lessons

It seems that sometimes we get to a point in our lives where we just kind of want a re-vamp with our makeup. Maybe you've never really worn it before, or maybe you've been wearing the same look since 1984...haha. Either way, a lesson from a professional could be worth your while!

I have been in the industry for the past ten years and have been teaching women how to apply their own makeup for as long as I can remember. The beauty of having a private instructor is that I am not a salesperson. I want you to be able to use what you have at home to achieve your desired look. I won't laugh at your makeup collection...promise...well, unless it's dirty and old...then I'm going to call you out on it.

I have been asked repeatedly to teach makeup lessons and now I have devised a format in which to teach effectively in a group environment. Basically one person decides that she wants to host a makeup lesson party at her house. She are responsible for rounding up at least three friends. The minimum number of students is four and the maximum is eight. I will come to your place with all of the supplies and teach a 2-3 hour class. I teach through a mixture of demonstration, instruction and hands-on. When I'm done, you will all have had personal makeup advice and the knowledge necessary to replicate the looks at home, by yourself! This is a how-to lesson, so come with a clean, makeup free face and be ready to apply some makeup...

Lessons are tailored to specific needs and I can focus on whatever it is that you are most interested in learning. Although, I would recommend a more basic lesson to start with, that way we can build on what you've learned for future classes. It's always a little hard to run before you can even walk...

Some lesson topics could be:

  • the smokey eye
  • barely there perfection
  • professional daytime makeup
  • clean out that makeup drawer
  • makeup 101: the basics
  • skin care & foundation 101
  • take your day look into evening
  • age-appropriate evening looks

These are always fun evenings filled with laughter and bonding with your girlfriends. You could even turn it into the precursor to a girls night out, because you'll all look pretty amazing when we're finished!

I also love giving lessons on a one on one basis. Those can be done at either my studio or at your place. Personal shopping for makeup and skincare is also a possibility and can be done at any department store or makeup boutique in Chicago.

I look forward to working with you!
