The SofTap Lip Academy is a 4-week hybrid training program focused exclusively on permanent makeup lips. This program is designed to build strong technical foundations, artistic confidence, and real-world readiness for professional PMU artists.
Students complete structured online coursework followed by supervised hands-on training with an approved SofTap mentor to qualify for certification.
No prior permanent makeup experience is required.
Online coursework is to be completed before beginning hands-on apprenticeship training.
The Lip Academy will cover the following topics in order to prepare you for working on live models with your Mentor:
The SofTap Academy is not your typical PMU program - it is an intense, full-on, professional training based on 40 years of industry knowledge.
This program is designed for people who want real skill and real feedback so they feel ready to step into the world of SofTap permanent makeup. We're not about the shortcuts or surface-level certifications.
Structure, mentorship, and standards-driven quality education is what you'll find here.
To complete SofTap certification, students must complete supervised hands-on training with an approved SofTap mentor or instructor.
Hands-on training sessions are scheduled separately and completed under supervision to ensure proper technique, safety, and professional readiness.
SofTap Academy combines structured education with mentored hands-on training because confidence comes from actually doing it!
