Just finished tweaking these happy brows using a manual microblade pen. This is a four week follow-up to see the final results. I added extra strokes where needed. I have a very satisfied client from Frederick, MD whose husband surprised her with a Gift Certificate for Christmas. He downloaded the certificate, printed it and paid for it all online. Technology has come a long way. But doing the actual tattooing of micro-pigmentation is void of high tech maneuvers, but is totally reliant on … [Read more...]
Natural Permanent Eyeliner
December 2, 2016
Before I begin applying permanent eyeliner, I evaluate hair, skin and eye color. My client is of neutral coloring with low contrast. She wanted a very natural look and that's what she got. I was happy my client didn't swell much. Some swelling is normal afterwards. She will apply a very cold compress for five seconds and then lift off so it normalizes temperature. Because I used the thinnest needles, the pigment is applied just under the skin so you don't want to over ice the area. In … [Read more...]
Nuances of Eyebrow Development
December 2, 2016
Clients and I both learn the nuances of eyebrow development from this point of view: "This is permanent folks and will be for years. Better get it right!" This is why the comprehensive consultation is so important. Some elements analyzed in this consultation included: Horizontal misalignment Right brow lower Left brow higher Wider lid on left Right bone structure is flat and left is forward I also analyze the skin undertones to develop the proper shades.

Asymmetrical Eyebrows
August 14, 2016
My client, a retired principal of a Baltimore County school shows off a highly improved eyebrow. I wanted to achieve a lifted brow without too much drama. She had had her brows done elsewhere before, but the lift you see here was not there. It was low and flat but I do see why. Many of us have a flat brow bone that is different from the other one. If one is flat and the other is not, the symmetry will need to be corrected. On her next visit, I will add a beige color to correct the symmetry. … [Read more...]
Bold Brows
August 12, 2016
My client, Nikki, came back for a brow refresher. It had been six years so they were faded and needed a touch-up. The factors that lead to this design were her angular features, her height and personality. In the consult, I had settled on two shapes. One reserved and the other more striking . Her shoulders are broad so all the parts came together. I first laid down a light taupe tone and since it looked a bit boring I added the depth. She will be back for a follow up in four to six weeks. Keep … [Read more...]
How long do eyebrow hair strokes last?
August 10, 2016
A question I often get asked is how long do eyebrow hair strokes last. Both shading, hair strokes and microblading will fade over time. The depth of the pigment penetration, the needle or needles and diameter of needle play a role. Lifestyle and proper care also contribute to how long the strokes last. Touch-ups can be done after two years, but everyone is different. Skin types--thin, dry oily, acidic are factors that add or diminish staying power. The darker the hair strokes, the longer they … [Read more...]
Her brows and lashes aren’t going anywhere!
September 7, 2015
While some people may think her lash extensions are extreme, I just love how her brows turned out. I used the Micro-Blade Pen and used two different blades. I enjoy using a combination of brow techniques. Now this cheerleader is ready to cheer on her team. She can sweat all she wants, but neither her lashes nor her eyebrows are going anywhere. They will serve her well. … [Read more...]
