Eyebrows
|
|
Overplucked brows is a very common problem I have to deal with... Hayley had overplucked her brows in the past & was really happy that I kept her own brows intact & worked with what she had left. I added some hairstrokes & shading to enhance the shape of her brows & created a very natural look that she was really pleased with :) |

This gorgeous client is a dancer and was really fed up of having to apply her brow pencil each day... |
|
I have many clients who, for one reason or another, find it difficult to apply their make-up properly. Permanent make-up is the perfect solution to this problem!!! Hear what Dora has to say about her recent experience with me...

Lovely, natural results achieved here on a brunette & blonde client :) Both still had some of their own brow hair but their brows were patchy and lacked shape & definition.
By re-drawing on the shape & carefully filling in the gaps with hairstrokes & some shading, I was able to achieve a very realistic look for them both which they were really happy with. Once healed, they will save SO much time pencilling in their brows and can go out each day, knowing there's one less thing to worry about!
NOTE: These photos were taken straight after their procedures (I don't Photoshop!) so there is still some redness around the brow area, although this will usually go down within a few hours - no need to take time off work :)
If you're thinking about having your brows done, you can find lots of information HERE. If you have other questions, please ask! My advice is always free & it would be great to hear from you.

Perfect candidate for #Microblading :)
Lovely, natural-looking brows created in my studio on the #IsleofWight & hey presto,no more eyebrow pencils! |
Client's shape was OK but her brows had become very saturated with colour, so we needed to do some removal sessions first before going ahead with colour correction & hairstroke brows. Really nice result and her brows will soften down beautifully, once healed :)
|
Lovely, natural looking result on a blonde-haired client who had very sparse brows of her own.
|
Client had some remnants of colour from a previous procedure. The shape was redefined - giving a much nicer result :)
|
Fair-haired client who had some colour left from a previous, unsatisfactory procedure. Corrected colour & shape - giving a much more flattering result.
|
Microbladed Brows for a silver-haired client -
very natural result achieved from the off!! |
|
|
Before: No brows at all! Straight after procedure: Lovely new brows created - just a little bit dark & heavy for the first few days Healed: Perfect, natural result & no more eyebrow pencils :) |
|
This client had some permanent makeup brows done a few years ago by another technician and there was a tiny remnant of colour left.
Recently, she had been pencilling in and dyeing her brows but found it difficult to get them even and wanted the convenience of not having to do them each day! I blended a lovely taupe shade for her brows, rather than the brown she had been using, which was a much more flattering colour for her. She was really pleased with the natural result and is going to book in to have her eyeliner done as well :) |
Many of my clients have lost most, if not all, their brows. This lady had her brows re-created with a Powder Brow effect in a taupe shade that complimented her fair hair and colouring perfectly :) She was really happy with the final result - she already had a nice bone structure but her new brows have given lovely shape & definition to her face :)
|
Brow Correction: I see many clients who've had permanent make-up done before, so I don't always start with a blank canvas :) This lady still had some colour left from a previous procedure and her left brow was a bit darker than her right. Also, her right brow was now significantly lower than the other. In order to give them more symmetry, I had to make them both thicker. However, although they look a bit dramatic in this photo, which was taken immediately after her procedure, the healed effect after 4 weeks was really beautiful & the client was very happy. |
Hey presto, no more eyebrow pencils :) This client did have quite nicely-shaped eyebrows to start off with - see top photo - but notice how beautifully defined her eyebrows are after her Powder Brow Perfection procedure. The bottom photo was taken immediately after her treatment. As you can see, the colour is very intense but it will fade to a lighter shade after a few days. Complete healing will take around 4 weeks when the true colour will emerge. She will have a top-up appointment at this time, where we will check the colour etc. and make any adjustments, if necessary. |
This client had her brows done previously by another technician. As you can see, they had faded to a blueish/grey colour. My client liked the shape of her brows but wanted them to be as dark as possible again, without being black, so I created a very dark brown pigment and went over the shape again for her, which she was really happy with. Unlike most clients, she'd like her brows to stay this intense colour but is aware they will fade over time and regular colour refreshers are the best way of maintaining the look she desires. |
Beautiful, natural-looking brows created here for an auburn-haired client:
Client was delighted with shape. Decided to go a little bit darker at her 4-6 week touch-up appointment, which I was more than happy to do :) She'll now have trouble-free brows for a good 12-18 mths & then come back to me for her colour refresher - perfect!! |
|
This lady had lost nearly all her brows and also, sadly, the sight in one eye was very poor, so she found it really difficult to apply eyebrow pencil properly.
I used a mix of 3 pigments to create a shade of brown that complimented her red hair perfectly, and then I created a beautiful new set of natural hairstroke brows for her. She couldn't believe how realistic they looked and was delighted with the result :) |
|
One of my oldest clients - in her 70's - proving you're never too old for Permanent Makeup :)
Her own brows were very patchy and long. I created a more flattering shape with microblading and trimmed her own brows - a very natural-looking result achieved which is exactly what she wanted :) |
Another great result on a fair-haired client - lovely hairstroke brows created here - colour perfectly blended to go with her skin tone & hair colour :)
|
Perfect Model for Permanent Makeup!
Client had very uneven, patchy brows that she felt self-conscious about. I used the hairstroke technique to fill in and reshape her brows, giving her a much nicer but still very natural-looking result :) |
Photo take straight after treatment, so looks a little dark. Will heal to a beautiful, subtle taupe colour that perfectly compliments her salt & pepper hair :)

