Africa-PressLesotho. Relebohile Rapulane, founder of Brow and Lash bar, also a qualified semi-permanent makeup artist tells us about her business and why it’s the finest. Any educational background regarding your work?

I am a certified lash and micro blading artist. I trained with Permanent Make Up Academy & Studio and the Designer Lash brand.

What is your background?

After completing my diploma in teaching I could not find a job so I started selling clothes. However I did all that to while away time while trying to do something I was and still am passionate about; being a makeup artist. I took the decision to go to school for it and shine so I could pursue it on a professional level.

Your profession is to enhance natural beauty.

Why this field? A bare, natural look not only allows your authenticity to shine through but it is also the best thing you can carry around. Well, ditch your morning routine and still end up looking drop-dead gorgeous.

I realized that some individuals may be struggling with make-up components such as eyebrows and that it where I laid my focus. Some people simply do not have the time.

Apart from that, I noticed no one was offering services like this particular one so I filled the gap. Now I deliver services that offer natural, long lasting results, ‘hassle-free at very affordable prices.

How long have you been in this industry and what are your successes?

I have been in this industry for 2 years and I still enjoy the challenges it brings. I started working from my living room, at present I have my own studio and I have gained a huge number of loyal clients.

Challenges you encounter and how you overcome them?

I do micro-blading, which is a new concept to many people, most people love it but are too scared to try it especially young ladies at tertiary level, who are coincidentally my target market. A platform such as this is my way of reaching out to share more about it, benefits and the aftercare.

Tell us about your product what are your services to be exact?

Well I do micro-blading which is semi-permanent eyebrow make-up that lasts for 1 year and a half. Natural lash extensions, volume lash extensions, waxing, brow tinting, brow shaping and lastly nails.

Do natural lash extensions hurt?

No they do not hurt, you actually relax and take a nap.

What are the precautions?

Just don’t apply mascara or use lash curler when you go for your appointment.

How long do natural lash extensions last?

They last for 4-6 weeks.

Moving on to micro blading, does it hurt?

NO, the pain varies from mild to none.

Does one continue to apply eyebrow pencil or is it optional?

Your eyebrows will look so natural, filled and well groomed so you will definitely ditch your eyebrow pencil.

How long does it take to heal?

When you are done with the initial appointment you look beautiful already, no need to hide your face or anything, however there is 7days healing time. I give the aftercare instructions.

Can it be done by just anyone?

Semi-permanent make-up cannot be done by any one. It is done only by professionals. People should research about artists that claim to offer this service and not just go to anyone who wants to make a quick buck.

What is your favorite part about being a make-up artist, the creation of products, working on the shows or on individuals?

The reason I do what I do is to help women feel better about themselves. There is nothing more gratifying than doing a woman’s makeup and seeing her reaction when she sees her reflection in the mirror. Every woman is beautiful in her own way – and my job is to help her see that.
