Shop With Me

$50

A guided, personalized shopping session designed to take the stress and guesswork out of buying makeup and skincare. We help you pick products to create a routine that works for your skin, your lifestyle, and your budget—without unnecessary products or trend-driven pressure. And give you the confidence to do it again on your own.

What’s Included

  • Pre-shop consultation to understand your skin, goals, and preferences (preferably the makeup lesson is taken in conjunction)

  • In-store guidance while shopping

  • Product recommendations tailored specifically to you

  • Shade matching and formula selection

  • Education on what’s worth investing in vs. what you can skip

  • We can shop drugstore and high end depending on needs

  • 1 hour total shopping time

What It’s Not

  • Not a brand-biased experience

  • Not trend-focused or influencer-driven

  • Not about overbuying or replacing products you already love

Our goal is to help you shop intentionally, confidently, and walk away with products you’ll actually use and love.

  • Our studio is located in Uptown Charlotte. Address and parking information will be given once booked. Makeup lessons are in studio only.

  • Please arrive with clean, moisturized skin and bring your current makeup bag for a full product audit. We also ask that you come prepared with a written list of your current skincare routine and any products you own that are still within their expiration dates. Bringing a pen and paper for notes is highly encouraged. This allows us to tailor the lesson to what you already have while identifying what truly works for your skin. Avoid trying new skincare products or treatments 48–72 hours prior to your lesson to prevent irritation and ensure the best experience.

  • Juan’s favorite makeup stores to shop at in Charlotte are the Sephora in Arboretum and the Ulta in Cotswold.
