A new year is the perfect opportunity to refine personal style, build confidence, and invest in skills that offer long-term value. I provide professional makeup lessons in Dublin designed to empower individuals with practical techniques, expert insight, and personalised guidance. Through one-to-one makeup lessons, group makeup lessons, in-person and online tuition, as well as a comprehensive range of downloadable makeup guides, tutorials, tips, and tricks, I deliver structured, results-driven makeup education rooted in modern artistry and precision.

My approach is personal, focused, and practical. I work with beginners looking to master the fundamentals and with more experienced clients who want to refine technique and product knowledge. Every lesson is built around real-world application, using professional products and methods that translate effortlessly into everyday routines.

As a professional makeup artist in Dublin, I understand that the Christmas party season brings its own challenges for the makeup guru. Going from Icy cold weather outdoors to overheated venues, busy nights out, and countless photos taken under harsh lighting, it can be difficult to keep your face looking fresh. Ensuring your makeup remains flawless from morning to night requires more than great products; it demands expert technique. I have previously delivered makeup artistry that lasts through TV work, celebrity shoots, bridal parties, and private clientele, and I know precisely how to keep your look photo-ready at all times.

Below, I’m sharing my top 10 expert-approved makeup tips to ensure your festive glam stays immaculate: no smudging, no fading, no melting; just effortlessly flawless beauty all Christmas long.

For a christmas present idea, you can also give someone a gift of a downloadable makeup guide, written by myself, or book a makeup course in Dublin.
