With over 20 years in the beauty industry and more than 11 years specializing in permanent makeup, Carolina Halstead brings extensive experience, artistry and attention to detail to every client.
Her permanent makeup career began in Phoenix, Arizona, where she trained with leading artists and educators before traveling throughout the country assisting and training other permanent makeup professionals.
Today, Carolina brings that experience to Face Defined in Boise, Idaho. Having worked with thousands of clients across different ages, skin types and brow conditions, she understands that beautiful permanent makeup is never one-size-fits-all. Every brow is thoughtfully designed around the client's natural features, skin and desired result.
MICROBLADING DESIGNED FOR YOU.
Microblading is a permanent makeup technique designed to create natural-looking, hair-like strokes that enhance the shape and fullness of the brows.
At Face Defined, every set of brows begins with a personalized consultation and careful brow mapping. Your facial structure, natural brow growth, skin type and desired result are considered before the procedure begins.
The goal isn't to give every client the same brow. It's to create brows that look balanced, flattering and natural on you.

Microblading FAQ
-
A complete microblading appointment takes approximately 2 hours. This allows plenty of time for before-and-after photos, precise brow mapping and design, numbing, and the microblading procedure itself.
-
Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the microblading process is. A topical numbing product is used to help minimize discomfort throughout the procedure. While everyone’s sensitivity is different, most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or pressure rather than pain.
-
Microblading typically lasts 1–3 years, although results vary from person to person. Skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare products, medications, and your individual skin's retention can all affect how quickly the pigment fades. Because microblading is designed to gradually soften over time, periodic maintenance appointments can help keep your brows looking fresh and defined.
-
Yes. A follow-up appointment is an important part of the microblading process and is typically scheduled after the brows have fully healed. During this appointment, we can evaluate how your skin retained the pigment, perfect any areas that healed lighter, and make adjustments if needed. Because every person's skin heals and retains pigment differently, the 8 week follow-up helps us achieve the best possible finished result. After that, usually we’ll see you again at your annual touchup.
