What to Expect in Session
During your private one-on-one session with Celeste Alegre we begin by reviewing your current makeup bag and daily routine. We assess what you already own, note product performance, and discuss lifestyle factors like commuting or event needs. This focused intake lets the lesson prioritize what will be most useful in a 60 MINUTES session.
Instruction combines demonstration and guided practice: Celeste shows techniques on your face or a model, then watches you repeat them so she can correct hand placement and product amount. Every step she teaches is recorded on a custom face chart that maps placement, shades, and the sequence you can follow at home.
How Technique Is Tailored
The face chart is the central tailoring tool: it captures the exact placement and shade choices discussed during the lesson and translates them into a repeatable sequence. In Shrewsbury's four-season climate we also discuss product finishes and formulas that hold up to summer humidity or winter layering without naming specific brands.
Because the appointment lasts 60 MINUTES the session focuses on practical, high-impact changes rather than exhaustive curriculum. That constraint means we select techniques you can master quickly, prioritize multi-use products already in your bag, and create a compact routine you can use for commuting days or short pre-event touchups.
How to Prepare for Lesson
Bring your full makeup bag and any tools you normally use; the review depends on seeing the exact products and shades you reach for. Tell Celeste about skin sensitivities or recent changes in skin tone so she can adapt application guidance and pick alternate techniques rather than recommending unknown products.
Our Broad Street location in downtown Shrewsbury is convenient for clients traveling from Red Bank via NJ Transit or driving Route 35; we recommend scheduling around evenings or weekends if your family or commute constraints make daytime appointments difficult. Expect a private, focused tutorial suited to pre- and post-event needs near Count Basie or Monmouth Park.
