Requirements
This course is for every professional working in facial or body dermopigmentation. Everything created with permanent makeup and corrected with paramedical work depends on colour, in all its shades, temperatures and tones, so mastering it is essential for a PMU artist. You will learn how colours shift, how stable each molecule is, how pigment migrates, how to neutralise and how to find the right mix among countless options to recreate skin colour. To take this specialisation you need a basic permanent makeup or dermoblading course or, at least, the dermopigmentation fundamentals course. It is especially useful for professionals dealing with poor work by others: understanding organic and inorganic chemistry, which is fundamental in paramedical work, saves you from buying hundreds of pigments.
