Pride Beauty and Aesthetics

A little milestone I'm so proud of ✨

Today I completed my very first set of SPMU lip blush and liner, and I couldn't be happier with how far I've come already! 💋

There is still so much to learn, but I'm absolutely loving the journey and can't wait to continue developing my technique and creating beautiful results for future clients.

Fresh holiday brows for my darling

A brow lamination is the ultimate low-maintenance beauty treatment ✨

It keeps your brows lifted, fluffy and perfectly styled from pool days to dinner nights.

No brow gel needed.

Sweat-proof, beach-proof and ideal for makeup-free holiday mornings.

Wake up looking polished with minimal effort 🙌

This is why you MUST always have a patch test (every 6-12 months)

I will always patch test any lash or brow products next to the eye area, as i want to be sure there is no irritation.

This lovely client was fine for almost 10 hours after her patch test, and then woke up like this.

The biggest concern is sensitivity to ingredients like PPD (para-phenylenediamine), which is commonly used in hair and brow dyes. A person can use a tint for years and still suddenly develop an allergy. Once sensitized, reactions often get worse with future exposure.

Common reactions patch testing helps prevent:

Redness and itching

Swelling around the brows or eyelids

Burning or blistering

Rash spreading beyond the treatment area

In severe cases, breathing issues or systemic allergic reactions

Don't ever skip the patch test stage, it's really not worth it 😭
