A simple way into Permanent Makeup

Realistically, the plumbing take a slow morning; everything else on this site assumes you have them. You do not need prior knowledge here — that is the whole point of the first principles, and why most people start there.

Day-one steps in Permanent Makeup

Honestly, our beginner breakdowns on Permanent Makeup assume nothing and are written to be read one after another. Broadly, warm up on the core ideas: dull, load-bearing, and the reason later shortcuts make sense. For what it is worth, skipping the basics in Permanent Makeup feels like progress right up until something breaks and no newcomer can say why.

What to compare in advance of when you make the move

Common Permanent Makeup mistakes
