How many women really know how to apply make-up properly? GLORIA GRIFFITHS tries out four of the best make-up schools to get some top tips from the experts

Beginner's Paradise

Absolutely Beautiful

This company will send a make-up artist to your home anywhere in the country. Impressively, I get a visit on a Sunday morning from Lola who has the biggest make-up kit I've ever seen. We discuss what I usually do to my face then she delves into my beauty bag.

She suggests how I should use what I have to best effect. For foundation, she tells me to always use a sponge and shows me how. I do the other side of my face and can see that it does give a more even, polished finish. We continue with eyes, lips and blusher, using my products; Lola doing one side of my face, me the other.

Then she suggests colours and products I've never used before, mostly because I don't know what colours suit me and have never known how to apply things like eyeshadow without looking like I've been in a fight. It's all good basic beauty know-how that no one ever seems to tell you, like where exactly you should put blusher.

Ideal for anyone nervous around make-up; well worth the money.

FROM CUSTOMERS:

Cristina and her assistant Lisa did a fantastic job on the day. Cristina was fab and made me look beautiful :) My bridesmaids loved thier hair do's and my mum also got lots of compliments too! I would definatley recommend Cristina and Absolutely Beautiful to my friends and family.

'Christina did a marvelous and wonderful job on the make up...everyone who saw it commented on it and love it! :) - Rozana

(about Lola) 'You did such a good job last year I was wondering if you can do my make up again this year' - Kathy

Hi Lola,

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my lesson with Aida. She was thorough, answered all of my questions, and was extremely personable to boot!

After Aida and I met on Saturday, I went out that night and got compliments on how great I looked from my boyfriend and two friends I hadn't seen in awhile. And this morning, when I did my very first "10 Minute Fix" getting dressed for work, I could see a difference. Aida taught me tricks to bring out my eyes, give me cheekbones, etc. and although I don't look as sensational as when she did me (have got a lot to learn!) I still look noticeably better - especially the eyes. I'm now inspired to practice, practice, as Aida preached. Our session was so worth it! I will definitely be telling my friends what an outstanding service you provide.

Thanks! Taro was excellent today (..) - Richard

Hi Lola,

It went really well, both my mum and I were so pleased with how nice we looked.

We definitely want Aida for my wedding day. I will speak to my bridesmaids and see if they would also like their make up done.

I will confirm asap, but definitely my mum and I want Aida to do ours.

Many thanks

Mandy

Hi Lola,

Can you please pass on my thanks to Ema who did my hair and make-up for my wedding day last Saturday. I felt like a million dollars and had so many compliments - mostly saying how well I scrub up!

I'm so glad that I decided to have a professional, not only did it ensure that I had a look that lasted all day but it meant that I didn't have to stress over attempting to make myself look half decent myself. I would definitely recommend Absolutely Beautiful to my friends.

On a separate note, Pete and I had a perfect day and couldn't have asked for anything better. We are now looking forward to our honeymoon in St Lucia!

Kind regards

Kerry

Hi Lola,

The trial was a wonderful experience and Aida is a lovely person - we hit it off straight away. My make up was so gorgeous I did not want to take it off when I went to bed. Sean thought my eyes looked stunning.

Please definitely confirm Aida for my wedding day.

Many thanks,

Sonia

Hi Lola,

I just wanted to drop you a mail to say how thrilled I was with the lovely hair-up and stunning makeup you did for me for my Christmas Party at London Zoo on December 3rd.

I received many compliments on both my hair and makeup especially the 'smoky eyes'. I stood at the bar talking to a guy I had been in a meeting with two days before, and guess what, he didn't recognise me!

I did dance after all, and my hair stayed in place all night!

I still haven't gotten my pictures developed yet, but if there are any good ones I'll send a few on to you.

Once again, many thanks for the very professional service.

Best Wishes,
Emma

Hi lola,

Hi Lola,

Thanks for arranging this at such short notice. I would like to leave some positive feedback please for Aida.

I would just like to say that the service Aida provided was exceptional. She was friendly and extremely personable which immediately put me at ease. She has real knowledge of make up, colours, light and shading and listens to what you want you want to achieve. I was left feeling confident in all aspects of make up application. I would highly recommend.

Thank you for your time
