Private Makeup Lessons in Los Angeles & Tarzana

A private lesson is built entirely around you. Mahsa starts by assessing what you already know, then customizes each session. She demonstrates her techniques step by step, recommends products, and has you practice the look yourself from start to finish.

Bring your makeup kit. Mahsa shows you how to get the most out of what you own and points out any essentials you are missing, so you are not buying things you do not need.

• Beginner makeup: skin prep, foundation and concealer, brows, and a simple everyday look
• Advanced techniques: sculpting, cut creases, liner, lashes, and turning a day look into evening glam
• Mature skin: texture-friendly complexion work, lifting placement, and lip definition
• Teen makeup: light, age-appropriate routines and good skin habits
• Bridal makeup: long-wear, photo-ready bridal looks, for brides or aspiring bridal artists
• Techniques for working makeup artists: client consultation, working on different skin types and undertones, speed, and hygiene

You do not need any experience. Many clients book because they never learned, feel stuck in the same routine, or have a drawer of products they do not know how to use. The Beginner package gives you five hours over two days: enough to learn, practice at home, and come back with questions.

Mahsa's career spans bridal, red carpet, editorial, and special effects makeup, and she regularly does bridal makeup for Persian, Jewish, Armenian, and multicultural weddings. The Advanced and Professional MUA Advanced Training packages share that experience with artists who want stronger bridal technique, better results on different skin types, and a smoother client process.

Tell Mahsa where you are in your career in the lesson questionnaire, and she will recommend the package that fits.

Gather your friends for a hands-on makeup class. Everyone brings their own kit, learns about their products, asks questions, and picks up techniques for everyday and evening looks.
