TWO YEARS LATER... and it was time for a refresh🤎✨

This client returned to the studio after two years for her Periodic PowderBrow Touch-Up💃🏽

Over time, permanent makeup is designed to gradually soften and fade. Her original brow foundation was still there-it simply needed a little refresh.

During her appointment, we:
✨Reintroduced pigment
✨Warmed up the existing color
✨Restored depth + definition
✨Brought that fresh, vibrant look back to her brows

And now? She's refreshed and ready to go for another 2.5-3 years before we'll likely need to see each other again.

PowderBrows 101✨

Yes-powderbrows are a form of permanent makeup, but they're designed to soften and fade gradually over time rather than look like a traditional body tattoo.

So, what does the process actually look like?

We start with your natural brow foundation. From there, I carefully map a shape designed around your facial features, natural brow growth, and desired look. You'll see and approve the shape before we ever begin the actual procedure.

Next, pigment is customized and implanted into the skin using a PMU machine, creating that soft, shaded,
"powder-filled" effect you see here.

Fresh brows will initially appear darker and more defined
-but don't panic. 😉
As they heal, they soften
approximately 30-40%, leaving a much more natural finish.

The result? Beautifully defined brows that can last approximately 2.5-3 years, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and maintenance.
Less time filling them in. More time waking up with brows already in place.🤍

Some moments remind you just how far you've come.✨🙏🏽🤎

Years ago, I was the new PMU artist renting a small room inside a spa, nervous before one of my first clients and questioning whether I was ready.

Right across the hall was an esthetician who consistently reminded me, "If you need anything, I'm right here."

And I needed her that day.

Fast-forward to today...

She walked into Michel Design Studio to pick up her professional PMU kit—not as the esthetician across the hall, but as one of my MDS Academy students.

Now I get to pour back into someone who once poured into me.

That's what made this moment so special.

The student became the teacher-and now I get to help another artist begin her next chapter.

Your next chapter could start here💃🏻✨

I wouldn’t have guessed this is where life would take me.

If you only know me as the owner of Michel Design Studio or MDS Academy, you probably don’t know the story behind how I got here.

Over the next few videos, I’m sharing the journey—the highs, the setbacks, the moments that changed me, and how I found my purpose in permanent makeup🫶🏽✨☺️

This is Part 1.

Part 2 is where everything changed🤎

Thinking about adding Powder Brows to your service menu?

You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions I get from licensed estheticians looking to expand their businesses, increase their earning potential, and offer more value to the clients they already serve.

That’s exactly why I created this FAQ.

Inside, you’ll find answers to some of the biggest questions about my Fundamentals of Powder Brows & Color Theory program—from who it’s designed for to what’s included and what you can expect throughout your training.

My goal isn’t just to teach you a procedure.

My goal is to help you confidently add Powder Brows to the business you’ve already built and perform your first paid Powder Brow service with confidence.

Have a question I didn’t cover?

Drop it in the comments or send us a DM—I’d love to answer it. 🤍

One of the biggest misconceptions about permanent makeup is that it’s purely artistic.

It isn’t.

It’s artistic and technical.

Every pigment has an undertone.

Every client’s skin heals differently.

Every previous procedure leaves behind information that you have to learn how to read.

When a client comes in with previous permanent makeup—especially work performed by another artist—you’re not starting with a blank canvas.

You’re making decisions based on skin tone, healed pigment, color theory, and the chemistry of how pigments behave over time.

That’s why color theory isn’t just another lesson in a PMU course.

It’s one of the most important skills you’ll ever develop as an artist.

Because beautiful healed results don’t happen by accident.

They happen through knowledge, intention, and experience.

This is one of my favorite topics to teach inside MDS Academy because understanding why a pigment behaves the way it does will make you a better artist for every client who sits in your chair.

Behind every course is a mission.

Mine is simple.

To help licensed estheticians stop saying, "No, I don't offer permanent makeup," and start offering a service their clients are already asking for.

If you've built an esthetics business that your clients trust, you don't always need more clients to grow.

Sometimes, you simply need to expand the value of the business you've already built.

That's exactly why I created MDS Academy.

This program was designed for licensed estheticians who are ready to add Powder Brows to their service menu through structured education, hands-on training, and continued mentorship—so the goal isn't just completing a course, it's performing your first paid Powder Brow service.

If you've been thinking about adding permanent makeup to your business, this is your invitation to explore what's possible.
