either the SofTap® hand tool or rotary machine in their practice.
Pre-class
Study Required – An average of 40 hours of home study is required
for on-site class preparation.
Requirements
- Beauty and medical professionals over the age of 18 and permanent
makeup technicians who have had prior training are offered this
course.
The
basic theory and technical aspects of permanent makeup and pigment
lightening removal are presented in this class agenda with a strong
focus on hands on training practices.
Once
registration is complete, students are provided with the following
pre-class study materials:
Preparing
to offer Permanent Makeup:
Students
are provided with a check- list of activities that are suggested to
either be completed, or in active process by the class date.
These activities are focused on administrative issues
associated with business requirements, i.e., elements of
preparing to offer permanent makeup.
Makeup
Design Classes
The
on-site permanent cosmetic class period must be devoted primarily to
theory, health and safety, tool usage, and the actual application of
permanent cosmetics on models.
If you are not confident in the application of makeup,
especially eyebrows, I recommend you take a makeup application class
from Rose Hill, the makeup artist for the stars. She offers a
variety of makeup application classes at convenient times in the Los
Gatos area. Her web
site is www.makeupcrew.com.
Although facial morphology in relation to permanent cosmetics is
presented in detail in class, being prepared by taking a makeup
class from Rose Hill only enhances your on-site permanent cosmetic
class experience. This is also a wonderful addition to your
advertising credentials. As
you will note on Rose Hill’s web site, she has provided makeup
services to movie stars, political dignitaries, and television and
magazine personalities.
A
Comprehensive Manual for Pre-class Study;
This
A to Z permanent makeup training manual is there for you in the
beginning, and for reference purposes during your career.
For ease of locating specific topics discussed and studied in
the industry the manual is cataloged into identifiable subjects.
A
Stretching Techniques Video:
A
systematic problem for technicians is the development of their
stretching techniques utilized during procedures. Stretching
techniques represent an element of permanent makeup procedures that
enable proper implantation of pigment into the upper dermal layer of
the skin. The Faces By
Design Stretching Techniques video is one of a kind within the
industry.

Salt
Water Tattoo Lightening/Removal Class
History:
Pigment
removal from body and cosmetic tattoos has fascinated the industry
for decades. Many
products have been tried, each promising the ability to remove ink
that has been placed under the skin without adverse affects.
As an instructor, I saw the benefits of technicians
being able to correct small indiscretions and to help others that
desired a new design, the softening of a color, or the removal of
unwanted pigment. The
primary issue was, what product should be used and who would insure
it if the product tested produced favorable results?
Early
in 2002, I and Mary Jane Haake, with the support of Susan Preston,
owner of PPIB Insurance Brokerage, the largest insurer of body and
cosmetic tattoo artists, set out to develop a protocol for the
lightening and or selected removal of tattoos.
Many products were tried, but our primary research was
focused on salt. Yes,
salt. Salt is found in the
body and as a result would eliminate the allergic and possible
skin damage concerns associated with other products being used for
pigment removal. We found that by introducing higher
concentrates of salt in comparison to those found in the cells of
the skin, this triggered a reaction under the skin called osmosis.
By
August, 2002, adequate testing, supporting documentation and
photographs associated with utilizing salt as a pigment lightener
and removal product were in place.
Our findings and protocol were presented to PPIB for
submission to Lloyds of London for consideration for insuring
technicians in our industry that wanted to offer this type of
service. In October 2002, Lloyd’s of London approved the protocol
and opened a limited $20,000.00 policy to our industry through PPIB.
Training:
To
support the industry’s need for training, I have designed a 4 hour
training presentation. The presentation supports the written
protocol, provides technical direction as to how to proceed with the
lightening and/or removal of pigment under the skin, and specific
related procedures that are not covered by the newly offered
insurance program. Certification of Attendance is included with the
$250.00 cost of the training, which when presented to PPIB, enables
the technician to obtain insurance coverage.
For those in the permanent makeup and/or tattoo industry for
less than 2 years, this class is required by PPIB before insurance
coverage can be issued.
This
presentation is being offered in several locations in the United
States. Call today for
times and locations near you.

