1. Maria Concepcion: My Breast Cancer PMU Journey - a podcast by Sheila Bella

We're starting off Season 5 on a softer note, speaking with Maria Concepcion, a PMU Artist and Instructor as well as a breast cancer survivor. On today's episode she shares with us her journey through breast cancer and how her career in PMU helped to provide her with a support network during this difficult time in her life. She also shares touching details about the love of her daughter and advice for women who may be going through a similar experience.

Maria comes to us with a wealth of experience in the aesthetic and cosmetic fields. She has over 12 years of permanent makeup experience as well as paramedical training in areola tattooing and camouflage and scalp micropigmentation. In addition to being a certified instructor by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and a certified professional by the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals, Maria is also a licensed makeup artist and cosmetologist. 

Maria creates beautiful natural hair stroke brows to compliment every face structure, eyeliner that will make your eyes pop and sparkle, and lip liner and shading that will enhance and make your lips appear fuller. She also performs and teaches 3D & 4D areola tattooing and volunteers her services at the annual Beau Day of Hope — which, as a breast cancer survivor herself, is something that is deeply heartfelt to her. 

Along with her work as a practitioner, Maria is an instructor for Beau Institute's monthly permanent makeup training classes and advanced classes. She is also a scalp micropigmentation expert. She performs these confidence building procedures and is the instructor for Beau's scalp micropigmentation class.  Maria’s skill and patience has given trainees great confidence. She is a true believer in continuing education and has trained in Microblading with Phi Brows, Scalp Micropigmentation with Micro Scalp USA and Moshe Abul of NPM International to name a few.
