When you're new to make-up, mastering a handful of basics matters far more than buying every product on the shelf.

• Skin preparation: never apply make-up on a dirty face if you want a long-lasting finish.
• Brushes and applicators: wash your tools regularly because dirty brushes ruin even the best products.
• Building gradually: apply small amounts of foundation and concealer, then add more only where needed.
• Brows and details: fill in your brows softly because they frame the whole face.

Booking a tutor on Superprof gives you tailored guidance that no YouTube tutorial can match.

The hourly rate for make-up classes in Edinburgh averages £17/h.

The cost depends on:

• Whether you're starting from scratch or refining existing skills
• The artist's expertise and professional background
• The package you choose (one-off masterclass or regular sessions)
• Where the make-up sessions take place

Online lessons are often more affordable while remaining highly effective.

Picking up make-up skills from scratch is achievable for anyone with a structured approach and regular practise.

• Skin and base: learn to match your foundation shade and blend it down the neck for a seamless finish.
• Eye make-up: practise simple neutral eye looks before attempting smokey eyes or bold colours.
• Finishing the look: finish with a lipstick or gloss that complements your overall look.
• Repetition and feedback: repeat each technique on yourself or a friend until the movements feel natural.

An experienced make-up coach demonstrates each step on your own face, which is far more effective than copying a video.
