All You Need to Know

Smoky eyeliner is a semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances the lash line with soft, blended lines that create a smoky, smudged effect. Unlike traditional eyeliner, which typically offers a sharp and defined line, the smoky eyeliner provides a more sultry and natural look with a soft, blended finish.

The procedure involves tattooing pigment along the upper and lower lash lines, using a soft technique to blend the color into a smudged, smoky effect. This creates the illusion of fuller lashes and a more dramatic eye without the need for daily makeup application.

Smoky eyeliner is perfect for anyone who loves bold, defined eyes with a softer, smokier finish. It's great for people who wear eyeliner daily, those with sensitive eyes, or those looking for long-lasting eyeliner that won’t smudge or fade throughout the day.

Regular eyeliner tattoos create a crisp, defined line along the lash line, while smoky eyeliner involves blending pigment into a soft, smudged line. The result is a more dramatic, sultry look that doesn’t require daily makeup application.

Before the procedure begins, a numbing cream is applied to the area to minimize any discomfort. Most clients report mild to moderate sensitivity during the procedure, but the numbing cream helps ensure that the process is relatively pain-free.

The procedure typically takes between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the desired look and how much blending is required.

Smoky eyeliner typically lasts anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Touch-ups are recommended every 12 to 18 months to maintain the smoky effect.

After the procedure, you should avoid touching or rubbing the treated area, wearing eye makeup for several days, and exposing your eyes to excessive moisture or sun. Full aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure the best healing and long-lasting results.

You should avoid wearing makeup directly on the treated area for 7 to 10 days after the procedure to allow the skin to heal properly. After that period, you can resume wearing makeup, but it’s recommended to avoid applying it to the lash line for a few weeks.

The results of the Smoky Eyeliner procedure are immediately visible, but the color will soften as the area heals. Full results are typically seen 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure once the skin has completely healed and the pigment has settled.

Yes, Smoky Eyeliner can be applied to both the upper and lower lash lines, depending on the desired look. Some clients prefer just the upper lash line for a more subtle definition, while others choose both upper and lower for a more dramatic effect.

Immediately after the procedure, the area around your eyes may be a little swollen and the eyeliner may appear darker than desired. This is normal and will subside as the area heals. The final result will be softer and more natural after healing.
