Our story

Born from Passion, Perfected Through Experience

Bliss Pigments wasn't just created – it was born from necessity, refined through years of hands-on experience, and perfected with one mission in mind: making permanent makeup artistry accessible to everyone.

The Story Behind the Brand

Eight years ago, Maya Risteska discovered her calling in permanent makeup when she experienced the transformative power of eyeliner tattooing firsthand. What started as personal fascination quickly evolved into professional mastery. With over 23 years in makeup artistry and 6 years building her permanent makeup empire, Maya has walked every step of the journey – from struggling beginner to award-winning master artist.

 

As the founder of Beauty Bliss Permanent Makeup Studio and Academy and a board-certified member of the American Academy of Micropigmentation, Maya has trained hundreds of aspiring PMU artists. Through countless hours of teaching, she witnessed the same challenges over and over: new artists struggling with color theory, intimidated by pigment mixing, and overwhelmed by complex formulations.

The Problem That Sparked Innovation

"I watched talented students lose confidence because they couldn't master color matching. I saw promising artists give up because pigment mixing felt too complicated. That's when I knew something had to change." – Maya Risteska

Traditional pigments often require extensive color theory knowledge and complex mixing techniques that can take years to master. New PMU artists would spend more time worrying about getting the color right than focusing on their technique and client experience.

The Bliss Solution

Bliss Pigments represents a revolutionary approach to permanent makeup pigments – designed by an educator, for artists at every level.

What Makes Bliss Different:

✨ Intuitive Color System – No guesswork, no complex mixing ratios
✨ Beginner-Friendly Formulation – Easy to read, easy to use, immediate results
✨ Master-Artist Approved – Developed by someone who's actually trained hundreds of artists
✨ Hybrid Technology – Combines the best of organic and inorganic pigments

The Science Behind the Simplicity

Every Bliss pigment is a hybrid blend of organic and inorganic colors, carefully formulated to be:

  • Non-GMO for safety and purity

  • Cruelty-free because ethics matter

  • Sterile for professional confidence

  • High-quality for consistent, long-lasting results

But here's what sets us apart: our innovative color-matching technology. We've simplified the traditionally complex process of skin tone matching into an easy 1-2-3 step system, eliminating the intimidation factor that holds back so many new artists.

From Classroom to Your Studio

Maya's experience training over 4-8 students monthly revealed the most common gaps in PMU education: pigment knowledge, service confidence and client attraction. Bliss Pigments addresses the technical side of this equation, giving artists one less thing to worry about so they can focus on building their skills and growing their business.

Our Pigment Collections:

Brow Collection: Latte, Caramel, Chocolate, Cocoa, Espresso, Mocha.
Lip Collection: Rose, Cherry, Peach, Blush, Flame, Lava.

Each shade is precisely formulated with detailed tones and Fitzpatrick ranges, taking the guesswork out of color selection.
