Permanent Eyeliner With Smoky Effect - Downey, CA

I decided to get my eyeliner tattooed after having two babies and horrible allergies. I just didn't want to waste any more time getting ready every morning. Plus, every fall and spring, my eyes would get far too watery to wear any makeup unless i wanted to to like Morticia...
So after a ton of research, i decided to go with Carmen at Blooming Beauty in Downey CA. Best decision i ever made. She listened to what i wanted and made sure i was pain free the whole time. I definitely recommend her. Her room was clean and her work was remarkable. She said in order to obtain the smoky effect, I'd have to make two visits. I have to say, the second visit was actually pretty painful but that might have had to do with my period. I also had alot of swelling and redness the second time around but everything healed nicely. And she even gave me a third free touch up because the swelling may have caused some of the ink to fade. I got exactly what i wanted with Carmen. Its been a little over a year since i had it done but it still looks just as dark.

These are my results after a year. If any of you have ever had any tattoo on your body, you will know that it doesnt look as thick, fresh, or vibrant as when you first walk out of the office. My results stayed the same as after 6 weeks of healing. I try not to stay out in the sun for prolonged periods of time without sunscreen so that's helped in retaining the color. Also, my skin is fairly yellow green so that determines the final color of all my tattoos regardless. I love my results and will get a touch up eventually when i feel it's faded enough.
The pictures i included are of my results without ANY makeup. That means no foundation, no mascara, no eyeliner, no eyeshadow, not even a curled eyelash. This is what i wake up to and what i sleep in. If you notice the edges are somewhat faded, lighter, and blurry. That's exavtly the effect i asked for, somethong similar to eyeshadow on the edge of eyeliner, like a smoky eye. I love it.
