Owner/Trainer/Master Artist
Founder of Re:Pigment.Me Beauty Studio “fell in love at first sight” with Microblading after working as a makeup artist for over 5 years in 2016. The idea of ‘waking up with perfect eyebrows every morning’ and helping women like you to reduce the often-frustrating morning ritual of preening. It felt to her like a valuable contribution to the often rushed & hectic lives that modern women endure.
After getting her basic permanent makeup training at Esthetic Institute and receiving her permanent cosmetics tattoo license in the state of Virginia she decided to train with the best Microblading academy in the world at the time – PhiBrows. That’s when she became the very first PhiBrows certified Microblading artist in the state of Virginia in 2016.
When Marina learned that Microblading technique is not the best option for her clients, she took an advance “Nano Brows” training with the best in the industry trainer Mary Ritcherson, Tampa, Florida and another one-on-one advance training with world known Monica Ivani in Dublin, Ireland.
In 2017 Marina went to Ukraine to get trained in “Powder Brows” and “Lip Blush Tattoo” with Viktoriya Kushnir, winner of The International Open Championship of Permanent Makeup.
In 2018 Marina took an advanced Microblading training with Katie Dang, Chicago as well as the Areola Reconstruction & Scar Camouflage training with Amazink Areola, Poland and Scalp Micropigmentation training with Adi Schendel, Israel.
In 2019 Marina went back to Ukraine and completed more advanced training classes with top artists & attended a big International PMU Conference.
In 2020, right before the lockdown Marina trained with a Lip Queen herself, Nadine Lombard, South Africa with her signature Lipstick Look Technique.
During 2020 Marina took a handful of online masterclasses in various techniques due to travel restrictions and inability to travel in person.
In 2021 Marina opened her own academy and started teaching her own advanced & beginner’s Powder/Ombré Brows classes.
