What is a lash liner treatment?

While we all love the look of eyeliner, getting a perfectly straight, even line can be challenging for even the best makeup artists. And that's before the challenge of finding a liner that doesn't budge all day (or night). Nobody wants smudgy panda eyes! But imagine being able to wake up with perfectly lined eyes, each and every day. Whether it's just your upper lids or upper and lower lids, permanent lash liner could be the answer to your prayers. While a lash liner treatment is considered a form of permanent, rather than semi-permanent makeup (a top up will be needed every 3-5 years), the idea of not having to fiddle with liquid liner, pens or kohl ever again is a prospect that many of us can appreciate. Just as when you choose to line your eyes, a consultation with Kseniia can help you to determine which type of permanent eye liner is best for you. You can choose thin, barely-there lines that simply help emphasise your eye's natural shape, or choose a perfect winged style without having to fiddle around with lines and angles yourself. You can choose a classic black line, or a softer, more natural brown. Whichever you choose, your eyes will pop, day and night. Kseniia will work with you and if you're not sure which style you would like, she would always suggest starting with a gentle, smaller line that really focuses on adding pigment between the lashes for a truly natural look. After all, you can always top this up to the winged liner of your wildest dreams if you choose to, but taking it away is a much more complex process. Her artistic skills and background mean that she understands the face's natural contours and shapes and can map out the perfect style and shade of liner to work with you.

Who is a lash liner treatment suitable for?

A lash liner treatment is perfect if you find that your eyeliner is always smudged and bleeds after a short period of wear. It can be ideal if you wish to emphasise and accentuate the natural shape of your eyes, or if you have sparse lashes that you wish to make look thicker. It's a really great, all-round treatment and something that most people can benefit from, thanks to how customisable it is. It's ideal if you are too busy to apply makeup every day, but want to still look polished and 'ready to go.'

How much does a lash liner treatment cost?

A lash liner treatment with Kseniia at her beauty studio in Gerrards Cross, including a full consultation, aftercare kit, and a follow up perfecting session after 4-6 weeks costs £395. A retouch and colour boost costs between £200-£250, depending on how long it has been since your last treatment.

Lash liner aftercare advice

No contact lenses for 72 hours after treatment. Wait at least 14 days before lash extensions, though please bear in mind that if you are coming back for a top up session, it may be worth you not having new extensions until after this has happened and any healing has taken place. Avoid wearing mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow or curling your lashes for 14 days after treatment. This is to ensure your eyes are not at risk of infection. Any swelling should be minimal. At your appointment, Kseniia will give you an aftercare pack and full instructions on how to care for your new lash liner. Please be sure to follow her directions. As with microblading, your lash liner will go through a process where it darkens for 5-7 days, before any scabs fall away. It may then look as though your lash liner is fading or patchy. This is perfectly normal and is not indicative of the final result. This will be visible within 4-6 weeks when the healing cycle is complete.

You must avoid any soap, cleanser, moisturiser or sunscreen on the treated area for at least 7 days. Avoid any hot and humid conditions, such as showers and steam rooms and saunas for 14 days after treatment. Avoid the sun for 14 days after treatment, and be sure to wear sunglasses if necessary. Try not to pick or scratch the skin and do not pull any scabs or flakes. Let them fall naturally when they are ready. If your eyes feel sore, you may use saline solution to hydrate or rinse them. Gently pat dry afterwards.
