Your Luxury 1:1 Beauty Experience
Every lesson is completely personalised and thoughtfully designed around you.
Together we'll discover your skin type, undertones, face shape, eye colour and natural features before creating a makeup look that enhances what already makes you beautiful.
Throughout the lesson, I'll demonstrate each step on one side of your face before guiding you as you recreate it on the other. This relaxed, hands-on approach helps you build confidence while learning techniques you'll remember long after the lesson ends.
You'll enjoy using my collection of luxury professional products and brushes throughout your experience, giving you the opportunity to try products before investing in them yourself.
Before you leave, you'll receive your personalised face chart, bespoke product recommendations and brush guide, so you can confidently recreate your new look at home whenever you choose.
Because this isn't just a makeup lesson.
It's the beginning of understanding your own beauty.

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
