Let’s dive into the five key steps to becoming a certified permanent makeup artist…

Understanding Permanent Makeup

Before starting training courses, it’s crucial to study and understand permanent / semi-permanent makeup. Techniques involve microblading, lip blush, and eyeliner tattooing.

These methods enhance natural features and reduce the need for daily makeup application which helps to save your future clients time, money, and effort.

Permanent makeup is not just about applying pigment to the skin—it requires a deep understanding of skin anatomy, colour theory, pigment selection, and healing processes.

Additionally, staying informed about potential risks, contraindications, and proper aftercare ensures high-quality results and client safety. It’s always recommended to familiarise yourself with this information beforehand.

Choose the Right Training Provider

Selecting the right training provider is a crucial step in becoming a successful permanent makeup artist.

It’s important to learn from experienced professionals who offer high-quality education, hands-on practice, and ongoing support. Kristina Bradley is one of the best choices in the industry.

Here are a few things to look out for when choosing a suitable training provider:

• Comprehensive Courses – It’s important that your chosen provider provides comprehensive courses to ensure they offer exactly what you’re looking for. We provide lip blush, eyeliner tattooing, and advanced SPMU methods.

• In-person training – Nothing beats in-person training with live models and expert supervision.

• Accredited & reputable – Ensure your provider is accredited and reputable. Our training courses are accredited by ABT (Associated Beauty Therapists), a leading membership and insurance provider for beauty professionals in the UK.

• Ongoing Support & Mentorship – Students benefit from post-course support, which helps them transition smoothly into their careers.

Choose the Right Training Course

Now you’ve selected an award-winning and accredited training provider, the next step to becoming a certified permanent makeup artist is to specialise in an area of SPMU that appeals to you the most. Ideally, you’ll select a specific course or a combination of courses that you have the most interest in and desire to learn as that’s how you’ll succeed and become certified.

Three main courses you can select from include:

• Ombre/Powder Brows – A soft, shaded effect that mimics the look of filled-in brows, ideal for those wanting a more defined shape.
• Lip Blush – A semi-permanent lip tinting procedure that enhances the natural colour and shape of the lips, providing a youthful, fuller appearance.
• Eyeliner Tattooing – This technique involves applying pigment along the lash line to create a subtle enhancement or a bold, defined eyeliner look.
