In this lesson, certified PMU artist Valyria Mayorova shares her proven system for creating beautifully blended shaded eyeliner without swelling. Drawing on 10 years of experience and years of specialization in shaded eyeliner, she breaks down exactly how to control anesthesia, tension, and shading technique to keep the eyelids calm and the pigment implantation clean.
You’ll see how Valyria applies and times primary anesthesia to delay swelling, how she removes it without smudging the sketch, and how she uses tiny circular and pendulum motions to implant pigment evenly between the lashes. She explains the correct way to stretch the skin, work in small controlled sections, choose warm base tones, and build a smooth gradient without triggering puffiness.
By the end of the lesson, you’ll understand how to manage every factor that causes swelling — from pigment consistency to machine angle — and you’ll be able to create soft, elegant, long-lasting shaded eyeliner with far better healed results for your clients.
