How it works for you

A Transformative Experience

A distillation of our company’s 45+ years’ experience teaching and making natural beauty, The Ultimate Beauty Lesson gives you the tools to transform the way you look, and the way you feel about how you look. If you’ve ever felt curious about makeup, or a bit daunted by it, but haven’t been sure where to start, this lesson will give you a comprehensive and in-depth overview of all the main skills in makeup and inspire the confidence to try more. It’s the perfect gift for yourself, and for someone you care about.

What You Will Learn

  • How to look brighter, fresher, and more wide-awake every day
  • How to enhance your best features and have confidence in the way you look
  • How to get a flawless, even, natural complexion without layers of cakey product
  • Which colours for eyes, cheeks and lips suit your natural beauty best, so you never waste money shopping for makeup again
  • One natural makeup look to look your best every day
  • One sophisticated makeup look to pull out for that special occasion, wow your friends and family and look your best in photographs

Lesson Outline

  • We start with a skin assessment, facial cleanse, tone and prime, to refresh and prep the skin, and make tailored recommendations for keeping skin its glowing best in the long haul.
  • We advise the best base for your skin type and tone – looking at which texture, shade and undertone will suit you best. We also colour match you to the perfect fit in our own range, with bespoke blending as needed.
  • We develop a bespoke day time look together that enhances your natural features. We take it step by step through base, brows, cheeks, lips and eyes, consulting as we go to find the perfect colour choices and textures for you.
  • We develop a bespoke evening look together, building on the base of the day look so you can see how you can easily go from one to the other. We focus on eye makeup (will you choose a smoky eye or feline flick?) natural contouring and highlighting, and lip colour (statement and neutral). We can also teach you how to apply false lashes.

By the end of the lesson you will be wearing a full makeup look, so it’s the perfect treat before an outing with friends or family.

Our Method

At each step our makeup artist will illustrate the technique on one side of your face, and you complete the step on the other side of your face with their support and guidance, and in your own time.

We tailor the support to your skill level so, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned makeup maven, you’ll learn something new and useful.

We’ll record everything in a personalised lesson booklet for you to take away and refer to at home.

We’ll also draw on our unique perspective as makeup creators to recommend the best formulas of skincare and makeup for your skin’s specific needs that will feel comfortable, care for your skin and look effortlessly natural.

What’s Included In Your Lesson

  • A personalised makeup summary documenting your lesson so you can practise the techniques you have learned and recall the colours and tricks we recommended
