What is Shy of Makeup?
We noticed that most women felt intimidated by makeup — not because they couldn't do it, but because nobody had ever properly shown them how. Not for their face. Not for their life. Not without making them feel judged.
Most women were never properly taught makeup. They learned from their mum, a friend, or spent hours watching someone else's face on YouTube. None of that was ever about you.
Shy of Makeup is our answer to that. For over 14 years we've been teaching women a simple daily routine that actually fits their life — not someone else's. No pro techniques. No expensive products. No judgement. Just a friendly teacher, your face, and five minutes a day.

Reviews
Birthday gift from husband
"I'd been putting this off for years if I'm honest. I'm in my late 40s and felt a bit silly not knowing how to do my own makeup properly. But from the minute I walked in I felt completely at ease. She didn't make me feel judged at all — just got straight to work on what would suit me. I've done my makeup every single morning since and it takes me about 6 minutes. That might not sound like much but for me it's been a real confidence boost."

Could not be happier
I had a makeup one-on-one workshop with Katie and I could not be happier. She is very knowledgeable and personable, and took the time to tailor our session to my tastes and needs. Highly recommend!

Teenage daughter approves
We worked through everything using my own products which I didn't expect, and I left with a routine I actually understand. My teenage daughter can't believe the difference and that's honestly the best review I can give.

Frequently Asked Questions
No experience needed at all. We've taught complete beginners through to women who've been doing their makeup the same way for 20 years.
If you've ever felt intimidated by a makeup counter, watched a YouTube tutorial and felt completely lost, or you were taught by your great aunt — this lesson was made for you.
Absolutely. Drop us a message and we'll come straight back to you with available dates and times before you commit to anything.
Yes — it makes a brilliant gift. Simply purchase online and let us know at checkout or by email that it's for someone else. We'll then help you arrange a time and date.
We'll build you a simple 3–5 minute daily makeup routine from scratch — covering skin prep, base, eyes, brows, cheeks and lips. Everything is tailored to your face, your skin type and the products you already own.
We understand plans can change. Our cancellation and rescheduling policies vary by course and are designed to be as flexible as possible. Please review the specific terms on the course page or contact us to discuss your situation.
No. We work with what you already have. We've seen over 4,000 makeup bags and we've never met a kit we couldn't work with. If there's something worth adding, we'll tell you honestly and without any sales pressure.
Tutorials are built around the artist, not you. Our lesson is built entirely around your face, your products and your lifestyle. There's no pause button needed and no translating someone else's technique onto your own features.
