PERMANENT MAKEUP

Permanent Makeup Courses For All Skill Levels 

Permanent Makeup (PMU) also called 'Micropigmentation' or 'Cosmetic Tattooing' , is a popular well-tolerated cosmetic treatment involving the controlled insertion of safe colour pigments into the epidermal layer of the skin, instantly improving appearance, facial definition and in most instances, a long lasting effect.

 

We have various training options for our Permanent Makeup Training. We offer Conversion Courses for trained Microblading Artists, Full Fundamental Permanent Makeup for complete beginners and Focus Courses for students wanting to specialise in one area of cosmetic tattooing.

OMBRE BROWS

The beauty world's latest and most popular brow trend

 

Ombré eyebrows—also known as ombré powder eyebrows—refers to a semi-permanent method of shading the brow to perfect their shape, fill in sparse areas, and create a gradient effect.

 While microblading involves hand-carving small lines into the skin to deposit semi-permanent pigment and create defined, hair-like strokes, the ombré brows technique uses a machine to create pixelated dots that create a powder-like, shaded brow.

 

We offer two options with our Ombre Brow courses - Powder Brow training for beginner students or Microshading training for qualified brow artists.

ADVANCED

Upgrade your skill set with our advanced one-on-one classes

 

After 6 years as an established training academy with a large student base. we have identified a clear need in our industry for advanced qualifications, expert training and industry skill building.

 

We have developed a range of high caliber advanced courses available to PMU artists, Microblading artists and Tattoo Artists alike. 

 

These courses are available to students who have trained through any academy, anywhere in the world.

REMOVAL

Li-FT® is the most effective saline lightening solution on the market.

Brow Boutique offers tattoo removal training to both permanent makeup artists and tattoo artists that are already machine/device trained as well as beginners training for microblading artists or beauty therapists with no previous tattoo experience.

 

Saline solution is a common, effective approach to lightening tattoos. However, it is a slower process than other treatments, this method is popular because it is much safer than other removal procedures. This service is done using the same traditional equipment (machine, needles, etc) used in the tattooing process. However, instead of pigment, this saline solution is implanted into the skin.
