Eyebrow, eyeliner and lip tattooing by Lisa Eagles, a certified artist working from her studio in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast.
Every brow starts as a map. Lines from the side of the nose set where it begins, arches and ends, so the shape suits your face before any pigment goes in.
More about brows
Lisa works only on brows, eyeliner and lips, and every appointment starts with a consultation and a mapped design.
Hair strokes, powder or a mix of both
Small changes in brow structure alter the balance of the whole face. Lisa looks at your natural growth, skin type, symmetry and tone, maps a shape, then recommends the technique that suits it.
Fine hair-like strokes placed by machine, for brows that look like natural hair.
From a fine lash line to a defined wing
The lash line is one of the most precise areas of the face. Lisa reviews eye shape, lid space, skin and how you wear make-up before designing the line.
Pigment placed within the lash line to define the base of the lashes.
Defined edge, soft blend or full colour
Lip borders and natural colour change over time, so the outline is mapped and the shade is matched to your own tone before any colour goes in.

Before you book
Lisa began in the cosmetic field working alongside a Gold Coast plastic surgeon, which is where cosmetic tattoo caught her interest.
She trained in cosmetic tattoo techniques in Australia and keeps training with educators here and overseas, updating her skills as techniques and application methods change.
Her work covers nano realism hair strokes, feather touch microblading, powder and combination brows, eyeliner enhancement, designer eyeliner and lip tattoo.
On the day, she ensured I was comfortable with everything, talked me through every step and was OBSESSIVE over the colour choices and mapping of my brows.

Cosmetic tattoo is semi-permanent. How long it lasts depends on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and the pigment chosen. Colour fades gradually, most treatments include a follow-up visit, and many people book a refresh over time.
It varies from person to person. A topical numbing product is applied before and during the procedure. Most people describe it as light scratching, vibration or pressure.
No alcohol, coffee or non-prescribed blood thinners for 48 hours before, no tanning or long sun exposure the week before, and no retinol on the area. You'll get the full preparation guide at your consultation.
Eyeliner enhancement places pigment within the lash line to define the base of the lashes. Designer eyeliner extends above the lash line to create a visible shape. The choice depends on your eye shape, the thickness you want and how you like to wear it.
Lip procedures can trigger an outbreak in some people, so if you are prone to cold sores, seek medical advice before your appointment. Lisa will talk this through with you at your consultation.
Colour always looks darker straight after treatment, and mild redness, swelling or flaking can follow. It settles as the skin heals, and a follow-up visit six to eight weeks later lets Lisa refine the result.
Tell Lisa what you have in mind and she'll come back to you with a time. If you reach voicemail, leave your name and number.
