Then Vs Now Post Drop a comment below on what has you shook as a lash client or artist from now compared to then... I don’t know how many people have had this experience yet but for all those of you who have noticed - you’re working a long with your lashes and you think that you’re doing a great job... until you realize not a single one has stuck properly because your clients breath is kicking back up through the mask directly blowing on the lashes that you were working on which is curing the adhesive to quickly and you cannot then apply it properly!!! I have so many other tape and lash hacks I want to share!! I’ve started to make physical notes of the things that have changed so drastically that have adjusted my way of working to better take care of and protect my clients as well as myself... but this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of what I want to share with you when my online version of my course drops so feel free to add comments or questions or things that you think I should add in here for another small free hack and what I plan to also put in a true compendium of information!

Part 6: Tanned/Sunburnt skin compared to an Orange First of all: Sunburned skin needs to heal first, before any procedure can be done. If you love being out in the sun, and especially if you have sun damaged skin; microblading will not be a good option for you. Avoid sun/ tanning bed exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the tattoo pigment with it. After your procedure DO NOT come in contact with UV exposure (including tanning booths) for at least a week Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause fading and discoloration of the pigment. Once completely healed, always apply sunscreen (50 SPF or greater) on brow area. PMU brows whether it be Microblading, combo brows, ombré and full powder is a must-have procedure, especially during the summertime. before summer comes is the best time to do it not during the summer time of course though!! Flawless brows are yours no matter how many dips in the ocean you take or how sweaty your skin gets! Ever wondered how celebs and models emerge from the pool or leave the gym with a photo-ready face? I am willing to bet a number of them have undergone brow treatments like mine. Overview: If you are not already wearing sunscreen every day, you should definitely start. And if you already wear an SPF every day, good for you! However, you will want to avoid applying it directly to your brows the first week seven days following your microblading/Powder Effect (Microshading) procedure. After one week, you can (and should!) begin putting sunscreen directly on top of your new brows to protect them from fading. We recommend SPF 35 or higher! Until you make it to the 7-day mark, however, avoid exposure to sunlight, and wear a hat when you do step outside. Exposing skin directly to sunlight for hours can lead to skin trauma, so although moisturizing is encouraged, adding other products for after-sun care with shooting properties, is highly recommended. Products based on aloe vera if you want to maintain pmu brows (at Permanent Makeup, Eyelash Extensions and Aesthetics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ2mXyOAHZ2/?igshid=17h85nyd4pe88

Part 5: Combination Skin compared to a Clementine Why not microblading? Why not shading? Should I get both ?? Take a look here: If your skin is combination like mine it is LIKE oily skin in certain areas but like dry skin in others!!! The hardest part of being combination is that your foot is in two worlds!! Your skin - it may not hold onto the Microblading pigment well due to the method of implantation. Powder Fill, Combo Brows, or Nano Brows are more suited to Oily skin types, with much greater success for pigment retention with this special skin type, as the pigment is implanted a bit deeper than Microblading allows. If you regularly fill your own brows with Brow Pencil/Brow Powder, and like a very defined look, the natural hairstroke look of Microblading is likely not going to heal as bold as you'd like it to. Either Blade&Shade, Powdered Brows, or Combo Brows will likely suit your tastes much better, and ensure you're satisfied with your healed brows. If you're unsure of which style will suit you best in this case, please contact us with a photo of your desired brow look once healed (either how you currently fill them, or a picture of your dream brows along with a picture of your own brows), and we'll help talk you through your realistic options to ensure you choose the most suitable procedure for your ultimate goal. If you have previously permanently tattooed eyebrows, unless they are very faded, microblading may not work to cover them up, or you may need multiple sessions to do so. Powder Fill or Combo Brows more successfully conceal previous PMU work, hair strokes alone may not hide the old work effectively enough. ***If you have a tendency to not take care of your skin or have the patience for the healing process - PMU Brows are NOT for you!!! This applies to ALL PMU Brow procedures, proper after-care is ESSENTIAL to the finished product of brow art!*** (at Permanent Makeup, Eyelash Extensions and Aesthetics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ2i-qegbmI/?igshid=14uhtayul2fyq

Part 4: Oily Skin Compared to a Lemon Oily skin requires special skin care and special considerations when microblading. If you know you have oily skin, read this first! It sounds a little weird — like the signature teeny dots found in Roy Lichtenstein's iconic art — and at first, the result looks like what you'd get if you drew on your brows with harsh lines. But in about a week, the block of color fades, giving way to a softer, fuller looking arch. So, why go with microshading over microblading? Personally I say it’s better for sensitive or oily skin. I recommend microshading for clients with oily skin because the microshading technique takes better to their skin type Like microblading, it can be performed with a hand tool (not a machine), though it can also be gently completed with a machine. But unlike microblading, the artist recreates a powder or ombre look instead of individual hairstrokes. Oily skin is naturally more hydrated and supple. It tends to age very nicely however excess oil may clog pores more quickly. Very oily skin is also prone to larger pores. Oily skin will heal the most soft. microbladed hair strokes will heal more powdery as opposed to the dry skin type for example who’s microblading will heal very crisp. How oily your skin is will make a difference. Slight oiliness will heal more like normal skin, while extremely oily skin will heal much softer and the color will be more spread out. A well-trained microblading artist will know to place the strokes farther apart on a client with oily skin to minimize how much the hair strokes spread into each other once healed. that’s why it may not be the best treatment for anyone who needs a fuller 👀 please put some comments below of anything I may have missed or things that you have questions about that I can answer for you!!

