# 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 butter balm is the best aftercare for tattoo, here are the general steps and suggestions for using tattoo repair balm.

Use before tattoo: Before tattooing, tattoo repair balm can be used on the tattoo area to help keep the skin moisturized, reduce friction during tattooing, and reduce skin damage.
After tattooing: After the tattoo artist completes the tattoo, it is recommended to use the repair cream for the first time to protect the new tattoo area.
During the healing period: In the next few weeks, the repair balm can be used every day to help keep the skin moisturized and prevent dryness and scabbing.
Daily care: The repair balm can be used every day on the old tattoo area to effectively prevent the old tattoo from fading. It has the effect of enhancing the color and keeping the faded old tattoo bright.

Frequency: Apply 1 to 3 times a day according to the product instructions or the tattoo artist's advice to keep the skin moist.
Avoid irritation: During your recovery period, avoid using products containing alcohol or fragrances, as well as overexposure to the sun.
Micro Blade
What makes your microblades different from other microblades?
Our micro blades are made of 304 stainless steel, which means that the disposable microblading needle are extremely sharp and will give you very natural looking hairline results. They are completely pre-packaged in individual packages and sterilized with ethylene oxide gas. These packages include the lot number, date of manufacture and expiration date. We focus on the highest quality and stand behind our microblading eyebrows products. These tools were designed by QM because we felt that other products on the market were not properly customized or sterilized for the artist's needs.
Perm and dyeing kit
How do I make brow lamination tint?
1. Clean eyebrows: Use warm water and facial cleansing products to clean eyebrows and surrounding skin, making sure there are no impurities and oils.
2. Shape eyebrows: Use eyebrow scissors to trim the length and shape of eyebrows as needed
3. Apply skin care oil: Apply skin care oil to the skin around eyebrows to prevent dye from getting on the skin and facilitate cleaning.
4. Mix dye: Mix dye and developer in a 1:1 ratio.
5. Apply dye: Use a small brush to apply eye brow dye evenly on eyebrows, from the beginning to the end of eyebrows, and pay attention to control the amount to avoid applying it on the skin. Wait for the appropriate time (usually 5-10 minutes) to allow the eyebrow dye to fully color.
6. Wash: Use warm water and paper towels to gently wash the dye off, and be careful not to rub the eyebrows hard.
Follow-up care
1. Avoid water washing: Avoid contact with water within 24 hours after dyeing to ensure that the color lasts.
2. Regularly touch up the color: Depending on the growth rate of the eyebrows and the fading of the color, you can touch up the color every 4-6 weeks.
