Iโ€™m not judgingโ€ฆ Iโ€™m putting my 13+ years of experience as a permanent makeup artist to work, mapping out the best brows of your life.๐Ÿ˜‰

Yes, Iโ€™m listening to your story. But apparently my brow pencil would also like to join the conversation.

Itโ€™s an occupational hazard. I see the possibilities, and I canโ€™t help it because I know what a difference taking that leap could make for you.

โœ… You draw them on every morning and still canโ€™t get them to agree.
โœ… Youโ€™ve got gaps, sparse spots, or tails that have quietly disappeared.
โœ… The โ€™90s took your brows, and they never gave them back.
โœ… Your brow makeup wipes off at the gym, in the pool, or halfway through the day.
โœ… Changes in your vision or dexterity are making brow makeup harder to apply.
โœ… You keep saying โ€œI should get my brows doneโ€... then putting it off. Again.

You donโ€™t have to wait until youโ€™ve used your last brow pencil or finally mastered drawing that missing tail. We can chat about a shape, colour, and technique that suit you and the look you want.

Be honest, are your brows cooperating, or are you negotiating with them every morning? ๐Ÿ˜‚

10/07/2026

It may seem like vanity... but honey, itโ€™s so much more than that.โ™ฅ๏ธ

When someone sits in my chair, I donโ€™t always know what brought them here. But as we start talking, the story behind the appointment unfolds.

๐ŸซถThat gap in their brow turns out to be a scar theyโ€™ve spent years trying to hide. Or they share how Bellโ€™s palsy left one eyebrow drooping, and how much it would mean to have them look more even again.

Someone who lost their brows during cancer treatment may see a reminder of that battle every time they look in the mirror. Having eyebrows again can mean seeing themselves before seeing what theyโ€™ve been through.

โœจThose conversations stay with me, along with the ones about getting older. โ€œMy lips used to have more colour.โ€ โ€œMy brows used to be fuller.โ€ Somewhere between stress, busy years and taking care of everyone else, they stopped feeling quite like themselves.

๐Ÿ˜…Then thereโ€™s the frustration of trying to draw on eyebrows you can barely see without your glasses. Or getting your eyeliner right when your hands wonโ€™t stay steady.

Imagine taking that struggle out of your morning. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Yes, permanent makeup can help you look good. And trust me... you do look good. ๐Ÿ˜‰ But what matters just as much is how you feel when you leave my chair, and when you look in the mirror the next morning.

More comfortable. More confident. A little more like you.

Thatโ€™s what I make. And it means so much more to me than money. ๐Ÿค

Things you should know before your appointment ๐Ÿ‘‡

Want the best possible results for your permanent makeup? They don't just start when you walk through the door. They start with knowing what to do well before your appointment.

A little planning will help the process feel smoother, keep the space calm, & give your brows, lips, or eyeliner the best chance to heal beautifully.

Are you thinking of permanent brows, lip blush, or eyeliner?

09/23/2026

This is my kind of date. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Maybe youโ€™ve been thinking about permanent brows for months. Maybe itโ€™s eyeliner youโ€™re tired of fighting with every morning. Or maybe youโ€™d love the colour and definition of lip blush but just havenโ€™t pulled the trigger yet.

Sometimes, we just need a little push. And sometimes that push comes in the form of someone saying, โ€œI booked it. Itโ€™s my treat.โ€

Because permanent makeup is about so much more than looking good. Itโ€™s about getting some of your time back.

Itโ€™s not standing in front of the mirror trying to get one brow to match the other while the clock is ticking. Drawing, wiping, redrawingโ€ฆ wondering why yesterday it took five minutes and today NOTHING is cooperating.

Who wants to be chained to an eyebrow pencil when youโ€™ve got a day to tackle?

Permanent makeup means waking up with brows that are already there, eyeliner that doesnโ€™t need to be perfected, or lips with beautiful, natural-looking colour.

Itโ€™s less frustration. More confidence. More freedom. And a few extra minutes in the morning that belong to YOU.

So whether youโ€™re ready to make a date for yourself, or you want to become someoneโ€™s favourite person forever by gifting them permanent makeup, Iโ€™ve got you. Gift certificates are also available!

If someone surprised you with permanent makeup, what are you choosing โ€” brows, eyeliner or lip blush?

permanenteyeliner

09/16/2026

๐Ÿ˜‚ The shaking might look a little questionable from behindโ€ฆ but I promise, thereโ€™s a reason we shake those pigment bottles!

Choosing your permanent makeup pigment is about so much more than grabbing a colour that looks close. Skin tone, undertone, natural hair colour, the area weโ€™re working on, the depth of colour you want and... most importantly... how that pigment is expected to HEAL in your skin all matter.

Hereโ€™s something you may not realize. The colour you see in the bottle or even immediately after your appointment is not necessarily the colour youโ€™ll ultimately be wearing. Fresh PMU typically appears stronger and darker before softening as the skin heals. Your skin itself also acts like a filter over the implanted pigment, which is why undertone can influence whether a colour heals warmer, cooler, or more neutral.

๐ŸŽจ And sometimes your perfect colour doesnโ€™t even exist in one bottle.

An experienced artist can custom mix pigments, adjusting the warmth, coolness, depth or intensity to create a shade specifically for YOU. Colour theory plays a huge role here.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m always thinking beyond what your brows, lip blush, or permanent eyeliner look like when you leave my studio. Iโ€™m choosing and mixing your pigment based on what I expect it to look like once itโ€™s implanted, healed, and settled into YOUR skin.

