1. What is a Semipermanent Care Specialist?
In English-speaking countries, this profession is most commonly known as a PMU (Permanent Makeup) Artist or a Cosmetic Tattoo Artist.
It is a specialized field within the beauty industry where professionals apply pigments into the dermal layer of the skin using microscopic needles. Unlike traditional body tattoos, these procedures are designed to fade over a few years, which is why they are called “semi-permanent”.
2. Key Responsibilities
- Microblading / Powder Brows: Creating natural-looking eyebrow hairs or a soft, shaded makeup look using fine blades or needles.
- Lip Blush: Enhancing the natural color and shape of the lips by applying a soft pink or reddish tint.
- Permanent Eyeliner: Tattooing the lash line to make the eyes look bigger and more defined.
- Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): Tattooing tiny dots on the scalp to mimic the appearance of hair follicles for people dealing with hair loss or thinning hair.
