However, it’s important that we take a second to slow down and carefully consider all of the possibilities when it comes to client safety! This is where pre-screening the client comes into play.Let’s break it all down!

As artists it is our job to ensure that our clients don’t have pre-existing conditions that could prevent us from doing their eyeliner (or any procedure).

Why Some Pigments Are Thicker Than Others

It is important to send a list of questions to your client  If the client passes the pre-screening, then sending them your full Medical Profile and Client Consent Forms is a good follow up. We prefer to have all these forms filled out and signed prior to the appointment.

 Li Pigments = Minimal Ingredient Philosophy

Teryn's OMG Needle® line was born from the need for shaders and mags with .25 diameter needles. After testing and receiving positive feedback from other artists, the line includes both liners and shaders made with .25 diameter needles. These needles are more refined, delivering a lot of pigment without being bulky.  

Why You Might Be Losing Retention

For outlining and detail work, both the 3rl and 5rl needles are great choices. If you're new to using a 5rs, start with a 3rs for smaller liners and lash enhancements, then transition to the 5rs for larger liners as you become more comfortable.  Retention issues are EVERYWHERE right now. And here’s the truth bomb: it's probably not your pigment line. It's your technique.
