Welcome to Lilypad Cosmetica!
My name is Ana, and I was born with glitter in my veins.
I've had a frenzied obsession with makeup ever since I can remember, spending countless hours in front of the mirror, perfecting the winged liner, the smokey eye, tweezing my brows to oblivion, sculpting and shaping. My unhealthy fixation eventually led me to do wedding makeup, photoshoots and live shows.
Having gone tweezer-happy during my second year of high school left me without eyebrows. They just refused to grow. I tried every single growth solution, inexpensive and otherwise, but it seemed I was destined to filling them with various powders, liners, shadows and pencils. I got very proficient at making them look fantastic, but it would take more time than I had in the morning. After about 9 years of filling them in, I had had enough! I did my research and opted for permanent makeup. It took some time to talk myself into it. Anything with the word "permanent" troubled me.
After my eyebrow procedure, I couldn't be happier! I could go swimming, enjoy vigorous exercise, rub my face and still have them stay right where they are! And best of all, I saved an enormous amount of time in the morning!
My brows changed my life and inspired me to take my makeup mania to the next level. Permanent cosmetics proved to be a natural next step. Exhaustive research led me to Micropigmentation Centre, where I completed their comprehensive training. Along with hands on procedures and academic knowledge of colour theory, the Centre inaugurated sterilization and anesthetics, cross contamination and universal precautions.
As I fine-tuned my skills, I found I was excited most by repairing eyebrows. I decided to further my obsession and went to Switzerland and then Los Angeles. Both experiences provided incredible opportunities to hone my craft and further my expertise. They were also a violent push towards the eyebrow - the one thing I had struggled with for so long.
I'm all about the eyebrow. No other facial feature is quite as significant. By merely changing the shape, we can transform the entire face structure. With the right shape and size, the eyebrow will give you an instant face lift, widen and enlarge your eyes and really emphasize your features. The principal indicator of emotion and expression, the eyebrows can speak volumes. Let me make sure yours are conveying the right message!
