Wanted: Permanent Makeup Models

Each student will have already demonstrated that they possess a very high level of precision, accuracy and artistic talent before being allowed to work on models – but they do need models to work on so the can build up valuable experience.

All procedures are carried out under the direct supervision of Carolyn Elliott CPCP. The shaping and overall technique used by students will be assessed and approved by Carolyn Elliott CPCP before any work is started.

Unfortunately, if any of the following apply to you then we can’t use you as a model.

• Have previous Permanent Makeup
• Pregnant or nursing
• Diabetic
• Undergoing Chemotherapy (consult your doctor)
• Viral infections and/or diseases
• Epilepsy
• Pacemaker or major heart problems
• Organ transplant
• Skin irritations or Psoriasis near the treated area (rashes, sunburn, acne, etc.)
• Sick (cold, flu, etc.)
• Botox in the past 2 weeks

Below is a list of ‘what not to do before your permanent make up procedure’. We kindly ask that all models:

• Do not work out the day of the procedure
• Do not tan or have sunburned face
• Do not take Aspirin, Niacin, Vitamin E, Fish Oil or IBUprofen 24 hours before procedure
• No alcohol or caffeine 2 days before the procedure
• No waxing, tweezing, or tinting 3 days before the procedure
• No Electrolysis 5 days before the procedure. (Do not resume any method of hair removal for at least two weeks)
• No Eyelash tinting or curling 48 hours before, or two weeks after the procedure. Do not wear eyelash extensions, or eyelash strips 1 week prior or during the day of eyeliner procedure.
• Stop using Latisse 2 weeks before your procedure.
• Do not wear contact lenses during or immediately following the eyeliner procedure. Remember to bring your glasses. You may resume wearing your contact lenses as soon as your eyes return to their pre-tattooed condition.

Immediately after a procedure:

• 10 DAY DRY PERIOD: NO heavy sweating, water, cleansers, creams, makeup or any other products on treated area for 10 days. Avoid sleeping on your face for the first 10 days.
• 3-4 hours after your procedure, clean the treated area with the sterile water vial and cotton gauze that we provide you. Squeeze out the excess water from cotton ball, pad or gauze so that they are not saturated before wiping off any ointment or lymph fluids.
• DO NOT rub, pick or scratch the treated area. Let any scabbing or dry skin exfoliate naturally. Picking can cause scarring.
  Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for 3-4 weeks after procedure.
• NO facials, botox, chemical treatments and microdermabrasion for 4 weeks.

Longer term care

• Use a good sunscreen, sun exposure will fade your permanent cosmetics
• If you are planning a chemical peel, laser procedure or an MRI scan, please inform the technician of your permanent cosmetics
• The use of Retin­A/Tretinoin or any other rapid skin exfoliation products used regularly on the forehead area will cause the permanent makeup to the eyebrow area to fade prematurely.
• The use of chemical peels and acid peels regularly on the forehead region can also cause eyebrow tattoos to fade prematurely.
