Teen Makeup Lesson

A first makeup lesson done properly. One-on-one, hands-on, and pitched at a teenager rather than a scaled-down adult session.

The skincare half comes first, and it is the half that matters most at this age. Knowing how to look after skin before covering it prevents a lot of the problems that bring people back years later. Then light application: how much is enough, how to blend it, and how to take it off properly at night.

The aim is a look that enhances rather than hides. Teenagers are usually taught makeup by tutorials filmed under studio lighting for adult faces, and the results do not translate. This is the correction to that.

Where it sits: for a parent and teenager together, the Makeup Lesson for Two covers you both. For a birthday with friends, the Group Makeup Workshop.

If breakouts are part of the picture, say so when you book. Makeup over active acne is a technique question and a product question, and it is worth spending part of the session on.
