This client was a model during a class I taught. We did a dark blonde-light brown mix with a 1-nano needle.

She naturally has this strawberry blonde hair; I’ve worked on her and all of her sisters. In the first picture it’s my work faded out 2-3 years later, and the 2nd is a color refresh we did on her.

It was important for the client to make sure they will heal there will not be an obvious rim around her lips so I did a contourless techcnique on her. Will heal very natural looking.

Lots of blonde clients show me this picture when coming in. I think it’s a common fear that we don’t have enough color options in permanent makeup. I promise that we do!

I’ve referred her to get some laser to remove the old-school work, but in rare cases this is as much as it’ll remove. Did a color correcting service and was able to achieve a pretty nice result, given the fact that they were green to begin with.

Perfect way to add more density to her brows.

Elegant, sheer, contourless lip blush. She’s an old client of mine for brows and this time she came in for blushing. She followed pre-care instructions so well so it was easy to work on her because the quality of the skin on the lip was so good.

Another powder brow. Pigment heals cooler/ashier.

Sheer coral lip blush which will just heal healthy looking with more definition where the white gaps were.

On the left you can see how my work faded years later so we added more definition to bring back the shape after some fading.

I actually have her healed picture somewhere too; she healed beautiful (30% intensity of what’s in the picture) and very soft. She’s in her early 20s and I wanted to make sure we left room for change.

If you remember those Nivea Cherry lip balms - this will heal very similar to that even though it might look scary dark to begin with.

We chose to go with a slightly coppery brown for the powdered look to avoid any grey-taupey healing given her redhead hair.

Before/After/Healed

She lost color and definition due to lip filler so we added that back with some nice lip blushing.

I’ve been working on her mom for years, but she’s been constantly using a pencil from Benefit. She’s heading off to college to France on a full scholarship and this was a gift from her parents to make her life and routine easier.

Lighting is not the best in this picture, but this was a client who wanted 2-3 years prior a very ashy taupe eyebrow. Time passed and during her next treatment we decided to warm things up a tad. Don’t forget result always looks more red because of irritation.

She wanted the most sheer layer of color; after I almost finished her bottom lip I stepped back and took a picture to show my students and clients how impactul that color change can be and how much healthier it makes the lips look.

Soft and pretty. Please note strokes do soften up and “fluff out” a bit upon healing

On very sensitive, fair skin

I never use black as a pigment color as it can heal harsh and blue-ish.

Ash brown powder brow to achieve more symmetry; most people have asymmetrical brows and we cannot promise perfection, but if possible we will try to give you a more even result.

Even though it looks like tinted skin in the beginning, this is a brow that will heal very soft and just fill in the gaps she came in with.

Warmed up her complexion with some powder brows. Don’t judge her mask, her little ones are always sick.

I unfortunately only have a video as a before, but she had green eyebrows tattooed somewhere else. In these two pictures you can see how she healed before her touch-up.

As you can see in the before picture, even though she’s tried letting them grow, the gap wouldn’t fill in so micropigmentation really helped it out.

Looks very good with her salt and pepper hair.

Sheer pink lip blushing.

Client was unhappy with her brows (which I thought they looked lovely) so we decided to do powder brows to add more definition and fill in any little gaps she had.

I know many might think they already looked perfect and bushy to begin with, but we always want more, right? She mostly needed some definition around her tails. 7-8 days after treatment they’ll look much softer.

First picture is 3 years post treatment. She probably could’ve come in a bit sooner, but she still had some leftover color. I just followed my notes and gave her the same shape and color as previously because she loved it.

Added some delicate hairstrokes for volume and definition to help fill in all the little gaps in the eyebrow. I like to avoid very dark ashy colors on fair skin, so it never turns a weird tone as time goes by.

This is a student of mine who has had lip blushing done many years before with another technician. She wanted a fuchsia pink color, but it will heal either way a bit more tamed down.

Big change as we started off with no hair

I’m still mesmerized by her blue eyes, but my work is not too shabby either

Some clients swell up a lot more, she had very good quality skin and took color easily.

Everyone’s brows lighten up and cool off a bit upon healing. Keep that in mind when scrolling through this gallery.

They go perfectly well with her dark hair and the new shape definitely made her eyes look more opened and lifted.

She understood I usually work on clients with little to no hair, but she just wanted a soft brown powdering in the background of her hair to make her brows look more tamed.

