Instruction
A makeup lesson is for the person who wants to do it again on a Tuesday. It is one face, one routine, and notes you can follow when no one else is in the room.
People search for makeup classes, makeup lessons, and a makeup consultation when they want instruction rather than a silent appointment. Those words get mixed together. A class can mean a room full of strangers. A lesson at Solenne Atelier is individual. A consultation is the shorter version: a plan for your face, not a full practice session.
Solenne Atelier offers personal makeup lessons for people learning their own routine. Bring the products you already own and the look you want to repeat. Include your city when you request a time.
If what you want is to be made up for a wedding or a party and to leave, that is a service, not a lesson. Book the description under services. A lesson spends the time on your hands, not only on the result.
How to tell if a base matches in daylight, where concealer actually helps, and how much is too much for the way you like to look. This is the usual start, and it overlaps with natural makeup because that finish is the easiest one to repeat.
A simple eye you can do in one mirror, not three products you will abandon. Brow shape with a pencil, not a stencil. Placement for hooded eyes if that is your eye. The goal is a repeatable order.
Which of your products to keep using, which fight each other, and what is missing. A lesson can work from a bag you already own. Buying a new kit is not a requirement and is not something this website sells.
Bring the makeup you actually use, including the item you suspect is the wrong shade. Clean skin is more useful than a face you have already finished. If you want to practice a specific event — a work headshot, a dinner, a wedding you are in but not the bride — say which one. The lesson can aim at that lighting.
Write down the steps before you leave, or ask the instructor to. Memory is a weak system for “the brush you used third.” A phone photo of each stage, in the same window, is better than a single finished portrait.
Lessons are one person by default. If you want a friend taught in the same hour, say so when you request the time. The quote covers the length of the lesson and whether a second person is included. Private lessons are priced by the hour.
Parents booking for a teenager should say so. The form does not collect a date of birth. Instruction for a school event should stay age-appropriate and practical: skin, a simple eye, a lip that survives dinner. It is not a photoshoot and not a place for adult styling copied from a nightclub.
When you are ready, describe what you want to be able to do without help. Include whether you want a single lesson or a short series.
A single lesson is enough when you want a correction: the base that turns gray by noon, the brow that disappears, the eye that looks finished in the magnifying mirror and unfinished across the room. You leave with an order of steps for that problem. You do not leave certified, and you should not expect the whole face to feel automatic the next morning.
A short series makes sense when the goal is a weekday face plus one dressed-up version. The first session usually stays with skin, shade, and a simple eye, which is why natural makeup is the usual foundation. A later session can add the extra shape described on the soft glam page, or the camera adjustments on the photoshoot page if the reason is a headshot. Say which of those you care about. A lesson aimed at a gala and a lesson aimed at a Monday meeting are not the same hour.
Between sessions, use the notes. If step three only works while someone else holds the brush, it was not learned. Bring the failure back: the wing that smudged, the concealer that creased, the shade that was right at the window and wrong in the office. That is more useful than buying a second kit.
The quote is for the length of the lesson and whether a second person is added. Questions about cost explain what changes that number.
Natural makeup is the skill most lessons are built on. Services are the alternative when you want the makeup done for you.
