Thursday Afternoon - The Makeup Reset with Maddy Johnson

This gentle, confidence-boosting workshop is created especially for women 40+ who are ready to reconnect with how they see themselves in the mirror.

As our skin, features and energy evolve through perimenopause and menopause, it’s natural for old make-up routines to no longer feel quite right. What once worked can suddenly feel heavy, ageing, or simply not you anymore.

This is your invitation to reset.

In this relaxed and supportive space, you’ll be guided to refresh your make-up routine in a way that feels effortless, and aligned with who you are now. You’re warmly invited to bring your make-up bag along as we explore your current products together - what works, what can be used differently, and where a few simple updates could make all the difference.

Together, we’ll focus on the eye and brow area, using soft, easy techniques to gently lift and open the eye area.

I will demonstrate modern, wearable approaches that are simple to recreate at home. You’ll have time to practise, ask questions, and receive personalised guidance so you leave feeling confident and empowered - not overwhelmed.

This is a no-pressure, judgement-free space. No perfection needed.

Each workshop in the series will explore a different area of make-up, from radiant, glowing skin to contour, blush and effortless day-to-night transitions - allowing you to build your skills gently over time.

A relaxed and friendly afternoon to learn something new, refresh your routine, and leave feeling with a little added confidence.
