“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.
