Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a makeover?

No.

This is education.

You'll learn how to recreate the look yourself using techniques tailored to your features and mature skin. My goal is independence — not dependency.

What should I bring?

Bring your current makeup bag.

I will review what's worth keeping, what's working against you, and where strategic upgrades make sense.

Do you recommend products?

Yes — thoughtfully.

I recommend products that perform well on mature skin. You'll receive customized suggestions based on your lifestyle and budget.

What is the investment?

Private lessons are $425.

Payment secures your appointment.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

I haven't really updated my makeup in years. Will this feel overwhelming?

Not at all — that's exactly why I'm here. We'll start with where you are right now, with no pressure, no judgment, and no 'you should have been doing this.' Just a calm, practical session built around your face and your life.

What if I'm not sure what my problems are?

That's completely normal — and it's fine. You don't need to arrive with a list. I'll assess your skin, your current products, and your routine during the session. Most clients discover things they didn't even know were the issue.

Do I need to buy new products before my lesson?

No. Bring what you have. We'll work with your current products, and I'll let you know what's serving you and what isn't. After the lesson you'll receive a curated product list if you'd like to make changes — but there's no pressure to buy anything.

Is it just the two of us?

Yes, always. It's a private, one-on-one session in your own home. No audience, no sales pressure, no rushing to the next client. Just focused, personal time — the way it should be.

LOGISTICS

Where do lessons take place?

I come to you — your home, your mirror, your lighting. There's no unfamiliar studio to navigate, no parking to figure out. Just a calm, focused session in your own space.

I serve Sooke, Victoria, and surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether I travel to your location, just reach out and ask.

What happens after my lesson?

You'll receive a personalized face chart — a visual reference guide for your new routine — plus a curated product recap with direct shopping links. About two weeks later I'll check in to see how things are going and answer any follow-up questions.

Where do you travel for lessons?

I serve Sooke, Victoria, and the surrounding areas on Vancouver Island. If you're outside this area and unsure, feel free to reach out — I'm happy to let you know.
