Makeup Lessons

One-on-one makeup lessons are held at Hilary's home studio in Strathfield South by appointment request. The content of the lesson is tailored to the your skill level and specific things you want to learn. You will have full use of Hilary's makeup kit and can bring your own makeup so you can learn to utilise what you already have.

Generally a beginners lesson includes:
- Skin preparation
- Creating a fresh flawless base (Primers, foundations, concealing under-eyes / blemishes)
- Eyes (eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lashes)
- Eyebrow shaping to suit your face shape
- Facial balance (Contour, highlight, blush)
- Lips and different lip products
- Makeup brushes 
- Creating casual day look + special occasion look.

The fee for a One on One (2.5 hour) makeup lesson is $350. Some clients wish to just have the one lesson, while others like to have multiple sessions over a few weeks or months, where they can take home what they learnt and put it to practice before coming back for another lesson to hone their skills (additional lessons can be 1 hr $200, 1.5 hours $250 or 2 hours $300).

Hilary is available for one on one makeup lessons or small group lessons when requested.

Feedback


"I recently had a 1:1 makeup class with Hilarie, and honestly, it was such a great experience! She wasn’t just focused on the makeup itself—she really took the time to make me feel comfortable and understood what I wanted to learn. I felt like she genuinely cared about helping me improve, not just teaching for the sake of it.One of the biggest takeaways for me was finally feeling more confident with my eyeshadow and eyeliner. These have always been the trickiest parts of my routine, but Hilarie broke everything down so clearly that I finally feel like I can actually practice and get better at it. It was exactly what I needed to take my makeup skills to the next level.I walked away from the class feeling more confident and excited to play around with new techniques. If you’re looking for a makeup class where someone really listens to you and helps you with what you need, I’d definitely recommend Hilarie! She’s amazing." - Alyssa Aldover Oct 2024

"Hilary is an amazing teacher and provided a very comprehensive introduction to wearing makeup. As a total beginner, I really appreciated how patient and friendly she was as I stumbled through the learning process. The lesson was also very personalised to my personal facial features. Would highly recommend!" - Stephanie Lu Sep 2024

"I did a 1:1 make up lesson with Hilary and it was a really enjoyable experience! Hilary was super patient and took the time to understand what my skill level is and what I wish to learn/focus on. She provided a really personalised and interactive lesson and taught me so many helpful tricks/techniques. I definitely feel a lot more confident doing my own make up after the session! Would 100% recommend Hilary!!" - Tiffany May 2022
