GREEN BROWS?! 👀 Yep. And simply putting brown over them isn’t the answer.

Old permanent makeup can shift into unwanted tones as it fades and when that happens, color theory matters.

Her previous brow pigment had faded to a very cool green tone. Rather than simply covering it with brown, we used corrective warmth to begin neutralizing that unwanted color and bring her brows back toward a more natural, balanced brown.

And yes, the warmth you see immediately after is intentional. Fresh corrective work is not the final healed color. As her brows heal, that warmth will soften and the color will continue to settle.

Brow corrections are honestly one of my favorite services to offer because every case is different. Existing pigment, saturation, skin tone, undertones and brow shape all have to be evaluated to determine whether we can correct the existing work or if removal should come first.

If your old permanent makeup has turned gray, blue, green, red or simply isn’t a color you love anymore, let’s take a look at it. 🤎

Today is emotional.

Really fu***ng emotional.

After 16 months, I can finally say it:

I finished my apprenticeship.

I could have posted a beautiful photo today with a polished caption about hard work, perseverance and chasing dreams.

And all of that would be true.

But it wouldn’t be the whole truth.

And if there is one thing I have always wanted Be Envied — and this little corner of social media — to be, it’s real.

Social media gives us the ability to be whoever we want people to believe we are.

We can show the wins and hide the losses.
Show the confidence and hide the self-doubt.
Show the beautiful business and hide what it took to build it.
Show the finished product and leave out everything that nearly broke us along the way.

I don’t want to do that.

There will never be a perfectly curated, everything-is-wonderful version of me here.

No fakeness. No pretending. Just me.

The truth is that these 16 months were some of the hardest, most complicated, heartbreaking and transformative months of my life.

There were days I was grieving.

Days I was scared.

Days I was angry.

Days I questioned my work, my decisions, my ability and whether I belonged in this industry at all.

There were days when what was happening in my personal life made completing an apprenticeship feel incredibly insignificant.

And there were days when finishing it was the one thing I absolutely refused to let life take away from me.

So I kept going.

Sometimes confidently.

Sometimes stubbornly.

Sometimes crying.

Sometimes completely exhausted.

But I kept going.

For the last eight months of this journey, that also meant getting in my car and driving six hours round trip, four or five days a week, to serve clients and complete the hours I needed to finish.

And today, after everything you’re about to swipe through…

I fu***ng finished.

I’m not sharing any of this because I want sympathy.

I’m sharing it because the woman in this picture didn’t get here untouched by life.

She got here because she kept showing up while life was happening.

I’m proud of the artist I’ve become.

I’m proud of the studio I’ve built.

But today, more than anything, I’m proud of me.

For not quitting.

For rebuilding when things fell apart.

For continuing when my confidence disappeared.

For getting back in the car and making the drive again.

For allowing myself to be a beginner.

For learning.

For fu***ng up.

For getting better.

For finishing what I started.

And then there are the people I could never leave out of this story.

Every single person who sat in my chair during these 16 months and trusted me.

You trusted me with your faces, your skin, your stories and my still-learning hands.

You gave me something no classroom or training manual ever could.

You gave me the opportunity to become an artist.

Some of you drove hours to get to me. Some of you came back again and again. Some of you sat patiently while I took forever mapping. 😂 Some of you encouraged me on days when I was questioning myself far more than you probably ever knew.

You weren’t just appointments.

You weren’t just hours in an apprenticeship log.

And you weren’t just people I practiced on so I could get to the next chapter.

You are part of the foundation that built me.

You helped shape the artist I became. You helped shape Be Envied. And you helped build the foundation of the studio I get to walk into today and call mine.

I will never forget that.

In fact, I’m going to make sure I don’t.

There will be a wall inside Be Envied honoring the people who trusted me during this journey — your photographs and your names — because I want the history of this place to include the people who helped make it possible.

Years from now, no matter how much Be Envied grows, you will forever be part of its foundation.

You believed in me while I was still learning how to believe in myself.

There aren’t adequate words for what that means to me.

These 200 hours represent so much more than a requirement on a piece of paper.

They represent 16 months of grief, fear, sacrifice, mistakes, growth, resilience, incredible people and a version of myself I didn’t know existed yet.

So today, I’m letting myself feel all of it.

The grief.
The relief.
The exhaustion.
The pride.
The gratitude.

And maybe a few tears.

Okay… probably a lot of fu***ng tears. 🥹

The apprenticeship chapter is officially over.

I made it.

And now?

I get to build Be Envied. 🖤

And a special thank you to Nikole Larson for capturing this chapter of me so perfectly, and for the beautiful space that brought this vision to life. 🖤
