There’s something incredibly freeing about waking up with defined eyes. No smudging, no shaky eyeliner mistakes, no wasted time in front of the mirror. The quiet beauty of embroidery gives your eyes that subtle, natural definition even when you are not wearing a stitch of makeup.
But here’s what most people don’t realise: The way your eyeliner heals depends entirely on how you care for it after the session. The results you end up with are shaped by how well you treat your skin in the days that follow.
And if you live in Singapore, you already know we have a bit of everything. It gets humid, hot, rainy, and sweaty all in one day. Add skincare products, sun exposure, and mascara habits into the mix, and it becomes even more important to be intentional about healing.
If you are not sure where to start, don’t worry. This guide will walk you through exactly what to do.
Also, if you have not booked your appointment yet, consider going with Arch Angel Brow. We take the time to walk clients through every step of the aftercare process with zero guesswork.
Right after the treatment, the colour will look more intense than you imagined. That’s normal. Your lash line might feel a little warm, maybe a bit swollen, and for some people, it even gets teary for a few hours.
Try not to stare too long in the mirror, wondering if it’s too dark. It’s not. That boldness fades.
And for now, leave your eyeliner alone. No rubbing, no testing the pigment, no “just checking.” Just let it be.
Now is when your eyes want peace and space. Avoid makeup. No micellar water. No aggressive face washing.
What you can do:
It’s a short phase, but a crucial one.
Arch Angel Brow actually gives you a small kit and tells you when to use what, so nothing’s left to guesswork.
At some point, the pigment will start peeling or flaking; it can look like it’s falling off. Try not to panic. It’s not your real colour leaving. It’s just the top layer of healing skin doing its thing.
Do not pick. I know it’s tempting. Just don’t.
No eyeliner, no mascara, no rubbing your eyes even gently. And no heaty foods that make your face sweat. Keep using your ointment and stay chill.
Once the flaking stops, your eyeliner will look softer, maybe even too soft. But give it time. The pigment is still settling, and the colour will come back more evenly.
This is when the shape and overall tone begin to show. It’s not the final look yet, but you’re close.
You can go back to your normal skincare routine now, just avoid acids and whitening products around the eyes. And still no mascara unless your artist gives the green light.
A lot of people think the first session is enough. It’s not. Eyeliner embroidery is always done in two parts.
The first creates the base. The second, about 4 to 6 weeks later, seals the result. If you skip it, your liner may fade unevenly or not last as long.
Here’s what ruins results faster than you’d expect:
You don’t need to live in fear, just be a little extra mindful.
And if you’re doing this for the first time, Arch Angel Brow makes everything simple. You won’t be left wondering what to do next – we want to guide you through it, so you can have a result like this below:
The clean, subtle lash line you want doesn’t show up overnight. It takes care. Not fancy serums or extra products — just the right balm, clean habits, and a bit of patience.
If you’re putting in the time and money for the treatment, give it the right environment to heal.
Healing well gives you results that last. Be patient with it.
And remember, the Arch Angel Brow studio doesn’t just deliver good eyeliner. We help you get through recovery with peace of mind.
