what an honor doing Marissa Ayers lip blush to give her the most natural brown toned n**e to match her favorite lip liner, mac whirl! cannot wait to see her healed results watch her stun at future giants games and all the other fab things she has going on💗✨

SPF is an absolute MUST if you have pmu (but also in general for every single person). Too much direct sun exposure without spf can cause premature fading of the pigment or even color shifting to an ashy color, which we do not want! Here are some of my faves you can get at Sephora

Extremely grateful for my client, Ronica for putting in all that time, money, and PATIENCE to get her old brows lasered off so she can get fresh airy powder brows redone by me🫶🏼

If you have previous work done by another artist that is NOT at least 70-80% faded or if they’re uneven, then laser sessions are absolutely necessary! If there’s already a lot of pigment in your skin, new pigment will not hold up and your brows will heal super ashy and sharpie-like. The goal is always undetectable healed results✨

We put my color matching skills to the test with some blind swatches 👄🎨

These are some of my most requested shades as my clients come to me wanting something in that brown-toned n**e family, but pinky mauves are a close second in popularity.

A little PSA: this is a fun way to show my process, but it’s not an exact science. Your skin tone, natural lip color, and undertones all play a role so sometimes we actually need to go a bit brighter with the pigment so that the healed result ends up matching the lippie you’re picturing. Color matching isn’t just picking the closest shade off a chart, it’s understanding how a color will sit and heal on your unique lips.

This is where my color theory knowledge meets my intuition after years of mixing pigments and watching how they heal on different skin tones. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the process!

The best part of having ombré powder brows is that most days, all you’ll need is a brow gel to brush up your brow hairs in place✨ these are my favorite ones at Sephora

Brown toned lip liners that pair perfectly with lip blush 🤎

By now you probably know I specialize in brown toned lip blush. Not too pink, not too brown, right in that caramel n**e family✨

If you want a color reference, these liners are a great place to start. The shades are hands down the most requested by my clients.

Getting your lip blush done doesn’t mean you’ll never pick up a liner again. It’s actually a great combo:

✨ No makeup days → your lip blush is all you need
✨ Full glam days → your lip blush becomes your stencil and is a great base for more liner on top
