The Myth of “Golden Rule” Eyebrows Design via Face Measuring
If you, like many others, considering having your eyebrows tattooed/microbladed, the most important thing is to hire someone truly talented to do it! So how do you know who is talented and who isn't? Here is how. Do not trust anyone who design their customers' eyebrows by using an eyebrows measuring "Golden Ratio" rule or any other kind of facial measuring devise or mapping technique. The main two reasons why face measuring does not work are because our faces are not symmetrical and also because it does not take into consideration the light and eyebrows' optical illusion effect on the rest of the face. To test an optical illusion theory simply have someone else take your picture and then compare your mirror reflection with that photo...
Eyebrows should always be drawn and designed free-hand without any tools or mythological "Golden Ratio" rule. The eyebrows measuring "Golden Rule" is nothing more than just a marketing myth, a Utopian concept invented to sell an eyebrow products and services and to train makeup artists and permanent makeup technicians who have no talent, vision and, therefore, are unable to design their customers eyebrows free-hand.
During your initial consultation we will discuss different tattooing techniques, such as microblading, nanoblading, soft tap, combination (hybrid) technique, shadowing and Ombre technique. We will then determine which technique would work best with your skin type, which will help you achieve the best and longest lasting results.
Every permanent makeup technician has their favorite style. Lana's favorite style is classic, feminine and sophisticated = timeless and unaffected by short-lived hottest trends!
Lana's permanent makeup is very different from the work of other permanent makeup practitioners, because her primary goal is to correct customer's facial asymmetry and facial features which she does by re-positioning and re-designing client's eyebrows in the way that would visually correct their faces by creating an optical illusion of their eyebrow bone being different from what it actually is.
If you ask her how she does it, she probably wouldn't be able to explain, since she does not utilize any traditional facial measuring techniques. In fact, Lana does not believe in measuring faces when creating eyebrows, since people's faces are not symmetrical, therefore, measuring will always produce uneven and less than flattering results further negatively impacting client's facial symmetry by emphasizing all the negative aspects of their face, for example making their nose appear bigger and more uneven, making their eyes appear to be set closer and appear droopier and smaller.
Lana's strange and unique talent is to see what others can't and to make her customers look different, better and younger than they did before she used her "magic touch" on them. Look closer at all the "before and after" photos of her work. ... Can you see it? Would you recognize that person after their procedure?

As you browse through our " before and after" photos pay close attention to the shape and position of client's eyebrows " before" versus "after" their procedure. Notice that almost every customer had a significant change in her or his original eyebrows shape and location and how now their new eyebrows perfectly match their facial features and shape of their face. Notice that after the procedure clients always look younger, their noses look smaller and thinner, their eyes look bigger and more open, even the shape of their eyes look more or less rounded depending on what needed to be done. Also, see how it visually changed the location of their eyes, now their eyes look closer or further apart depending on what needed to be done to make their faces look more symmetrical and proportionate. Most of our clients look at least 10-20 years younger, almost like they had a face lift.
Lana's main goal is to redefine the purpose of today's permanent makeup. As of today the main purpose of permanent makeup is very simple: 24/7 makeup that doesn't wash off.
Lana is one of very few true permanent makeup artists in United States whose primary goal is not as simple as 24/7 makeup that doesn't wash off. Her main goal is to correct her clients' facial asymmetry, to underline, enhance and redefine their natural beauty, while creating a soft, sophisticated and natural looking permanent makeup.
The worst mistake one can make is to undermine the huge impact eyebrows have on our faces. They are huge part of our face and since we can't change our faces to make our eyebrows look better, then we have to change our eyebrows to make our faces look better. This is where the permanent makeup should step in, and this is why our eyebrows appointments are so long (4 to 7.5 hrs each.) It takes a lot of time, talent, effort and true desire to help people to design their perfect eyebrows, therefore, the eyebrows design is the MOST IMPORTANT part of our appointment, versus everywhere else it is the least important and fastest part of their eyebrows tattooing appointment.
Permanent makeup is an art! Talent and vision are two crucial components of every permanent makeup technician's ability to create the work of art. Can your permanent makeup technician envision the results of their work before they start? Someone with a genuine talent will not need to measure your face nor will they rely on clients to know what they want or need. Only those who has no talent need to measure their client's faces to find the " right" eyebrows location. Measuring is the worst thing a permanent makeup technician can do since our faces are not symmetrical and measuring it will only emphasize our facial asymmetry. One of many mistakes made by most permanent makeup technicians is starting their clients eyebrows at the inner corners of their eyes! What a great way to make someone's close-set eyes look even closer.
Lana is genuinely gifted; she possesses both the talent and vision. Many say that she was born to do permanent makeup, she can even draw with both hands equally well because she is ambidextrous....It's very interesting to observe Lana how she is drawing her client's right eyebrow with her left hand, and the left eyebrow with her right hand
The truth is that most technicians in this business don't have the talent, ability and vision to design and enhance their client's faces. Sadly too many people don't do their research or base their research on prices without understanding how disfiguring a badly done permanent makeup can be and how irreversible its results!
My customers represent variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds ( that is the beauty of living in Chicago!). Therefore, in my portfolio you will find wide variety of different eyebrows styles and shapes. Some you will like and some you might not. However, keep in mind that all my work is custom, designed to address, enhance and correct customer's specific facial features.
Please don't worry if you don't like someone's eyebrows featured in my portfolio, since they were custom designed for that particular client, their cultural beauty standards and their specific facial features. I guarantee that your eyebrows will be specifically designed for got your face and I will create your permanent makeup based on your specific facial features, your cultural preferences and based on what you like.
Our goal is to provide a top quality, safe and dependable service. Most of our clients are very selective people who would not entrust their face to just anyone, and so they spent years looking for the right person to do their permanent makeup.
We specialize in creating a soft and very natural look, that's never too dark, or clown- looking! It is amazing how good permanent makeup can look when it's done right!
The best thing you can do for your face when considering permanent makeup is to educate yourself about the procedure and how to find reputable permanent makeup specialist.
The time that you invest in research will directly affect your results, and it will protect you from ending up in wrong hands and becoming another victim of so-called permanent makeup nightmares. For more information, please visit our "Permanent makeup nightmares" tab.

