If you’re dreaming about becoming a permanent makeup artist but feel overwhelmed by all the tools, terms, and techniques—you’re not alone.

Maybe you’ve heard words like 1RL, magnum needles, hybrid pigments, or rotary machine settings, and your brain shuts down a little. We get it. You want to learn how to do beautiful brows, lips, or eyeliner—but the tech side of PMU feels intimidating.

That’s why at 24Karat Beauty, we’ve created the perfect first step.

Let’s Get One Thing Straight—It’s Not Just About Art

Permanent makeup isn’t just about designing perfect brows or beautiful blush lips—it’s about understanding your tools and using them safely and effectively.

Think of it this way:

Choosing the wrong needle can cause trauma to your client’s skin
Using the wrong pigment can heal grey, blue, or too bold
Setting the wrong depth or speed on your machine can lead to blowouts or poor retention

If you don’t understand the why behind the tools, your results will always be inconsistent—and clients notice.

That’s Why We Created the FREE Course:
