Sophie will adapt the whole lesson to your needs and most importantly identify your Skin Type, Skin Tone, Face Shape and Eye colour which will be needed when learning about your face more in-depth.

The lesson will consist of Sophie applying makeup to one side of your face and you repeating onto the other side. 
(This helps you learn as you go)

You will be using Sophie's luxury makeup products and tools, so you have nothing to worry about.

Also you will walk away with a personalised Face Chart, adapted to you throughout the lesson

  1. Confidence Issues: Lack of confidence in their makeup skills can be a significant pain point. They may feel unsure about how to apply makeup properly or which products to use.
     

  2. Ineffective Products: Many women struggle with choosing and using the right makeup products. They may have purchased products that don't work well for their skin type or tone.
     

  3. Aging Concerns: As women age, they might face challenges like wrinkles, fine lines, or changes in skin texture that can make makeup application more complex.
     

  4. Colour Matching: Finding the right shades of foundation, concealer, and makeup for their skin tone and undertone can be a frustrating and confusing process.
     

  5. Time Constraints: Busy schedules may leave them with little time to dedicate to a makeup routine, making them seek efficient and time-saving techniques.
     

  6. Skin Issues: Women with skin issues such as acne, redness, or uneven skin tone may struggle to conceal or minimise these imperfections with makeup.
     

  7. Outdated Techniques: Some may have learned makeup techniques that worked for them in the past but no longer suit their current needs or trends.
     

  8. Overwhelmed by Choices: The beauty industry offers an overwhelming array of makeup products and tools, making it challenging to know where to start.
     

  9. Allergies or Sensitivities: Women with allergies or sensitivities may struggle to find makeup products that won't irritate their skin or eyes.
     

  10. Inconsistent Results: They might experience frustration due to inconsistent makeup results; some days their makeup looks great, while other days it doesn't.
     

  11. Fear of Aging: Concerns about looking older may drive them to seek makeup techniques that help them look more youthful and radiant.
     

  12. Lack of Personalisation: Many women desire a makeup routine tailored to their unique features and preferences rather than following generic makeup tutorials.
     

  13. Occasional Makeup Needs: Some women only wear makeup on special occasions and may lack the skills for creating those specific looks.
     

  14. Transitional Periods: Those going through life transitions, such as changing careers or transitioning in gender, may need guidance on adjusting their makeup routines accordingly.
     

  15. Self-Expression: They might feel limited in their ability to express their individuality and style through makeup due to a lack of skills or creativity.

I had an appointment this morning with Sophie for a Make Up lesson and absolutely loved every minute. As a busy working mum of 2 I had let my skincare routine become non existent and rarely did my make up.
 

Sophie talks about what you would like from the lesson and goes through step by step of what products she advises to use and how to apply them. After the lesson I went away feeling really pampered and a head full of info but luckily I think I'd remember most of it.
 

I was really pleased with my look feel confident that I can recreate it myself once I've bought the products.

I would not hesitate to recommend Makeup by Sophie Downing to anyone.

I've got Sophie booked for my wedding next year but I'm sure I might go before to pick up other tips and techniques

Highly recommend Sophie! I had a makeup lesson yesterday and learned so much from her, plus had lots of complements throughout the rest of the day. Very knowledgeable and lovely, and I've learnt lots of new techniques.

 

 

 

 

 


Had a great experience with Sophie and the “know your face” one to one. I learnt so much I didn’t know and it confirmed some things I did and I’m a lot more confident now. I’ve invested in some good make up and brushes and actually know how to use them now! I’ll be doing more of the classes for sure

I started my make up Journey in January this year and Sophie has been invaluable. Sophie has helped and taught me so much over the past few months with my online makeup lessons on Zoom. I can't thank Sophie enough.
 

I had a skincare consultation and make up bag revamp yesterday and I was so worried, being new to make up I was worried I had all the wrong products and that I wouldn't be able to explain my concerns.

Sophie made me feel at ease, patiently listened to me while we went through my products and made recommendations on changes and products to invest in to improve my kit.

 

I would highly recommend a makeup bag revamp and Know Your Own Face lesson, as I found it to be very useful. xx
