​If you're considering eyebrow tattooing or microblading, the most crucial factor is finding a truly talented artist. But how can you tell who has the skills to create natural-looking, flattering eyebrows?

​Here's a key tip:

Beware of artists who rely heavily on measuring and mapping tools. While these tools might seem precise, they can lead to cookie-cutter results that don't suit your unique facial features. True artistry lies in the ability to assess your individual face shape, bone structure, and natural brow growth to design eyebrows that enhance your overall appearance.
The myth of the "Golden Ratio":
You might have heard of the "Golden Ratio" for eyebrows. This concept was popularized as a marketing tactic by Anastasia Company, but it doesn't account for the nuances of individual faces and can result in unnatural-looking brows.
Instead, look for an artist who:

• Takes a personalized approach: They should carefully analyze your facial features and discuss your desired outcome before starting the procedure.
• Has a strong portfolio: Review their previous work to see if their style aligns with your preferences.
• Prioritizes artistry over rigid measurements: A skilled artist will use their expertise to create eyebrows that complement your unique beauty.

​Lana's Revolutionary "Whole Face" Approach to Eyebrow Design

What truly distinguishes Lana's work is her revolutionary "whole face" approach. While other permanent makeup artists focus solely on creating lasting color, Lana goes far beyond. She views permanent makeup as a tool to enhance your overall facial aesthetics, with a keen focus on correcting asymmetry and achieving natural-looking beauty.
The Limitations of Traditional Methods
Many eyebrow artists rely on measuring tools and the so-called "Golden Ratio" to design eyebrows. However, this approach ignores a fundamental truth: human faces are inherently asymmetrical.

• Facial asymmetry: Our skulls, eyebrow bones, and even eye shapes are often uneven.
• Dynamic movement: The position of our eyebrows changes constantly due to facial muscle control, expressions, and even our posture.

Relying on rigid measurements fails to account for these nuances, often resulting in eyebrows that look unnatural, uneven, or even age the face.
Lana's Ambidextrous Artistry
Lana possesses a rare gift: ambidexterity. This allows her to draw your left eyebrow with her right hand and your right eyebrow with her left, maintaining a consistent frontal perspective and achieving exceptional symmetry. This, combined with her deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics, enables her to create eyebrows that truly complement your unique features.
Beyond Expectations
Lana doesn't simply fulfill your requests; she elevates them. She takes the time to analyze your facial structure, understand your desired outcome, and then uses her expertise to design eyebrows that exceed your expectations. This personalized approach is why Lana's appointments typically take longer than average – she dedicates herself to crafting the perfect brows for you.

The Illusion of Perfection: Why Eyebrow Measuring Fails

Many permanent makeup technicians rely on measuring tools and the "Golden Ratio" to design eyebrows. However, this approach is fundamentally flawed for two key reasons:

1. Facial Asymmetry: Human faces are naturally asymmetrical. Measuring a 3D face with 1D tools ignores this reality and often results in eyebrows that accentuate imbalances rather than correcting them.
2. Optical Illusions: Eyebrows play a crucial role in facial perception. Their position, shape, and color interact with light and shadow to create optical illusions that affect how we perceive the entire face. Traditional measuring methods fail to account for these complex visual effects.

The "Golden Ratio" Myth
The "Golden Ratio" for eyebrows is a marketing ploy, not a scientific principle. It's a rigid concept that disregards the unique characteristics of each individual's face. True artistry lies in the ability to freehand design eyebrows that harmonize with the overall facial structure, not conform to arbitrary measurements.
The Problem with Online Portfolios
Don't be fooled by heavily filtered and edited photos in online portfolios. Many technicians showcase only side views or close-ups, which hide asymmetries and don't reflect how the eyebrows will look in real life.
The Truth About Microblading
Despite the hype, microblading often leads to uneven results, skin damage, and a shorter lifespan compared to other techniques like Soft Tap powdering. Lana has seen countless clients seeking correction for poorly executed microblading, reinforcing her belief that it's a flawed method.
Lana's Approach: Artistry Over Measurement
Lana's "whole face" approach transcends the limitations of measuring tools and the "Golden Ratio." She understands the complexities of facial asymmetry and optical illusions, using her artistic eye and ambidextrous skills to create eyebrows that enhance your natural beauty.
Choose Wisely
Permanent makeup is a long-term commitment. Do your research, choose a skilled artist who prioritizes artistry over measurement, and opt for techniques like Soft Tap powdering for superior results.

Discover the Artistry of Ambidextrous Eyebrow Design

Lana Schluter's exceptional permanent makeup skills are sought after by discerning clients, including top plastic surgeons, physicians, and even high-profile public figures. What sets Lana apart? Her medical training (Magna Cum Laude from Loyola University) combined with a rare and invaluable talent: ambidexterity.
Why Ambidexterity Matters
When it comes to designing eyebrows, an ambidextrous artist possesses a unique advantage. By using both hands intuitively – the right hand for the left eyebrow and the left hand for the right – Lana achieves an unparalleled level of facial symmetry and balance. This freehand approach, guided by her innate understanding of facial aesthetics, surpasses the limitations of measuring tools and rigid techniques.
The Ambidextrous Difference
No amount of training or reliance on "Golden Ratio" measurements can replicate the results achieved by an ambidextrous artist. Lana's ability to seamlessly switch between hands allows her to create eyebrows that truly complement your unique facial structure, resulting in a naturally harmonious and beautiful look.
Experience the Transformation
During your appointment with Lana, you'll witness her ambidextrous artistry firsthand. As she designs your eyebrows using both hands, you'll see a remarkable difference – a look you may have never imagined possible.

The Art of Transformation: Why Lana's Approach is Different

​Permanent makeup is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it's an art form. It's about enhancing your natural beauty, correcting asymmetries, and creating a look that makes you feel confident and radiant. Unfortunately, many technicians prioritize speed and profit over artistry and client satisfaction.
The Dangers of Rushing Perfection
Beware of short appointment times and rushed procedures. Creating beautiful, balanced permanent makeup requires meticulous planning, careful color selection, and a deep understanding of facial aesthetics. Lana dedicates ample time to each client, ensuring that every detail is perfect.
The Importance of Artistry
Anyone can learn the technical skills of tattooing, but true artistry is a rare gift. Lana possesses an innate ability to envision the ideal eyebrow shape, color, and placement for each individual. She doesn't simply follow trends or fulfill requests; she creates a masterpiece that complements your unique features.
The Power of Transformation
Lana's "whole face" approach goes beyond simply replacing missing eyebrows. She strategically redesigns your brows to create an optical illusion of symmetry, balance, and youthfulness. Her work can dramatically transform your appearance, making you look and feel your best.
Why Lana Stands Out

• Meticulous Attention to Detail: Lana spends hours with each client, ensuring that every aspect of the design and color is perfect.
• Unparalleled Artistry: Lana's innate talent and ambidextrous skills allow her to create eyebrows that are both beautiful and balanced.
• Commitment to Quality: Lana prioritizes quality over quantity, dedicating herself to achieving exceptional results for every client.

Choose the Path to Perfection
If you're seeking a transformative experience and are unwilling to compromise on quality, Lana is the artist for you. She is trusted by discerning clients, including many in the medical and beauty industries, who demand the very best.