After 13+ years in permanent makeup, more than 1,000 clients and hundreds of 5-star reviews, thereโ€™s a whole lot of experience behind those little bottles Iโ€™m shaking. ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you could wake up tomorrow with ONE thing already done every morning- brows, eyeliner, or lip colour... which would you choose?

If the words โ€œpermanent eyebrowsโ€ still make you picture two dark, blocky brows stamped across someoneโ€™s foreheadโ€ฆ we need to talk. ๐Ÿ˜

๐๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐›๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐š ๐‹๐Ž๐๐† ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ.

Today, itโ€™s not about creating brows that enter the room before you do. Itโ€™s about using the right technique, colour and shape to give your face something it may have been missing: balance.

โ—พMaybe your tails have disappeared over the years.
โ—พMaybe youโ€™ve been filling the same sparse spots every morning.
โ—พMaybe your brows are sisters who have decided they no longer want anything to do with each other. ๐Ÿ˜‚
โ—พOr maybe you simply want to look in the mirror and feel a little more put together before youโ€™ve done a single thing.

THAT is where permanent brows can be pretty incredible.

๐Ÿ™Œ Nano. Powder. Combo.

There isnโ€™t one โ€œbestโ€ technique because there isnโ€™t one type of brow, skin or woman sitting in my chair.

We choose what works for you, then customize the shape and shade to complement your features while keeping the result flattering and believable.

And after 13+ years of creating permanent makeup, I can tell you this:

The biggest compliment isnโ€™t, โ€œI love your permanent makeup.โ€

What comes to YOUR mind when you hear โ€œpermanent eyebrowsโ€?

09/02/2026

When your client is busy getting her permanent makeup done, sometimes you have to step in and handle the important calls. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ฑ

But what is actually happening while youโ€™re relaxing in the chair?

We start with a little paperwork, followed by a consultation where we discuss the look youโ€™re after and which techniques will work best for your skin type, features and lifestyle.

Next, we carefully map out your permanent makeup and select your shades. Nothing begins until youโ€™re completely happy with the shape, colour and overall plan.

Once weโ€™ve nailed down the details, itโ€™s time to relax while the numbing cream does its work. My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment.

Before you leave, youโ€™ll receive an aftercare kit and instructions to support optimal healing while you get used to your new look at home.

Whether you choose brows, eyeliner or lip blush, permanent makeup can give you more confidence, simplify your mornings, and help you feel polished... even when youโ€™re too busy to answer your own phone. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Which would make your morning routine easier: brows, eyeliner or lip blush?

08/26/2026

๐Ÿ˜‚ Oh, you thought we were done?

Your brows may be finished, but I still need approximately 47 photos, 12 angles and a few videos to prove it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿ“ธ The after shots are part of the appointment at this point!

And when the Combo Brows turn out this good, can you blame me?!

Combo Brows are one of my favourite options because they give you a little bit of everything. We combine fine, natural-looking hair strokes with soft shading to create brows that have both dimension AND definition.

They can be a great choice if you:

โœจ Have sparse or uneven areas that need a little extra fullness
โœจ Love the look of hair strokes but want more definition than Nano Brows alone
โœจ Normally fill in parts of your brows with makeup
โœจ Want a more polished, defined result without your brows looking overly heavy
โœจ Want to add shape and structure while still keeping some of that natural, hair-like detail

And thatโ€™s the beauty of permanent makeupโ€”it isnโ€™t about giving everyone the exact same brows. Your natural hair, skin, face shape, lifestyle and how you normally like to wear your brows all help determine which technique will give YOU the best result.

๐Ÿ™Œ And if youโ€™re not sure whether thatโ€™s Nano, Powder or Combo Brows, thatโ€™s okay! We can figure that out together.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Are you team natural and fluffy or do you like your brows a little more defined?

grandforksbc

08/19/2026

๐Ÿ˜‚ Nice try with the disguise... but I KNOW those brows.

I get it. You loved how dark and defined your brows looked when they were freshly done, and as they soften over time, you may find yourself wanting that darker look back.

๐Ÿค” But wanting them darker doesnโ€™t necessarily mean your skin is ready for a refresh.

Immediately after your appointment, your brows are intentionally darker because we know two things will happen: the pigment will settle as they heal AND gradually fade over time.

โœจ Permanent makeup is designed to make your life easier, but for some people, low maintenance doesnโ€™t mean no maintenance.

If you prefer a darker brow, there may be a period where youโ€™ll need to lightly shade them in yourself while you wait for your permanent makeup to fade enough for more pigment.

And that part is IMPORTANT. ๐Ÿ‘‡

I generally need to see around 50% fading before refreshing your brows. If there isnโ€™t enough fading, there simply isnโ€™t enough room in the skin to safely add more pigment.

Adding pigment too soon can eventually leave you with oversaturated, solid-looking brows... AKA the dreaded Sharpie brow. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ And we definitely donโ€™t want that!

So rather than deciding itโ€™s time based on how many months or years itโ€™s been, let your brows tell us when theyโ€™re ready.

Before booking a refresh, send me a clear photo or schedule a consultation so I can take a look. That way, we can make sure theyโ€™re ready BEFORE youโ€™re counting on having them refreshed at your appointment.

Not sure? Send me a DM or email. Iโ€™m always happy to take a look!
