Discoloration of permanent eyeliner

A known side effect of Latisse is darkening of the periocular skin but it should not affect your eyeliner tattoo.  There may be an appearance of it being darker only because the skin underneath is darker perhaps.

Usage of Latisse in presence of permanent eyeliner

Application Latisse may darken eyelid skin in small percentage of users over period of time; however, its darkening effect should be temporary once Latisse is no long applied. Thus, any darkening of permanent eyeliner would be temporary as well.

Changes in skin color with Latisse

Hi there- Latisse may cause changes in the color of the skin if applied improperly over time, and may also lead to changes in color of the iris (in green eyed individuals) if allowed to enter the eye repeatedly. There should be no reason that the product would lead to a change in the color of the tattoo pigment applied during a permanent eyeliner procedure. On the other hand, the combination of the tattoo and the skin color changes that result from mis-application may make it... more

Will Latisse cause permanent skin darkening?

Latisse can cause darkening to the upper eyelid with use.  This problem seems to be an issue with the amount of product applied.  It is only human nature to think if a little is good, more is better.  With Latisse, applying more product generally leads to more side effects not more lash.  I have not had any of our patients complain of the product effecting their permanent eyeliner but appropriate use I would suspect would prevent the possibility of this effect.... more

Can Latisse dicolor permanent eyeliner

Latisee has been known to cause some skin pigment changes that often look like permanent eyeliner.  In fact, in the early ads the company put out, you could see the darkening of the skin at the lash line along with the impressive results.  So the answer is that yes, Latisse can cause some mild pigmentation of the skin at the lashline but most patients dont mind this since it can look like eyeliner.

Latisse Discoloring the Skin

Latisse is safe to use even though you have permanent eyeliner. Any discoloration caused by Latisse, if you experience it, will reverse itself when you discontinue its use. So it's safe to give it a try!

Latisse can make your skin darker, temporarily

Latisse works by stimulating hair follicles to grow.  So when you place it on your eyelashes they get longer, thicker and fuller.  In some patients the lashes also get darker.  Latisse can also stimulate increased pigment in your skin.  The way to avoid this is to be careful to only apply the medication to the base of the lashes and use a small amount.  Some patients, even those who are careful, can get some darkening of the skin next to the lashes (the place... more
