Been thinking about a one to one make up lesson for a while now, any recommendations please?

I feel as if I've been wearing the same make up, day in and day out, for ever now. Well, actually, I have been wearing the same make up day in and day out, no 'feel' about it. My excuse is that I have fairly dark colouring, and so very few colours suit me, other than the ones I use religiously.

However, its got to the stage now where I feel like some sort of ageing hippy, and I feel like one of those batty old women school girls laugh at. I need updating. I need new ideas. I need inspiring. I need a complete overhaul.

I'd like a proper makeup lesson from someone who really knows their stuff. I'm a bit reluctant to use department store beauty counters because I feel that they must have an agenda to sell their own products? I live in the south east so can get into London fairly easily, or actually, I'm willing to travel (yes it's that bad!).

Does anyone have any ideas/recommendations please?

Hi, I'm new here so bear with!! I want to treat my daughter and I to a make-up lesson for our milestone birthdays that are coming up. Any suggestions for London and the South East please?

This is something I've been thinking about too as I am hopeless at makeup. I was considering a Mac session but would welcome recommendations for an independent based in Manchester or the North West

Another recommendation for Bobbi Brown (I went to the Covent Garden store) - they're really good and although of course they only use their own products, it's free, so you could do it as an add-on to lessons you pay for. BB are ideal if you want a "me but better" look.

Alyson Walsh, who blogs as That's Not My Age, uses a make up artist in South London who does lessons and makeovers in her home. If you look under the Beauty heading, it comes up.
