About London Brows & Lashes
Kim Filion
Founder • Lash Artist • Product Developer
Founded in 2013, London Brows & Lashes grew from my work as a practicing lash artist and my determination to solve the problems I encountered behind the lash bed.
My background has always combined creativity with problem solving. Before entering the beauty industry, I spent 18 years in fashion design and later earned a degree in mathematics. When I became an esthetician, that same curiosity led me beyond simply using the products available to me — I wanted to understand why they worked, why they sometimes didn’t, and how they could be better.
That approach became especially important with lash adhesive. Working in changing environmental conditions showed me how dramatically humidity could affect adhesive performance. I began testing adhesives from around the world, using a hygrometer to understand my working environment and developing solutions for different humidity conditions.
That research ultimately became part of the London Brows product line, including our clear adhesive — developed in my working studio and used for both brow and lash applications long before clear lash adhesive became commonplace in the industry.
Today I continue to work with clients while developing professional lash products based on the same principle London Brows began with: solve real problems for working artists.

PRODUCT INNOVATION
CLEAR LASH ADHESIVE
Developed in our working studio after extensive testing of adhesives from around the world. Our clear adhesive was created for professional lash and brow applications and became part of the London Brows product line in the early years of the company.
HUMIDITY-SPECIFIC ADHESIVES
Working in changing environmental conditions revealed how dramatically humidity affects adhesive performance. London Brows developed separate adhesive solutions for high and low humidity conditions and taught artists to use a hygrometer to identify their working environment and select the appropriate adhesive.
BROW EXTENSIONS
London Brows was an early pioneer of professional brow extensions, using individual hairs to recreate and restore natural-looking brows. Our clear adhesive became an essential part of the technique, allowing extensions to be applied discreetly to both existing brow hair and skin.
