Artistry by Lena

Artistry by Lena is a permanent makeup studio in San Diego run by owner and artist Lena Shakuto. Its main focus is lip blush and eyeliner tattooing. Lip services include an initial lip blush session, dark lip correction (neutralization) and a color refresher. Eyeliner can be done as an upper winged liner, a dusty liner, a lash liner, or an upper and lower combo, and a lash enhancement service is also listed. A touch up is offered for any service, and the lip aftercare page says the first touch up should be booked 6 to 12 weeks after the procedure. Each treatment starts with a consultation about the look the client wants. The studio describes the procedures as relatively painless and says lip blush usually takes about 2 hours, while eyeliner takes 1 to 2 hours.

She holds certificates in Powder Brows, Lip Blush, Eyeliner, Pigment Lightening and Scar Camouflage, and she has 7+ years in the beauty industry.