Part 3: Dry Mature Skin Compared to a Pepper 🫑 Welcome to the third stage of my skin type explanation and comparison of different permanent make up techniques for you as the potential client What can permanent makeup do for mature skin? The most obvious benefit of semi-permanent makeup is the fact there’s no need to apply regular makeup every day for 1.5 to 3 years. This is how long PMU effects last and the pigments are retained in the skin. PMU is useful for saving time, but it could also make the lives of older women easier. Deteriorating eyesight can make makeup application complicated and frustrating, as can hand tremor, the two essentially harmless, but inconvenient symptoms of ageing. As we age, the notion of body image and the desire to look (and feel) our best doesn’t vanish, nor should it. Permanent makeup for the mature woman can have great physical and phychological benefits and elevate the quality of life. How skin can change in your 60s and 70s Everyone ages differently, but during this time in your life, you may notice that your skin is: ◦ Drier ◦ Thinner and starting to look paper-like ◦ Itchy ◦ Developing more age spots, wrinkles, and creases ◦ Blotchier ◦ Irritated easily ◦ More susceptible to skin infections ◦ Bruising more easily ◦ Sweating less ◦ Healing more slowly Permanent makeup is a great way for older women and men to minimize or reverse some of the effect of ageing. Scalp micropigmentation is extremely popular among older gentlemen, while microblading and eyelash enhancement can draw attention to the eyes. The shape of the eyebrow arch transforms the whole face and makes it look younger. Lip and cheek blushing inevitably refresh the face, giving it a beauty-from-within look. Rosy hues in the face instantly make anyone look younger. So for anyone struggling with insecurities related with ageing, or anyone who just wants to maximize their femininity, semi-permanent makeup is a practical way to boost your confidence!

Part 2: Young Dry Normal Skin Type Compared to a Banana 🍌 I remember when I began my first training in any form of permanent make up specifically it was the technique of microblading and yes MICROBLADING is a permanent make up technique !!! At the end of the day all of these treatments are putting pigment into the skin and so the skin is not going to push this pigment out without doing something to remove it! Drop a comment below if you are the skin type and if you have any questions for me that you want to leave or even just a positive comment (at Waterloo, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ131_jgsBP/?igshid=1ec7zpi4coqfs

When life gives you lemons 🍋(or clementines , bananas 🍌 peppers 🫑 or oranges 🍊 ), tattoo them!!!! Tattooing fruit has been around for ages and is often one of the initial practices a mentor suggests to his or her apprentice. There are a few challenges one faces when tattooing fruit: Its shape, its texture, its take to ink. While honeydew melon is great for line work on a body piece and offers a decent size to play with, it is not ideal to practice shading. Honeydew is however believed to be the most similar to that of human skin. Grapefruits, oranges and lemons have like textures ESPECIALLY on the face where we are most porous 🧽 and were used when tattoos were still largely taboo, but the ink frequently bleeds when overworked... JUST LIKE THE FACE !!! Keeping the piece of fruit steady is difficult, of course, but any great artist will find his or her way around it in time. If done right and plenty, tattooing fruit can offer some of the best tattoo training without the pressure of f... fudging up. Plus, the results make for stellar centerpieces🥴Watch the video coming next on my IG 📺 TV to see how tattooing fruit 🍉 is done in real-time, and scan the gallery for a look at some of the coolest decorative fruit 🍎 on the planet 🌎 (at Permanent Makeup, Eyelash Extensions and Aesthetics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJrqotmAtjQ/?igshid=1dtss2s8pufy

Please note this is not my removal nor the original artist who did this, I give credit to the beautiful soul from @karaspotonbeauty for fixing this !!! My prayer to my dear God is that you precious souls during this locked down DO NOT go to silly places with low prices! I see it come up in conversation with my colleagues ALL the time!!! Friendly reminder to everyone my post for TOMORROW is NOT a replacement for hands on training. This is what happens when you have inexperienced beauticians hacking away at people's faces without any regard for the other person. Ask yourself... "Would I do my own brows?" Before you work on anyone else. ALSO, learn removal... You might be able to help someone. Repost from @girlzinkstudio @tatgirlzink PLEASE SHARE This is “The woman with the 4 eyebrows” 1 year later update. There were MULTIPLE sessions of Li-FT Saline removal total, ranging from 8-12 week increments for her skin to remain healthy so the new brow tattoos heal beautifully. Research your artist and check reviews!! If you don’t like what you find out keep researching. If done correctly this is AMAZING & replaces having to do 💄 👉🏻If you haven’t heard of the story here is cliff notes. -Her daughters got her a Groupon and she went to a high end salon to get them tattooed (microblading is a tattoo) -2 hours after the mistake she went on FB marketplace and found someone’s home tattoo shop in her living room that day that could get her in & got camouflage ink tattooed into the fresh tattoos then a new set all in one sitting. (Very painful and over the 2 hour old microbladed tattoos) -She got ahold of another local tattoo artist This is after it was 4 months healed -After posting these photos and more the #Fox4KC news picked up the story and it went viral all over the world. To book your removal please DM me first and book an online consultation Some cases can be more severe than others and I have removed ones much less severe but I would be definitely open to finding clients who have had similar experiences such as this!
