Personal One-to-One Makeup Lessons in London
I’m an international makeup artist with over twenty years of experience in fashion, beauty, and bridal industry.
My personal one-to-one makeup lessons are designed to help you feel confident, polished, and truly like yourself, whether you wear makeup every day or just want to enhance your features for a special occasion. As we age and get older, our skin and features naturally change, and I believe the way we approach makeup should evolve with them. Each session is completely personalised and tailored to your face shape, skin tone, and lifestyle. From skincare prep to the final touches, I’ll teach you techniques that are simple, effective, and easy to use.
Before & After
-
It’s never too late to learn how makeup best works on you. I work with a lot of clients with mature skin. The skins texture and colouring changes over the years so as we get older we have to adjust what and how we apply to it. For example: powder foundation can look great on a twenty something skin, however, as we get older switching to a nourishing liquid foundation would help the skin to radiate.
Beth 33yrs. London. “I wanted to thank you so so much for our time together. Your location is lovely, your hospitality second to none and your expertise was so so appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you know you’ve created a very special experience there”.
Foundation testing
During the lesson, I’ll demonstrate each step on one side of your face, then guide you as you complete the other side yourself. This hands-on approach helps build confidence and makes it easier to remember how to recreate the looks at home. I’ll also film high-quality videos (The Original and Ultimate lessons only) and take detailed photographs (included in all lessons) during the session so you can refer back to whenever you need. I’ll note down every product used during the lesson and other recommendations for you to keep too.
I encourage you to bring your own makeup bag - however big or small - to help you make the most of what you already own. Whether you are brand new to makeup or just looking to refresh your routine, my aim is to create a relaxed, supportive space where you can ask questions, try new techniques, and find what really works for you.
Makeup Lesson, Before & After
Anna. London. Thank you so much for sending my face charts so quickly! I really appreciate the level of detail - this is exactly what I was looking for. It even exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much again :)
Sarah 60yrs. London. “ Julie was an absolute joy. She made it all seem very doable and I am inspired to keep up what she taught me and to even experiment a little after a lifetime of thinking that make-up was just too much bother. Her follow-up face charts are incredibly detailed too.”

Absolutely, I insist. It’s truly the best way to remember what I’ve just shown you and it’s fun too. I will apply the full look on one half of your face. Then on the other side I will explain and demonstrate a product application then you will have a go. This is repeated at every product.
Heidi. 61yrs Hertfordshire. “It is never too late to invest in yourself. At 61, I thought I was now too old to change my habits. Julie immediately put me at ease, talking me through my skin type, my colouring, the shape of my features, and my bone structure as she worked. I learned so much in just a few hours and was delighted with my subtle, new look. Julie is highly skilled, warm, and empathetic. I was also impressed by the range of products she used. No praise is too high for this experience - I came away feeling refreshed, confident, and inspired.”
