Permanent Eyeliner Cape Town | NDI Aesthetics
At NDI Aesthetics in Cape Town, we specialise in customised eyeliner tattooing, including subtle lash enhancement, soft ombre shading, and more defined liner styles — all designed to enhance your eyes without daily makeup.
Types of Permanent Eyeliner Treatments
1. 👁️ Lash Enhancement Liner (Natural Definition)
Lash enhancement is the most subtle form of permanent eyeliner.
Instead of a visible “line”, pigment is placed between the lashes, creating the illusion of:
Thicker lash density
Naturally defined eyes
No visible makeup look
Best for:
Clients wanting a very natural result
Mature clients or first-time PMU users
Professionals who prefer minimal makeup
👉 This is the most undetectable eyeliner technique available.
2. ✏️ Classic / Defined Eyeliner
This technique creates a soft but visible eyeliner line along the upper lash line.
Results:
More defined eye shape
Slight makeup effect without daily application
Can be subtle or slightly bolder depending on preference
Best for:
Clients who normally wear eyeliner daily
Those wanting a consistent “made-up” look
Enhancing eye symmetry and shape
At NDI Aesthetics, we ensure the line is soft-edged, never harsh or overly graphic, so it heals beautifully and ages well.
3. 🌫️ Ombre / Soft Shaded Eyeliner
Ombre eyeliner is a soft gradient shading technique, darker at the lash line and diffusing outward.
Results:
Smoky, makeup-style finish
Softly blended edge (no harsh lines)
More depth and dimension than classic liner
Best for:
Clients who love a makeup look without daily effort
Those wanting a more glamorous finish
Enhancing eye shape with softness and depth

Aftercare Instructions for your Eyeliner
Day 1-3
The area will appear too dark & too big. This is due to the scab formation.
All colours scab 30% darker & thicker. You will have 30% fading.
DAY 1 ONLY
Every 90 minutes. Gently clean your eyes with a cotton pad, dampened with warm water. Gently circle on the eyes until clean skin is felt. After rinsing, apply a thin layer of our aftercare ointment .
Apply a thin layer of the aftercare ointment to the eyes as many times as needed until the scabs come off naturally.
Wash your face as normal, but around the treated area – avoid using chemicals or soap on the area.
Pat dry.
NO rubbing.
The less you agitate the area, the better the result will be.
Make-up can be applied over the area to soften the initial appearance, but remove with vaseline for day 1-3. Always use a clean applicator to apply make up.
Day 3-5
The scab will start to detach.
The area will look patchy, uneven in colour and very light – this is normal.
The pigment was implanted under six layers of skin and can take up to six/seven weeks to surface and become solid and even.
Your colour could even vanish completely before it reappears.
Itching is normal as new cells are growing. Do not pick at scabs as this will cause excessive fading.
Fever blisters can also cause fading.
Day 10 onwards
You should start to see a beautiful result appearing.
