Personal Makeup Lessons in London

I’m Julie Jacobs an international Makeup Artist with over 25 years experience in fashion, beauty, bridal and bespoke one-to-one personal makeup lessons.

My lessons are designed to help you master hands-on techniques to suit your unique features, style, and lifestyle.  Whatever your experience; I have three lessons for you to choose from, The Original, The Mini and The Ultimate here, for a comparison table click here.

If you would like to know more about me and my work see my biography here.

 
 

My personal one-to-one makeup lessons will help you feel confident, polished, and truly like yourself, whether you wear next to no makeup, wear make-up daily, or just want to learn something new for a special occasion.  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 replicate.

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.  During the session I take detailed photographs (included in all lessons) and film high-quality video tutorials (the Original and Ultimate lessons only) so you can refer back to whenever you need.  All products used will be noted for you too.

Whether you are a beginner and 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.  Please see Frequently Asked Questions here for more details.

Makeup Lesson, Before & After

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. (The Ultimate Lesson)

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.

Zeynep. 26yrs London. I had such a great time with Julie and she covered all the applications I wanted to learn. One of the best parts is the videos and incredibly detailed charts she provides with the course, so you can always go back to them and remember what you learned. Thank you so much, Julie!!

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.  No praise is too high for this experience - I came away feeling refreshed, confident, and  inspired.”
