Make Up Lessons in Bristol

Why Book a Personal Makeup Lesson?

Booking a personalised makeup lesson with a professional makeup artist can help you to gain valuable knowledge about what works for your skin type, colouring and which products are best suited to your everyday routine. Whether you want to learn how to do a quick 5-minute every day makeup look, or something for a special event, makeup lessons can help you to nail that look and feel confident.

A relaxed, personalised makeup session tailored entirely to you

I’m so excited to now be offering one-to-one makeup lessons for anyone wanting to feel more confident, refreshed or simply a little more themselves when they look in the mirror.

These relaxed two-hour sessions are completely tailored to you. Before we meet, we’ll chat about what you’d like to get out of the lesson so I can shape the session around your goals – whether that’s learning the basics, updating your routine, or finally mastering that winged eyeliner.

We’ll go through your makeup bag together (and mine too)

When we meet, we’ll start by going through your makeup collection together. This is often people’s favourite part. It’s also sometimes the scary part. Don’t worry, I won’t judge if you have an eyeshadow palette from 2010. We’ll look at what’s working for you, what isn’t, and how to use the products you already own in a better way.

I’ll also show you how my professional kit works and explain why certain products perform better than others, so you leave understanding why things work – not just how to apply them.

Learn techniques you can actually use in real life

Depending on what you want to learn, we can cover things like:

  • Creating soft, glowing skin that lasts all day
  • Understanding whether you’re warm or cool-toned
  • Perfecting a smokey eye without it looking heavy
  • Mastering a flattering winged liner
  • Learning bridal-style makeup that photographs beautifully

These lessons are especially lovely for brides planning elopements, people wanting to refresh their look, or anyone who feels stuck in the same makeup habits they’ve had for years.

Industry tips from 15 years as a professional makeup artist

Throughout the session, I’ll share techniques and little industry secrets I’ve learnt over the past 15 years working as a makeup artist in both the UK and Hollywood – the kind of knowledge that really makes a difference but isn’t often talked about.

I specialise in weddings and bridal beauty, so my approach is always focused on enhancing what’s already there rather than masking it. The goal is for you to leave feeling confident, capable and like the best version of yourself – not like someone else entirely.

Pricing and booking

Lessons last two hours and prices start from £150.

If you’d like to book, or just want to chat about whether a lesson would suit you, feel free to get in touch – I’d love to hear from you.
