Eyeliner photos shouldn’t show puffy, red lids

The skin around the eyes is thin and reactive — permanent eyeliner causes noticeable swelling and redness on the lids. Fresh photos make it look like an allergic reaction, not a cosmetic enhancement. This is the procedure where clients worry most about what they’ll look like walking out the door.

Use a small brush to carefully paint over the lid area. Unblushed reduces the red and swollen appearance while keeping the liner definition crisp. Perfect for calming a worried client with a quick preview.
