“The most beautiful make-up for a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy”. Yves Saint Laurent
While I can’t promise passion, I can show you how the right colours, textures and techniques can subtly lift, brighten and refresh your appearance — at any age.
As we move through our 40s and beyond, our skin changes. Foundation can settle differently. Eye make-up can feel heavier. Lipstick shades that once worked may now feel too harsh — or too dull.
If you’ve been applying your make-up the same way for years and sense it no longer feels quite right, are unsure about which shades truly flatter you, or simply want a fresher, more modern approach, this session offers clarity and confidence.
Equally, if you’ve never really worn make-up — perhaps you’ve felt overwhelmed by choice, unsure where to begin, or worried about looking overdone — this is a gentle and supportive place to start. You don’t need prior knowledge or experience. Together, we’ll build a simple, flattering routine that feels natural, comfortable and entirely you.
Whether you’re refining what you already do or starting from scratch, the goal is the same: effortless, age-appropriate make-up that enhances rather than masks, and leaves you feeling polished but still like yourself.
What You’ll Learn
In this personalised lesson, you will discover:
• How to care for and prepare your skin for a smoother finish
• Foundation tones that complement your natural colouring
• Blush placement that lifts and softens
• Eye make-up techniques that enhance without overpowering
• Lip shades that brighten and balance
• A quick, effortless everyday routine
• How to adapt your look for special occasions
I will guide you step by step through the application process, demonstrating each stage clearly and allowing time for questions. You’ll see exactly how the products are applied — and why certain shades work beautifully for you.
A Calm, Supportive Environment
Unlike department store counters with harsh lighting and rushed advice, your session takes place in natural daylight in my studio, allowing you to try different shades properly and see the true effect on your complexion.
You are welcome to bring your existing make-up, if you have any. I will advise which products continue to serve you well and which may benefit from updating.
If you wish, you will also have the opportunity to purchase Colour Me Beautiful products so you can recreate your refreshed look confidently at home.
