✨ 👏💄👩🎓Sometimes life just has other plans for us… ✨
After finishing her Fine Art degree 🧑🎨🖼️ , Liv took what was supposed to be a “temporary office job” while she figured out her next right step.
Then life happened and it got in the way a little…
🏡 A mortgage on her own.
💷 Bills to pay.
📅 Responsibilities.
One year turned into another… then another… and before she knew it, 15 years had passed her by.
But one thing never ever left her…
❤️ Her love of creativity.
Last year, Liv trained with me in Permanent Makeup and, whilst continuing to work full-time at the office, she’s spent the last year building her business around evenings and weekends.
This week she returned for her assessment day having successfully completed all of her case studies and many more. 👌👏👏🎉
I spend time looking through all of her fantastic work… so many smiling faces in her portfolio and her social media and website.👏👏💄
What makes me so proud is that she’s done it all while balancing a busy full-time career.
👏👏🙌Just a few hours here and there.
A Saturday morning.
One permanent makeup client at a time.
And those small steps have added up to something really quite special. ✨😻
🤎 Creating beautiful, natural hairstroke brows.
💋 we spend assessment day mastering the art of the incredible lip blush.
✨ Helping women feel more confident every day.
❤️👩🎓We worked together on a stunning lady that had just come through chemotherapy to feel like her again, with even better brows than before.
It’s given Liv the real creative outlet she’d been missing for years.
Something exciting to look forward to after a week in the office.🫶💫
A chance to use the fantastic artistic skills she thought she’d left behind. 🎨
And here’s the part that really made me happy…
Over the last year, every single client who came for a consultation went on to book treatment.
💬 “All of them that have come for consultations are going into treatments.”
That’s a 100% consultation-to-treatment rate. ❤️
Even better, many clients didn’t stop at one treatment. 🌟🌟They came back for additional procedures too, which shows just how much trust she’s built with her clients.
Most of this growth has come through friends, family and referrals, she’s now charging the full rate for her treatments.
No huge advertising budget.
No big sophisticated high end marketing campaigns.
Just very beautiful work, incredibly happy clients and word of mouth. 👄 ✨
When we were chatting, Liv said something that really stood out to me:
💬 “I can earn more money in a couple of hours than I do in a whole day working for a company.”
And yet, for Liv, it isn’t just about the money.
It’s about enjoying the creativity.🔥🔥🙌
It’s about inner confidence.
It’s about doing work that matters to people & that feels truly rewarding.
🔥💃🏻As she put it:
💬 “It doesn’t even feel like going to work. It’s really enjoyable. It makes people feel good about themselves.”
The thing I love most about Liv’s story is that she didn’t have to turn her life upside down overnight.
🌱 She simply started.
One case study client.
One spare Saturday.
One little baby step at a time.
🧑🎨And slowly she’s brought creativity, excitement and possibility back into her life again.
👌👌💃🏻She’s rewarding herself for all of her hard work and bravery with a 10 day trip to Las Vegas.
Sometimes the dream isn’t about running away from where you are.
Sometimes it’s about rediscovering a part of yourself you thought you’d lost. ❤️
I’m so proud of you, Liv. 🥰👏
Congratulations to everything she’s achieved over the last year. Well done for going for it and stepping into something you truly love again. 💄❤️🔥
The future is looking very colourful and bright indeed. Enjoy Vegas my friend Xx
