Master the Art of Winged Eyeliner

Before Picture of Mini's Eyeliner Procedure ClientBefore

Without a doubt, many of us feel especially confident when we’re rocking a winged eyeliner. The art of extending and uplifting your eyes can totally alter our look and our mood. But there’s a reason many of us don’t wear this look everyday, right? Because it’s hard to do! It takes time and dedication to create even eyeliner looks and most of us just don’t have that time every morning. Therein lies the reason in which you NEED to master the art of the eyeliner tattoo. Your clients will be lining up in droves at the promise of waking up with perfect, permanent winged eyeliner, everyday. 

Enter: Mini, the master artist from Beauté Academy  who is known for her incredible eyeliner tattoos with the best healed results. She even tattooed Tina’s eyeliner! With clientele from around the world seeking her expert artwork, along with thousands of students requesting training for this technique, Mini, Tiffany and Laura, AKA Beauté Academy, created one of the most in-depth online Eyeliner Tattoo courses the PMU world has ever seen - Fundamentals of Eyeliner Tattoo.

    As with any other permanent makeup procedures, your clients will experience mild scabbing and some swelling during the healing process. It is always a good idea to prepare your clients for the worst and educate them on what they can expect during the healing process. In the Fundamentals of Eyeliner  course, Mini and Beauté Academy dive deep into the healing process and how to prepare your client for the easiest healing process and optimum healed results.
