Blush and Blade Training Academy

Some exciting changes coming in July ✨

I’m officially entering my afterschool clubs mum era — and I am here for it 🥰

When my boys were tiny, I went back to work after just 7 weeks and honestly missed so much. Having the shop in Horwich meant long days, afterschool clubs, and very little real home life. I wasn’t as present as I wanted to be and that’s always stayed with me.

Now that I work from home and with summer holidays just around the corner, I’m switching to school hours only from July. My boys are both at school now and this stage of life calls for a different version of me — a mummy that’s actually there!

Here’s what’s changing:

🕐 Working hours — school hours only

📅 New clients — online booking will be closing for new clients. If you’re looking to book in for the first time, message here on Instagram and I’ll do my best to fit you in

💛 Returning clients — you’ll always be my priority. Please book in advance online where you can!

⚡️ Laser Hair Removal — this will be making a come back! Packages to be announced soon…

🎓 Lip blush training — I’m bringing back beginner training, but keeping it very limited. This will mean better support for each student and a calmer experience for us both. 1:1 from my cabin only.

I’m not disappearing, just being more intentional with my time. Thank you for your continued support, it genuinely means everything 💫

Another post for these gorgeous lips, because why not 😍

Soft ombré style using two different pigment mixes throughout the lips. Swipe for a series of pictures & a video, some with gloss and some without!

Do you prefer them with gloss?

Lip blush process for a subtle ombre style 💁🏻‍♀️

1. Before
2. Pre-draw
3. Outline & one pass on the bottom lip
4. Finished result

We were going for ‘your lips but better’, my client wanted more definition round the top lip especially and we may build the colour more on the top up ☺️

Healed brows & lip blush 😍

Permanent makeup is a natural enhancement, it is not designed to completely replace makeup, but to make your mornings easier, giving you a flush of colour to your lips & definition to your brows 💁🏻‍♀️

Taking bookings from August 🗓️

Creating the illusion of bigger lips with more shape and symmetry 🤌🏼

Top: Before
Middle: pre-draw
Bottom: outline complete on the top lip (white patches due to numbing gel) and first pass on the bottom lip

All the flufffff 🤌🏼

Thank you for the last 2 days learning your hyper realism brow technique. A trainer who is down to earth, hilarious, has a great playlist & is insane at brows 💗

If you’d like to be a model for this style of brow for me, please let me know 🥰🥰 (must have no previous work)

Lip blush on lips without filler 😍😍

I get asked all the time if lip blush is only for people with filler & the answer is NO! It’s perfect for those without filler who want to define their lips, add a healthy flush of colour and create the illusion of fuller lips as you can see here 👄
