“What an excellent experience I had with Val. Her approach to teaching natural makeup application is practical-she focuses on enhancing your features, not masking them. The lesson was clear, thoughtful, and tailored to real, professional, everyday wear.”

Your Questions, Answered.

  • Yes, you can bring your own makeup to a lesson. Don’t have or want to start fresh, that’s ok too. My kit includes everything we need for a full range of complexions and skin types.

  • Come dressed in whatever is comfortable. This is casual and fun.

  • If you know the source of your allergen then we will do the best to avoid it. If you have makeup that you love that doesn’t bother you bring it.

  • We’ll start with a conversation about your goals and preferences to get a sense of your style. We will then cleanse and prep your skin. And now the magic happens.

    I’ll do half your face and show you how to do it. Then, we’ll try the techniques on your other side together so you master the skill.

  • Yes! This is a judgement free zone. I don’t expect you to know everything or anything about makeup.

    There is no such thing as a stupid question!

  • Guests are typically discouraged, especially young children, but I will make exceptions on a case by case basis. I like to treat each appointment as time for the client to relax and enjoy themselves, free of distractions.

    Enjoy some ‘you’ time.

  • Yes! Makeup lessons are the perfect gifts for the people in your life who need a pick me up. I offer gift cards and pre-paid appointments.
