No pros w/my experience, cons can b read below.

I did it 2 save time & look better 24/7....now look worst!! Don't go by pic ad that she puts in local paper, she's not going 2 print pics of people she screwed up!! Go 2 large co. not somebody who basically moves from here 2 there, make sure they r a reputable/stable place!

I wanted to do black & she told me I didn't want 2 do that, so I went w/a dark blue, she went into the corner of my eyes 2 far & to thick & then it bled really bad in the lower right corner of my eye, she tried 2 fix & couldn't, I really don't know what someone else can do diff, I had checked around 4 @ least 2 yrs. & she had pic that looked good, I'm sure she doesn't publish bad pics such as mine or no one would go 2 her, anyway there is alot of things I would do diff. such as get consult & then go back, don't do both in same day, go w/color that u always wear, no matter what they say, only do 1 set of lids @ a time, I would do upper, because lower screw ups r far more noticeable, don't pay w/cash so u have proof, do not go 2 the corner of your eye, she also kind of went a tad bit on the inside, which is another issue, make sure she is listening 2 what u say & if u have any red flags @ all stop right there, this is permanent & every time a person is talking 2 u they r looking @ your eyes, this is jst 2 name a few!!!

What kind of cover up will work to cover up my lower corner of my permanent eyeliner that bled, it is a dark bluish, it looks as if my makeup is always smeared & none of my cover ups will work??? Also if I ever have the money to fix it right, can it be fixed & how do I know where to go & whom I can trust 2 do it right????

Hi there. I'm very sorry about your bad experience. If you would like to contact me, I can help you find someone that will be able to do a correction for you. It sounds like you'll need a salt removal (a procedure which should only be done by a trained and qualified technician) and a new color. I wonder if you wouldn't mind sending me a picture so I can reach out to the practicioners in your area that might be able to help. Also, what other state are you close to? You mmight have to travel a bit, but it'll be worth it for an awesome end result. Warm Regards, Dorrie Buccafusca

Hi Dorrie, Sooooo sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you!!!! Thank you soooo much for the info....I am sending a pic of the worst part, however it doesn't really show as well as in person.....I've bought coverup that was suppose to cover tattoos, but it didn't work, the only way I've found to be able to go out in public & look a little better is to take white eye shawdow & put under my eyes & it still shows through & of course makes my 1 eye look uneven no matter what I do.....I hope you can head me in the right direction with a reputable company that can help......I am very concerned whom I will let try to fix this, because I had visited 3 places in all & looked @ pics @ 2 of the places that had photos & the girl that did this had the best pics.....of course, now I realize that they aren't going to put there "screw ups" for potential customers to see....she tried to fix, but couldn't & then was going to try again & I wouldn't let her, needless to say I now regret ever going to her & due to the money that I spent I have to be concerned about total costs to fix this & do it the way I wanted, if that can even be accomplished now, all 4 lines really need fixed, but my most concern is my lower right eye. I think it is apprx. 80 miles to the Illinois border. I really appreciate all your help!!!!! Thanks again, Brenda I was just about to send reply along w/photo, however I didn't see how I could send photo, would you please let me know how I can do that...thx!

Dorrie, I was able to send pic as my profile pic, however it really doesn't show that magnitude of it @ all....I suppose because of the lighting it appears so much lighter, also without seeing both eyes I'm sure that also makes a difference as well....whenever I look in the mirror it always jumps out because both eyes look different.... thx again for taking the time to help!!!

Hi there...Would you mind emailing me privately at info@permanentmakeupstudios.com and give me the name of the person you originally saw and enyone else you might have consulted with. Also, let me know how far you are willing to travel. There are some very wonderful, highly experienced techs in Illinois, but I'd imagine you might have to travel 3+ hours. Also, can you email me a picture of both eyes so I can foward them to these practicioners? The one on your profile pic is relly tiny. Thanks!
