Besides adding adding instant sparkle to your eyes, the application of a powdered smudge of colour immediately above the dark lashline also softens the black-only liners. This is a very popular choice with clients of all ages. Colour/s selected are totally complimentary to your natural eye colour and therefore not restrictive in any way.

Both men and women benefit from permanent eyeliner. For our gents, we recommend a simple eyelash enhancement – which places a complimentary pigment in-between the lash root area (to give a thicker lash-line appearance) – this option delivers a subtle more defined eye contour.
For ladies, we offer the full range of eyeliner procedures – from standard to ultra-thick Latino liners – and right through to contrast colour shadows, winged liners, flicks, mucosal and French eyeliners. (most styles are featured on this page)
Delicately Winged Eyeliner
Gently Winged EyelinerWings
Beautiful from every angle!
We always pre-draw flicked our winged eyeliners – once you have visualized the template drawing, checked thickness, symmetry, length and approved the design, this liner is applied with absolute precision, finishing with a sharp flicked outer edge flick. This style suits most eye shapes, however is particularly complimentary to almond shape eyes and creates a lovely illusion of elongation for round eye shapes.
A softly flicked eyeliner adds an intriguing air of mystery to the eyes and delivers a very attractive finish.

Allergy Sufferers
Do you suffer from allergies or sensitive eyes? Permanent eyeliner may offer a lasting solution, allowing you to ditch the allergy-causing pencils.
A client who suffered tremendously with allergies – had this to say:
I have often thought of getting permanent makeup over the years, but my fear of needles and worse, the worry that I’d be stuck with something I wasn’t happy with – forever, always made me hesitate. As time went on, I found myself suffering more and more with allergies. My eyes were constantly itchy, red or watering, which caused my eyeliner to run and form smudgy globs at the corners of my eyes. This frustration, as well as a glowing recommendation from a friend who recently had her eyeliner done by Gwendoline, finally convinced me to go for it. And I am so glad that I did! The whole process was professional, efficient and, surprisingly, pain free! Gwendoline took the time to explain the full procedure, discuss the ‘look’ I was hoping for and agree on the colour. Her professional and knowledgeable demeanour helped put me at ease from the get go and being able to keep my eyes closed for the duration of the procedure meant I was better able to relax. Since getting my permanent eyeliner, I can’t believe the difference in my eyes! They look larger and better framed, but even more significant, they aren’t nearly as dry, red and itchy as they were before. My only regret is not having done it sooner! I highly recommend Gwendoline to anyone thinking about permanent makeup. Throw the pencils out and make an appointment! 🙂 Chantell
