Enhancing Eye Shapes: Tailoring Eyeliner Embroidery to Complement Your Features

Applying eyeliner has become an indispensable step in the makeup process for many, enhancing the eyes and bringing attention to them. In fact, those seeking a more convenient solution may even opt for eyeliner embroidery, also known as eyeliner tattoo. At Lebellbrow Studio, we offer this semi-permanent procedure which involves implanting pigment along the lashline to create the appearance of naturally-applied eyeliner. If you are considering eyeliner embroidery, it is important to choose a design that complements your features and eye shape. Read on as we explore how tailored techniques can deliver precision for a stunning and harmonious result.

Understanding Eye Shapes

Different eye shapes possess unique characteristics that can be accentuated with eyeliner embroidery. For instance, almond eyes, which are thought to be the most versatile, benefit from a design that elongates and accentuates their natural symmetry. On the other hand, hooded eyes, where the lid partially covers the crease, are better suited to a thin, precise line that opens up the eye area, making them appear bigger. Rounded eyes, naturally wide and open, can achieve a more extended look with a slightly thicker line at the outer corners. Last but not least, monolid eyes, lacking a visible crease, gain depth and definition from eyeliner applied closely to the lash line, creating the illusion of dimension.  

Customised Techniques 

Skilled technicians have the experience and expertise to personalise the pigment application, making sure to highlight the natural contours of the eye for the best results. Here are some eyeliner embroidery techniques they may utilise depending on your eye shape. 

• Almond Eyes: The eyeliner follows the natural curve of your eyes and slightly extends at the outer corners to accentuate their symmetry and elegance. 
• Hooded Eyes: A fine, precise line that avoids the heavy fold, focusing instead on a lash enhancement technique to subtly widen and brighten the eye area. 
• Round Eyes: Eyeliner thickens progressively towards the outer corners, creating a cat-eye effect and a more elongated appearance. 
• Monolid Eyes: Adding depth and dimension, the eyeliner starts slightly thicker along the lash line and tapers as it moves towards the outer edges, making your eyes look more prominent. 

These customised techniques ensure that each eye shape is uniquely emphasised, perfectly aligning with individual facial features. 

Choosing the Right Style

Beyond customised techniques for different eye shapes, eyeliner also comes in a myriad of shapes and forms, each crafted to draw focus to the eyes’ most captivating features. Below are four popular eyeliner embroidery designs and the eye shapes they complement best.

• Winged Eyeliner: Features a flick that extends outward and upward at the outer corners, perfect for elongating and adding dramatic flair. Ideally suited for almond eyes to accentuate their natural shape.
• Tightlining: Involves tattooing pigment closely along the waterline and lash line, creating a subtle yet defined look. Best paired with hooded eyes, defining them without overwhelming the lid.  
• Graduated Lines: Start thin at the inner corner and gradually thicker towards the outer corner for a seamless transition and a slight cat-eye effect. Perfect for round eyes to lengthen their shape. 
• Smoky Eyeliner: Softer, smudged line that blends into the eyelid, creating a sultry and diffused look. Complements monolid eyes by adding depth and dimension.

Balancing Features

Eyeliner embroidery does not just enhance the eyes, but can also correct asymmetries and proportionately adjust their appearance. Whether it is subtly elongating almond-shaped eyes, adding depth to hooded eyes, creating definition for round eyes or simulating a crease for monolid eyes, eyeliner tattoos ensure that each feature contributes to the overall balance and symmetry of the face. This tailored approach complements facial proportions, resulting in a consistent and pleasing aesthetic.

Matching specific eyeliner styles to individual eye shapes plays an integral role in not just accentuating the eyes, but improving facial aesthetics as well. If you are still uncertain about the various designs, consulting a technician is a great first step towards achieving your desired goal.
