You don't need to learn how I do makeup. You need to learn how to do your own. This isn't about turning you into a professional makeup artist — it's about teaching you to become really good at doing the face you actually wake up with every morning. Bring your own makeup bag; we work with what's in it.

Why the tutorial never worked
How many times have you watched a makeup tutorial, bought exactly the products, followed every step… and somehow it looked completely different on you?
There's a reason. That wasn't your face.
Different eyes. Different skin. Different proportions. Different features.
Bring your makeup bag
Yes. The one at home. Bring it.
Bring the foundation you bought because TikTok said it was amazing. Bring the eyeshadow palette where you've used exactly two colours and have absolutely no idea what the other twelve are for. Bring the lipstick that looked incredible in the shop and somehow hasn't left the drawer since. Bring the expensive product you're afraid you're using incorrectly.
I want to see what you actually own. Because before I tell you to buy something new, let's first see whether you already have everything you need.
First, we clean up the confusion
One of the biggest problems I see isn't that women don't own enough makeup. Usually, it's the opposite. Too many products. Too many tutorials. Too many trends. And no idea which of them actually work for their face.
So we start there. What works? What doesn't? What are you missing? What did you probably never need to buy in the first place? And what can we finally take out of the drawer and actually use?
No 25-product shopping list at the end. Promise.
Then we work on your face
This isn't a course where you sit and watch me do everything. You do it.
I demonstrate. I explain why. Then you try it yourself.
Because watching somebody blend eyeshadow beautifully doesn't mean you'll know what to do tomorrow morning when you're standing alone in your bathroom. I want you to leave knowing: okay, I can actually do this.
What will you learn?
The course is adapted to your level, your products and what you actually want to be able to do. We can work on:
- preparing your skin before makeup
- choosing and applying the right foundation
- concealer — where you need it and where you probably don't
- setting makeup without making the skin look heavy
- bronzer and contour — and yes, there is a difference
- blush placement for your face
- highlighter without turning into a disco ball
- shaping and filling your eyebrows
- simple everyday eye makeup
- eyeshadow placement for your eye shape
- eyeliner and how to make it work with your eyes
- mascara and lashes
- lip liner and lipstick
- turning your day makeup into an evening look
- choosing colours that work beautifully on you
- making your makeup last longer
- understanding which brushes and tools you actually need
“But I'm terrible at makeup.”
Good. Then you definitely don't need to impress me.
I've heard it all: I can't do eyeliner. My eyes are impossible. Foundation always looks bad on me. I don't know where bronzer goes. I literally use the same makeup I learned when I was 20.
Perfect. That's exactly why the course exists. You don't come because you already know. You come to learn.
And, probably most importantly, you'll learn when to stop — because sometimes the best next step in makeup is no next step at all.
No Instagram face required
I'm not going to teach you that everybody needs contour, false lashes, overlined lips and twelve layers of complexion products.
Maybe you love all of that. Then we'll work with it. Maybe you want five products and ten minutes in the morning. We'll work with that too.
Your makeup routine needs to fit your life. Not mine.
One to one
If you want my full attention on your face, your products and your technique, choose an individual Self-Makeup Course.
This is completely personalised. We work at your pace. You can ask every question you've ever had about makeup — even the ones you think are stupid. They're not.
And because it's just us, we spend the time on exactly the things you want to improve.
Or bring your friends
There's also a version where learning makeup becomes a little more social. MakeUp & Wine is my group self-makeup experience for friends, birthdays, girls' nights or simply an excuse to finally get everyone together.
You bring the faces. I'll bring the makeup knowledge. And yes — there can be wine.
My approach
I've worked as a professional makeup artist for years. But I don't want you to become dependent on a makeup artist every time you want to feel put together. Quite the opposite.
I want you to understand your face. I want you to know what works on it. I want you to open your makeup bag without wondering what half of it does.
And next time you have dinner, a meeting, a date or simply a morning when you want to look a little more polished — I want you to be able to do it yourself. That's the whole point.
