At The Brow & Beauty Boutique, we believe the most beautiful enhancements are the ones that look effortlessly natural. Our Aegyo-Sal Embroidery treatments subtly brighten and define the under-eye area, creating softer, fresher and more youthful-looking eyes using advanced semi-permanent shading techniques.
Inspired by the Korean beauty concept of Aegyo-Sal (애교살 / 卧蚕), we recreate the illusion of natural under-eye fullness and gentle light reflection, giving the eyes a brighter, more approachable appearance without adding volume.
Unlike under-eye makeup that can smudge, crease or fade, Aegyo-Sal Embroidery provides long-lasting definition that is individually customised to your eye shape, facial proportions and desired level of enhancement.

The Process
Your Aegyo-Sal Shading Journey
Each treatment is carefully assessed, mapped and softly layered to create a natural under-eye enhancement that suits your features.
We assess your eye shape, under-eye structure, skin tone and desired level of enhancement to recommend either Aegyo-Sal Shading or Aegyo-Sal + UnderEye Shading.
Your artist maps the under-eye contour according to your facial proportions, ensuring the result looks soft, balanced and natural.
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort before the area is gently cleansed and prepared for the shading process.
Using delicate nano-shading techniques, pigment is softly layered to create depth, dimension and a subtle brightening effect beneath the eyes.
The result is checked for softness, symmetry and balance. Fine adjustments are made carefully so the final look remains elegant and natural.
You will receive clear aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and pigment retention. The colour will soften naturally over the next few weeks.
Healing & Aftercare
Your Healing Journey
Proper aftercare helps maximise pigment retention and ensures your Aegyo-Sal Embroidery heals into a soft, natural-looking result.
Day 1–5
Immediately after treatment, the shading will appear deeper and more defined than the final result. Mild redness or sensitivity is normal and will gradually settle over the first few days.
Day 6–10
The colour will gradually soften and naturalise as the skin heals. Any initial intensity fades, revealing a more balanced and refined appearance.
After 10 Days
Most of the healing is complete and the pigment has settled beautifully into the skin, leaving a soft, subtle and naturally youthful-looking enhancement.
Please Avoid for 1 week
- Rubbing or scratching the treated area
- Eye makeup directly over the treatment area
- Swimming, sauna, steam rooms and hot yoga
- Heavy sweating during the first few days
- Active skincare around the eyes
Recommended Care
- Keep the area clean and dry
- Follow your artist's aftercare instructions
- Use only the recommended aftercare product if advised
- Avoid sleeping face-down during the initial healing period
- Protect the area from excessive sun exposure
- Allow the pigment to heal naturally without interference

Aegyo-Sal Embroidery FAQ
Everything You Need to Know
Soft under-eye definition, Korean-inspired brightness and naturally youthful-looking eyes. Everything you need to know about Aegyo-Sal Shading, Aegyo-Sal + UnderEye Shading, healing, longevity and what to expect.
Aegyo-Sal Embroidery is a semi-permanent under-eye shading treatment inspired by the Korean beauty concept of Aegyo-Sal, also known as 애교살 or 卧蚕. It creates the illusion of soft under-eye fullness and gentle light reflection for brighter, fresher-looking eyes.
Aegyo-Sal Shading focuses on creating soft, natural definition directly beneath the eyes. Aegyo-Sal + UnderEye Shading includes additional under-eye contour shading for a more sculpted, dimensional and brighter-looking result.
Yes. The treatment is designed to look soft and natural rather than obvious or heavy. The colour placement, shading intensity and shape are customised to your eye shape, facial proportions and desired level of enhancement.
It is suitable for clients who want brighter-looking eyes, softer under-eye definition, a more youthful expression or a Korean-inspired eye enhancement. Suitability will be assessed during consultation, especially if you have sensitive or irritated skin around the eyes.
No. Aegyo-Sal Embroidery does not add physical volume. It uses delicate semi-permanent shading to create the visual illusion of depth, contour and soft under-eye fullness. It is a cosmetic shading treatment, not an injectable procedure.
Results typically last approximately 12 to 18 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, skincare habits, sun exposure and individual pigment retention.
Most clients find the procedure manageable. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to help maximise comfort throughout the session.
Downtime is usually minimal. Mild redness, sensitivity or slight darkening of the colour may occur initially, but most clients can resume normal daily activities while following the recommended aftercare.
It may appear slightly darker during the initial healing stage. As the skin heals, the colour gradually softens and settles into a more natural under-eye definition.
If you want a very soft and natural enhancement, Aegyo-Sal Shading may be suitable. If you prefer more visible under-eye definition, added contour and a more polished Korean-inspired look, Aegyo-Sal + UnderEye Shading may be recommended.
