What it is

Semi-permanent eyeliner, with a wing

Semi-permanent eyeliner is the closest thing to the eyeliner you would draw on yourself, except you wake up with it already done. Unlike lash line enhancement, it is meant to be seen: a defined line along the lashes that extends into a wing.

The wing is entirely yours. The style, the shape and the size are all customised to your eye shape and what you actually like wearing. If you have hooded eyes and have always been told a wing will not work for you, come and talk to me. We sketch the options together at your consultation before any pigment is used.

At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough I do semi-permanent eyeliner in a clean, clinical setting, always starting with a full consultation and a patch test 24 hours before.

Your visit

What to expect

Classic eyeliner

a sharp, clean line that defines your lash line, finished with a wing. Perfect for a natural but clearly defined look.

Shaded eyeliner

a soft, smokey effect that sits a little wider than a classic line. Great if you want a fuller lash look without doing your makeup every day.

How long it lasts

usually three to five years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and how well you care for it. A touch-up every few years keeps the colour fresh and the line sharp.

Swelling and downtime

slight swelling can happen on the first day, but it is usually minimal. The technique I use is designed to help keep swelling and bruising to a minimum, and most clients get on with their day as normal.

Consultation and patch test

the consultation is free. We talk through the details, sketch out different wing options, and if you decide to go ahead we do a patch test 24 hours before your treatment.

Aftercare

avoid makeup, mascara and lash extensions around the eyes for about seven days while it heals. After that you can go back to your normal beauty routine.

Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery.After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her.The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

I had an anti-wrinkle treatment at Helena Cosmetics and the results were amazing! My skin looks smoother, and more lifted. Elena was professional and made me feel totally at ease. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference! I highly recommend.

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.

Common questions

Semi-permanent eyeliner FAQ

Semi-permanent eyeliner is meant to be seen. It is a defined line with a wing, in the style and size you choose. Lash line enhancement is the subtle option: colour goes between the lashes only, it does not extend past the eye, and there is no wing.

Yes. The style, shape and size of the wing are all customised to your eye shape and your preference. We sketch the options together at your consultation first.

Often yes, but the shape has to be drawn carefully. This is exactly what the free consultation is for. We sketch a few options against your own eyes so you can see what works before anything is permanent.

Classic is a sharp, clean line. Shaded is softer and smokier, sitting a little wider for a fuller lash look. We talk through both at your consultation.

Usually three to five years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and aftercare. A touch-up every few years keeps it looking fresh.

Most clients describe the feeling as mildly scratchy, but very manageable overall.

Yes. A patch test is required 24 hours before all semi-permanent makeup treatments.

Yes. I can refresh or even out older semi-permanent eyeliner that has faded or gone patchy.
