Frequently Asked Questions
Yes!
My bring-a-friend lessons are perfect if you want to learn alongside someone you’re comfortable with. These sessions allow both of you to receive personalized guidance while keeping the experience fun and interactive.
Since we’ll be working together, I’ll tailor the lesson to cover techniques that work for both of you while still allowing for hands-on practice and individual tips.
I recommend booking a 90-minute or 120-minute session to allow enough time for both of you to learn, ask questions, and get the most out of your lesson.
My makeup lessons are for anyone who wants to improve their skills, whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your technique. Each lesson is customized to match your experience level, personal style, and goals.
For a fully personalized experience, I offer one-on-one and bring-a-friend lessons, where we can focus on your unique features, routine, and skill level.
If you’re looking for a fun group setting, my makeup parties are designed around a specific topic, with a structured lesson, hands-on practice, and a Q&A session. This way, everyone leaves with a solid foundation without focusing too much on individual details.
No matter where you are in your makeup journey, I’ll guide you through practical techniques that fit your routine, helping you feel more confident in your application skills.
I strongly recommend bringing your daily essentials and brushes so I can get a better understanding of what you’re working with. This allows me to show you how to use the products and tools you already have during the hands-on learning portion.
If you’re unsure about your products or need recommendations, I’ll provide professional guidance and can suggest additions to help you build a makeup kit that works best for you.
For personalized lessons, I book up to 120 minutes—anything longer can feel overwhelming and hard to retain. The right length depends on what you want to focus on:
- 60 minutes – Great for quick refreshers, makeup kit reviews, and product recommendations
- 90 minutes – Ideal for learning basic techniques with time left for questions.
- 120 minutes – Best for learning new techniques or getting a detailed review of your current skills.
Group lessons are only booked as 180-minute sessions to allow time for breaks, hands-on learning, and a Q&A portion so everyone gets the most out of the experience.
One-on-one and bring-a-friend lessons are designed for personalized learning, where we focus on your specific goals, routine, and skill level. These sessions allow for detailed instruction and hands-on practice tailored just for you.
Group lessons (makeup parties) are structured around a single topic, making them a fun and interactive way to learn. They include a guided lesson, hands-on application, and a Q&A session so everyone leaves with a solid foundation in the chosen subject. While not as individualized, they’re a great way to build skills in a supportive group setting.
Booking is simple!
Just reach out with your preferred lesson type, duration, and date, and I’ll confirm availability within 24 hours.
Once we finalize the details, I’ll send a booking link where you can secure your spot with a deposit.
After that, I’ll provide everything you need to prepare for your lesson.
One-on-one and bring-a-friend lessons are held in-studio, where we have great natural lighting and professional equipment to make the most of your session. This setup allows for the best learning environment with everything you need at your fingertips.
Group lessons take place wherever you’re hosting the party. Just make sure the space has room for me to setup studio lighting, seating, and table space so everyone has a comfortable setup for learning and hands-on practice.
Yes!
My lessons are designed for all experience levels, including complete beginners. If you’re new to makeup, we’ll start with the basics—understanding products, choosing the right tools, and learning simple techniques that suit your features.
I’ll break everything down step by step, so you can learn at a comfortable pace. By the end of the lesson, you’ll have the skills to create looks that feel natural and easy to apply.
Absolutely!
Whether you want to perfect your eyeliner, master a smoky eye, or create a natural everyday look, your lesson is completely customizable.
When booking, let me know what you’d like to focus on, and I’ll tailor the session so you get hands-on practice and expert guidance for the techniques you want to learn.
I completely understand that plans can change!
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible. To secure your date and time, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking.
If you cancel before your final payment is due, there’s no additional charge.
For one-on-one and bring-a-friend lessons, final payments are due 48 hours before your lesson.
For group lessons, final payment is required 14 days in advance to accommodate scheduling and preparations.
If you need to cancel after the final payment has been made and you choose to reschedule, your final payment will be applied to your new appointment. However, a new booking deposit will be required to secure the new date.
This policy helps make sure I can accommodate as many clients as possible while respecting everyone’s time.
I’m here to make everything as smooth as possible, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
