Makeup Consultations and Lessons

Why Makeup Matters

Sometimes all it takes is one good lesson to change the way you see your makeup bag forever.

As a Dallas-based makeup artist with over 20 years of professional experience, I offer one-on-one makeup consultations and lessons tailored specifically to you — your features, your skin type, your lifestyle, and the products you already own. No generic advice, no pressure to buy anything new. Just practical, personalized instruction that makes a real difference.

Makeup Lessons & Consultations

A typical session lasts one to two hours and covers everything from application techniques and color selection to skincare basics and product recommendations.

Before we begin I ask a series of questions to understand exactly what you need — whether that’s learning to even out your skin tone, mastering a simple everyday routine, or understanding which products actually work for your skin type.

What to bring: Your own makeup and brushes. Working with what you already have is the best way to learn how to use it better, saving you time and money in the long run. I’ll also give you a list of any recommended additions, and feel free to video the session on your phone — most clients do.

A brief skincare consultation is included with every lesson. I believe makeup only looks as good as the skin it’s applied to, and I favor a natural approach where less product achieves a more flawless result.

Group sessions are available for 4 to 8 people, a great option for a girls’ night, bridal party prep, or corporate team event in the Dallas area.

Makeovers

A makeover is ideal for anyone looking to refresh their image and show up with more confidence — whether you’re a broadcast journalist, an executive, a job seeker, a college grad entering the workforce, or simply someone who wants to look and feel their best.

A full makeover typically includes a makeup lesson, a haircut with styling instruction, and a hair color consultation. I like to call it a make under because the goal is never a radical transformation, it’s finding the most polished, confident version of you. Sometimes the most subtle change such as correcting an uneven skin tone, or learning to use blush properly makes the biggest impact.

“Penny tailors her lessons to the individual in every way.

After a session with Penny, it took a mere day or two of simple changes to my daily routine to feel and see a major difference.”

“I’d recommend Penny to anyone, everyone. I guarantee you will look at your makeup bag in a completely new way.”

“I was realizing the other day how often I think of people who are connected to objects I handle daily. With you, it’s my foundation brush — because I never would have gotten one if you hadn’t told me to. There must be countless people who think of you kindly every day as they’re putting on their makeup. It’s a nice kind of work to do.” — Robin Underdahl, Author
