What happens in the lesson?

Skincare. Being a teenager often means unruly skin. We believe the best way to cope with this is a gentle, consistent regime of cleansing and moisturising. Starting good skincare habits will not just solve immediate concerns, but it will set them up for a lifetime of skin that looks its best, whatever their age. So our artists start with a facial cleanse, tone, and prime, and in doing so develop tailored skincare recommendations to keep skin clear and cared for now and in the future.

Concealer. As needed, we share tips for managing breakouts and redness, including how best to conceal them and put them back of mind with light and breathable cover-up.

Base. We will show them which shade and formula of base, and concealer, most closely matches their natural skin tone.

Colour. We assess skin undertone and overall colouring and illustrate which shades of makeup will look most naturally flattering. Being a teenager is the perfect time to go wild and experiment with anything and everything, but knowing their true colours from the get-go will give them the choice to curate their look intentionally.

Together with the artist, we then build a bespoke makeup look of their choice, covering eyes, lips, brows and cheeks.

Do they get time to practise?

Yes. At each step our makeup artist will illustrate the technique on one side of their face, and they complete the step on the other side of their face with support and guidance, and in their own time.

Is there an age limit?

This lesson is for under-18s only. Our youngest lesson participants tend to be 12 or 13.
