What Kate does

Nine treatments and one lip package, all on the face. Brows, lip blush and eyeliner include a touch-up visit. Lip neutralization takes two to three sessions, and a brow or lash lift takes one visit. Kate does not do microblading, nanoblading, combo brows or hair strokes. Here is why.

How an appointment goes

1. Free consultation, twenty minutes. Kate looks at your skin, your face and any old work. You tell her what you want to stop doing every morning.
2. Mapping. Kate measures and draws the shape on you with a pencil. Nothing starts until you have said yes to the mirror.
3. Colour. Pigment is mixed against your skin and hair, and for lips against your own lip tone. It looks too dark on the day. It is meant to.
4. The session. Numbing cream first, then the work. Brows take about two and a half hours in total, lips and eyeliner a little less.
5. Healing and retouch. Colour peaks, flakes, fades to almost nothing, then comes back true by week four. At six to eight weeks Kate refines the shape and colour.

The shape is agreed before a single dot

Clients mention the mapping more than anything else in their reviews, sometimes with surprise. Kate measures the brow against your bone structure, draws it, photographs it, and hands you the mirror. The pencil is the last cheap moment to change your mind, so she spends the time there rather than at the correction stage.

The same rule applies to lips. Kate draws the border and shows you the colour mix before any pigment goes in. One client who had lip tattoo done five times before wrote that this was the first time anyone had shown her the shape first.

Certified, and the paper to show it

Powder and ombre instead of hair strokes

Kate lays brow pigment in as thousands of fine dots. On oily skin in Manila’s humidity, dots fade evenly and keep their shape. Hair strokes cut into the skin blur into a soft smudge within months on the same skin. That is the whole reason she does not offer microblading, and most people who arrive asking for it leave with powder brows once they have seen both drawn on. Read the full explanation, or Kate’s longer article: microblading vs powder brows on Filipino skin.

Who should wait

Pregnant or breastfeeding. Active eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or open skin on the area. Uncontrolled diabetes or a clotting disorder. Chemotherapy or radiation without a doctor’s clearance. A history of keloids. Isotretinoin in the last six to twelve months. Allergy to pigments or to lidocaine. Botox, filler or a peel on the area in the last two to four weeks. None of these ends the conversation at the consultation; most change the timing.