I think this color really suits her warm skin and hair.

I don’t think she needed it.. basically in the first picture you can see my own work faded after about 18/24 months if I remember well, 2nd one is after a couple of passes of powdering. She definitely likes a bold brow, but she has the hair to rock it.

This pictures is taken right after the treatment. Surprisingly, I saw this client healed and she managed to not pull the hair that grew on top of the strokes I added in the tail. So happy for her. She truly has beautiful brows naturally

We were actually laughing because of the post treatment swelling. Please note this subsides within 2-3 hours. She is an old client of mine who always came in for brows, but now came in for lips too.

With powder brows we don’t have to match the color of the pigment to the brow hair so in a case like this, using something just slightly warmer adds a bit of warmth to the client’s complexion and doesn’t make the healed result harsh.

Client’s Pencil/before/freshly done

Even though I used a medium, almost ashy brown, because her skin got irritated it looks copper freshly done. That will not be her healed results. Skin calms down quite quickly.

Dark Ash Brown color - hairstrokes throughout the brows and a bit of powdering in the tail area where she’s missing even more hair

Frames her eyes beautifully. It looks a bit bold, but keep in mind 20-60% of color is lost upon healing. When her fair skin sits on top of the pigment it’ll look like it “belongs” to her face much better.

Client applied her own numbing cream at home and came in quite irritated. Please let us use our own topical.

One of my client’s daughter who came in for lip blushing. You can imagine her lip shape goes back to normal in 2-3 hours post treatment. The color will also heal like a cherry lip stain.

Her brows, just a bit better ;)

I know the fresh work can look a bit more yellow/mustardy, just remember that every treatment heals more ashy and also in pictures taken right after the treatment the skin can be irritated underneath.

Healed result right before we started the first touch-up. During the first touch-up we can slightly change the color or fill in any little spots that didn’t take color properly.

Some of the shape change is due to lip swelling.

5% of the width is lost upon healing

Client wanted a slightly bolder look. She overplucked in the past and then grew her brows back in, but some areas were very spotty, hence I added some powdering too. Keep in mind she heals softer than it looks freshly done.

Given that she dyes her hair with a very red based tone, we decided to add some warmth to her brows as well. Her tails also needed some extra color.

Before is my own work faded out years post treatment; on the right it’s a picture taken right after color refreshing them.

One of my favorite corrections. The first picture was taken the day I convinced her for 45 min not to go ahead with the treatment and get some laser removal. She’s a beautiful redhead client and the blue hue of the pigment didn’t suit her complexion at all.

Heals lighter, more like a nude-peach. You can see the puffy skin especially around the contour. So yes, expect that duck lip look for a few hours after the treatment. Totally normal.

Just a little enhancement of her already beautiful brows.

Strokes and a bit of powdering on the lower part for more definition.

She got very red from crying (of happiness). I wouldn’t say it is an ideal result, but it’s the best I could do given her previous brows. They were tattooed and also removed with laser, the skin was very scarred. I had to correct the color with something warm and used both strokes and powdering. It looks quite bold because in situations like this there’s a lot of color loss upon healing.

I thought she had beautiful brows to begin with, but she wasn’t a fan of the rounded shape so I adjusted them and gave them a bit more structure.

I wish the lighting in the room was the same in both pictures, but you can see how lifeless and pale her lips looked before.

She was ecstatic with her results. (Color heals cooler.)

Client previously had her brows done at another location; she had some removal prior to coming in but some yellow-green patches were still visible. Note that the color will not heal this copper; skin is irritated and we had to color correct the remaining pigment.

This is another example of a color refresh. Some clients fade more, while others still have the shape in place, they just might lose some definition and color.

Left part is my faded work 2-3 years later, on the right is after we touched them up.

Probably one of the most challenging cases I’ve worked on color-wise. She is a young medical student from Yemen and the goal was to achieve a color that blends in with the inner part of the lip. You can imagine how thrilled she was.

A hairstroke transformation on a lovely client referred to me by a local esthetician that I love.

The initial color looks too warm in contrast with her hair, but when she heals it’ll be a taupe color. This is the type of brow that you won’t even be able to tell she’s had this done.

Shape was very skinny to begin with and she also had some remaining color from an old tattoo. It was quite difficult to work on her skin, but I think the new shape suits her very well.
