Online Makeup Consultation
Looking for personalised makeup advice without needing to visit a makeup artist in person? My online makeup consultation gives you 60 minutes of one to one advice from the comfort of your own home.
Together we'll look at your current makeup, what you'd like to improve and the products, colours and simple changes that could make the biggest difference to your everyday routine.

Makeup counters, social media and endless new launches can make choosing makeup feel more complicated than it needs to be.
Your online consultation gives you an hour to ask me all those questions you've been wondering about. I'll help you work out what's worth keeping, what may no longer be working for you, which products would suit you better and how to make your makeup routine easier.
Because I'm an independent makeup artist, my recommendations are completely brand neutral. I'm not there to sell you one particular makeup range. I'm there to recommend what I genuinely think will work for you.
What Can We Cover?
Every consultation is personalised, so we'll concentrate on the areas that would make the biggest difference to you.
Makeup Bag Review
Show me what you already own and I'll help you decide what to keep, what to use differently and what you really don't need.
Product Recommendations
Foundation, concealer, blush, lipstick, mascara, brushes and more, with recommendations chosen for you rather than a particular brand.
Refresh Your Routine
Simple, achievable ways to update your makeup if your old routine doesn't seem to suit you quite as well as it once did.
Colours That Suit You
Advice on flattering tones for your eyes, cheeks and lips and how to create a look that still feels like you.
Easy Makeup Tips
Practical tips and uncomplicated techniques you can start using straight away without completely changing the way you do your makeup.
Your Questions
Bring your makeup dilemmas! The hour is yours, so we can focus on the things you've been struggling with or simply aren't sure about.
Perfect If Your Makeup Needs a Little Reset
You don't need to be good at makeup and you certainly don't need an enormous makeup bag.
- Your usual makeup doesn't seem to work as well as it used to
- You're overwhelmed by the number of products available
- You keep buying makeup that ends up unused
- You'd like an easier everyday routine
- You want advice appropriate for your age, skin and lifestyle
- You'd like a professional opinion without pressure to buy
Makeup Advice as Your Face & Skin Change
I work with women of all ages, and particularly enjoy helping women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who feel that their makeup needs updating.
Maybe a foundation now feels too heavy, your eye makeup doesn't look quite right anymore or you're simply unsure where to start with all the new products available.
We'll concentrate on making you look fresh, polished and like yourself, rather than following trends that don't feel right for you.
How Your Online Consultation Works
There's no complicated online booking calendar to navigate. Once you've booked, I'll take care of the rest personally.
Book Your Consultation
Book and pay securely for your 60 minute consultation.
I'll Email You Personally
After booking, I'll contact you by email so we can arrange a mutually convenient date and time. I'll also send you a short questionnaire and tell you exactly how to prepare.
Meet Me on Google Meet
I'll send you your private Google Meet link before the appointment. Simply click the link at the arranged time. There's no special software to purchase.
Your Personalised Product List
After our consultation, I'll send you a personalised follow up with the products I've recommended for you, including convenient shopping links wherever possible.
That means you can enjoy the consultation without frantically trying to write everything down, and you won't be left wondering which shade, brush or product we discussed afterwards.
Which Is Right for You?
My online consultation is ideal for personalised product advice, reviewing your existing makeup, refreshing your routine and learning achievable tips that you can put into practice at home.
Because we're meeting through a screen, it isn't designed for very detailed correction of precise application techniques.
If you'd particularly like hands on tuition with areas such as eyeliner, detailed eye placement or perfecting your application step by step, I'd recommend one of my in person makeup lessons in Harrogate instead.
Not sure which would suit you best? I'm always happy to advise before you book.
A Recent Online Client Review
“Worth every penny spent on the online make up lesson with Mel. It was very informative and personalised to my skin and also own preferences, which is great. Definitely highly recommend.”
Hi, I'm Mel
I'm a professional makeup artist based in Harrogate with over 15 years' experience working with women of all ages.
I've trained with respected names including Jemma Kidd and Colour Me Beautiful and my work has been featured in publications including The Telegraph, Yorkshire Post and Brides Up North.
My approach is friendly, supportive and completely non intimidating. Makeup should help you feel more confident, not make you feel as though you need another 25 products or an entirely new face.
Online Makeup Consultation FAQs
A few useful things to know before booking your personalised online makeup consultation.
Is an online makeup consultation the same as an online makeup lesson?
Not quite. My online makeup consultation is designed primarily around personalised makeup advice, reviewing your existing products, recommending products and colours that suit you and giving you practical tips to improve your routine.
Because we're meeting through a screen, it isn't intended for very detailed correction of precise techniques such as eyeliner placement. If you'd like more hands on, step by step application tuition, my in person makeup lessons in Harrogate are the better option.
Can you recommend makeup for mature skin?
Yes. Many of my clients are women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond who feel that products or techniques they used to love no longer seem to work quite as well.
Your recommendations will be personalised to your skin, features, colouring, lifestyle and the type of makeup you feel comfortable wearing.
Do I need to buy new makeup before my consultation?
No. Please use and show me the makeup you already own. Part of the consultation is helping you work out what is worth keeping, what could be used differently and where a new product may genuinely make a difference.
Afterwards, I'll send you a personalised list of recommended products with shopping links wherever possible.
How does the online makeup consultation take place?
Your consultation takes place privately through Google Meet. After you've booked, I'll personally email you to arrange a mutually convenient date and time and send you everything you need to prepare.
Before the appointment, I'll send you your private Google Meet link. You simply click the link when it's time for your consultation.
Can I book an online consultation if I don't live near Harrogate?
Absolutely. Because the consultation is online, you can book from anywhere in the UK and there's no need to travel to my Harrogate studio.
