The Blush School of Makeup - Hair & Makeup Lessons

Make-up tips from the trade will show you how to create a flawless look for any occasion.

Blush offers make-up lessons in your own home or office or at the studio with tips from the trade, colour analysis and a guide to application.

Make-up lessons come in two stages, beginners and advanced, however we recommend that if you are new to Blush you start with the beginners lesson to ensure you're on the right track.

Beginners make-up lesson

This lesson is suitable for those who wear very little make-up already and need to learn the basics of make-up application, or are new to Blush.

Advanced make-up lesson

This lesson goes into greater detail and shows you how to take day wear make-up into evening wear and covers the different techniques of shading, colour choices and if you wish, false eyelash application.

The above make-up lessons do have a format but can be tailored to your specific requirements.

Both make-up lessons include:

• A Blush pack including a personal product list of all the items we have used.
• Tips from the top on make-up application and colour analysis.
• Advice on skincare and make-up tips from the top.
• Question and answer session when you get to voice all your needs and concerns with ways to target problem areas.

Personal make-up lessons:

Your Blush make-up artist will work on one half of your face whilst you work on the other under close supervision.

Group lessons are aimed at those needing a beginners lesson unless otherwise stated at the time of booking.

Personal makeup lesson

- The ultimate makeup lesson, focusing on just you, or you and a friend.

Personal (1 to 1) lessons with Jo Reid are held at the studio only.

Group lessons (2+ people)

- This is a really fun way of working and you will be amazed at what you can achieve yourself on each other when you know how. Working in pairs you all get to experience the lesson and will discover how different looks work for different people.

Evening wear makeup is only lightly covered in this class if requested
