New Mexico Permanent Makeup (PMU) Practice Exam

Symmetry in brow design comes from a careful, repeatable mapping of the face using clear landmarks and a defined midline. Start by identifying reliable reference points on both sides of the face—often the inner and outer corners of the eyes, the midline of the nose, and the pupil line—then draw a vertical midline down the center of the face. Using this midline and the facial landmarks, you place the brow’s three key points: where the brow begins (start), where the arch peaks, and where the brow ends. Proportional measurements guide these points so the distance from the start to the arch and from the arch to the end on one side mirrors the other side, resulting in brows that sit in harmony with the eyes, nose, and overall facial width. This method reduces guesswork and ensures a consistent, natural look across sessions, adapting to each client’s unique features rather than relying on random placement or post-healing adjustments.
