LIVE MODELS & JUNIOR LIVE MODELS
Sunday 27th September
PMU Live Model Championship & Junior Competition
On Sunday, 21st September, we proudly present the PMU Live Model Championship, alongside the Junior Live Model Championship, hosted at the prestigious Titanic Hotel Belfast.
Across the day, five elite PMU categories will be contested, with the Junior division also offering five categories, giving emerging artists the opportunity to compete within their developing skill set.
Winners of the Live Model categories will earn the honour of representing their country at the WULOP World Finals in Turkey, accompanied by their model. This exceptional experience includes a stay at a luxurious five-star all-inclusive resort, complete with airport transfers in Turkey, premium goodie bags, exclusive events, and unforgettable evening celebrations.
As part of the globally recognised WULOP (World Universal League of Permanent Make-up) platform, this championship offers artists the unique opportunity to step onto an international stage, gain recognition, and experience the prestige of competing at a world-class event.
The Junior Live Model Competition is designed for artists currently working in PMU who have under two years’ experience in a specific category, offering a supportive yet professional environment to build confidence and competition experience.
For example, if you have been specialising in PMU Brows for five years but have only recently begun offering PMU Lips, you are eligible to compete in the Lips category under Junior.
This is your opportunity to elevate your artistry, gain international exposure, and be part of one of the most exciting PMU events of the year.

Monday, 28th September – WULOP Latex Competition
On Monday morning, 28th September, the WULOP Latex Competition will take centre stage at the Titanic Hotel Belfast. Open to artists of all levels, this category provides a unique opportunity to compete within a professional and highly respected environment. (Please note: this is a national category, and winners will not progress to the World Finals in Turkey.)
The Latex Competition is a cornerstone of the WULOP platform, recognised internationally for its focus on technical excellence, precision, and artistic control. By working on latex, artists are able to demonstrate pure skill—free from external variables—allowing judges to assess symmetry, pigment implantation, mapping, and overall execution at the highest standard.
Within the PMU industry, latex work is regarded as a true reflection of an artist’s discipline and technical foundation. It is where craftsmanship is refined, standards are elevated, and excellence is defined.
Whether you are an emerging artist or an established professional, this category offers an exceptional opportunity to challenge your abilities, gain recognition, and elevate your artistry on the globally recognised WULOP stage.
Afternoon & Evening Programme – Live Demonstration Speakers
The day continues with an exclusive evening programme featuring non-stop live demonstration speakers. Internationally renowned master artists will take to the stage, showcasing their signature techniques in real time.
This is a rare opportunity to observe world-class talent up close, gain insider knowledge, and immerse yourself in the artistry, innovation, and expertise that define the global PMU industry.
