CHHENG MULLIGAN

Instructor: PMU Brows 

Chheng Mulligan is a permanent makeup brow artist with nearly a decade of experience in the beauty industry. She has been practicing PMU since 2015, combining her lifelong love for beauty, art, and education into a purpose-driven career.

From a young age, Chheng was drawn to creative expression and teaching. She pursued these interests academically, majoring in Art and Elementary Education. She is currently employed by Chicago Public Schools as a Special Education teacher for elementary students, where she works daily with children with disabilities, supporting their growth, confidence, and individualized learning needs.

While education is her full-time profession, Chheng’s passion for artistry and entrepreneurship led her to permanent makeup. After completing Ombré Brow and Nano Brow certification courses, she committed herself to mastering her craft. Since 2019, she has worked consistently to refine her techniques, dedicating extensive time to practicing on skin sheets and live models to ensure precision, quality, and confidence in her work.

Chheng is the founder of Face Makers PMU, the name behind her studio and social media presence. Face Makers PMU represents artists and students who believe in creating meaningful, lasting art through permanent makeup and continuous skill development.

When she is not working with children with disabilities through CPS, Chheng teaches at One Stop Beauty School, as a Permanent Makeup Instructor. In this role, she is passionate about helping beginners and advancing PMU artists build strong foundations, refine their techniques, and grow with confidence. Her teaching style reflects patience, structure, and encouragement—skills she brings directly from her work in special education.

Outside of work, Chheng enjoys spending quality time with her husband and two young children, embracing both her professional calling and family life.
