About Face – Makeup Lessons

SMALL_Sally_branding_HIGHRES_005 copy

Being a professional makeup artist, friends and clients are continually asking me how to apply their own makeup. Sometimes it’s as simple as which kind of foundation to use, or whether or not to buy a certain makeup brush or product, other times it’s details how to perfectly apply the classic smokey eye or an effortless natural look for daytime. I absolutely L.O.V.E sharing my tips and giving advice on makeup application and products, so this progression of my makeup artistry business here on the Sunshine Coast is a natural step for me.

So, what can you expect when you book me for a lesson? Firstly, it’s all about you – I will personalise your lesson to exactly what you want to learn. If you’re not sure, I will be happy to talk it through with you and make a suggestion on what I believe will suit your style and lifestyle so you can hussy yourselves up with the best of them!

My makeup lessons will be super fun, and you can book in as a group for a fun afternoon or evening with the girls before heading out on the town. Or if you would prefer some one-on-one attention and privacy, you can also book in for a private tutorial.

What you will definitely learn:

  • How to choose a shade and type of foundation that will suit your skin type, complexion and lifestyle
  • The look of your choice –  for everyday, for night, or you can opt to learn something really specific, such as stage makeup, which is where I first discovered my love for makeup!
  • How to use the products you already own (absolutely bring them along!)
  • Contouring and highlighting to flatter and improve the appearance of the shape of your face
  • Which products are must-haves for you, and which ones you can get by without
  • Personalised product advice
  • Colour choice advice
  • Practical advice on makeup designs to suit certain outfits/styles and occasions

PRIVATE TUTORIAL FOR ONE:

  • 2-hour one-on-one personalised makeup lesson
  • Detailed instruction on one to two makeup looks with hands-on practical learning
  • Instruction on how to use the products already in your makeup bag, plus advice on what to keep, what to chuck, and what you need in products and brushes
  • Personal colour advice on foundations, eye, cheek and lip colour
  • All of my best professional makeup artist tips and tricks!

COST: $250

GROUP PACKAGE:

  • 3-hour personalised makeup lesson for you and your friends*
  • Detailed instruction on one to two makeup looks with hands-on practical learning
  • Each individual is encouraged to bring along their makeup bag for advice on what to keep, what to chuck, and what you need in products and brushes
  • Personal colour advice on foundations, eye, cheek and lip colour for each person
  • All of my best professional makeup artist tips and tricks!

COST: $100 per person

*Minimum 4 people. If group exceeds 6 people, a second makeup artist will be employed so each person still receives personal attention.

This makes the perfect Christmas gift, graduation gift or birthday gift. Buy for someone who would love to learn more about makeup and I will send you a personalised digital gift voucher to present to them.

Great idea for a birthday party, hen’s night or wedding shower! Also a great idea for young women to learn about being flattering and appropriate with makeup design – mothers, give your teenage daughters a great start into the world of makeup!

Young dancers wanting their mums to finally stop touching their faces (which was my motivation for wanting to learn about makeup!), or ladies embarking on first-time Burlesque performances, this is my jam, I would love to teach you how to shine on stage in the makeup department!
