What is Soft Shaded Eyeliner?
A Delicate Alternative to Traditional Eyeliner
Soft Shaded Eyeliner, also known as Smokey Eyeliner, is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo technique that creates a subtle gradient of pigment across the lash line. Unlike traditional eyeliner tattoos with crisp lines or bold wings, this method gives a diffused, blended look — like softly smudged pencil or shadow — for a more natural and low-maintenance result.
Ideal for Everyday Elegance
This style is perfect for those who want eye definition without committing to harsh lines. It’s flattering on all eye shapes and especially suited to mature skin or sensitive eyes where traditional eyeliner makeup may smudge or fade.

Benefits of Soft Eyeliner Tattooing
Natural Definition That Lasts
The technique enhances the lash line and contours your eyes, giving the appearance of fuller lashes and softly lifted eyes, all without needing daily makeup.
Smudge-Free & Waterproof
Enjoy eyeliner that won’t run, fade, or transfer — whether you’re at the gym, on holiday, or facing a long day at work.
Customised to You
Choose from soft browns, cool taupes, or charcoal blacks to complement your natural colouring and eye shape. We tailor everything to suit your personal style and preferences.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Consultation and Design
We’ll start by discussing your goals, analysing your eye shape, and designing a look that flatters you naturally. You’ll approve the shape and shading before we begin.
Numbing and Application
A medical-grade numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Then we carefully layer pigment along the lash line using a fine, controlled device.
Aftercare Instructions
You’ll receive detailed guidance on how to care for your eyes in the days following treatment, including what to avoid and how to use the healing balm provided.
Healing & Results
Immediate Appearance
Right after your treatment, the pigment will appear darker. As your skin heals, the colour will soften by up to 40%, revealing a more natural look.
Full Healing Timeline
You’ll go through a short healing phase (around 7–10 days), during which minor flaking or tightness is normal. Final results will settle in 4–6 weeks, at which point a top-up may be scheduled if needed.
