Private Makeup Lessons for Mature Skin - Feel Amazing at Any Age
Based in Alton Hampshire but also covering areas in Surrey, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and West Sussex.
Discover the joy of makeup with lessons designed especially for mature skin. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond, my private sessions teach you techniques that flatter and enhance your natural beauty — never mask it.
Why we need a different approach for mature skin
As we age, our skin changes — and so should our makeup techniques. Heavy products and old routines can accentuate fine lines instead of enhancing your best features. My lessons are specifically designed to help you feel radiant, polished, and authentically you.

Client Kind Words
“Nicola came to my house and we spent a very pleasant couple of hours modernising my make up routine to fit my mature skin.
She knows her stuff and I was very impressed that she uses a whole range of different make up brands from across the pricing spectrum to ensure the right products were used on my skin.”
“Having not worn make-up in years, except for lip gloss and mascara, I knew I needed an update/upgrade and found Nicola online. I was reassured that she specialises in women on the more mature side, so booked a session with her.
Nicola was lovely as well as professional. She immediately put me at ease and discussed my cleansing routine and what I wanted to achieve from the lesson. At each stage she explained what she was doing and why, then let me try and answered all my questions. It was a fantastic experience and I was delighted with the results (as were my friends who saw some photos) and I then received a guide along with a list of all the products used and a discount code (which was a bonus).
I could not have been happier with the whole experience and it has been a great investment for me. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone as she has given me the confidence to start wearing make-up again.”
“My lesson with Nicola was absolutely brilliant. I learnt new techniques and even things like how to hold the brushes and how much pressure to apply them was super helpful.
The range of products was helpful and Nicola explained where to splurge and where cheaper brands are fine. She also gave me some tips to make the most of the products I’ve got.
I’d definitely recommend to anyone else looking to get more confident with make up and save money by buying the right products and using them in the right way.”
