Makeup Lessons…

Do you struggle to apply your own makeup?

Do you tend to stick with the same products and routine? Do you need help finding what works best for your skin/face? If yes to any of these questions then why not book in for a one-to-one makeup lesson with myself. I’ve learnt my tips and tricks from the celebrity makeup artists themselves with doing masterclasses in New York and London with some of the top makeup artists in the industry. 

Alex applying Makeup to a Bride on a Wedding Morning

One-to-one makeup lesson (1.5 hours) £120

I offer a one-to-one makeup lesson to help you apply your own makeup. We will make you a bespoke look that suits you. I can even show you how we make a day look into an evening look then you can see a more softer style for the day that would suit you and then a more glam version for the evening. I will teach and advise you how to do each step. Either myself doing half the face and you doing the other half with my guidance. Or if you prefer I can do the full face with yourself watching in the mirror each step. We will go through everything from skincare and working out what skin type you have and what products will suit your personal skin needs. I will then do a consultation to work out what type of makeup look you would like to learn today. I will also show you a softer way to wear it and a more going out look too! We can have a focus point weather that’s how to do a winged eyeliner or how to create a Smokey eye or both! 

  • I advise you to bring your own makeup bag to the appointment so we can see how you can make use of what you already have and where you’ll need to replace a couple of products. This is also a good way of me seeing what you normally do with your makeup and I can see if the products could be making things difficult or not working for you compared to better products out there. At the end of the makeup lesson I’ll email you over all the notes so you don’t have to worry about writing everything down. I’ll be emailing you: a product list of what we used, step by step notes of how to do each step and photos from the lesson and photos of other products I’d recommend. I can also email you discount codes too. 

Alex was very nice and helpful to me. She helped me to understand the things I didn't know before about makeup and how to put it on. She was also very good at helping to recommending alternatives to fit into my budget.”

Wanting to do your own makeup for your wedding day? Or if it’s not possible to have a makeup artist present on your wedding morning? 

Then you’ve found the right place. I can offer a bridal one-to-one makeup lesson for you in the comfort of your own home or at Beauty Matters where I’m based.

I will recommend products that I highly recommend to stay on all day and to suit your needs. Then same as my normal one-to-one makeup lesson I’ll email you over all notes: including a product list of what we used, step by steps and photos of the makeup look and photos of other products I’d recommend personally for you.

“I was very impressed with the makeup lesson I purchased as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. Alex is very professional, explaining and applying her makeup. Alex noted the stages and products used for her too. We loved the experience and the result.
I would highly recommend.”

“I have to confess to being overwhelmed by the thought of applying make-up. As a 60 year old, soon to be Mother of the Groom, I needed some help! Alex came to my house armed with a lot of products but didn't try to ply me with what I didn't want. She gave excellent, generic advice as well as specifics on how to use the products that fitted the brief I'd given her. After applying the products, telling me all the way through what she was doing and why ( I had my eyes shut), I got to have a look at the end result and then to suggest alterations. Alex duly obliged and I was pleased with the results. But the efforts she went to after the make up lesson were above and beyond. Alex used her considerable knowledge and youthful flair to find products online that could do the job of more expensive ones. Or palettes of colour that would suit more than one purpose. Screen shots and hyperlinks were included in the email, together with where I could go to look at the products and brushes that I could purchase to complete my look. The step by step instructions on how to replicate the look that Alex created have proved to be invaluable. I was impressed by her knowledge, enthusiasm and thoroughness. Thank you”
