What Our Clients Say
Many of our clients arrive feeling nervous or unsure about makeup. Here are a few words from people who have already taken the step.
I spent the whole day with Paul, this was my first ever makeover and photo shoot as a crossdresser. Paul put me at ease. It all felt right and it was like friends just doing makeup but in a very professional way.
I learnt a lot during the lesson and will be able to start to practice the techniques Paul has taught me. Fantastic experience, and if you’re thinking of having a makeover as a trans person I would highly recommend Paul and Born.
You have got to do this! Just done my online makeup lesson with Paul at Born and I have learnt more in an hour and a half than in years! Paul is super patient, even with me! You won’t be disappointed and well worth the money. Paul is so knowledgeable and at hand to answer any questions
The beauty of it was I could see it in real time as the eye makeup progressed. I’m certainly going to book another lesson very soon!! I immediately felt comfortable with Paul, which is unusual for me as I don’t normally like showing myself on camera owing to personal self-confidence issues. Thank you so much Paul! xx
I have just had an online makeup lesson with Paul trying to improve my eye makeup and bigger lips etc. Excellent results. He is very skilled and very patient and never hurried. I would highly recommend him at whatever level you are at! Excellent lesson and very pleased with the results.
