If you’ve ever found yourself checking your chin in the car mirror before a meeting, keeping tweezers in your handbag “just in case”, or wondering where those dark hairs suddenly came from, you’re certainly not the first person to ask. For many women, unwanted facial hair becomes more noticeable during their 40s and 50s. What…

If you’re thinking about permanent makeup eyebrows, you might assume your appointment starts with choosing a shape. In reality, that’s only a small part of the process. Designing beautiful permanent makeup brows is one of the most important stages of your treatment. Long before I create a single hairstroke or begin implanting pigment, I’ve already…
This week I made the final payment on my £10,000 Bounce Back Loan. For many people, that might just sound like another business loan that’s finally been repaid. But for me, it marks the end of one of the hardest chapters of my career, and the beginning of one of the most meaningful. Like so…
For many people, eyebrows are something we barely think about until they’re gone.

As we get older, many of the makeup techniques we relied on in our twenties and thirties no longer work quite so well. Eyelids can become more hooded, skin loses elasticity, lashes often become finer, and applying eyeliner can feel more difficult than it once did. For many women, what used to be a quick…
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt that your eyes don’t look quite as defined as they once did, you’re not imagining it. As we age, our lashes often become finer, lighter, and less noticeable. Many women find themselves relying more heavily on mascara to achieve the same level of definition they enjoyed…
