Semi Permanent Makeup
Course Overview
1-Month Home Study Plan After 5-Day Academy Course (Semi-Permanent Makeup) with Extensive Drawing Practice
This plan incorporates more drawing practice to refine your hand skills, brow design, and precision—essential for perfecting semi-permanent makeup techniques. You’ll focus on theory review, hands-on practice on latex, and daily drawing exercises to improve your strokes and artistry.
Week 1: Skin Anatomy, Color Theory, Health & Safety, and Drawing Basics
Day 1-2: Skin Anatomy and Physiology
- Review the layers of the skin (epidermis, dermis) and how they affect pigment retention.
- Study how different skin types (oily, dry, sensitive) influence results in semi-permanent makeup.
- Drawing Practice: Start by practicing brow shapes on paper. Draw different brow shapes for various face types (oval, round, square, heart-shaped).

- Drawing Practice: Draw different brows using various shading and hair stroke techniques. Practice transitioning from lighter to darker strokes.
- Homework: Create a color chart that matches specific pigments to different skin tones and undertones.
Day 5-6: Health and Safety
- Study hygiene, sanitation, and cross-contamination prevention. Review the importance of proper sterilization and workspace cleanliness.
- Drawing Practice: Practice drawing symmetrical brows by hand without using rulers. Focus on achieving symmetry freehand to improve your eye for balance.
- Homework: Write a step-by-step guide on how to sanitize tools and maintain a sterile environment for a semi-permanent makeup session.
Day 7: Quiz
- Quiz covering:
- Skin anatomy and its relevance to SPM
- Color theory and pigment selection
- Health and safety practices
- Homework Review: Study incorrect answers and review your homework for deeper understanding.
Week 2: Equipment, Techniques, Client Consultation, and Advanced Drawing Practice
Day 1-2: Tools and Equipment
- Study the various tools used for semi-permanent makeup (blades, needles, pigments, machines).
- Learn about tool maintenance, sterilization, and proper handling for precision work.
- Drawing Practice: Draw detailed brow hair strokes to mimic real hair growth patterns. Practice layering strokes for a natural effect.
- Homework: Write a guide on how to clean and maintain microblading tools after each use.
Day 3-4: Techniques Overview
- Review basic and advanced techniques such as microblading, shading, and ombre.
- Focus on how to vary pressure for different effects (light strokes for natural hair vs. denser shading).
- Drawing Practice: Create full eyebrow designs on paper using different techniques (microblading, ombre, combination brows).
- Homework: Draw five complete sets of brows for different face shapes using the techniques learned (e.g., straight brows, high arches, natural strokes).
Day 5-6: Client Consultation
- Learn how to conduct thorough client consultations, including assessing skin type and discussing client preferences.
- Study how to manage expectations and suggest the best techniques for different client goals.
- Drawing Practice: Create a consultation sheet with sample brow designs for different face types. Draw examples to show clients during consultations.
- Homework: Conduct a mock consultation with a friend or family member, explaining the different brow shapes and techniques you would recommend.
Day 7: Quiz
- Quiz covering:
- Tools and techniques (microblading, shading, ombre)
- Client consultation process
- Homework Review: Correct quiz mistakes and review brow drawings for accuracy and improvement.
Week 3: Pre-Procedure, Post-Procedure, Advanced Techniques, and Brow Mapping
Day 1-2: Pre-Procedure Care
- Study how to prepare clients before the procedure, including skin cleansing, numbing, and marking.
- Learn about contraindications and how to determine if a client is not suitable for the procedure.
- Drawing Practice: Practice brow mapping and shaping on paper. Use string, rulers, or freehand techniques to mark out symmetrical brows on different face types.
- Homework: Create a checklist of pre-procedure instructions for clients, such as avoiding caffeine or medications.
Day 3-4: Post-Procedure Care
- Learn detailed aftercare instructions for clients, focusing on healing and pigment retention.
- Study how to prevent and address common post-procedure concerns such as swelling or pigment fading.
- Drawing Practice: Continue practicing brow designs but focus on healing phases—draw how brows might look freshly done versus after healing.
- Homework: Write a detailed aftercare guide that explains what clients should expect after the procedure, including touch-ups.
Day 5-6: Practice on Latex
- Practice microblading strokes and shading on latex skins. Focus on mastering the consistency of strokes and creating symmetrical designs.
- Drawing Practice: On paper, draw brows using the mapping techniques and follow up with practice on latex to mimic the brow shapes drawn.
- Homework: Submit photos of your latex work and compare it to the ideal examples from your academy materials.
Day 7: Quiz
- Quiz covering:
- Pre- and post-procedure care
- Brow mapping and symmetry
- Practical techniques on latex
- Homework Review: Evaluate and correct any areas of difficulty.
Week 4: Lips, Eyeliner, Case Studies, and Final Drawing Practice
Day 1-2: Advanced Techniques (Lips and Eyeliner)
- Study techniques for lip blushing and eyeliner tattooing, including pigment selection and safety around sensitive areas.
- Drawing Practice: Draw lip shapes and practice color shading for natural results. Draw eyeliner designs, focusing on symmetry and even lines.
- Homework: Research common challenges in lip and eyeliner tattooing and how to solve them (e.g., color migration, uneven lines).
Day 3-4: Case Studies and Client Troubleshooting
- Review case studies involving semi-permanent makeup corrections (e.g., touch-ups, color corrections).
- Learn how to troubleshoot common client concerns and improve your technique.
- Drawing Practice: Create a portfolio of different brow, lip, and eyeliner designs you can show future clients. Draw three types of brows, two lip designs, and two eyeliner styles for your portfolio.
- Homework: Write a mock case study detailing a fictional client’s concerns and how you would address them with a specific technique.
Day 5-6: Final Practice on Models or Latex
- If possible, practice on a model (under supervision if required) to simulate the full client process from consultation to aftercare.
- Alternatively, continue practicing on latex skins, focusing on refining your techniques and stroke consistency.
- Drawing Practice: Draw a full consultation plan with brow, lip, or eyeliner designs based on a real or fictional client’s preferences.
- Homework: Take final photos of your latex work and compare them with your earlier attempts to assess progress.
Day 7: Final Quiz and Homework Submission
- Comprehensive quiz covering:
- Advanced techniques (lips, eyeliner, corrections)
- Case study analysis and client troubleshooting
- Brow mapping, pre/post care, and client management
- Homework Submission: Submit your color charts, case study, consultation sheets, and final latex practice photos for review by a mentor or peer.
This study plan focuses heavily on theory reinforcement, drawing practice, and hands-on work with latex. It will help refine your technique, ensure you have a solid understanding of the theory, and give you ample practice designing brows, lips, and eyeliner that can be applied to real clients.
