BEAUTY BY YIYUS ACADEMY

AAM-certified permanent makeup training in Newark, New Jersey. Taught in English and Spanish.

Most beginner courses run two or three days. That teaches you to hold a machine. It doesn't teach you why the brow you loved at two weeks turned gray at eighteen months, or how to build a formula that heals warm on deep skin instead of ashy. That's what six full days in the studio are for.

PMU FUNDAMENTALS

AAM Certified · 6 in-studio days · 12 modules · Newark, NJ

You'll leave this program ready to open your own book. Not just ready to copy one shape onto latex.

This program is certified by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and structured to N.J.A.C. 8:27, New Jersey's body art regulations, so your training is recognized where you'll actually be working.

Taught in English and Spanish. Every module, every reference sheet, every correction — in the language you learn best in.
Module 1 — Bloodborne Pathogens, Sanitation & New Jersey Compliance+
Cross-contamination control, station setup and barrier film, sharps handling and disposal, autoclave versus single-use, N.J.A.C. 8:27 requirements, and how to be ready for a health department inspection.
Module 2 — Skin Anatomy & Histology+
The layers of the skin and where pigment actually belongs. Fitzpatrick I–VI. How melanin density, dermal thickness, and oil production change your depth, your needle, and your color. Reading undertone on deep and hyperpigmented skin — the skill this entire program is built around.
Module 3 — Color Theory for Micropigmentation+
Primary, secondary, complementary. Warm versus cool. Why brown isn't a color but a mix, and what happens to that mix once it's under living tissue, exposed to sun, iron, and time.
Module 4 — Pigment Science: CIs, Chemistry & Long-Term Shift+
Colour Index numbers and how to read a pigment label the way you'd read an ingredient panel. Organic, inorganic, and hybrid. Iron oxide behavior. Carbon black and why it betrays you. Which pigments go red, which go gray, which go blue — and at what point in the life of the work they do it.
Module 5 — Custom Formulation with Tattoo-Grade Ink Signature Module+
The core of the Yiyus method. Building your own brow and lip formulas from tattoo-grade inks rather than premade PMU pigments. Modifiers and correctors. Dilution as a tool for softness and gradient. How to formulate for Fitzpatrick IV–VI so brows heal warm and lips heal true instead of muddy.
Module 6 — Consultation, Contraindications & Intake+
Reading the client's face and reading the client. Medical history that disqualifies. Medications, keloid history, active conditions. Consent forms, photo release, patch testing. How to set expectations so you never get a "this isn't what I asked for" three weeks later.
Module 7 — Brow Design, Mapping & Symmetry+
Measurement and proportion. Mapping to bone structure, not to a trend. Correcting asymmetry, low arches, thin tails, and previous work. Designing for mature faces and for men. From pencil-and-string technique through to freehand confidence.
Module 8 — Machine Fundamentals+
Rotary machine mechanics. Needle configurations and when to use each one. Voltage, speed, stroke length, and hand speed as a single system. Grip, angle, stretch, and depth control. Latex drills until your pass is even, then pigment on synthetic skin.
Module 9 — Ombré Powder Brows on Deep Skin Signature Module+
The studio's signature technique, taught in full. Building gradient with pressure and pass count instead of pushing color. Achieving a soft front and a defined tail without over-saturating. Working on Fitzpatrick IV–VI, oily skin, and hyperpigmented skin — the client base most artists turn away because their training never covered it.
Module 10 — Lip Blush & Introduction to Neutralization+
Lip anatomy and the vermillion border. Shape correction and symmetry. Building a tint that suits the client's natural tone. First principles of neutralizing hyperpigmented, cool, or melanin-rich lips before adding color — covered in full in the advanced course.
Module 11 — Eyeliner Enhancement+
Lash line work, eye anatomy, and safety around the eye. From lash enhancement through to a defined liner. Client positioning, stretch, and swelling management.
Module 12 — Healing, Aftercare, Touch-Ups & Business+
The four-to-six week healing arc and what healed work actually looks like. Aftercare protocols and client compliance. How to read a healed result and plan the perfecting session. Then: licensing, insurance, pricing your work, deposits and policies, and how to fill a book from zero.

Program 2

ADVANCED 1:1 TRAINING

Private · [2 days] · Built around your work, not a syllabus

For the artist who already works on clients and knows something isn't landing. Maybe your ombré heals patchy. Maybe your shape looks beautiful fresh and is gone at eight weeks. Maybe no one has ever told you the truth about your saturation.

This isn't a beginner class repeated. Before your training I review your healed photos, and we build the two days around what your work actually needs.

What We Cover — Chosen For Your Case

What's Included

  • Pre-training portfolio review
  • Two live models, supervised
  • A personalized formulation sheet for your client base
  • Written assessment with a 90-day improvement plan
  • 60 days of follow-up support
PrerequisitesA completed foundational PMU course and current work on clients.

Program 3

LIP NEUTRALIZATION TRAINING

[1–2 days] · 1:1 or small group · The class most academies skip

Hyperpigmented lips are the most common lip presentation in Newark, and the one artists are least prepared for. They put warm pink over cool, melanin-rich lips, it heals gray or purple, and the client never comes back.

Neutralization is a color correction problem before it's a tattoo problem. This class teaches the science first.

What You'll Learn

What's Included

  • A live model with hyperpigmented lips, supervised
  • Neutralization formulation reference chart
  • Case study library: before, during, and healed
  • Certificate of completion
  • 60 days of follow-up support
PrerequisitesPrior lip blush training or experience.
