# How to Use a Permanent Makeup Machine Like a Pro
Permanent makeup machines are essential tools for semi-permanent makeup artists. Proper technique ensures precision, safety, and long-lasting results. Below, we break down key steps and best practices for optimal performance.
Machine Setup & Preparation
- Choose the Right Machine: Select a rotary or pen-style machine based on technique (e.g., microblading vs. shading).
- Sterilize Equipment: Autoclave needles and disinfect the machine before each session.
- Adjust Speed & Voltage: Start at low settings (0.5-1.0mm stroke, 6-8V) and adjust based on skin type.
- Test on Practice Skin: Ensure smooth pigment deposit before working on clients.
Needle Selection & Configuration
- Single Needles: Ideal for fine lines (eyebrows, lip liner).
- Round/Flat Needles: Best for shading and filling (powder brows, ombré lips).
- Cartridge Needles: Ensure compatibility with your machine model.
- Depth Control: Penetrate only 0.2-0.5mm into the epidermis to avoid scarring.
Technique & Application
- Stretch the Skin: Maintain tension for even pigment distribution.
- Work at a 45-90° Angle: Adjust based on area (e.g., brows vs. lips).
- Use Light, Feathery Strokes: Avoid overworking the skin to prevent trauma.
- Check Pigment Saturation: Wipe excess ink periodically to assess coverage.
Aftercare & Maintenance
- Clean the Machine: Disassemble and sterilize after each session.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Prevents friction and extends machine life.
- Store Properly: Keep in a dry, dust-free case.
For best results, follow manufacturer guidelines and attend advanced training. Trusted sources like *SPCP* and *American Academy of Micropigmentation* recommend ongoing education for technique refinement.
By mastering these steps, you’ll enhance client satisfaction and build a reputable practice. Need a high-quality machine? Explore QM Makeup’s professional tools today.

Tattoo balm
What are the characteristics of tattoo balm?
Our tattoo repair balm can be used to help the skin of new tattoos heal and protect, and can also be used for the maintenance of old tattoos. New tattoos usually need to be regularly applied with repair balm during the initial weeks of healing, and for old tattoos, regular maintenance can also help maintain color and luster.
Powder Pigment
Is the hybrid powdered pigment organic pigment for microblading?
Hybrid tattoo powder pigment is a revolutionary solution designed to address common problems encountered during micropigmentation and permanent makeup pigment application. This water-oil balanced makeup tattoo pigment harmoniously blends organic and inorganic ingredients to provide superior results.
Products
What’s your product quality certificate for glue balm?
We have MSDS certificate for PERM & FIXING & Glue lotions and glue balm.
Customized service
Can I get samples first for customization?
Yes, we support sample orders. Since your customization is different from regular goods, we may need to produce or process it separately, so we need to charge a corresponding sample fee, which can be refunded when you place a formal order.
Eyelash curling
How do I make diy lash perm?
1. Clean the eyelashes and skin around the eyes with clean water and cotton pads
2. Apply glue to the back of the silicone perm rod and stick it on the upper eyelid. After the silicone perm rod is fixed on the eyelid, cover the lower eyelashes with the eye patch.
3. Apply glue to the surface of the silicone perm rod, use a Y-shaped brush or a separate tool to stick the eyelashes on the silicone perm rod, and comb the eyelashes straight to ensure that the eyelashes do not overlap. After the glue dries and fixes the position of the eyelashes, proceed to the next step.
4. Apply the perm agent to the eyelashes to soften the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove the perm agent, apply the neutralizer to shape the eyelashes, cover with plastic wrap, and wait for 8 to 10 minutes
6. Remove the neutralizer, clean the eyelashes and residual glue with a detergent, and remove the silicone perm rod and eye patch.
7. Apply Collagen conditioner to nourish the eyelashes, and you're done!
