Somerset Wes - Make-Up Workshop

The Signature Makeup Workshop

A refined introduction to modern, wearable makeup.

This luxury, hands-on makeup workshop is an immersive makeup experience designed for women who want to elevate the way they do their own makeup — with intention, confidence, and technique. This workshop is not about just following new trends but finding an easy routine for you.

Hosted in a curated, intimate and not overbooked setting, this workshop blends education with elegance. Each guest is guided through professional makeup techniques while applying the makeup on themselves, ensuring the skills learned are both personal and practical.

The experience

This is not just a demonstration.

This is a guided, interactive session where you are encouraged to explore, practise, and refine your technique in real time.

Guests are welcome to bring their own makeup and brushes, allowing them to learn how to optimise the products they already own. A selection of my professional products will also be available during the workshop for use and demonstration should you not have specific items in your personal kit.

The class is intentionally intimate, allowing for individual attention, personalised guidance, and thoughtful corrections throughout.

Technique & focus

The workshop is suitable for all ages and is especially curated for mature skin, with an emphasis on enhancing natural features rather than masking them.

Key focus areas include:

• Skin preparation for a luminous, long-wearing makeup

• Foundation selection and application for different skin needs

• Soft, sculpted contouring for definition without heaviness

• Blush and highlight placement that lifts and balances the face

• A refined smokey eye, adapted for daytime wear and effortlessly elevated for the evening

• Eye and brow techniques that enhance structure and symmetry

• Professional finishing tips that create a polished, editorial-level result

Throughout the session, guests receive insight and techniques drawn from years of industry experience — the small details that make the difference between makeup that looks applied and makeup that looks intentional.

The educator

Presented professional makeup artist - Annike with over 11 years of experience in makeup artistry and makeupeducation, this workshop is rooted in timeless technique, real-world application, and a deep understanding of diverse skin needs.
