Permanent makeup cartridges, or PMU cartridges, are single-use needle units that click into your machine to deposit pigment into the skin for brows, lips and eyeliner. At Killer Beauty, you'll find PMU cartridges from leading brands, in a choice of needle configurations to suit every technique, whether you're perfecting your first set of brows or refining a signature lip blush.

Each cartridge type is designed for a different part of your work, from ultra-fine 1RL nano needles for hair strokes to curved and round magnums for soft shading. Liners such as 1RL and 3RL group the needles tightly into a fine point for crisp, defined detail like hair strokes, lip outlines and eyeliner. Shaders such as 3RS and 5RS space the needles a little wider for soft, even colour, making them a go-to for powder brows, ombré and lip blush. Magnums, including curved, round and soft edge styles, arrange the needles in rows to cover larger areas smoothly, helping you build gentle gradients and pack colour with ease. Within each type, needle count, taper and diameter vary, with diameters from 0.18mm to 0.40mm, so you can fine-tune every stroke to the skin and the look you're creating.

You'll find trusted names in PMU across our range, from Peak Stellar cartridges and Dragonhawk Mast Pro cartridges to the Vertix family of Vertix Nano, Vertix PICO cartridges and Vertix Academy, plus KWADRON cartridges and Emalla. Every brand has its own feel in the hand and on the skin, so trying a few is a lovely way to find your flow and discover the cartridge that works best for you.

Our cartridges pair with the PMU machines we stock, helping you build a setup with brands you know and trust. Most PMU cartridges are made to fit standard cartridge machines, but it's always worth checking compatibility on the product page before you order. Not sure where to start?
