high quality training
Micropigmentation requires a lot of skill and commitment to achieve perfection, and therefore high quality training is vital, and something that theUKhas become renowned forwithin beauty circles.
“Increasing pressure fromHealth and Safety demanding exceptionally high standards and organisations such asHABIA, has put the UKfirmly on the globalmap as the leaders and innovators in permanentmake-up procedures and training providers,” says Andrew.
“Iwould advise anyonewishing to embark on a journey inMicropigmentation to do their research thoroughly and choose one of the reputable training providers as the demand forA1 technicians is extremely high. Cheap can end up costing you somuch more in the long
run.At Smudge-Freewe offer aTrial Lessonwhereby you can come in for amorning or an afternoon andwe conduct a training session on simulated skins to see if you have the hidden talent and the aptitude.”
“I train people fromallwalks of life, all ages and levels of experience,” saysKaty. “From salon owners, beauty therapists, nail technicians,make-up artists toworld famous tattoo artists looking to add permanent make-up to their skill set.
“Recentlymany ofmy training enquiries have been fromnewmumswanting to earn goodmoney, butwho onlywant towork part timewhen it suits themaround their family or ladies in jobs that they no longer have a passion for,whowant a complete career change.”
Sowhen choosing a training provider,what are the key things to consider? “It pays dividends to do a bit of research into not only the company you are thinking of completing your trainingwith, but also, even more importantly,who they themselveswill be using as your potential trainer,” advises Katy.
“There are lots of companies and individuals offering permanentmake-up training and their priceswidely vary. This is very important because the difference in quality can be huge.Will [the trainer] be aMaster Practitioner, the founder of the company, their head trainer orwill it be someone they employ every nowand again to helpwith training courses?”

If you’re going to do something, it’s worth doing
properly.That’s always beenmymantra in relation to wearingmake-up. I’d never been one of those girls who could leave the house with just a slick ofmascara and lipgloss, instead opting to spend time applying a whole face ofmake-up, including aiming to achieve an intense eyeliner which, more often than not, smudged into unattractive panda eyes by the end of the day. That was until I discovered Debra Robson’s new iPower treatment.
Developed by Debra herself, and offered at her Harley Street clinic with training also available for experiencedMicropigmentation technicians, iPower is a semi-permanent eyeliner treatment with a difference. Not only does it create a classic black liner effect on the upper and lower eye line, but the eyes are enhanced further with a dramatic candy coloured liner application to the
eyelid.The result combines bold intensity with powerful colour.
The treatment can also be carried out with just the colour – known as iCandy – to enhance the natural iris colour andmake lashes look ultra-luscious.
“My iCandy and iPower treatments are all about having fun with yourmake-up, adding a splash of great colour and emphasis to a woman’s eyes,” Debra toldme.
The pigment is applied in two treatments over a four-week period. Firstly, during a consultation, Debra ascertainedmy usual eye make-up style and what I was looking to achieve fromthe treatment: I wantedmy eyes to look ‘made up’ every day.We discussed the Liquid Perfection®
colour pigment, which
can be individually customised for every client, and opted for emerald green Candy Krystal combined withMoss, to enhance the green ofmy
eyes.The other seven colour options range froma cornflower blue (Candy Kool) and purple (Candy Kiss) through to frosted silver (Candy Krisp).
Debra also recommended I go for a brown / black for the darker eyeliner shade, but explained that this could be enhanced duringmy second treatment.
After applying anaesthetic, Debra began placing the black / brown followed by green pigment into the dermis, using her ultra-delicateMicropigmentation technique – FAME®(FacialAestheticMicro Enhancement). I admit I was apprehensive about having a needle placed so close to my eye, but the sensation was nomore painful than scratching, despite Debra working on very sensitive skin and at no point did it feel uncomfortable.What amazedme was how quickly Debra worked, testament to her 20 years’ experience in this field, and in less than an hour the first part of the procedure was
completed.The days following, the skin aroundmy eyes was a little sore so I had to avoid using any other eye products, but, as it healed, I could already see that the finished look was going to be impressive.
Four weeks later I revisited Debra’s clinic to reinforce and set the eyeliner.We discussed what I loved about the look and agreed to lighten the colour using only Candy Krystal pigment and use a true dark black to achieve a dramatic and smoky-eyed result. After anaesthetic, Debra again worked quickly and the treatment was virtually painless.
After being truly impressed, the iPower treatment hasmademe re-evaluate how I
wearmake-up.My iPower eyelinermakes me feel ‘made up’ all of the time, regardless of what other cosmetics I’m using that day. I no longer feel the need to spend an age in front of themirror – now I’mhappy with just a wash of tinted moisturiser and a slick of lippy – because I knowmy iPower is perfect and there’s not a panda eye in sight!
