Semi-permanent Make Up Eye Liner Course

Add Semi-Permanent Eyeliner To What You Offer

Semi-permanent eyeliner places pigment into the lash line, so a client wakes up with her liner already done. It is a treatment clients come back for, and it sits naturally alongside brow and lash work on a treatment menu. This course takes you from the anatomy of the eye through to aftercare.

You study online at your own pace, with video tutorials and eBooks covering the theory. You practise on your own models and submit photographs of that work for your tutor to assess. You get written feedback, and if something needs improving you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.

What You’ll Be Able To Do

• Understand the anatomy of the eye and why it matters for safe, accurate work.
• Consult properly before treatment — assessing whether a client is suitable and giving clear pre-treatment advice.
• Handle your equipment and pigments and work through the treatment technique itself.
• Work to professional hygiene and safety standards, including the legislation that applies to the treatment.
• Advise on aftercare so healing goes well and the result lasts.

What To Learn Alongside Semi-Permanent Eyeliner

Semi-permanent eyeliner is one of four semi-permanent make up treatments we train in, and it is usually offered alongside brow work. Technicians commonly pair it with ombre and powder brows or microblading, and add semi-permanent lip liner so a client can have her brows, eyes and lips done by the same person.

What You’ll Need To Practise

You can use your own equipment and pigments, or buy our Semi Permanent Makeup Kit if you would rather have everything supplied in one go.

Eye Liner Course FAQs

How long does it take?

There are thirty-seven units across five modules, and four client case studies to complete. The eyeliner module itself is the most compact of our semi-permanent treatments at three units, so most of the study is the shared foundation — and it is arranging the four models that sets the pace. Most students finish within a few weeks to a few months.

How is the course delivered?

Everything is online. The eleven-unit Semi-Permanent Make Up Foundation module covers the shared groundwork — skin, wound healing, colour theory, needle configurations and anaesthetics — then the eyeliner module starts with the anatomy of the eye before pre-procedure advice and the procedure itself. Each unit has video tutorials and an eBook.

Who do I practise on?

You practise on synthetic skins first, then arrange four of your own models. Working this close to the eye means most students spend longer on skins before their first model than they would for a brow treatment.

How is my practical work assessed?

You submit photographs of your practice and of four client treatments for your tutor to assess, with written feedback. Eyeliner is judged largely on how clean and even the line is and how well it sits against the lash line. If anything needs improving you can resubmit as many times as you need, at no extra cost.

How long does the treatment last on a client?

Semi-permanent eyeliner lasts up to three years, depending on the client’s skin and how they care for it.

Do I have to buy the kit?

No. You can use your own machine, needles and pigments. The Semi Permanent Makeup Kit is there if you would prefer everything supplied in one go.

What support do I get?

Your tutor marks the case study photographs and tells you specifically what to change — on eyeliner that is usually line thickness and keeping it even from inner to outer corner. You also get access to our private student group.

Is this the same as an eyeliner tattoo?

It is a form of cosmetic tattooing. The pigment is worked into the upper layers of the skin rather than the deeper layer a body tattoo reaches, so it softens over time. Clients may ask for “eyeliner tattoo”, “lash line enhancement” or “permanent eyeliner”.

Do I need to travel anywhere?

No. The theory and video tutorials are studied from home, you work on your own skins and models wherever you are, and the case study photographs are submitted online.

Does the treatment hurt, and will I learn about numbing?

The eye area is sensitive and how a client experiences it varies. Anaesthetics is a dedicated unit in the Semi-Permanent Make Up Foundation module — what can be used, when, and the safety considerations — so you can advise a client properly beforehand.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. You can spread the cost over three interest-free payments at the checkout.
