Hi, I’m Carolina
People often ask how I ended up in permanent makeup, and they’re surprised when I tell them I spent over a decade in the administrative world before this. I moved from one office job to another, chasing financial stability but never feeling fulfilled.
After having my first child, I struggled quietly with the baby blues and the thought of leaving her for a job where I felt replaceable. One sleepless night, I stumbled upon a microblading video — and something in me clicked. The idea of helping women regain confidence through something so detailed and creative instantly drew me in.
I found a school offering a 6-day intensive course, waited months for my spot, and finally took the leap. I quit my job, focused on raising my daughter, and prepared for a new chapter. I completed my permanent makeup training in 2015, and though I was excited, starting a business felt daunting.
I took another office role — eventually becoming a People & Culture Manager at a digital publication company — but my creative side kept calling. I missed working with my hands, connecting with people, and building something that was mine.
I wanted my own freedom... The freedom to do the kind of work I wanted, how I wanted, and be able to have a schedule that fit around my family, not the other way around.
So I started small. Late nights, early mornings, balancing a toddler, ordering supplies, designing my logo, and slowly building Arch & Point. It wasn’t easy, but once I took that first step, everything started to align.
Fast forward to today — I’m a proud mom of two, a business owner, and now mentoring others who want to enter this field. Every challenge was worth it. When my kids visit me at the studio and their faces light up, I know I made the right choice.
I don’t know exactly where the road will lead, but I’m excited to keep growing, creating, and helping others feel their best — one brow at a time.
