Firstly, you could make an appointment for consultation with Peggy to consult what is the look you want to achieve.               Q. Will it be natural or a dramatic look?                                                                                                                     A. There are two things to consider; Shape and Colour.                           If you have a very definite idea of what you would like to have done, I recommend that you put your make-up on, as you would normally do so at home. Then I will do the procedure following the shape and colours you have created.  If you are not so sure, I will draw the shape with non-permanent pencil on the day of procedure, once you like the result, we will discuss and decide for a color that will accentuate your features. We will also discuss of the technique that I will be using; for example for the eyebrows; I could use the method of Feathering Strokes to create very fine lines that it looks like real hair, for the eyes you could have a line for eyeliner or a dotting method where small dots are placed in between the lashes to give a fuller, thicker look.
