I have searched for months for an eyebrow tattooist as I have been painting my nearly non-existant brows for years and years.. all the services I found were not to my standard until I came across Barbara's business page. I was so impressed with her gallery photos I booked in for a consultation straight away. Her dedication and perfectionism is outstanding, she will not rest until her work is up to standard and if you're not happy with something, she will go that extra mile to correct it. Her friendly and helpful disposition has made my appointments with her very pleasant and I am SO happy with what she has done for my brows, I cannot thank her enough! I will be back soon for a re-touch. I would recommend Barbara to ANYONE who wants cosmetic tattooing, you will not be disappointed ~ Roni N
I found Barbara by searching through endless adds on line and reading all the information I could find. I decided that Barbara sounded as though she knew what she was talking about and so with some trepidation I made the call to book a consult. I should add that I am no novice having had previous experiences with both having my brows and eyelids done twice before over the years and not always with a successful outcome. I am extremely happy to report that Barbara well and truly exceeded my expectations with a superb job on both my brows and upper and lower liner. Her lovely manner, attention to detail and stylish salon make you feel safe undergoing such a process. I recommend her to all my friends who are considering having this treatment. ~ Jillian S
I had my eyebrows tattooed in 2022 and just recently returned to see Barbara to have them filled in a bit and one lengthened very slightly (face keeps changing shape of course with age). If you haven’t been to Smudgeproof and met Barbara she has a beautiful studio and is a very welcoming and an extremely knowledgeable person in her field. You will feel comfortable and assured going ahead after a thorough chat about what you would like whilst she sketches an example on your brow or lips etc. Barbara uses different techniques and is quite simply an ‘artist’. I never felt pressured at all and the initial cost includes touch up treatment a few weeks after the first session as well as aftercare antiseptic cream. If you are contemplating permanent make-up or just enhancing something, you have found the right place. You will feel great ! Highly Recommended. ~ Steph J
I choose Smudgeproof based on the ratings and reviews on here, and I was not disappointed! Barbara is all the things people mention; friendly, professional, a perfectionist and as patient as a saint! I had both eyeliner and lips coloured and I am stoked with the natural result she achieved (which is what I wanted.) Her attention to detail is second to none. 6 years ago I had the same done at a place in St Kilda and wasn’t nearly as happy with the result (or the extra $ I was charged). This won’t happen at Smudgeproof as Barbara is professional, seeks to understand exactly what you want and is upfront with what to expect. A great experience all round! ~ Alison B
I had Barbara tattoo my eyebrows, what an amazing artist she is, the outcome was absolutely perfect and they look so natural! I recieve so many lovely compliments about my eyebrows all the time. The price is extremely affordable for the amount of work that goes into have them tattooed. Barbara made me feel so comfortable and made sure I was okay at all times, but it wasn't even painful, more like a relaxation sort of experience. I would highly recommend Barbara if you are thinking about having your eyebrows, lips or even eyeliner tattooed! I promise you will be so happy with the end result, i know I definitely am! ~ Lauriana
I had my eyebrows done by Barabara over a year ago and they still look amazing and the colour she uses is top quality and holds in well. Barabara's work is exceptional and it's great to finally meet someone that understands you and is a perfectionist in her field. I have had a lot of bad eyebrows done by previous artists and now I am confident and relieved to have finally found Barbara who has not only fixed them up for me but her beautiful personality and nature will be bringing me back for future sessions. I'm a client of hers now for as long as she's a permanent make up artist.Thanks Barabara keep up the great work xxx ~ Claudia H
PATIENCE, PRECISION, PERFECTION! I came to Smudgeproof Inc in need of some significant correction work on my previously tattooed eyebrows. After a long consultation with Barbara, where we talked about how to correct my brows and what my expectations could be, I can happily say I am well on my way to achieving the look I desired originally! Barbara has a keen eye for detail and this reflects in her commitment to 100% client satisfaction. Her lovely nature and gentle manner leave you feeling comfortable and assured. I would not go anywhere else! ~ S L
Barbara has many years of experience in her work, which leads to a natural expertise that only experience, professionalism and dedication to perfection can bring to a consult. I am extremely happy with her work, her ability to know how to bring out the best color in lips, her great tips on reducing down time, her attention to detail and of course great skill and patience with precision work. Thanks so much Barbara, I recommend you to anyone with great confidence that you will perform amazing work! ~ Kim W
Barb is absolutely fantastic! She’s a true professional — warm, detail-oriented, and so easy to work with. My boyfriend recently had his eyebrows microbladed with her, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She took the time to shape and balance them perfectly, and her precision really shows. They’re still in the early days of healing, but already look amazing. We’re so impressed and excited to see the final result. Highly recommend Barb for anyone considering microblading! ~ Ilesha P
Barbara was AMAZING. She is meticulous and makes sure you see the progress as she goes. She caters very well to perfectionists! I had a bad experience with a different tattooist and she fixed mine up extremely well. People have asked me how I get my eyeliner so perfect and when I tell them it's permanent they can't believe it. Thank you so much Barbara. I've had my top eyeliner for over a year now and I'm still loving it 😄 ~ Emily W
I would recommend anyone wanting to have tattooed eyebrows or needing correction work to come and see Barbara. I am absolutely delighted with my new look brows and this was achieved after a thorough and lengthy initial consultation where Barbara made me feel that she listened to me and completely understood what I wanted. Her work is outstanding and definitely does not disappoint. I just wish I had met Barbara first! Will be a life long client. ~ Lisa B

Barbara at Smudgeproof Inc is fantastic. Her professionalism and attention to detail are outstanding, and the results speak for themselves. She is an absolute perfectionist and took the time to ensure I was 100% happy with my eyebrows. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality work! ~ Emily W
I'm so very happy with my eyebrows, it's changed my life. No more eyebrow pencil, no smudging on hot days, so many compliments from friends as well as strangers. The main thing people say is they can't tell they're tattooed, they look so natural. Barbara is an amazing artiste! Don't go to anyone else! ~ Jane W
Barbara is incredible, I had my eyebrows micro bladed, she knew exactly what would work with my face & talked me through the process thoroughly from our initial consultation to our final and follow-up appointment. I cannot recommend her high enough. I’m still so happy with my eyebrows. Thanks again Barbara. ~ Leah T

And she really is an artist, giving amazingly natural, realistic results. I'm so happy I found her, and would recommend anyone to go see her! You won't regret it. ~ Lydia S
Barbara was amazing. I had permanent make up done previously but was unhappy. I did my research and found Barbara. There is nothing I could fault. She did such an amazing job and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. Both eyebrows and top eyeliner. She's a genius! Lauren x ~ Brayden B
Barbara is an expert and my experience with having both my eyebrows and eyeliner done was excellent. I would highly recommend her as a superb professional and an empathetic beauty therapist. I cannot recommend her highly enough. ~ Jackie R
Barbara is amazing. I found her in a web search, and decided to go with her as she displayed prices and pics, I didn't have to email or ring for prices. Her customer service is amazing, and she is a perfectionist at her work. Highly recommend! 👌🏼👍😁 ~ Shayna (
I get my eyebrows tattooed by Barbara and I would definetely recommend her! You can tell she is very experienced and she is a perfectionist, she takes her time to get it just perfect. She is also a lovely person! I am very happy with my results. ~ Julia K
Wonderful, no pain, I have had two eyebrow tattoos elsewhere in the past that were very painful and did not look fabulous. Detailed explanation throughout entire process. A perfectionist and an artist in her profession. Highly recommended. ~ ketita d
