Faces by Design offers two group continuing-education classes for existing permanent makeup artists at their Renton studio. The two-day training "Because Color Matters," costing $1,800 (as of 2010), teaches students color theory, the permanent cosmetic color creation process, and how to choose color based on skin undertones. Students will learn how to make color adjustments and corrections and receive a certificate of completion following 16 hours of classroom attendance. The five-hour Saline/Salt Lightening course is $350 (as of 2010) and trains students how to lighten and make corrections and adjustments to permanent makeup applications using salt. The process can correct a poor application and reduces the risk of an allergic reaction using a material naturally present in the body. Students receive a certificate of completion following the five-hour class that can be presented to the PPIB Insurance Brokerage, a company that insures tattoo artists, to obtain insurance coverage.
