Behind the Scenes of My Permanent Makeup Process
Curious how those perfect brows happen? Here is a transparent look at my step-by-step process, from mapping your face to the final reveal. No secrets here, just honest work.
A close-up view of the microblading tool in action. I meticulously create each hair stroke to follow the natural growth pattern of the brow, ensuring a realistic and seamless result.
This video shows the full arc of the process. You can see the 'before' brows, me working on them, and the immediate 'after' result, which looks crisp and defined.
The final wipe-off is the most exciting part. Here, I playfully reveal the finished brows to a client, who was thrilled with the perfect shape that was hiding underneath the pigment mask.
The first look in the mirror is a crucial step. I always pause to let the client see the progress and confirm they are happy with the shape before we complete the session.
This clip shows me wiping away excess pigment to reveal the bold, dark eyebrows this client wanted. The colour looks intense at first but softens to a natural shade as it heals.
Here you can see the shading process. I carefully build up layers of colour to create a soft, gradient effect, which is ideal for a filled-in makeup look.
This client is receiving a combination of microblading and shading. This hybrid technique offers the best of both worlds: natural hair strokes and soft, powdery fullness.
About The Process: A Look Behind the Scenes
Before we start any procedure, I always perform a thorough mapping session using the golden ratio to suit your specific face shape. This isn't just about drawing on skin; it's about checking your bone structure and hair growth patterns so that when you sit up, the results look like your natural brows—just fuller and better defined.
People often worry about the 'tattoo' look, but my process is entirely different. We use organic, iron-oxide-free pigments that fade naturally over 2-3 years, so you never have to deal with brows turning green or blue.
The Safety & Comfort Protocol
Hygiene is non-negotiable. I use single-use, gamma-sterilized needles for every client, and everything is prepped with medical-grade alcohol and chlorhexidine. Before the needle touches your skin, we apply high-strength numbing cream using the occlusion method. This ensures maximum absorption, so most clients actually find the process relaxing, not painful.
Mapping & Customization
Every face is unique. We start with a 45-minute consultation to analyze your Korean skin structure and bone alignment. I use pre-inked string to map your Golden Ratio, creating a symmetry that complements your features. You see the outline before we start—if you aren't happy, I don't touch the needle.
The Healing Reality
Post-procedure, the color will look intense for a few days before it settles. You’ll get a healing kit to manage the initial scabbing phase, which typically lasts about a week. It’s a bit of a journey, but it’s how we ensure that gorgeous, long-lasting tint.
