The Ultimate Canvas: The Power of Skin Prep with The Beauty Society

Master your base with unbiased advice from The Beauty Society. Learn how proper skin prep delivers a flawless, lasting finish.
About this Event

Have you ever wondered why your foundation looks incredible on some days, but less so on others? The secret isn’t just the makeup you wear - it’s how you prepare the skin underneath.

Join John Lewis’ Beauty Society for an eye-opening masterclass dedicated to creating your ultimate complexion. Known for their completely unbiased, brand-agnostic expertise, our Beauty Guides are pulling back the curtain on skin preparation to show you what really works.

During this 60-minute session, you’ll witness a dramatic split-face demonstration: one side prepared with tailored skincare prep, and the other with makeup applied directly to un-prepped skin. Seeing the side-by-side difference live will reveal:

• The Longevity Factor: How the right prep prevents makeup from breaking down or disappearing throughout the day.
• Texture & Finish: Techniques to smooth uneven texture, blur pores, and eliminate dry patches for a seamless application.
• Customised Combinations: How to pair formulas, textures, and primers to suit your unique skin type and lifestyle needs.
• Unbiased Product Hacks: Honest, expert advice on the best prep products across top beauty brands.

Whether you want your daily makeup to last longer or want to achieve a radiant, red-carpet finish for special occasions, you’ll walk away with practical techniques you can easily replicate at home.

Tickets for this event are £25.

All ticket holders will receive a complimentary Beauty Unfiltered: Live goodie bag, filled with a curated lineup of John Lewis beauty favourites worth at least £150.

Whether you're coming by yourself or with a group, we look forward to welcoming you to our event.
