Eyeliner Tattooing.
Eyeliner Tattooing is a non-surgical treatment offered at SkinMedics Pyrmont, delivered under medical supervision. Your suitability and plan are confirmed during a consultation.
Concerns it's designed to help
Effortless daily definition
Waking up with subtly defined eyes — no daily pencil or smudging, ideal for active or busy lifestyles.
Sparse or fair lashes
A lash-line enhancement makes lashes look fuller and the eyes more defined, even without makeup.
Difficulty applying makeup
A considered option for unsteady hands or vision changes that make daily eyeliner hard to apply.
What to expect
We start by discussing the look you want, then map and colour-match it to your eyes. Pigment is applied gently along the lash line and built up gradually, with a perfecting touch-up a few weeks later once the skin has healed.

Map
Shape and colour are mapped to your features and skin tone — and approved by you before we begin.
- 2
Apply
Pigment is applied gently and built up gradually, for a soft, natural finish rather than anything harsh.
- 3
Perfect
A perfecting touch-up a few weeks later refines shape and colour once the skin has healed.
What to expect afterwards
Eyes swell more than brows and settle faster. Here is the week people actually experience.
- Day 1 Some swelling, most noticeably in the morning, and a line that looks thicker and darker than the one you agreed.
- Day 2 to 3 Swelling eases. The line may feel tight, and tiny flakes start to lift along the lash line.
- Day 4 to 7 Flaking finishes. Keep mascara and eye makeup off until we tell you the skin has closed.
- Week 4 to 6 The line settles to its healed softness and colour.
- The perfecting session About six weeks later, to refine thickness and depth once everything has healed.
A general guide — everyone heals a little differently, and your plan is always explained in your consultation.
Outcomes designed to last.
The healed result softens noticeably from day one's definition, settling over four to six weeks into a natural lash-line enhancement that typically lasts one to three years.

Frequently asked questions
How long does eyeliner tattooing last?
It's semi-permanent and typically lasts around one to three years before a refresh, depending on your skin and lifestyle.
Does it hurt?
Numbing is applied first and most people find it comfortable. The lash line is sensitive, so we work gently and check in throughout.
What is the healing time?
There may be minor swelling for a day, with healing over one to two weeks as the line softens to its final look. Gentle aftercare protects the result.
Is it safe?
It's performed by experienced artists with strict hygiene and single-use needles, in a medically supervised clinic. We assess your suitability first, and the eye area is treated with particular care.
How much does it cost?
Confirmed in your consultation, including the perfecting touch-up that's part of the process.
Will my eyes swell?
Usually a little, most obviously the morning after, and it settles within a couple of days. If you have an event, plan the appointment at least two weeks before it, not the week of.
Can I wear contact lenses?
Wear glasses to the appointment and for the rest of that day. We will tell you when lenses are comfortable again, which for most people is the following day.
