ILLUME INSTITUTE

OF PERMANENT COSMETICS

You are one class away from changing your life.

Hi I’m Ciara Amir, owner of Illume and Certified Medical Micropigmentation Trainer. Permanent makeup has completely changed my life and I am ready to help others achieve their life goals through the art of permanent cosmetics. Permanent makeup has consistently been one of the fastest growing industries. Unlike many trendy beauty professions, permanent makeup has been around and in demand for several decades. Practicing permanent makeup can be extremely lucrative all while working just a few days a week. I am ready to help you launch one of the best careers you’ve ever had, are you ready to change your life?

How we’re different.

Oklahoma’s Medical Micropigmentation industry has lacked diversity and inclusion. We’ve made it our mission to create a practice that was reflective of everyone regardless of their age, sex, or ethnicity.

Illume Institute of Permanent Cosmetics is the only course in Oklahoma that focuses on permanent makeup for ALL. Our inclusive approach to permanent makeup allows us to celebrate all complexions while offering training on the safest procedures specifically tailored to the individual’s needs. The curriculum was designed with a global skin focus that will prepare our students to serve a multitude of clients regardless of skin type, tone and texture.

Do you want to glow up your life? Come train with me and become a licensed permanent makeup artist.

Oklahoma Licensure Requirements

To begin medical micropigmentation training in Oklahoma and to receive your certificate from the Health Department, you must meet the following requirements and pass a background check that will be performed by Oklahoma Health Department after training to verify your qualifications. 

  1. Are you at least 21 years of age?

  2. Are you able to provide a high school diploma or equivalent?

  3. Are you a US citizen or can you prove a lawful presence?

  4. Can you produce a notarized copy of your birth certificate and a copy of your valid drivers license?

  5. Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony?

  6. Have you ever had a health-related license, certificate, or permit suspended, revoked or not renewed or had any other disciplinary action taken, or had an application for a health-related license, certificate, or permit refused by a federal, state, territory, or District of Columbia regulatory authority for intentionally falsifying information?

To become licensed in Oklahoma, you must meet these basic requirements.  If it is later found by the Oklahoma Health Department that you do not meet these requirements, you will not be given a refund on any training.

The following things you will be needed upon completion of an approved Oklahoma Medical Micropigmentation Training Program to submit for licensure.

  1. Notarized certificate of birth

  2. Drivers license or other similar form of identification 

  3. Proof of Oklahoma Medical Micropigmentation course completion

In Oklahoma, all medical micropigmentologists are required by law to be covered by an overseeing physician and all work must be done within the physician’s office.  It is the students’ responsibility to secure a working relationship with an overseeing physician prior to completion. The health department will not allow the physician to "sign off" for you. In addition, the overseeing physician must be a medical doctor or dentist. The health department will double check all information provided to them. 

I’m ready.
