About Makeup Lessons & Masterclasses
Makeup can feel very different as skin changes with age, menopause, health or lifestyle.
Colours that once worked may no longer suit. Products can behave differently on the skin. Techniques that felt effortless years ago may now feel heavy, outdated or ineffective.
Our makeup lessons and masterclasses are designed to help you adapt your makeup with confidence, offering guidance that is practical, relevant and supportive — never trend-led or overwhelming.
HOSTED BY Gemma
Makeup lessons and masterclasses are hosted by Gemma, a senior practitioner at the clinic with many years’ experience as a professional makeup artist.
Alongside her work in permanent makeup, skin treatments and brow care, Gemma has worked extensively in makeup for:
- fashion events, including Cheltenham Fashion Week
- UK designers
- weddings and special occasions
This background gives her a strong understanding of facial balance, skin behaviour and real-world makeup — how makeup looks in different lighting, how it wears throughout the day, and how it needs to adapt for different ages, skin types and life stages.
Gemma’s approach is calm, practical and confidence-led. She focuses on helping women feel comfortable and like themselves, rather than teaching rigid rules or trends.
How these sessions are used
Makeup lessons and masterclasses may be booked:
- as one-to-one lessons
- as small group sessions
- as seasonal masterclasses (for example, spring refresh, summer makeup, festive looks)
- alongside permanent makeup or brow treatments
- as part of a confidence or self-care reset
Sessions are relaxed, informative and tailored to real life.
Seasonal masterclasses
Throughout the year, we host a small number of seasonal makeup masterclasses, led by Gemma.
These sessions evolve to reflect:
- seasonal changes in skin
- lighter or more polished makeup needs
- upcoming events or social occasions
- technique and product updates
The format and focus of seasonal masterclasses may change throughout the year.
Current classes and availability are listed on our Pricing page.
What To Expect
Makeup lessons and masterclasses focus on:
- enhancing your natural features
- adapting makeup for ageing or menopausal skin
- understanding what works for you
- simplifying routines where possible
- building confidence rather than chasing trends
You’ll have space to ask questions, try techniques and learn at a comfortable pace.
How this fits with other treatments
Makeup education works particularly well alongside:
- brow shaping and tinting
- permanent makeup
- skin treatments
It’s often the final piece that helps everything feel balanced and cohesive.
Who these sessions suit
Makeup lessons and masterclasses are often chosen by women who:
- feel unsure about their current makeup
- want to update techniques for mature skin
- are navigating menopause or skin changes
- have had permanent makeup and want everything to work together
- want to feel confident and comfortable, not “made up”
No previous experience is required.
Pricing & Availability
Pricing varies depending on:
- whether the session is one-to-one or group
- the seasonal focus
- session length and format