Continuing
Education/Advanced Classes:
As
an instructor, I find that at times even though a student is well
trained in the fundamentals of permanent makeup, there are advanced
techniques for each of the three procedures, eyebrows, eyeliners and
lips, that technicians desire to learn. There may be just one
of the procedures that they wish to address on an advanced technique
level, or readdress on the fundamental level if desired. The choice
is each student's to make.
As
a result, I developed several one day classes specifically for that
purpose, to identify, address and focus on one particular procedure
from a to z introducing specialized advanced techniques not normally
studied in depth during a fundamental course.

During
this class, the words “eyebrow procedures” will take on a whole
new meaning. I suppose
to some an eyebrow by any other name is still and eyebrow, however I
believe when applied with the purpose of producing the illusion of a
complimentary design and color with texture and movement,
technicians become artists, and artists create.
Designing
Eyebrows:
Utilizing
facial morphology as a baseline for design, technicians will learn
to create eyebrow designs that result in a fresh, youthful
appearance for their clients.
Selecting
Color:
If
shape is the defining factor, color runs a close second to a
successful eyebrow procedure. Technicians
must know their pigments. Utilizing
a color matrix developed for ease of client skin tone to pigment
selection and provided in your class handouts, technicians can
become more confident in their pigment selection offerings to their
clients.
Needle
Configuration Selection:
There’s
a reason there are a host of needle configurations to choose from.
They assist in the creation of different illusions.
Your eyebrow class handout includes a list of needle
configurations that cross reference to the techniques they are most
commonly used for, thus simplifying the selection process.
Creating
Texture, Definition, and the Illusion of Movement:
Design
and color set the tone for the eyebrow to be applied.
This class takes application techniques to a higher level.
Learn to create the illusion of movement with texture
techniques of powder, shaded texture strokes, and a host of
variations of multicolored hairline stroke applications.
You
can as a technician apply eyebrows, or you can learn to apply
illusions that appear to be an eyebrow.
There is a difference….

Because
I have prospective clients that only know the realm of their own
eyeliner design, I have developed a menu of eyeliner designs to
choose from during the consultation.
This saves a lot of time when discussing eyeliner design.
Although most clients arrive with the design they prefer
applied topically, but is the one that will serve them aesthetically
the best for the longest period of time?
The skin around the eyes changes frequently and differently
around both eyes. That’s
why we are called the experts, we need to fast forward time and
apply our knowledge of the skin to the advise we offer to our
clients for eyeliner design. The
Eyeliner Class introduces you to many facets of eyeliners that you
may or may have yet to explore:
Design:
Learn
to offer a variety of dome and tapered tip placements to enhance the
size and shape of the eyes.
Color:
Color
plays an intricate part in the overall appearance of the eyeliner in
relation to the client’s eye color.
Your class handouts include a matrix of pigment selection to
client eye color that avoids trendy, and optimizes your client’s
natural eye coloring.
Needle
Selections:
Needle
configurations are to the tattoo artists as makeup brushes are to
the conventional makeup artists.
Creating the preciseness of taper tips, raised domes and the
intricate delicate lines that comprise the world of eyeliners and
lash enhancements is contingent upon the knowledge of what
configuration creates what illusion.
A matrix of needle configuration to most common use is
provided in your class handouts.
Techniques:
What
is your vision? Each
procedure should be the result of a vision of the end product, and
that vision created with specialized techniques.
Learn to create the impression of a lower eyelash root line
for those with non- existent or pale eyelashes. Thicker eyeliners
are more easily applied with a technician applied temporary template
and applied with techniques that ensure application of that design
before the template is no longer visible from procedural handling.
Shading over existing eyeliner can greatly soften the
appearance of a stark dark line across the eyelid.
These techniques and more are offered during the eyeliner
class.