Lana uses several tattooing techniques chosen based on her client's skin type, health status and desired outcome.
Some photos in this portfolio were taken immediately after the procedure and would show much darker and more solid looking eyebrows (not 3D yet), That happens when the powder fill technique is being used because what you see immediately after the procedure is just an external skin layer that absorbed the color and not an actual eyebrows tattoo yet.
After the external skin layer is done peeling, in 6 to 7 days, only then you will see an actual lighter and softer eyebrows tattoo color.
Try to keep in mind that in permanent and semi-permanent makeup what you see immediately after the procedure is not an actual result but just an external skin layer which absorbed some pigment that we were aiming to implant under it, into the middle skin layer, which can only be seen after the outer skin layer is completely peeled away.
Client # 87
Eyebrows tattoo - completely redesigned and reshaped eyebrows
The client did have eyebrows, unfortunately, her eyebrows were uneven and did not compliment client's face. So I did what nature didn't. I partially removed client's eyebrows in all the undesirable places and then I replaced it with my new eyebrows in all the desirable areas. If you look closely at all the other photos in my portfolios, you will notice that in most cases I redesigned, reshaped and moved clients' eyebrows..
These photos were taken immediately after the procedure, so the eyebrows don't yet look 3D however, they will look 3D when fully healed. This is what permanent makeup can do when it is planned well and is done right. It takes hours of planning, and drawing to create eyebrows that correct clients facial asymmetry and to make a significant improvement in client's overall appearance. It also takes every bit of my talent, vision and desire to make a difference in people's lives by correcting their faces by simply repositioning and redesigning their eyebrows. I can always picture the end result long before I start working with the client. I can clearly visualize their face and what it will look like when we are done. There is no formula, nor there is a secret. I just instinctively know how it should be and I can't really explain how and why I know it and why other permanent makeup technicians can't see what I see, based on all the eyebrows I repair after others...

Client # 77 Eyebrows Tattoo
Correction of facial asymmetry & droopy eye resulted from stroke (caused by stroke) without plastic surgery
A completely replaced, reshaped and redesigned left eyebrow positioned to match the right eyebrow and to create an illusion of facial symmetry and non-droopy left eye. The photo was taken immediately after the procedure, so eyebrows don't look 3D yet As you can see this client had a droopy left eye, which was very noticeable. The left eyebrow was much lower than the right eyebrow. To correct this problem I had to completely remove clients' left eyebrow hair in order to recreate a new higher eyebrow on the left side and to match it with the client's right eyebrow. It looks amazing!

Client # 35 Tattooed Eyebrows (THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER!!
After short negotiation with client and her negotiating committee(family members) we all came to mutual agreement that client's dark plum colored brow pencil (most likely it was a lip-liner turned into an eyebrows pencil) had to go! Although originally client wanted to recreate the color of her pencil (dark burgundy) she agreed to try my suggestion to go with light taupe color, which would totally compliment client's skin and hair color...It turned out simply beautiful!
Client # 33 Tattooed Eyebrows ...Perfect!
My client was so happy that she can now go back to college and participate in all sports without being afraid that she might lose her penciled eyebrows! Imagine the freedom and happiness one can obtain from one simple procedure like an eyebrow tattoo when it is done right!

Reshaped and redesigned to fit client's face . By spreading client's eyebrows I was able to make her eyes appear to be set much wider than before, which made clients face look rounder and much younger. People used to think that her son was her grandson. People no longer think that her son is her grandson! This is a perfect example of what permanent makeup can do and how it can change person's life.
