Her work
Real clients, real work
Before-and-after pairs are the honest way to judge permanent makeup. Drag the handle across each one. These clients were photographed fresh from the chair; the colour softens as it heals.
Photos shown with each client’s permission, lightly watermarked and softened below the eyes for privacy. The work itself is never retouched.

How it works
Done properly, it takes two visits
Colour softens as your skin heals, so a second visit sets the shape and depth for good. Yin will tell you exactly what to expect at each stage.
-
Free consultation
Tell Yin the look you have in mind. She’ll listen, advise honestly and map a shape that suits your face. No commitment.
-
First session
The initial application. Colour looks stronger for the first week, then softens as it heals.
-
Touch-up visit
Once everything has healed, Yin fills in anywhere the colour settled unevenly (priced separately below).
-
Yearly refresh
Optional. A quick annual top-up keeps everything looking fresh.

FAQ
Before you book
Quick answers to what clients ask most. Anything else, send Yin a question below.
Does it hurt?
Less than most people expect. You feel it, more of a scratching than anything sharp, and most clients settle in after the first few minutes. If you’re nervous, say so at the consultation and Yin will walk you through exactly what to expect.
How long does permanent makeup last?
Around two to three years for brows, depending on your skin, sun exposure and skincare. The colour fades gradually rather than all at once. A yearly refresh ($200 for brows) keeps it looking fresh if you want one.
Why does it take two visits?
Skin heals unevenly, and some spots hold colour better than others. The first session builds the shape; the touch-up visit fills anywhere that healed light once your skin has fully settled. Brow touch-ups are $70.
What will it look like right after?
Darker and sharper than the final result. The colour softens a lot over the first weeks as your skin heals. The gallery photos above were taken fresh from the chair, so expect your healed result to be softer than those.
How much does it cost?
Ombré powder brows are $295 and lip blush starts at $400. The full price list is in the section above, touch-ups included. The consultation costs nothing.
What happens at a consultation?
