Testimonials (lessons)
As a treat for a friend's birthday, three of us went along for a makeup session. Leading busy lives, we don't normally have time for makeup and as we have got older have lost confidence. Victoria put us at ease and we have a very relaxing, enjoyable session, learning lots and picking up lots of tips. Everything was explained really well and we came away with a face chart to help us remember where to apply. We were very happy with the results and have made an effort to add a bit of sparkle for the start of the working week. We are looking forward to practising and helping each other. Very pleased we found Victoria. Thanks yo for your help and patience - (Jenny Holt - March 2025)
I had a wonderful private session with Victoria on how to apply makeup and advice on daily skin care. She was very patient and made me feel very welcome. All my questions were answered and Victoria gave good advice on what suited my face as well as where to purchase certain products that suited my budget. I now feel. confident in applying makeup for daily wear and for going out. thanks so much for a truly fantastic time - ( Fiona Tregoing - February 2025)
I visited Victoria with my teenager, as part of a 13th birthday present, for her to understand the basics of applying makeup and what colours/tones suited her. Victoria took the time to explain the application methods, base coats and how best to apply products. It was a lovely morning and really informative, even I learnt some new hints and tips! Would definitely recommend, such a lovely experience. (Karen Uttley - January 2025)
My sister and I went to see Victoria as we've been using the same makeup and makeup techniques for about 20 years! It was time for an update from someone who definitely knows what they're doing.
From the moment we arrived at Victoria's beautiful home, we were made to feel very welcome and at ease. Absolutely no judgment on what we were already doing, or any bad habits we'd picked up over the years. Throughout our individual makeup tutorials, Victoria talked through everything she was doing, incorporating some of our own products and much needed advice on different products we would be better off using nowadays.
There is no hard sell, nothing to buy, just solid, affordable, professional advice, according to our skin types and preferences. I cannot recommend Victoria enough and would definitely return to her if I was attending an event. (Sarah & Esther - January 2025)

Myself and a friend had a makeup tutorial with Victoria to get some ideas for a makeup bag refresh. Victoria was so lovely during our appointment and made us feel completely at ease.

It was a great experience all round - (Amy Louise Booker - Nov 2024)

Victoria was great. Tried to understand your complexion and listening to your requirements and found new tones for me to work with rather than my usual boring work day. Loved that she worked with my makeup collections but also suggested, alternatives that she thought might work better or be an alternative - (Claire Scott - Oct 2024)

Brilliant experience for my daughter! Victoria is very patient, really professional and has lots of good advice about skincare and useful makeup tips. Well worth a visit - I'll be booking one for myself next! - (Michelle Bennett - Aug 2024)
My 14 year old daughter loved the session and especially the skincare advice Victoria gave. She feels confident to try the tips and techniques, demonstrated in the lesson. As a mum, I was glad that Victoria's approach is more towards learning the right techniques/colours for your specific face and eye shape, rather than the latest social media craze. I would def recommend - (Joshila DeVile - Aug 2024)

Thoroughly enjoyed my makeup lesson with Victoria and learnt a lot too. Love the new products she has introduced me to. - (Jill White - April 2024)
I bought a vouchers for my teenage daughter for her birthday for a makeup tutorial. She absolutely loved the whole experience with Victoria. She got to bring along her own makeup so Victoria could see what she uses. She colour checked my daughter's skin tone with her products and some of her Victoria's to show her techniques to apply. What she created was a natural look for school and a fuller look for going out but still keeping it naturally beautiful. She didn't try and sell you products but recommended ones that would be good for her skin and complexion. She also advised on skincare, which was really useful for teenagers! I would highly recommend this for any age. Victoria is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The experience was worth it from the smile on her face - (Angel Rogers - April 2024)
Had a wonderful mother/daughter makeup session with Victoria. She tool the time to understand both our skin types and tones and taught us how to apply a natural look that colour matches us exactly. She also showed us what colours would accentuate us for a more calm occasion. A get thing is that Victoria will first try and use what you have in your current makeup bag before advising on any extras to fill in the gaps to elevate your look.- (Nikisha Mistry - April 2024)
I bought my wife and daughter a lesson with Victoria as a present and they came home looking absolutely beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. My wife said that Victoria was so welcoming and knowledgeable, she took time to understand what both Laura and Sophie wanted to get out of the experience and what their lifestyle was like. She then took her time creating the right look with the best/most suitable products, giving advice and teaching clearly as she went. At the end, Victoria even took the time to make notes for them both so they can replicated the look/style themselves - (Aaron Langley - March 2024)
I bought a voucher for my sister-in- law's 50th for a makeup lesson with Victoria (and decided to join her and have one myself). We had no idea what to expect but we were not disappointed! Victoria was absolutely fantastic. She is so very knowledgable and took time to understand our lifestyle, our makeup and us. Using that information, Victoria taught us which colours techniques and type of makeup to use to maximise our middle aged skin, using as much of our own makeup up as possible and using her own where needed to demonstrate better colours/ products. We have come away feeling a million dollars and so much more confident in applying makeup (both for evenings out and every day wear), I'm so impressed that I'll be bringing my adult daughter over for a lesson too - (Amanda Ward - October 2023)
We went to Victoria to get advise on how to up date our makeup and the best way to apply it. Victoria is just lovely and we took our own makeup with us, so there is no trying to sell you anything but purely to advise on how to use what is in your makeup bag. Victoria then showed us how to apply and encouraged us to try as well. It was a great two hours, thank you - (Gillian Taylor - October 2023)
I found Victoria after a Google search for makeup lessons near me. I have recently stopped dying my hair due to age and needed some tips and a fresh daily make-up routine. Victoria is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. My lesson flew by and I've taken home new tips, great ideas and confidence! I am also out of touch with the array of new products available - when going into a store, the choice is never ending and I usually come away confused and having bought nothing. This area Victoria was also able to steer me and give good relevant advice. I feel the cost of the lesson has saved me from making expensive mistakes. Great experience - would highly recommend - (Barbara Christie - Aug 2023)
My make-up session with Victoria was so helpful - and enjoyable too. I came away with ideas of how to make more of my existing products, some really useful, practical tips and ideas for lovely make-up I can do myself. Victoria is very easy to get along with and there was plenty of opportunities to ask questions. She gave me a good guide to colours and products that work well for my skin and complexion. As someone who has just turned 50, it's been a real confidence boost. Highly recommend! - (Jill Mansfield - June 2023)
