MicroArt Eyeliner FAQ’s
The answers to these questions apply for MicroArt only. MicroArt is proprietary, unique, and unlike any other permanent or semi-permanent cosmetic treatment in the market today. It was scientifically developed to look natural — and avoid the many unpleasant or dangerous side effects all too common with other forms of permanent makeup or microblading. (50% of MicroArt clients are repairing bad permanent makeup done elsewhere)
STEP 1: The Design & Color Choice
Your technician will work with you to help choose the most natural looking color and design.
STEP 2: Pigmentation
MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the dermal layers of the skin depositing a mineral-based pigment into the skin. A fine line is applied in between the lashes, creating a thicker lash line.
STEP 3: The Touch Up
2 weeks after your MicroArt Semi Permanent Makeup procedure, you will return for a touch-up appointment to perfect your MicroArt. This touch-up appointment is included in your price.

No, your eyes are closed during the entire procedure, although there are frequent short breaks of a minute or two throughout the procedure so you can relax. These breaks also enable the technician to precisely calibrate the application for how it looks with your eyes open. The eyeliner procedure is safe, with a 100% safety record with thousands of satisfied MicroArt clients treated.
Drawing upon techniques from similar surgical and related procedures, experts have refined a technique specifically for MicroArt. The technician will work slowly and carefully with a stable grip on a small section of skin that immobilizes it so cannot move (and you will get many short breaks).
New clients are sometimes concerned that the needle could go into the eye. This can never happen with MicroArt due to the equipment, the technique – and the fact that MicroArt technician undergo several months of full-time training and practice before they are certified to treat patients unsupervised (unlike “permanent makeup artists” who receive several hours to a few days of training, much of it online, before doing eyeliners.
Most clients’ eyes will twitch during the procedure, this is normal.
