Winged eyeliner creates a precise, elegant flick that is perfectly balanced and tailored to your eye shape. We can customise the length, angle and thickness of the wing, from a delicate everyday flick to a more dramatic statement.
Shaded top eyeliner is a soft, blended alternative to a crisp line. It creates a diffused, smoky effect, like a blended pencil liner, with a small to long wing in black or brown. Shelley takes particular pride in the variety of her shading, so the look can be adapted to almost any style.
Either way, you review and approve the full design before we begin, and lash enhancement is included as standard.
If you’re unsure, we can start with a more natural look and build from there. It’s always easier to add than to remove.
Real CTM clients. Every liner is designed for the client’s own eye shape and style, and results vary with skin type and aftercare.
Your eyeliner is created by one of our senior artists, in our private St Kilda salon.

Please don’t wear contact lenses or eye makeup to your appointment; bring your glasses if you need them. We take our time so you leave with liner you love.
We talk about the look you wear day to day, then draw the wing or shaded shape to suit your eye. Nothing is started until you are 100% happy with the shape and placement.
A topical anaesthetic is applied before and throughout. Your artist builds the liner along the lash line, with lash enhancement included as standard.
Mild swelling and redness for 24–48 hours is normal. The colour looks darker and more intense for the first 3–7 days, then softens.
4–10 weeks later, once healed, we check how the liner has settled and refine the shape or add depth where needed, the Baby Steps way.
Good aftercare keeps your liner crisp and even as it heals. Here is what we ask of you.
At CTM, we guarantee satisfaction through our Baby Steps Method. Rather than rushing to create the boldest colour in one session, we take a measured, considered approach, building the result gradually so there is no room for error. It is always easier to add to a tattoo than to remove it, and this philosophy ensures every client leaves happy with a result they can grow into confidently.

It depends on your eye shape, the look you wear day to day and how bold or subtle you want the result to be. If you are unsure, we recommend starting with a more natural option and building from there at your perfecting session. It is always easier to add than to remove.
Winged eyeliner is a crisp, defined line with a flick at the outer corner. Shaded eyeliner is softer and diffused, like a blended pencil or smoky liner, and can be done with a small to long wing in black or brown.
The eye area is more sensitive than other parts of the face, but most clients find it very manageable. A topical anaesthetic is applied before and throughout, and many clients say it is no more uncomfortable than having their makeup done. Taking Panadol 45 minutes beforehand can help. Sensitivity can be a little higher if you are unwell, run down or menstruating.
We mainly work with black and brown, as these are the most natural and flattering. We can also use navy, charcoal, or more creative tones such as green, purple or blue if you want something more individual.
Very little. Mild swelling and redness for the first 24–48 hours is normal. Please don’t wear contact lenses to your appointment or for the first 24 hours afterwards. The colour looks darker for the first 3–7 days before softening to the healed result.
Cosmetic eyeliner typically lasts 2 to 4 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure. The lash line tends to hold pigment well, and we recommend a touch-up every 2–3 years.
Often, yes. Shelley loves corrections work. Whether your liner has migrated, faded unevenly or is asymmetrical, send us photos or give us a call. It may just need rebalancing or a touch-up; in some cases targeted saline removal is recommended before fresh pigment is applied.
Yes. Lash enhancement adds pigment along the lash line so lashes look fuller, and shaded bottom liner suits clients with very sparse lower lashes or lash loss from alopecia, chemotherapy or other medical conditions.
