1. what exactly does THE MAKEUP BESTIE do?

I guide you through choosing the right products, shades and routines for your features, lifestyle and budget - without overwhelm, pressure or sales tactics. Think of me as your personal beauty advisor.

2. Do you apply makeup on clients?

Yes - but not in the conventional sense.

One of my services, The Tutorial, is a hands-on session where we make sense of the makeup you already have and work through how to use it in a way that suits you.

We’ll apply your makeup together, talking through products, placement and technique as we go, and you’ll leave with a finished face - as well as the knowledge to recreate it yourself.

3. Do I need to know anything about makeup before booking?

Not at all. I work with complete beginners, busy mums, beauty-lovers wanting a refresh, and anyone who’s felt overwhelmed by the industry.

4. Can I upload photos before the session?

Yes - it helps me prepare shade ideas and tailor recommendations. It’s optional but very helpful.

5. Do you work with all ages, skin tones and styles?

Absolutely. My approach is inclusive, flexible and based on what makes you feel like the most confident version of yourself.

6. I’m not sure which service I need - can you help?

Of course. Just send me a message via the contact form and I’ll recommend the best option based on your goals.

7. can i give this as a gift?

Absolutely. Sessions can be gifted and shared via a digital voucher. Simply email over your request or fill in the contact form.

8. Do you advise on skincare as well as makeup?

Not in a clinical sense. I don’t diagnose or treat skin conditions. Any medical or ongoing skin concerns should be addressed by a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

I can help with skin-prep products that work well with your makeup and suit your skin day-to-day.
