What is Eyeliner Embroidery?

Eyeliner embroidery is a type of semi-permanent makeup that adds colour to the eye region in order to make the eyes appear thicker, darker, and more naturally defined. This technique may be done with either by a machine or by hand. In either case, stitches are placed in pre-set patterns on a client’s eyelid to give it a more complete appearance. This means that yes, it does hurt a little bit to get eyeliner embroidery because it’s basically a technician sewing on your eyelids (does Coraline ring a bell?), but you’ll have perfect eyeliner everyday for about a year.

As a result, after the technician has finished the form of the desired pattern on the client’s eyelids, they will utilise various threads to add colour to them in order to produce the desired appearance. It looks more natural than an eyeliner tattoo, and it’s actually quite easy to get eyeliner embroidery in Singapore.

Black is the most popular eyeliner colour in Asia, with the majority of Asian countries using black for a really defined look. It creates an appealing eye-catching effect and creates more depth in the eyes. If you’re feeling brave, ask if the technician has any pigments in different colours for a trendier look! But please keep in mind that it is a semi-permanent procedure, so the eyeliner will last for a long time. Maybe even longer than you originally wanted, especially if it isn’t done right, which is why we urge you only go to beauty salons that have good reviews. Eyeliner embroidery usually lasts for a year, but it could last for up to three years!

How is the Procedure Done?

Before your appointment

You should avoid using blood-thinning medicines for at least three to five days before the procedure for your own safety and wellbeing. If you’re planning any cosmetic treatments around your eyes, you should schedule them one month before your eyeliner embroidery appointment. Moreover, this treatment should be avoided if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition that affects wound healing.

Prepping and during your session

Your technician will sit you down beforehand for a consultation. Here is when you will discuss your preferences and desired look. Before beginning the process, you may ask the eyeliner therapist to draw the eyeliner for you so that you can see the precise impact, shape, and thickness.

Then, the technician will follow up by cleansing your eye area with a mild soap that should not feel irritating. Immediately tell your technician if at any point, you feel uncomfortable. A numbing cream will be applied to ensure minimal pain is felt throughout the entire procedure. The technician will then draw out the pattern of your eyeliners, consistently making sure they are balanced and aligned.

FAQ About Eyeliner Embroidery

Does the process of getting eyeliner embroidery hurt?

There’s no denying that the procedure will cause a little pain but your technician is trained to ensure it is as minimal as possible. That is why they apply a numbing cream before the procedure to reduce as much discomfort. In fact, you will probably only feel a slight sensation but there is hardly any pain during the session. However, if you do feel uncomfortable and in pain, please inform your technician right away.

How long does embroidered eyeliner last?

Embroidered eyeliner usually lasts approximately a year. However, depending on how your skin reacts to the colour, it might even last up to two or three years!

Can I remove the embroidered eyeliner if I don’t like the results?

If you want to get rid of your eyeliner embroidery, you may either use a laser or hire a professional to do it for you. Both techniques, however, can only remove the pigments partially. Lasers will also hurt more than getting the eyeliner embroidery. Therefore, before obtaining eyeliner embroidery, make sure you do your homework thoroughly, be confident of what you want, and mentally prepare yourself.

Moreover, it is important you study the technician and the beauty salon that will do your session. Ensure that they’re wearing medical gloves the entire time, and that the equipment is properly sanitised. It should look like a legit medical procedure is about to happen. It is also vital that you properly communicate what you want your eyeliner embroidery to look like beforehand. This is to avoid unsatisfactory results that may result in you wanting to remove them.

What is the proper way to care for eyeliner embroidery after?

Aftercare for eyeliner embroidery requires continuing good hygiene to ensure a full recovery. By following proper aftercare measures, you will be able to heal your new treatment area faster while protecting your skin.

Furthermore, it is important that you keep the area clean and dry as this will result in the scab being small and less obvious. After five to seven days, the film will peel on its own- but don’t go tugging at it! However, for complete healing of the area, it will take approximately four to six weeks.

Here are some aftercare tips to practice:

  • For three to five days, keep your eye area dry. You can wash your face a day after the treatment but afterwards, do keep the area dry as you can.
  • Avoid using sunscreen or whitening treatments near your eyes.
  • For three to five days, avoid using eye makeup such as eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara.
  • Avoid makeup removers that are oil-based.

Are there any side effects of eyeliner embroidery that I should be aware of?

Redness, swelling and moderate puffiness are some of the adverse effects you may encounter after your eyeliner embroidery. Despite that, these common side effects should go away in three to five days and don’t usually require further medical attention. However, if you experience an increase in pain or if you’ve developed a rash/skin infection, you should contact your technician as well as a doctor.

How much does eyeliner embroidery in Singapore cost?

In Singapore, eyeliner embroidery may cost anything from $60 to $1300. It may be tempting to choose the cheapest option but keep in mind that this is a semi-permanent treatment that can only be removed partially at an extra cost. However, before committing to a treatment, do some research on several salons and read their reviews to be sure you’re getting the right care.
