Who Should Book Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington, MA, and Who Should Not?
Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington, MA suits clients who already wear a smokey eye look and want it permanently, without redoing shadow every morning. Anyone unsure about a bolder look should start with Top Eyeliner and add shading later instead. It is not for anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or currently using isotretinoin.
- Good fit: clients who already wear a smokey eye daily and want it permanently, without reshadowing
- Unsure? A smokey effect is bolder and less reversible than a fine line. Start with Top Eyeliner and add shading later
- Not a fit: anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18
- Not yet: isotretinoin, blood thinners, autoimmune, or keloid history. See the contraindications guide
- Contact lenses come out for the appointment; the studio says how long to leave them out after
- Active eye infection or recent eye surgery: get clearance from an eye doctor first

The perfecting session follows 6 to 8 weeks later, at no extra charge.
- Consultation and health-history intake, including contact lens removal

- Written aftercare instructions to take home
- Perfecting session, 6 to 8 weeks later, included in the $400
Why Book Smokey Eyeliner at the Wilmington, MA Studio Specifically?

What Backs the Artist Performing Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington?
Adriana Souza Santos, the Master Permanent Makeup Artist performing smokey eyeliner at the Wilmington studio, has completed more than 5,000 procedures and trained more than 300 students over a 20-plus year career, holds an AAM Diamond Certified Trainer credential, and consults in both English and Portuguese. A second licensed artist, Livian Camargo Gomes, also performs procedures at the Wilmington studio.
Is Smokey Eyeliner Too Bold a Commitment, and Is an MRI a Concern?
The honest objection to smokey eyeliner is real: a soft smokey effect is a bolder, less reversible aesthetic commitment than a fine line. Anyone unsure should start with Top Eyeliner and add a shading pass later, rather than the other way around, since removing shading is harder than adding it.
The American Academy of Dermatology documents that eyeliner pigment can rarely react during an MRI : burning, tingling, or swelling, and advises telling the technician beforehand; see the aftercare guide.
Frequently Asked Questions About Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington, MA
Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington, MA is performed at 211 Lowell Street, Suite F, Wilmington, MA 01887, reached at (781) 853-8063. The studio is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed Sunday. A different address and phone number than the Salem, NH studio.
Smokey Eyeliner in Wilmington, MA costs $400, and that price already includes the perfecting session 6 to 8 weeks after the procedure. A yearly touch-up, from $300, follows roughly 12 months later. Cherry offers 4 interest-free payments or a longer plan; approval is not guaranteed.
Top Eyeliner is a defined line only, with intensity chosen at mapping. Smokey Eyeliner starts with that same defined line, then adds a soft shading pass blended upward and outward for a permanent smokey-eye effect. The shading step is what makes Smokey Eyeliner cost more and take longer at the chair.
Shading is a bigger commitment than a fine line, since blended pigment is harder to lighten than a clean line. Clients unsure about a bolder look are encouraged to start with Top Eyeliner and add a shading pass in a later session, rather than booking the full smokey effect first.
Smokey Eyeliner suits clients who already wear a smokey eye look regularly and want it without redoing eyeshadow every morning. It is not the place to start if you are unsure about a bolder, less reversible look, Top Eyeliner with shading added later, is the lower-commitment starting point.
Yes. Contact lenses come out for the smokey eyeliner appointment; the studio says how long to leave them out after. Separately, the AAD documents that eyeliner pigment can rarely react during an MRI with burning, tingling, or swelling; tell the technician beforehand and ask them to stop the scan.
Yes. The Wilmington studio offers payment plans for the $400 smokey eyeliner price, shading pass included, through Cherry Technologies, an independent financing provider. Options include 4 interest-free payments or a longer plan up to 24 months; approval is not guaranteed; Cherry sets the terms.
No. Smokey Eyeliner is its own $400 technique with soft shading blended into the liner, and it is not part of the Eyeliner Combo. The Combo pairs plain Top Eyeliner and Bottom Eyeliner for $500, $100 less than the $600 those two cost booked separately, at the Wilmington studio.
Yes. Cherry offers 4 interest-free payments, or a longer plan of up to 24 months with interest. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, so it does not affect your credit score. Cherry is an independent financing provider: it sets approval and rates, not the studio. See how the payment plan works.
The perfecting session exists for exactly that. It is scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after the first appointment, once the skin has healed, and it is included in the original price at no extra charge. Pigment settles differently on different skin, so the second pass is part of the procedure rather than a repair you pay for.
Most clients book a colour refresh every 12 to 24 months; how long the pigment itself lasts depends on the technique and your skin (each service page gives its own range). After that, a yearly touch-up refreshes the colour from $300, priced by how much pigment is left rather than at a flat rate. That is a separate visit from the perfecting session, which is included in the original price and happens in the first weeks.
Yes. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, being under 18, and current isotretinoin use are refused at both studios, with no exception. Blood thinners, autoimmune conditions and a history of keloid scarring need clearance from your doctor first. The full list is published in the contraindications guide before you book, not after.
Adriana Souza Santos has performed more than 5,000 procedures across 20+ years and trained over 300 students. She holds AAM Diamond Certified Trainer status and New Hampshire Body Artist licence 4283, valid through 18 July 2028, which you can verify yourself at the state’s public lookup rather than take on trust.

Which Licenses Cover This Work in Wilmington?
Massachusetts has no single state body art license. Wilmington’s own Board of Health issues both licenses that cover this work: Body Art Facility License 20261921 for the studio at 211 Lowell Street, and Body Art Practitioner License 20261923 for the artist. Both run through 31 December 2026.
| License | Number | Issued by | Valid through |
|---|---|---|---|
| Body Art Facility | 20261921 | Wilmington Board of Health | 31 Dec 2026 |
| Body Art Practitioner, Adriana Santos | 20261923 | Wilmington Board of Health | 31 Dec 2026 |
| Body Art Practitioner, Livian Camargo Gomes | 20261924 | Wilmington Board of Health | 31 Dec 2026 |
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 111, Section 31, each town’s Board of Health writes its own body art rules, so a permit issued in Wilmington does not carry over to another Massachusetts town. Both licenses are posted in the studio, as Wilmington requires.

★★★★★
I have been to both locations and they are very clean and decorated beautifully. Adriana did a good job on my eyeliner and I would go back for other services. We went very conservative on the initial appt to make sure that I didn’t feel like it was too much. And added more on the touch up appt. I’m very excited to see how it heals but so far, it’s beautiful.
★★★★★
I had my eyebrows, eyeliner (upper and lower), and lip blush done with Adriana. She had to remove my old eyebrow microblading first with a few removal sessions first which was well worth it. I am so happy with the results. I have a brand new face! Everything turned out perfectly!!! I couldn't be happier with the results!!! I would recommend her services to anyone looking for permanent makeup. Please do not go to anyone else. I had two other people do mine before coming to her and she is by far the best around!!! Look no further!
★★★★★

The same with eyeliners - looks great, and so convenient for my daily routine! I m coming back for more, and recommend Livy 💯%! P.S. Livy herself is a wonderful, hearted lady, I will be so happy to see her again!!!!
