So Glad I Did my Eyebrows and Upper and Lower Eyeliner - North Carolina, NC

I purchased a living social coupon for upper eyeliner for $144. I had not yet made an appt when she had a holiday special for eyebrows for $379 so I called and made an appt. While I was there she said I should get the lash enhancement with the upper eyeliner and it is usually $200 more but she would do it for $100 more. She said I also should do my lower lids but I said no that would be out of my budget and she said she would just do it anyway if I wanted. I have since read some do the lash enhancement with the upper eyeliner all inclusive so maybe a gimmick? I do know when she was doing the eyeliner she went below my lash line and above the lash line but to me it is one solid line as you can see in my picture. She is an instructor and certifies others and had a student come in while she was doing mine and she watched. She used numbing gel for 30 min on my brows and lash lines. It did sting a tad but nothing much. Even so I was tender when she did the lash line and she had to stop several times. It is not unbearable just uncomfortable and at times ticklish. The eyebrows were a breeze, ticklish but not uncomfortable. I was mostly nervous about the color she chose and the shape. She did a terrific job with the shape and used no guide or stencil but did measure the 3 points of my eye and across. I am a very cool coloration. Ash tones naturally in my hair that I highlight. I figured she would use a taupe or ash brown but instead used a warm brown tint and said you always use the opposite on someone such as if you have warm tones you use a cool tone brown etc. She gave me 2 page instructions and a packet of petroleum jelly to use on my lids & brows. They have not yet scabbed over and may not since it is 6 days now and they look healed up. In 6 weeks she said to return for a touch up if needed so I will check in if anything changes between now and then . I was told they could fade as much as 30% or not at all.

I have been becoming more and more tempted to do the permanent liner. I'm still too scared it will somehow wind up looking bad to do it right now, so its always nice to read and see pictures of a nice result.
When she was tattooing the actual lid, did she have to kind of flip it up to get access to it, or did she just let it lay as it usually would and tattoo it?
Thanks for explaining the difference between the lash enhancement and the liner. I didn't realize that the two areas would be considered separate, I guess because when I line my eyes I always go into the lash line, and don't really know anyone who doesn't.
