Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying a permanent or semi-permanent cosmetic eye liner to the edge of an eye lid by implanting a pigment solution by surgical procedure along the edge of the eye lid and/or the lash line. The eye lid is anesthetized and stabilized, and a series of needles coated with a pigment solution is inserted into the edge of the eye lid to implant the pigment solution into the dermal and/or epidermal layer of skin beneath the eye lid edge. A guide mechanism is provided to guide the implantation of pigment solution in the proper, pre-selected location.
