You will receive everything needed for the at home/online learning (Module 1) and to continue practicing on models and clients after the completion of your class.

Module One


This is a 3-4 week at home, self-paced learning of fundamentals, technical skills, machine and needle use and knowledge, color theory, amongst many other things. You will learn how to create symmetrical and beautiful with both pencil and machine by learning techniques that ensure correct brow shape and position. I believe this is an important aspect of the training program as not every student learns at the same pace and has the same struggles.  This option allows for you not to get rushed over in a group setting before mastering each piece of the permanent makeup puzzle.  You will submit your work/levels and get constant feedback in passing each assignment. 

This process allows the student to maximize their in-person learning time and make the most of their investment!

Module Two


Small group or 1 on 1 training. This 3-5 day intense training will be hands on utilizing synthetic skin and multiple live models. Personal 1 on 1 guidance and support, catering to your own unique interests and struggles. The small class size allows the flexibility to hone the techniques and feel confident as you embark on your new lucrative career.

Permanent Makeup Training FAQs

  • The remaining balance of your class is to be paid in full before starting the ‘online/1st module’ training and at a minimum of 2 weeks before the start of your ‘in-person/2nd module’ class.
  • Cancelling within 2 weeks of your ‘in person/2nd module’ will result in the need to place a new deposit to hold an additional date.
  • A current Bloodborne Pathogens completion is required prior to ‘in person/2nd module’ training. This will need to be text/emailed to Kimberly Shooter.
  • If you choose to supply your own model(s) for training, the $100 model sitting fee will be waived for your model.  Working on a model you personally know is a great opportunity to gain extra knowledge in the healing process, daily pictures and insight to retention and touchup.
