Frequently Asked Questions
Will my makeup feel heavy?
Not at all. I always listen carefully to what you want and choose products that create a long-lasting finish without feeling heavy on the skin. My aim is for you to look like the best version of yourself, natural, confident, and glowing.
How should I arrive for my appointment?
Please arrive on time with clean, makeup-free skin so we can begin your application straight away. If you have also booked a hair service, please arrive with clean, dry hair.
What will I learn in a 1-to-1 makeup lesson?
Each lesson is completely tailored to you. Whether you want to create glowing skin, master a smoky eye, improve your everyday routine, or check that your current products are right for you, we’ll focus on exactly what you need.
You’ll have full access to my professional makeup kit so you can try new brands and products. After the lesson, you’ll also receive samples to take home along with a personalised step-by-step guide so you can confidently recreate the look yourself.
How long does each appointment take?
Appointments typically take between 45–60 minutes, depending on the look you would like to achieve.
