Cosmetic training is not usually required for a course in permanent makeup, but you should ask the providers directly about the admission requirements (via the contact form).

Many make-up artists, beauticians and schools specializing in permanent make-up offer training and continuing education, further training to become a pigmentologist. These courses can be very different and cover only individual parts of the face or all areas of the face. Some providers also offer training in convalescent or camouflage pigmentation. The method of pigmentation you learn can vary, for example for eyebrows, where microblading, hair strokes and powder style or diamond blading are used. You should therefore always enquire in detail about the individual training courses and trainers and have all the necessary documents sent to you by email.

Depending on the school, permanent makeup training can take between one day and several weeks. For a basic course you should reckon with around two to five days, for special courses with half a day to two days.

Depending on the permanent makeup course, the costs can vary greatly and depend on the school and the duration. You will have to spend between CHF 2000 and 4000 for professional training. However, please always enquire about the content of the permanent make-up course and the qualifications of the instructors.
