Makeup Lessons that Fit Your Life

This makeup education space started with words I kept hearing, often spoken with a bit of embarrassment:

“Am I doing this right?”
“I never really learned about makeup.”
“I’ve been doing my makeup the same way for years.”

If you’ve ever stood in front of the mirror and felt unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck in a rut with your makeup, you’re not alone.

You’re exactly who I created this space for.

  • Kirsty

    Emilie was INCREDIBLE. When I arrived for my lesson, she was so fully prepared and had structured the lesson based on my needs. It was relaxed, easy, and she never made me feel out of my depth or pushed me to do anything that wasn't for me.

  • Kim

    I had a one-on-one makeup session with Emilie for a bit of a refresh and to pick up some new tips - and I’m so glad I did. She showed me new techniques that I hadn’t tried before and explained everything as she went, which made it easy to follow along and actually remember afterwards. I walked away feeling way more confident in my own skills, which honestly was the best part. There was no sales pitch or a generic tutorial - it felt personal. Would I go back? 110%.

  • Simone

    This was way above my expectations! I booked this for a fun birthday present, and we all just loved it. Emilie was so knowledgeable and I feel like I’ve gained so much insight. Would recommend to anyone.

  • Kate

    I had an amazing makeup lesson, and I can't recommend it enough! Emilie was incredibly informative and took the time to help us work with the makeup we already had, which I really appreciated. Her tips were tailored to our skin type and age, making the whole experience so practical and relevant. She also provided great recommendations for products we could add to our kit, catering for all budgets. I walked away feeling more confident and excited to experiment with makeup. Absolutely loved it.

A makeup lesson is even better with friends (and maybe a little bubbly…)

  • Kelly

    The 1:1 Makeup Lesson was the perfect option for me. With a questionnaire beforehand, the session was tailored to exactly what was needed. Emilie was great to deal with, communication was super easy, and there was heaps of info sent to me afterwards to reinforce what was talked about.

  • Sara

    We had a great group session with Emilie. She was professional, friendly, and had answers to our queries. We now feel more confident knowing what colors suit us and learned some helpful techniques to make applying our makeup easier.

  • Moon

    I'm not much of a makeup person, so I didn't know what kind of look I wanted, or what products, colours, and shades worked best with my skin. Emilie did an amazing job at figuring all this out for me, while explaining what she was doing and what each product was for each step. She made the whole process comfortable, I was super happy with the end result. I even purchased brow gel to use after the lesson, which I didn't even know existed before meeting Emilie. 10/10 would recommend.

  • Gemma

    Our group lesson was a great experience. Emilie made us feel at ease straight away, and she went the extra mile for us. She knows her craft and how to master a flawless look. Highly recommend!