This gorgeous girl had her brows done previously by another technician but wanted them darker & thicker & more square at the fronts. I used a mix of dark brown & black pigments, so her brows do look at bit heavy to start off with. However, they will fade over the coming weeks to give a lovely softer, powder-brow effect :) |
|
This lady loves travelling & didn't want to keep pencilling in her very sparse brows each day. She was a perfect client for permanent makeup - lovely, natural-looking finished result which she was very happy with :) |
Eyeliner
Many of my clients have had permanent makeup done before...this lady had her top & bottom eyeliner done previously but it had faded to a faint bluish line. I refreshed the whole eye for her - with a top medium & bottom fine eyeliner, using black & dark brown pigments, as she does like a very defined effect for her makeup. 
|
This client wanted her eyeline to be towards the outer edges of the eye, rather than across the whole eye area which is a good choice for her slim face shape. The colour will heal to a softer slate grey - a perfect match for her hair :) 
This lady wanted thick eyeliner top & bottom and was really pleased with the finished effect - no more eyeliner pencils!!
|
This client can't wear mascara and loves the convenience of having permanent eyeliner. She had her top & bottom eyeliner done by another technician 3 years ago and as you can see in the top pic, it had faded and become a touch bluish.
The colour after the initial procedure is a bit dramatic but will fade to a lovely soft brown by the time she comes for her touch-up in 4 weeks time. Another happy customer who's now booked in for permanent eyebrows :) |

Lips
"When you have your lips blushed, you can still wear normal lipstick over the top on those occasions when you want to create a more dramatic, 'dressed-up' look." Karen @ CAREFREE BEAUTY
You can see from the top photo that this client already had a lovely regular lip shape. However, by "blushing" her lips, we created much more definition, even though the finished colour was still very natural. A perfect daytime look :)
|
As you can see in the top photo, this client's natural lip colour has faded quite significantly and the outline of her lips has become less defined.
However, what an amazing transformation there is between before and after the procedure! We decided on a beautiful, pinky brown lip colour to complement her lovely red hair, and all we did at the end was dab on a touch of nourishing lip balm. Even though the client's lips are still slightly blanched after the procedure, because the topical anaesthetic hasn't quite worn off, you can still see clearly in the bottom photo what a difference this lip blush procedure has made! NOTE: It isn't uncommon for the colour to fade by up to 70% after the first lip procedure. However, all adjustments are easily accomplished at the second stage of the process, during your 4-6-week top-up appointment. |
This client is much younger than in the above example but has still benefited by having her lips "blushed".
She doesn't like wearing a lot of make-up, so wanted to go for a very subtle, natural look. As you can see in the bottom photo, the shape of her lips has been crisped up nicely and she will save so much time by not having to apply lipstick :) A dab of lip gloss will be perfect! NOTE: Her lips are still blanched straight after the procedure, because the topical anaesthetic hasn't quite worn off. However, the anaesthetic will wear off very quickly and the true colour of the lip blush will show throughout her lips. |
This client's natural lip colour has faded and the outline of her lips is not very well defined. She chose to have a full lip colour, rather than a lip blush.
The bottom photo was taken half an hour after we had finished the first procedure, so the topical anaesthetic has worn off and there is hardly any blanching. As you can see, there is much more definition and fullness in her lips. - we have only added a touch of Vitamin A & D Healing Cream to aid the recovery process (an aftercare pack is included FREE with all our permanent make-up procedures). This initial colour is a few shades darker than the client desired but it will fade to a softer pink to give a lovely, natural tone back to this client's lips. Any necessary adjustments will be made during the touch-up appointment after 4-6 weeks. Often, with a full lip colour, a third visit is necessary. However, as with all Carefree Beauty permanent make-up procedures, there are no hidden extras - all necessary visits to complete the treatments are included in the price! |

Client wasn't happy with her lips that were naturally very pale.
Permanent lip colour is perfect for this - go for the lip blush if you want a really natural effect, or the full lip colour if you want something a bit bolder. Great results either way :) |
|
Full lip colour done here...this photo was taken straight after the procedure & will heal to a very pretty soft red :)
