Your One on One Makeup Lesson

Your wedding is more than a single day. A private makeup lesson can give you the skill to handle your own touch-ups between the big moments, so you feel fresh for every photo.

We will focus entirely on what you want to learn. We can work on creating a soft look for a family gathering, or finally master that sharp winged eyeliner you have always wanted.

A Makeup Class for Beginners

If you are new to makeup or just want to refine your skills, this is a great place to begin. It is your time to ask all your questions in a comfortable and personal setting.

We will go step by step through a full look, explaining each part of the process so it all makes sense. You will leave knowing how to recreate it yourself.

Learn with the Makeup You Already Own

The goal is to make you comfortable with your own tools. Bring your makeup bag to your lesson, from your favorite foundations to the palettes you have never opened.

We will go through it all together. We can help you discover new ways to use what you have and suggest what might be missing for the looks you want to create.
