Permanent make-up of arrows: an individual approach
Recommendations of professionals for permanent makeup masters
Eyes are a very individual feature of each face and permanent makeup masters cannot have a single algorithm for working in this area. How to make sure that the result of eyelid tattooing is not only pleasing in terms of quality, but also carried out taking into account the characteristics of the client's eyes?
When starting permanent make-up of the eyelids, the master should be especially attentive and collected, because it is the eyes that often create the first impression of a person.
What makes eyes more attractive? First of all, these are components such as the shape of the eye, size, color of the eyes themselves, as well as the shade of the eyelashes. For many women, impeccable makeup is simply necessary in order for the eyes to look more expressive, and for a woman to feel confident at any moment.
With the help of permanent makeup, you can make your eyes more expressive, for which there are many tricks and techniques: filling the inter-eyelash space with pigment, the classic arrow, drawing the lower eyelid, shading and other techniques. The main task of the master during the procedure of permanent make-up of the eyelids is most often to give the eyes an almond shape, as well as to make the look more open.
All women see themselves differently, each person is individual, so there is no certain standard in this procedure. The master must start work, taking into account the shape of the client's eyes, and select the color based on the knowledge of color.
Has nature endowed your client with beautiful almond-shaped eyes and thick lashes? Then it is enough for you to make the inter-eyelash zone, slightly visually adding volume to the eyelashes. The arrows are perfect for young clients, while the arrow with shading can also correct the shape of the eye. And for clients 50+, shading is even shown, since aged eyes do not like clear breaking lines.
Client Analysis
When choosing an arrow for the next client, it is recommended to start work with an analysis of the shape of the eye.
Masters with great practice advise using a slightly thicker line of the arrow for small eyes. If the eyes are round, it is important to pay attention so that the beginning of the thickening of the arrow does not fall directly above the pupil. It is desirable that the line above the pupil be drawn as thinly as possible. Thickening should begin in the area immediately after the pupil.
If the client has deep-set eyes, the masters can offer a well-colored ciliary edge with the subsequent opportunity to form an arrow. The overhanging eyelid requires staining of the inter-ciliary zone with an exit beyond the eyelash area of the outer corner of the eye, just above the last eyelash. On the outer corner of the movable and impending eyelid, you can apply a translucent shadow with a gradation, which should be soft in color.
When constructing a sketch, masters should take into account that permanent makeup of the eyelids is worn for a long time, which is primarily due to the peculiarity of the skin in this area, and the eyelid itself is subject to age-related changes . Therefore, when starting work, it is always necessary to consider how the eyelid and future permanent makeup will change over time. It is important to remember that in the near future there may be a risk of eyelid drooping or pronounced folds appearing. You should not make a long and pronounced arrow, it is enough to extend the eyelid with a shadow.
Schemes 1-3: sketching with a classic and glamorous arrow; with a lowered corner of the eye; building a shadow with a lowered eyelid
It is necessary to use the classic and glamorous arrow very carefully, and the masters to convey to the client that the fashion for the PM is changing, and the arrow remains for a long time. It is better to use softer shadow shading techniques, which will not be worn for so long and can be easily removed with a laser if the client wants.
It is also important to conduct an analysis of the client's skin in preparation for the eyelid PM. Thus, the pronounced vascular network in the eyelid area makes the specialist work very superficially and control the reaction of the vessels in the process of skin trauma in order to notice the spreading of the pigment through the vessels in time. To prevent this undesirable phenomenon, in this case, instead of the classic arrow, you can carry out shadow shading or offer the client a thin arrow with feathering. On aging skin, any shadow techniques will look better, as the line of the arrow will break.
Difficulties in sketching
A person's face is often asymmetrical, so many masters face some difficulties when drawing a sketch of an eyelid tattoo. Since the eyes are very subject to mimic changes, there may be a variant of a more lowered one eyelid compared to the other, and folds on the eyelids can also be different.
Professionals start sketching from the century that is more lowered or has more folds. This factor is important to take into account, because, otherwise, on one eyelid the arrow will look good, and on the second it will be refracted or will be hidden by the impending eyelid. By controlling the symmetry of the height and length of the arrows, the masters must also monitor the symmetry of the entry of the arrow into the inter-ciliary edge and make this zone soft, rounded. The symmetry of the entry of the arrow into the interciliary edge is checked quite simply: you need to ask the client to look up.
In the process of work, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the sketch. If you notice visual asymmetry at the end of the procedure, then you should wait for complete healing, since the eyelid swells unevenly during the procedure - often the right arrow (if the master is sitting to the right of the couch) swells a little more and visually may look shorter and wider than the left. Further corrections are possible only on the PM correction procedure.
