Meet Marina, the heart behind Sweetheart
Sweetheart was created to support permanent make-up artists with beautifully designed practice skins that make learning feel inspiring, comforting and confidence-building.
I’m Marina, the heart and hands behind Sweetheart. For eleven years, I called Zambia home. Returning to South Africa after so long — and in the middle of one of the most challenging seasons of my life — I found myself searching for a new purpose. That’s when Sweetheart was born.
When I set out to improve my skills as a permanent make-up artist, I couldn’t find the kind of flat practice skins I needed, especially for delicate eyeliner work. I knew how nerve-racking PMU procedures can feel, and I wanted to create something that made training less intimidating, more inspiring and truly enjoyable.
Sweetheart is my way of helping artists like you fall in love with practice. I design innovative, detailed and realistic practice skins for eyeliner, brows and lips — tools that spark creativity, strengthen muscle memory and build your confidence with every stroke.
At the heart of every product is a simple promise: to help you feel like a rockstar every time you pick up your machine. Because when you’re confident in your craft, everything really is going to be okay, sweetheart.
Take your time, trust your hands, and let the learning be gentle.
Sweetheart is here to make practice feel less pressured and more beautiful. Whether you are practising brows, lips or eyeliner, our goal is to help you build confidence with every stroke.
Because when you love your practice, your clients will love your work — and everything’s going to be okay, sweetheart.
