Poet Social Series: Beauty & Confidence During Quarantine

Wow, I almost forgot about this whole thing getting saved and shared! And a whopping three views as of today! haha

I was so excited about doing this live tutorial but man was I SUPER nervous. And now, here’s record of it all!

This was the first month or so of the COVID-19 Safer at Home measures in LA. I moved in with my parents, my brother, and his girlfriend when everything happened. I was so nervous to leave my parents to their own devices. Would they social distance? Would they refuse to quit their jobs? Living there was the only way I could make sure they were absolutely safe. When we learned more about COVID-19, transmission risks, and felt my parents truly understood the gravity of situation, I moved back home with my husband.

Rewatching this video now, I could see how nervous I was. , I can’t guarantee I didn’t switch up or miss certain brow mapping details…

One day, I hope I can get on camera with so much confidence I don’t forget or stumble over my words.

Ley showed Poets a full brow tutorial - from framing, to cleaning up extra hairs, trimming, and filling - with examples on both a female and male model. She also gave participants helpful information on the permanent forms of brow care like micro blading and her specialty, Ombre Powder.

Ley currently works in the small business financing sector full-time, but after hours she is a licensed certified permanent makeup artist at the Browink Studio and Academy. Ley specializes in Ombre Powder, an alternative to micro blading, and has worked on over 100 faces. Brow mapping is an essential part of the process where you take your natural features and proportions into account in order to draw the perfect brows to frame your face.
