10:45am-11:45am

“Variable Eyeliner – Shapes & Shades”

Eyeliner is so much more that following a person’s lash line. A lash line is a guardrail but often is not the best or even a complimentary shape to the person’s face. After looking at thousands of before/after eyeliner photos on the web, Liza found many looked better BEFORE having eyeliner! We cannot let this be. Learn customization techniques to make every eyeliner procedure look its absolute best. Don’t be a technician whose head is in the sand thinking that if the lash line is simply followed, the liner will be fine. Set your sights higher than ‘fine’!
 

 

Liza Sims, CPCP
Liza serves the SPCP as Communications Chair on the Board of Directors. At age twenty-eight, self-employed with her own Civil Engineering firm, Liza first heard of permanent eyeliner. A doctor performed her eyeliner under anesthesia, used metal eyelid clamps that caused profuse bleeding, swelling and bruising. But, even with the dis-comfort, she was eager to have permanent eyeliner! The rest is history – Liza has been an advocate of this industry since 1987 and is a highly regarded SPCP trainer member.
