I've been following Linda of Brow Avenue for a while now in Instagram. I truly admire her work, specifically the shape and intensity of brow saturation.
I had the opportunity to train with her and booked a date for a 1:1 advanced ombre training.
I didn't know what to expect or what else need to be learned. i've taken numerous online courses and she will be my 4th in-person brow instructor.
All i know is I needed help with my mapping, and a better healed retention.
When I first met Linda, she has the welcoming humble vibe that you can already feel with first impression.
She's not only beautiful but very knowledgeable too and doesnt hold barr on her best kept secrets.
I explained to her my strengths & weakness and she was able to adjust the day program to focus on the areas i need work on.
Linda helped me take the guesswork out of color selection, its ratio and the why for each pigment chosen. At first I was doubting it but in combination of her shading technique, the colors remains warm.
We did shading practice on latex and she helped adjust my strokes and how to overlap in with each pass and section. The technique she showed has proven great retention! A little adjustment goes a long way .
She also taught me how to save on supplies, and not over prepare my tray, and focus only on the most essential, making me less stress to jumble on what else is missing on my tray.
Her steps in mapping has given me a different mindset of not relying on perfect measurements for both brows, but assessing brow symmetry & how to achieve balance. I now got into the habit of asking clients if their brows looks 'balanced'.
Training with Linda, you truly get plenty of hands-on work with your model. From mapping, to doing 99% of the shading until the very last stroke.
After completing the model's brows. She showed how to have a good presentation & take nice photos for your portfolio or social.
I wish the 1 day can be extended, as I enjoyed her class a lot and i feel if we keep going, i'll learn more.
It's not the end of it all, because after the class, she is just a message away. I can still ask her questions, send her my work for 'assurance' that im doing my Ombre properly.
I've used Linda's technique to all my clients after the training, and the result is nothing but amazing!
I don't have to spend forever mapping, my shading looks more even, and the outcome made my clients happy and the artist tremendously proud.
Taking class with Linda was a brow-changing experience, and Im glad I took a leap of faith with her.
I'm very grateful to all my instructors who became my rock, my confidant & my security blanket.
I'm blessed to have supportive partner, bffs (you know who you are), family & friends who supported & put their trust in me.
Thank you so much... this is just the beginning, please continue to follow my journey
I started my journey doing PMU brows not too long ago. It wasn't planned, I just know, I wanted to do it. I diligently learned & endlessly practice to get better.
8 months later, these are my most recent work.
