PERMANENT BEAUTY MASTERS 2025

• Minimum age 18 years (for you and your model)
• You have demonstrably completed training as a PMU artist
• You can apply online using our online application form.
• To apply, submit a work sample for one of the four categories.
• The submission of the work sample is done by photo proof and short video (see below).
• It is possible to apply in several categories. Work samples must then be submitted for EACH category in which you wish to apply and an online application must be completed for each category.
• An expert jury will evaluate your submitted documents and work and nominate the finalists.
• A maximum of 10 finalists will be admitted per category.

VOLUME LIPS

The challenge:

• The anatomical and natural shape of the lip should be modelled as closely as possible and must not be pigmented beyond the natural lip line.
• The contour should be precise, but not visible as a line.
• The colour must be applied evenly. There should be no gap between the contour and the shade.
• To achieve volume lips, the ‘lip heart’ should be worked in an arc - you should avoid an ‘angular’ shape here.

SHADED EYELINER

The challenge:

• The shaded eyeliner is created directly from the lash line. The start and end of the eyeliner must run out evenly and as the finest line. The symmetry of width, length and direction must be maintained.
• The shape and colour must be chosen to suit the type.
• The shading must be applied delicately and evenly. The transition from dark lash line to soft shading must be smooth.
• There must be no gap between the contour and shading.

POWDER BROWS

The challenge:

• The anatomical and natural shape of the eyebrow should be modelled as closely as possible. A clear shape should be visible - but without a fixed contour or frame. If there are missing hairs or gaps, work visually denser - do not pigment individual hairs.
• The pigment tone and saturation should look like the ‘healed’ version. Work as lightly as if it were already the healed end result.
• Make sure to match the pigment tone of the eyebrows to the hair colour.

HAIR STROKE BROWS

The challenge:

• The pigmentation of eyebrow hairs is considered the supreme discipline of micropigmentation. Absolute naturalness is a must! Here too, the anatomical and natural shape of the eyebrows should be modelled as closely as possible.
• The natural growth direction and shape of the eyebrows must be observed and adhered to. Individual hairs should be clearly, cleanly and precisely visible without running into each other.
• The pigment tone and saturation should match the natural hairs as closely as possible.
• Micropigmentation must be carried out using a PMU device - not microblading!

• Final result
• The video should not be longer than 1 minute! Please upload the video to a cloud and have the download link ready.
• The respective model must not have any pre-pigmentation and the submitted photos/videos must not be edited - not even skin retouching!
• They do not have to be professional shots - but good photo and video quality increases the chance of a fair assessment. Only what the jury can clearly see can be judged.
