GIFT VOUCHERS for Personal Makeup LESSONs
The Best Gift They'll Use Every Single Day!
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 personal makeup lessons are a gift of new skills, renewed confidence and looks they’ll love. They’re the perfect gift for: - Anyone who wants to refresh or update their makeup routine - Busy person who wants to learn a quick, polished everyday look - Special occasions, parties and nights out
My lessons are designed to help clients to master hands-on techniques to suit their features, style, and lifestyle. Whatever their experience; I have three lessons to choose from, The Original, The Mini and The Ultimate here, for a quick look comparison table click here.
This Christmas, give something they'll keep using long after the festive season is over!
**All vouchers are valid for 3 months from date of purchase EXCEPT Christmas vouchers which are valid for four months from 26th December, up to and including 25th April.**
During the lesson, I’ll demonstrate each application on one side of the face, then guide clients as they complete the other side themselves. 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 everyone has something they can refer back to whenever needed. All products used will be noted too.
Whether a beginner and new to makeup or looking to refresh a routine, my aim is to create a relaxed, supportive space where anyone can ask questions, try new techniques, and discover what really works for them. Please see Frequently Asked Questions here for more details and client testimonials here.

Skincare. I will go through your skincare routine to assess if and how it can be improved upon while taking into account your life style and budget. As a trained Beauty Therapist I truly believe makeup looks its best when the skin is as healthy as it can be.
Complexion. How to choose, test and apply the best foundation or tinted moisturiser, powder, and concealer (with specific coverage of acne, birthmarks or facial scarring) for your skin type and desired coverage.
Highlighting, contouring (if required) and bronzing and the correct placement for your face shape
Blusher. I’ll take you through the differing effects cream or powders have on the skin and the appropriate occasions when to use them. Also, I’ll show you the colours that work best with your complexions under-colour and where and how to apply correctly for your face shape.
Eyes. For your eyes, I will help you to: identify your eye shape, choose colours and formulas, shading and highlighting using the best techniques to apply these different products. Most of us dream of achieving that dark sultry 'classic' smokey eye, but in all honesty, the ‘classic’ doesn't suit everyone. That doesn’t mean you can’t achieve an equally deep sensual blended look with colours and placement that actually suit you.
Lips. Whether you have full or fine lips you’ll learn how to make the most out of your shape by looking at the following: Types of lipsticks i.e. sheer or matt and which to apply for the look you are trying to achieve. Your lip shape and how to discreetly alter it. How to choose suitable colours for your complexions under-colour. How and when (or not) to use lip liners.
Amber 48yrs & Ellie 14yrs. London. “I booked the Ultimate with Julie as a gift for my teenage daughter. I was hoping that my daughter would learn some concrete application skills and develop some different looks for different occasions. The session was excellent - tailored to my daughter, always sensitive to age-appropriateness, and with follow up videos to practice at home. We also just had a lovely day, Julie is great company and clearly a highly experienced professional with tons of experience. Highly recommend!” … Ellie. “I had a really great time, and feel much more confident with my makeup now. We did such fun looks!”
Megan. London. My mother bought me the full experience (The Ultimate Makeup Lesson) with Julie as a birthday gift, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was so warm and welcoming when I arrived, offering me coffee and a light breakfast. During the session, she never made me feel silly (for not knowing many things about makeup), and I felt like I learned so much and could ask her anything. I really do recommend getting the full package so that you have videos and photos to refer back to, as there was so much information that at times it did feel a little overwhelming trying to remember everything. Julie did half my face with one style of makeup and then also had me try and apply what I had just learned, while filming and taking photos. After the session was over, we had a lovely lunch before I headed out. The full product list that I received a few days afterwards (with a link to each item) was honestly perfect.

My lessons are bespoke so suitable for all abilities. Once I confirm a lesson I send out a questionnaire which helps me to understand more about you and your goals.
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 exceeded my expectations! Thank you so much again :) (The Ultimate Lesson)
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)
-
The Ultimate lesson includes 6 personalised face charts. These contain bespoke instructions along side detailed photographs - taken at various stages of application.
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!! (The Ultimate Lesson)

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.
"Tell me and I will forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand" (Chinese proverb).
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”.

I work with a lot of older clients and know it’s never too late to learn how makeup best works for you. The skins texture and colouring changes over time so as we get older we have to adjust what and how treat it. For example; powder foundation may look great on a twenty something skin, however, the skin will radiate on switching to a nourishing liquid foundation.

Q&As
-
I will cover the following in your lesson:
Skincare routine. As a trained Beauty Therapist I truly believe makeup looks its optimum on a healthy nourished skin. So, an uncomplicated skincare routine is important. I’ll assess your skin type and if and how your routine can be improved - while at the same time taking into account your life style.
Base makeup. How to choose, test and apply the correct foundation formula or tinted moisturiser, powder, and concealer for your skin type and desired coverage. Specific coverage techniques for acne, blemishes, hyper-pigmentation, birthmarks or facial scarring.
Highlighting, contouring/bronzing and the correct placement for your face shape
Blusher. I’ll take you through the differing effects cream or powder blushers have on the skin and the appropriate occasions to use them. Also, recommending the colours that work best with your complexions under-colour and where to apply correctly for your face shape.
Eyes. For your eyes, I will help you to identify your eye shape, choose colours and formulas, shading and highlighting using the best techniques to apply these different products.

Yes please. I like to see what you use regardless of how much or how little you own. You may have some pieces that I think work well on you and I’d show you how I would use them.
-
Yes. I can either email or post a gift voucher for you to give to your loved one.
The voucher is valid for three months from the date of purchase. However, if you’d like to present it to your loved one on their birthday I’d be happy to start the three months from that day.

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 on 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 look radiant.

I can definitely guide you step by step to design your wedding day makeup. I would recommend either The Original or The Ultimate lessons because they include short tutorial videos for you to watch again and again, see the comparison table here.
Before your lesson I request that you complete my questionnaire; I’ll also ask if you could send me photographs of yourself and how you generally wear makeup (regardless of how much or how little), your dress, any hair ideas and even the venue. This all helps me build an overall idea of how you would like present yourself.
-
There are three lessons: The Original and The Ultimate are 4.5 hours ( includes a light breakfast and lunch). The Mini is 2.5 hours.
-
Yes I do offer group/masterclass sessions. Please email me your enquiry and I will respond in full within 36 hours.
-
Online consultations are available. Please email to enquire.
-
The Ultimate lesson includes 6 personalised face charts. These contain detailed photographs taken during your lesson at various stages of application.
All lessons include a shopping list with all the products I used during your lesson.
-
Other than your make-up I simply request that you wear a top that reveals your chest area. It helps to have this area visible when explaining foundation application and how to identify your complexions under-colour.
