Utilize your new skills to perfect your look for professional outings, date night, black tie events, family gatherings, professional photos, anniversaries, birthdays and all the special events in your life.

Makeup Lessons are available in a private setting or in group classes. Send me a contact request for details.

Here is what you will learn:

  • A polished everyday look.
  • The basics for developing a daily makeup routine.
  • Refresh your look for an upcoming event.
  • New colours for a new season.

I work with women of all ages and cultural backgrounds, focusing on a natural makeup style that enhances your unique beauty and elevates your confidence. You’ll always leave my studio feeling beautiful!

Each lesson comes with detailed documents that list all the products used and outline the steps covered to help you recreate the look at home.

What To Expect At Your Lesson

The focus of every makeup lesson is on technique-based learning, with an emphasis on natural looking makeup that is suitable for the individual’s skin tone, age, and lifestyle. The makeup lesson is an opportunity to learn, and not really the time for a makeover. Learning means that things may not look perfect, but trusting the process is an essential part of learning. A skill is something that is practiced, and then perfected; allowing some time for the skill to materialize is necessary.

These makeup lessons were designed to steer away from trends and focus on makeup techniques that will help you create a makeup look that works for you. If you are looking to learn how to do makeup that will completely change how you look, these lessons are not for you. Techniques such as cut creases, liquid eyeliner, full coverage “instaglam” makeup, and advanced contouring are not what these lessons are about. Rather, the techniques taught are foundational, and focus on the individuals’ unique features, skin tone and what is flattering for them.

Talking points and techniques we go over

  • A step-by-step tutorial teaching you how to create a complete, natural makeup look
  • Foundation matching tips, and how to blend for a seamless, professional finish
  • A list of all the products and tools used
  • Product recommendations based on your lifestyle, budget, and skin type.
  • A private and relaxing atmosphere to get the most out of your lesson.
  • The opportunity to test a clean, safe beauty brand that is high performing, professional and luxurious.

How To Prepare for Your Lesson

  • To prep the skin for makeup, exfoliate gently twice a week, and apply a light moisturizer daily. I recommend you do this 2 week prior to coming for your lesson. NOTE: if you are not sure what product to use, please contact me and I will provide recommendations.
  • It is recommended to arrive to your lesson with a clean, makeup-free face.
  • Please do not bring anyone with you to your lesson.
  • Payment should be made prior to your lesson. If you are paying in cash, please have the exact amount ready before the lesson begins.
  • If you require glasses, a magnifying mirror can be provided here at my studio.
  • Hair should be completely off your face, tied or pinned back including bangs.
  • I teach exclusively with Jane Iredale Cosmetics. I do suggest you bring your makeup bag and products you use, so I can assess what you have and make recommendations.
