Permanent eyeliner is a cosmetic tattooing technique that deposits pigment along your lash line for a defined, smudge-proof look – 24/7, no mascara needed. At New Level Beauty in Des Plaines, IL, Khrystyna Znak offers lash-enhancement liner for a subtle natural effect and classic eyeliner styles for a bolder look. Results last 2-4 years. Serving Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg, and all northwest Chicago suburbs.
Types of Permanent Eyeliner We Offer
Lash Enhancement (most popular): Subtle pigment between the lashes for the illusion of thicker, darker, more defined lashes. Completely natural-looking.
Classic Eyeliner: A defined line along the upper lash line. Customizable width from fine and natural to bolder.
Winged / Cat-Eye Liner: Classic liner with a wing from the outer corner. Timeless and wake-up-ready every day.
Is Permanent Eyeliner Safe?
Yes – when performed by a trained, certified artist using sterile equipment and professional-grade pigments. At New Level Beauty, we use single-use disposable needles, medical-grade pigments, and strict sanitation for every appointment. We work along the lash line only (never the waterline) to minimize any risk of irritation.
Your Permanent Eyeliner Appointment
Consultation: Style, line thickness, and placement discussed. You choose from design options before any pigment is applied.
Numbing: Topical anesthetic applied – the eyelid area numbs well and most clients are comfortable throughout.
Procedure: Khrystyna deposits pigment with precise, steady strokes. Both eyes completed in one session: approximately 1.5-2 hours.
Touch-Up:
Permanent Eyeliner Healing Process
Days 1-3: Eyelids may be slightly swollen, liner appears bold and dark.
Days 4-7: Mild flaking – avoid rubbing eyes or applying eye makeup.
Days 7-14: Liner softens and lightens as top skin sheds.
Weeks 2-4: Final healed liner color is visible – softer than the fresh result.
Avoid eye makeup, contact lenses, and water on the eye area for 7 days after treatment.
How Long Does Permanent Eyeliner Last?
Permanent eyeliner lasts 2-4 years. Touch-ups every 1-2 years keep lines crisp.
