1. Can you share your first experience with brow grooming?
My first brow experience was an absolute disaster! In one sitting, I went from having untouched and untamed, very full brows to very thin and overwaxed “MacDonald Arches”. They completely disappeared, and I no longer looked like me! I think I walked out of that appointment, not wanting to go in public ever again! I am sure some of you can relate.
2. What does your current brow routine look like?
My brow routine is simpler now, thanks to Lien. On work days, I use the Maybelline New York Build A Brow to fill in any gaps with hairstrokes then set it with Benefit 24 Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel. These are fabulous products for touch-ups between flights. On days off, I go back to the old faithful and original Pears soap bar and give them a style-up. This way, I always feel like my face is “dressed” for the day.

3. What does having brow confidence mean to you?
Having brow confidence means having beautiful brows that suit my face shape and always look effortlessly great. I believe our brows are the cherry on top of the cake, but for our faces!
4. How did you discover Lien?
Funny story! I found Lien through Instagram about 8 years ago after seeing Zoë Foster-Blake’s brows post. I remember contacting her and saying I know I am not a celebrity; I am just a stay-at-home mum, and I need to save my brows. Could you please help me!!! After a phone conversation, I booked flights down from Brisbane to Sydney to start this beautiful brow transformation journey - which, to this day, 8 years on, I continue to commute to see Lien, the only one to trust with my brows.

5. What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned?
Be patient in growing out your brows (luckily, mine grew back) to achieve your ultimate brow shape. Of course, everything is possible with the right products and techniques.
6. Describe your brows in three words:
Perfect, shaped, symmetrical
