One-to-One Makeup Lessons in London
An afternoon learning to do your own makeup properly — at your pace, on your own face, with the few techniques and colours that genuinely suit you.
This isn’t a class of twenty watching a demo. It’s just the two of us. We work on your features, with your colouring, until the moves feel like yours — and you leave able to do them again on a busy weekday morning.
A lesson built around your face, not a syllabus
We can follow my course structure, or pick the things you find fiddly and master them together. Either way, you go home with a routine you can actually keep up.
On your own face
We work on you, at your pace — not on a chart or a model. You practise the moves yourself, with my hands guiding yours, until they feel natural.
The few things that suit you
Not a hundred techniques — the handful that actually flatter your features and colouring, so your everyday face becomes quick and repeatable.
An honest verdict on your kit
Bring your makeup bag and I’ll go through it with you: what earns its place, what to replace, and the gaps worth filling. No upsell — just what works on you.
Skills you choose
Know what you want to improve? We can run a focused masterclass on exactly that — liner, base, a softer eye — or follow my full course outline together.
How it works
Come without makeup if you can — it’s easier to learn from a clean face, and you’ll see each step land as we go. There’s no need to do your hair beforehand either.
Most people book one focused session; if you’d rather learn alongside someone, you can come with a friend and you’ll both get a discount. Bring your own makeup bag so we can review what you already have and build the look with products you’ll actually reach for.
Lessons make a genuinely good present, too — gift vouchers are available, so you can give someone the afternoon rather than another palette. Just get in touch and I’ll arrange one.
I teach across London and come to you, with a full professional kit. There’s no set price list — every lesson is quoted once I know what you’re after, so just tell me what you’d like to learn.
A little reading, if you’d like to get ahead
You don’t need to prepare anything — but if you enjoy this sort of thing, a few notes from the journal pair nicely with a lesson. They’ll also help our time together go further.
Brushes do more of the work than most people expect, so my complete guide to makeup brushes and what each one is for is a good place to start. If colour is the part that trips you up — why some shades flatter you and others fight you — the piece on colour theory for makeup explains the thinking we’ll use on your own face.
For the application itself, my notes on core makeup techniques cover the moves we’ll practise, from a clean base to a softly defined eye. And before you spend on anything new, the guide to the makeup products worth owning is exactly the lens I’ll bring to reviewing your kit.
Learn to do it yourself
Tell me what you’d like to get better at — your everyday face, a particular technique, or a full review of what’s in your bag. I read every enquiry myself, and the reply you get will be mine.
