Imagine waking up with perfectly defined eyes without having to apply eyeliner every morning. At Adriana's Permanent Makeup, our Top Eyeliner treatment enhances your natural beauty by creating a clean, elegant line along the upper lash line that adds definition, depth, and lasting confidence.
Since 2017, we have helped clients in Wilmington, MA and now Salem, NH simplify their beauty routines with customized permanent makeup services.
Top Eyeliner is a permanent makeup procedure that places pigment along the upper lash line to create the appearance of fuller lashes and beautifully defined eyes.
The treatment can be customized to achieve various looks, from a subtle lash enhancement to a more noticeable eyeliner effect. During your consultation, we will discuss your goals and create a design that complements your eye shape and personal style.
The result is a polished appearance that remains beautiful throughout the day without smudging or fading.
Top Eyeliner offers numerous benefits for clients seeking a long-lasting beauty solution:
Many clients appreciate the ability to wake up looking refreshed and ready for the day.
Top Eyeliner suits most skin types, but not everyone. These are the conditions we check in the consultation, before any pigment is opened.
Every appointment begins with a personalized consultation and design process.
The procedure typically includes:
Most appointments take approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Healing is not a straight line: the colour looks darkest before it looks right. Knowing the order stops people from panicking in week one.
| When | What you see |
|---|---|
| Right after | Mild swelling |
| First few days | Slight redness around the eyes |
| During healing | Temporary darkening of the pigment |
| Following weeks | Gradual softening as healing progresses |
| 4 to 6 weeks | Fully healed. This is the result you judge |
Aftercare decides how much pigment stays. The full routine is on the aftercare page.
Top Eyeliner costs $350 at both the Wilmington, MA and Salem, NH studios. The consultation costs $50, and that $50 is credited toward your service if you book it.
| What you pay for | When it happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | Before booking, in English or Portuguese | $50, credited |
| Top Eyeliner, first session | Day of the appointment | $350 |
| Second session | 6 to 8 weeks later, once healing finishes | Included |
| Yearly Touch-Up | About 12 months later, to refresh colour | From $300 |
The second session is not the same appointment as the Yearly Touch-Up: the second session corrects patchy or light spots and is already paid for, the Yearly Touch-Up refreshes colour a year later and is billed separately. Payment can be split into 4 interest-free instalments with Cherry. see the options. Full list on the price page.
Top Eyeliner results can last several years depending on factors such as:
Periodic touch-ups help maintain the desired appearance and color intensity.
At Adriana's Permanent Makeup, every eyeliner treatment is customized to enhance your natural features.
Clients choose us because we provide:
Our goal is to create beautiful, balanced results that make your daily routine easier and your eyes stand out naturally.
Yes. The treatment can be customized from a subtle lash enhancement to a more defined eyeliner look.
Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to topical numbing products used throughout the procedure.
Most sessions take approximately 2 to 3 hours.
Initial healing typically occurs within one to two weeks, with complete healing taking several weeks.
Yes. Once the area has fully healed, you may continue using your regular makeup products if desired.
Top Eyeliner costs $350 at both studios, and that price already includes the perfecting session scheduled 6 to 8 weeks after the appointment. The consultation, the mapping and the topical numbing are part of it as well. A yearly touch-up, from $300, is a separate visit about 12 months later. Every price is published on the price list.
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.

The first time I met Adriana, was for a consultation for my eyebrows. I noticed the office was beautifully decorated and everything was clean. During the consultation, Adriana took her time to answer all of my questions, made recommendations, and made me feel confident in my decision. I loved her work so much, that I had not one, but three services done with Adriana! (powder brows, classic eyeliner and lip blush) I highly recommend Adriana. She is a talented, attentive, and skillful artist. She has years of experience and her work speaks for itself. If you have been searching for a master, permanent, makeup artist that is personable, meticulous, knowledgeable, and that will deliver exactly what you expect, then look no further. Thank you Adriana for your beautiful work. ❤️

I had my brows and top eyeliner done with adriana who did an amazing job. I found her page on instagram and booked a consultation appointment first because I wasn’t sure what I needed and wanted her professional opinion. Her and her staff were so kind, patient and welcoming. They answered every question I had and recommended that I do the nano combo brows. 3 weeks later I had my appointment and was stunned by the results. I’m so happy with how they turned out. Adriana was gentle and very meticulous with her craft and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the appointment. I was nervous about the pain for the eyeliner and I ended up falling asleep cause I was so comfortable. I can’t thank them enough for doing such a great job. 10/10 recommendation!

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.

Book NowSix things are worth verifying with any permanent makeup artist before you book: their licence number, who trained them, what the price includes, whether a price is published at all, what they refuse to do, and whether the technique actually suits your skin.
| What to check | What to ask any artist | The answer here |
|---|---|---|
| Practitioner licence | Ask for the licence number and check it yourself with the state or the town, instead of taking a badge on a website at face value. | New Hampshire Body Artist licence 4283, valid through 18 July 2028 and searchable at the state’s own public lookup. Town of Salem BODA-10 and BODE-4. Body Art Practitioner licence from the Town of Wilmington Board of Health. |
| Who trained them | Ask who certified the artist, and whether that credential can be checked with the body that issued it. | AAM Diamond Certified Trainer, the American Academy of Micropigmentation’s highest level of instructor recognition. |
| What the price includes | Ask whether the perfecting session is included or billed later. This is where quoted prices most often stop matching the final bill. | The perfecting session, 6 to 8 weeks after the appointment, is included in every original price. The yearly touch-up, from $300, is a separate visit about 12 months later. |
| Whether the price is published at all | The consultation costs $50, credited toward the service. A studio that will not name a range before seeing you is not comparable to one that will. | All 13 services are published with their prices, from $250 to $850, on the price list. |
| When they say no | Ask what would make them refuse to perform the procedure. An artist who never refuses is a warning sign. | Pregnancy, breastfeeding, under 18 and isotretinoin are refused at both studios with no exception. The full list is in the contraindications guide, published before you book rather than after. |
| Whether the technique fits you | Ask which technique suits your skin type, and what they would recommend if this one does not. | Upper lash line only. Ask what happens to the line as it heals and softens. This is settled at the consultation, in English or Portuguese. |
