misconstrued. The term “semi permanent” only refers to the fact that the
pigment does not wash off daily. The color must be refreshed in a timeframe that is based on a case by case basis to look its best. There will always be some trace of pigment molecules in the skin, therefore it is in fact a “permanent” procedure.
An in person consultation is mandatory if you have had a permanent eyeliner service from another artist. Angela reserves the right to refuse service to anyone she feels is not best suited for her eyeliner service.
When pre and post care instructions are followed the risk of complications are rare however, should you suspect an infection, it is necessary for you to contact your health care provider immediately to avoid any further complications.

Angela would like to note that she has yet to see a single infection or complication from any of her services.
If you have sensitive skin or allergies to topical makeup products, gold, silver, nickel, or hair dyes you should contact Angela to set up a patch test a few days in advance of your procedure.

You will be signing stating you do not feel the need for the patch test.
