PMU Starter Kits
What to Buy After Training and How to Start Working
If you’ve just finished permanent makeup training, there’s a good chance your head feels a little chaotic right now.
On one hand, excitement. On the other, a question that keeps coming back every day:
“Can I already start working… or am I still missing something?”
During training, everything felt simple.
The products were provided.
The needles were selected.
The pigments were explained.
And then you step out into the real world — and suddenly you’re faced with hundreds of options, conflicting opinions, and shopping lists that grow faster than your confidence.
And that’s completely normal.
That’s why PMU starter kits aren’t meant to “sell you everything at once.”
They’re designed to reduce the number of decisions at the beginning and allow you to focus on learning and mastering your technique.
PMU Starter Kit – Why It’s a Good Choice at the Beginning
At the start, the hardest part isn’t the pigmentation itself.
The hardest part is deciding:
– which needle to choose,
– whether this machine is the right one,
– whether this pigment will actually work.
Starter kits solve exactly this problem.
You get a proven foundation that:
– allows you to practice different techniques,
– provides safe products for your first procedures,
– doesn’t force you to buy everything “by the box.”
And that matters, because at the beginning you don’t yet know what your working style will be.
And you don’t have to.
Set 1 – KWADRON PMU OPTIMA Cartridges
Let’s start with the foundation.
No matter which machine you use or which pigments you choose, the needle is what determines how you work in the skin.
It decides:
– how the pigment enters the skin,
– how much the skin is loaded,
– how you control line work and shading.
That’s why the first set is a strictly technical and educational kit — ideal for practice, learning, and your first procedures.
Set contents:
– KWADRON PMU OPTIMA 25/1RLLT – 5 pcs (single needles for precise lines)
– KWADRON PMU OPTIMA 30/1RLMT – 5 pcs (single needles for precise lines)
– KWADRON PMU OPTIMA 25/3RLLT – 5 pcs (multi-point needles for density building)
– KWADRON PMU OPTIMA GOLD 25/1RLLT – 5 pcs (GOLD version, which works more gently on the skin)
– KWADRON PMU OPTIMA 30/3RSLT – 5 pcs (shaders for soft filling)
What does a set like this give a beginner?
– you can compare different needles on the same practice skin,
– you learn that technique is not about “one needle for everything,”
– you start to understand why pigment sometimes enters the skin faster and sometimes more gently.
This set helps you understand the differences between:
– a single needle and a multipoint configuration,
– long taper and medium taper,
– the classic OPTIMA series and the gentler OPTIMA GOLD.
Why is this a good choice for a beginner PMU artist?
Because you can:
– test different needles on the same practice skin,
– see real differences in how they work,
– understand that technique is not “one needle for everything.”
This is an ideal set for:
– practice,
– first attempts,
– building technical awareness.

The set includes:
– VELURE wireless PMU machine (black)

This set:

Why is this a safe choice at the beginning?
Because:

– the machine is stable and easy to use,
– you don’t have to worry about whether you’re “missing something.”
Set 3 – PMU treatment cosmetics

Nuva Colors pigments – also available as a standalone set
If you already have a machine or are building your workstation step by step, the good news is that the Nuva Colors pigment set included with the machine is also available as a separate purchase.
This solution is for those who:
– don’t want to buy everything at once,
– already have equipment but lack a safe color foundation,
– want to start working with proven pigments without the risk of choosing the wrong shades.
By purchasing the pigment set separately, you still benefit from the same color-selection logic used in the machine bundle — just in a version tailored to your current stage.

SET 5 – THE PIGMENT
Choosing pigments is one of the most stressful moments after PMU training.
At the beginning, it’s very easy to fall into one of two extremes:
– buying too much “just in case,”
– or worrying that you won’t have the right color for your client.
The THE PIGMENT set was created precisely to take that decision-making pressure off your shoulders.
It’s a carefully designed color foundation that allows you to work with most beauty types — without needing an entire shelf full of pigments.
What makes this set stand out?
THE PIGMENT pigments:
– are color-stable,
– allow for layered application,
– help you learn color selection without the fear that “something will go wrong.”
This is especially important at the beginning, when you are just starting to:
– learn how the skin reacts,
– observe how pigment behaves after healing,
– build your own sense of color.
Why is this a good solution for beginners?
Because:
– you don’t yet need to know every nuance of color,
– you’re not working with “all-or-nothing” pigments,
– you have room for corrections and touch-ups.
These are pigments that teach calm, confident work — not pressure for perfection from the very first procedure.

At the beginning, you don’t need everything.
You need tools that allow you to learn, test, and make mistakes in a safe way.
Starter kits — needles, equipment, treatment cosmetics, and pigments (Nuva, THE PIGMENT) — create a logical foundation that lets you focus on technique and working with the client, rather than constantly wondering whether you have “the right color.”
