Many clients ask me how I became interested in permanent makeup.

I was always interested in art as a hobby. I took some lessons, but mostly taught myself how to paint in oils by copying the masterpieces of the artists I most admire.

Years of honing my talent for portraiture and mixing colours gave me the confidence to meet the challenge of permanent makeup which demands perfection on every application.

I always loved makeup, but when I first saw permanent makeup I was shocked that anyone would put a permanent mark on their face. After some more consideration I realized that the oddest part of makeup is that we put marks on our face at all. Having it applied permanently simply means that we spend less time doing it!

In order to learn from some of the top permanent makeup artists in the world, I took courses throughout the USA. One of the courses was given by a sanctioned Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professional trainer and I follow the guidelines/ethics set out by that organization as set out by dermatologists and experts in the field of permanent makeup.

Using an eye for detail and symmetry, I take the time to make you a work of Live Art!
