PMU: Virtual Before/Afters Instructions
How to Take Your Photo for a Virtual Before & Afters
To ensure the best quality for your virtual before & after, please follow these guidelines when taking and submitting your photo:
✔ Clean Camera Lens – Wipe the lens on your camera before taking the photo to ensure it is clear and NOT blurry.
✔ No Filters – Do not apply any filters, as they alter the natural color and details of your face.
✔ No Shadows – Ensure even lighting across your face to avoid distortion.
✔ No Makeup – Your brows and surrounding skin should be completely bare.
✔ No Smiling – Smiling alters the natural facial shape and can distort facial features.
✔ Good Lighting – Natural sunlight is best! Stand in front of a sunny window for optimal lighting.
✔ Hair Pulled Back – Keep hair away from your face, especially around the brow/eye area.

What is a Virtual Before & After?
I offer virtual before & afters free of charge with every consultation. This gives you the opportunity to see the differences between techniques before committing to a procedure. It allows you to explore various options and gain clarity on what you like and don’t like.
You will be able to see examples of:
-
Different variations of brow techniques: Microblading, Nano Brows, Powder Brows, Combination Brows
-
&/or Different variations of eyeliner techniques: lash line enhancement, classic eyeliner
Please note:
-
These sketches are meant to showcase different techniques only—they do NOT include actual shaping.
-
Mapping and shaping are done in person during your appointment, as I need your real-time input and must be able to move your face for accurate measurements.
-
You can zoom into the photo to see details more clearly.
-
The quality of your submitted photo affects the quality of the sketches, so please follow the guidelines carefully.
