Undereye Cover-up and Creme to Powder Base
When Reva came in last week to darken her tattooed eyebrows, I told her the color was perfect as is for her coloring. So, we talked make-up. For summer, I recommended my “No. 2 Creme to Powder Base” which goes on like butter and transforms to a soft powdery finish. I applied the base on the right side of Vera's face for comparison. I like how it totally erased her reddish skin tone revealing softness at the same time. Under both eyes I patted my creamy “Undereye Coverup” in neutral. I then … [Read more...]
Permanent Shading for Fine Eyebrows
Permanent shading adds definition and impact when your eyebrows are fine. Compare the two brows and see the power brow doing its work. Shading is done with tattoo needles that are spread out a tiny bit. Needles can be 8, 10 and 12 in diameter and can be three to five in a cluster for application. … [Read more...]

Happy Brows Using a Manual Microblade Pen
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
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...]

Bold Brows
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...]
Her brows and lashes aren’t going anywhere!
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...]
