The Struggles
Every PMU Artist Knows
Guessing Which Pigments Will Actually Heal
You’ve probably mixed colors that looked perfect during the procedure, only to see them fade into something dull, uneven, or completely different weeks later. Without a strategy, every client feels like a gamble. Inside my training, I break down why pigments heal the way they do, and I give you the exact formulas I’ve refined over years of healed results, so you can stop guessing and start trusting your work.
Struggling With Color Theory in Real Life
It’s one thing to know the color wheel, it’s another to apply it on lips that are cool, warm, hyperpigmented, or scarred. Many artists get stuck when theory doesn’t match what’s in front of them. My approach is rooted in case studies from real clients across skin tones, so you can confidently adapt your artistry no matter who sits in your chair.
Not Standing Out in a Saturated Market
Social media is filled with lip blush before & afters but clients are learning to look past the filter. What makes you different isn’t just a pretty result, it’s the trust you build through healed work. By mastering pigment selection, layering, and mapping, you’ll have results that speak for themselves—and give you the confidence to raise your prices.
Feeling Alone Without Guidance
YouTube tutorials and one-day trainings can only take you so far. When questions come up after your client leaves, who do you turn to? My online course is designed with mentorship in mind: a private community, open Q&A, and lifetime access so you never feel like you’re navigating this journey alone.
The Solutions
That Set You Free
Proven Pigment Formulas You Can Trust
No more second-guessing or endless trial and error. You’ll learn my top pigment combinations, tested on real clients, across skin tones, and backed by healed photos. This means you can approach every procedure with confidence, knowing how it will look not just today, but months from now.
Real-World Color Theory Made Simple
I translate complex color science into practical steps you can apply on every client. Through case studies, videos, and healed examples, you’ll see exactly how to assess lips, choose the right pigment, and adapt when things don’t go by the book.
A Clear Path to Standing Out
By mastering healed results, not just before & afters, you’ll position yourself above the noise in a crowded industry. Clients pay more and refer more when they trust that their results will last beautifully. I show you how to create that kind of trust through your artistry.
Mentorship That Doesn’t Expire
With lifetime access, private community support, and my direct guidance, you’ll never be left wondering what to do next. Whether it’s your first client or your hundredth, you’ll always have a resource to turn to and a mentor in your corner.
Training That Pays for Itself
This isn’t about adding another certificate to your wall. It’s about raising your skill level, your client retention, and your income. My students consistently see the return on their investment through higher rates, more bookings, and stronger word-of-mouth referrals.
Review from ANGEL
"Lena is the BEST!!!!"
Lena is the BEST!!!! I absolutely love my lips. I am very precise and picky about beauty treatments and I am so happy I came across her lip blushing page @artistry_by_lena on Instagram because her work is so beautiful. I told her the color shade that I was after and she understood and delivered! My lips are naturally pale and my lip fillers made them even more pale, but Lena's magic has transformed my lips! I will post my picture of before Lena on the left and then immediately after my touch up on the right. Im in love!!! Thank you!!!!!!! She also does eyeliner tattoo and scar camouflage so I am sure I will be back soon.

Testimonials
TIFFANY
I'm obsessed with Lena and her craft! She is definitely San Diego's best lip blush artist and recommend her to everyone and will continue. Went 2 years ago and just did a touch up to freshen up the color today!
MARSI
What a great experience! I'm in love with my new eyeliner and I am blown away what a difference it makes when I'm make-up-free. I wish I would have done this a long-time ago. The office is super chic and in a great location. Lena is professional, efficient, and accommodating. I liked her work so much I scheduled another appointment for lip blush before I left.
CARLY
Her studio was bright & clean, and she was very pleasant & professional (and you can tell that she takes pride in what she does). She worked with me to pick out a shade, and took the time to explain the process and make sure I was comfortable. It was over before I knew it, and she provided clear aftercare instructions. Anddddd - me being me - I'm pretty sure I hit her up with a couple questions even after I left, and again, she was quick to reply. I went in for my touch up at the appropriate time, and once again had a great experience
SHARDE
I got lip blush done (original and follow up) and they have now fully healed so I can write an honest review. She did an excellent job. The color is subtle to outsiders (meaning people don't ask me if I got something done), but very noticeable to me. I've seen lip blush on other people by other artists and think that it looks terrible. But I'd recommend Lena to anyone!
