Transgender Makeup Lessons, Makeovers & Beauty Treatments

Jackie Fussell • Nov 06, 2023

I provide a gender-neutral salon, open to all genders and ethnicity's.  There is no discrimination based on gender, so prices for services are the same for everyone and there is no separate price list for different genders.


The salon is inclusive and embraces diversity and individual uniqueness.  Beauty Treatments and Makeup Services are open to everyone, including Wedding Makeup & Special Occasion Makeup. 


I am pleased to also offer Makeup Lessons for the Transgender, Gender Diverse and Cross-Dressing Community, which are also available in a private and comfortable environment which will help you feel relaxed and at ease while you learn.  My Salon is located in Lyde Green, Bristol, South Gloucestershire.  It is completely private, located in the first floor of my residential house on a private new build housing estate.  You can park directly opposite my house, and ring the bell - where are will show you to my salon on the first floor, complete with its own ensure bathroom!

Mastering makeup application is difficult enough, let alone if you have never applied makeup before.  Applied correctly it can make an incredible difference to your overall appearance and confidence. A poor application technique, choosing the wrong colours and shades for your skin tone and applying makeup too heavily are among the most common mistakes. Getting it wrong can be really harsh and unflattering on your complexion and will have the opposite effect, drawing attention in a negative way.


The cosmetics industry can be overwhelming with such a vast variety of products and brands, all which use clearer marketing words and descriptions to encourage you to buy as many products as possible, while often doing the same thing!  Which makes it very easy to get carried away and make expensive mistakes.


If you do have any skin care and makeup products, please do bring them with you, if not please do not buy anything before your lesson - as I am more than happy for you to come along to a lesson and experiment with my products to help you practice and decide what you want to purchase, and help you become more confident and knowledgeable ready for your shopping trip as it’s important that you invest in products that are right for you, and that you know and will enjoy using.

I am not affiliated to any makeup brands, I will remain completely independent and hopefully give you a better understanding to help you choose the best products from across a wide range of companies.

The lesson includes:


Skin Preparation:

  • How to remove your make-up properly
  • How and which skincare products to use
  • How to exfoliate and why


Makeup Application:

  • How to do your base; primer, foundation, concealer and colour correcting any blemishes and camouflage hair growth
  • How to define your eyebrows
  • How to apply eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara
  • How to apply powder, contour, blush and highlight
  • How to do lips


'I was welcomed into Jackie´s beautiful salon and immediately made to feel comfortable and safe.'  'The makeup lesson was great fun, covering all aspects, tailored to my requirements.  Makeup remains hard, but now I have a good understanding of how to get the basics right and build from there. I am much better armed to practice and improve, along with a multitude of practical tips to correct my errors.' Flora March 2024

The above is a good starting overview of makeup techniques, for you to be able to practice and master. I allow 2 hours for the makeup lesson, however, you are welcome to tailor this to cover areas of makeup application you wish to focus on - If you would like to learn to apply eyelashes, vintage eyeliner flicks, or a really strong smokey eye - just let me know!


I am LGBTQ+ friendly and really enjoy helping people learn to apply makeup to look as beautiful and feminine on the outside as you feel on the inside.  Regardless of your skill level, master the art of beautiful flawless makeup, whether it’s natural or glamorous. Learn about the best products to use and the right brushes for applying makeup, as well as professional makeup techniques to help gain confidence and self-esteem.

I look forward to seeing you for a lesson soon,

Jackie


Jax-Glam Beauty

I found Jax Glam through searching for LGBTQ+ friendly make up services and as a member felt very welcome. Jackie was so friendly, helpful and very understanding which made me really relaxed. Arriving without make up made me nervous but that soon changed as we chatted and started the lesson. When we had finished I was overcome with emotions after seeing myself in the mirror looking like the woman I’ve always wanted to be. Jackie is a true professional and I would highly recommend anyone who wishes to learn more or use her services.' Maddie, May 2023.
