At Everlasting Atelier, we are passionate about our Artists and love to hear their amazing success stories! This month we spoke to Lash Lift Royalty, Kellie-Anne Louise, Founder of Pretty Eyes By Kellianne in Brisbane, Australia. Kellie-Anne is a multi award-winning International Lash & Brow Artist who has been taking the industry by storm with her incredible work.
From studying the art of Brows and Lashes to being crowned the Elleebana Global Lash Lift Artist of the Year, Kellie-Anne discusses her career highlights, the importance of undertaking certified training courses and how she enjoyed mingling with the stars at the Emmy Awards in LA.
What career did you undertake before you entered the Lash & Brow Industry?
I decided to get involved in Hairdressing when I finished school. However, I didn’t really enjoy it, so I decided to move into the Beauty Industry concentrating on the art of Brows and Lashes.
What inspired you to become a Lash & Brow Artist?
I love being creative and it’s amazing the POWER a Brow Sculpt/Lamination, Lash Lift or Lash extensions can do! I love feeling like I can give someone that extra confidence within themselves!
Why did you choose to work with Elleebana?
I chose to work with Elleebana products because of all the AMAZING reviews and results I saw from other Artists around the world!
What training courses did you undertake with Elleebana? How has it benefitted your career?
I have completed both the Elleebana Lash Lift and Profusion Brow Lamination courses. It has helped boost my confidence in performing both services on my clients to ensure they keep returning year after year.
How long have you been working in the Lash & Brow Industry?
I have been working in the Brow and Lash Industry for 14 years now.
How many Lash Lifts do you undertake per day?
I undertake around 2-3 Lash Lifts per day.
What do you love about your job?
I love being a Lash & Brow Artist, as I can make my clients look and feel amazing about themselves!
What has been your key career highlight as a Lash & Brow Artist?
My career highlight was winning a L’Oréal Lash/Eye Makeup competition in 2016. I won a trip to LA in the USA to attend the “68th Annual Emmy Awards”, where I was lucky enough to mingle with celebrities and have a selfie with Jimmy Fallon! It was such an exciting time!

How is life different now you are a world recognised Lash & Brow Artist?

As a result of this, I have been able to share my experience and help other artists with their questions, which has also been very rewarding for me personally too.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years’ time?
I’m currently working on and hope to have an Online Lash Lift and Brow Lamination Masterclass available worldwide for all Artists to access.
What is the best career advice you can give to new artists entering the Lash & Brow industry?
The best advice I can give to new artists entering the Lash & Brow industry is to make sure you get Certified before performing any Lash or Brow service. The proper training will give you so much confidence and keep your clientele returning year after year!
