CT Makeup Lessons For Mature Women

Discover Simple Flawless Makeup Techniques For Mature Skin With Professional CT Makeup Artist Jennifer Ballard

As I have gotten older the makeup routine I have done for years has not provided the results I have wanted. In the past, I have had had my makeup done professionally, but have never been truly satisfied with the results. It was time to give it another shot! I found CT makeup artist, Jennifer Ballard and immediately contacted her. Right from the beginning, her responses were prompt and very friendly. We discussed all my concerns and set up an appointment. I completed a comprehensive questionnaire further detailing everything I wanted to discuss during the appointment. When I arrived, I was immediately met with a smile and she instantly put me at ease. It’s never fun discussing all the different “faults” we find with ourselves as we are always trying to hide them, but Jennifer always made me feel comfortable and was extremely knowledgeable when personalizing my skincare needs. She listened to my concerns and patiently explained my many questions along with showing me the techniques and products used to achieved my desired look.
I was extremely satisfied when I left my appointment and could not wait to show off my face! Afterwards, Jennifer sent me a link to all the products she had used so I didn’t have to search for everything I wanted. I’m excited to order the products to achieve that look she had given me. If you are looking for a CT makeup artist who provides makeup lessons or bridal makeup, Jennifer Ballard is your girl!”

Discover how to apply makeup like a pro, even if it’s just for everyday wear.

Jenn was totally amazing! I learned so much from her. I got a lesson with her as a gift and I am so glad I did. For a while now I have wanted to know how to apply my eyeshadow better and just get an overall better idea of how to apply all my makeup and YouTube videos weren’t cutting it. She gave me lots of great tips and names of products that I should use that are customized for me. She took her time and was very patient while I learned how to apply my makeup and it came out amazing! I highly recommend going to Jenn for lessons or a special event.

In my CT makeup lessons for mature skin, you’ll learn how to apply makeup for your face shape and texture, coloring and the best part is that it’s all customized to you.

“Jennifer taught me how to apply my make up for my son’s destination wedding. She was so patient and filmed it for me to watch and practice before the big day. She also taught me so much about how to apply make up. After all these years I finally learned how to do my make up!! I really wished I did this years ago. Now I actually love to wear make up.”

What will I learn in my private makeup lesson?

  • Full face Skin Prep: how to layer skincare products based on your skin tone and texture

  • Full face makeup application: I’ll show you how to apply it on one side, and you’ll do the other with me every step of the way. Includes: primer, Concealer, Foundation, Blush Placement, highlighter and contour, brows, eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara, Lip liner, Lipstick and gloss, Powder and Setting spray (sounds like a lot but it’s incredibly natural if you want it to be)

  • The right shades for a natural, yet sophisticated look

  • The best makeup and beauty brands for your specific needs and wants (they’re not all high-end, by the way)

  • Makeup bag cleanout: I’ll show you which makeup products to keep and which to toss so you can actually save money and stop buying things that don’t really work for you

  • Customized makeup shopping list: I'll send you a list of items so that all you have to do is click to buy and welcome your shiny new items on your doorstep

  • EXCLUSIVE ONE TIME BONUS: Makeup brush cleaning

Now that you know what, how, and when to use your makeup, you need to know how to clean your tools. In this Makeup brush cleaning portion, you’ll discover exactly how to properly clean, sanitize and dry your makeup brushes for maximum longevity, so you don’t keep having to constantly buy new ones

Do you offer makeup classes for groups?

You bet. I prefer to keep these relatively small (3 max) to ensure everyone gets their questions answered and my eyes on their face:) Inquire below for pricing.

Can makeup be self-taught?

Absolutely. There’s a ton of resources online to learn how to apply makeup. On the other hand, it can be very confusing. There’s SO much information out there. There are so many brands, shades and application techniques…it’s hard to know which one is right for you. That’s where I come in.

  • Everything you learn is customized to you and your skin type and tone, natural coloring, etc.

  • I’ve spent the money ( A LOT) and time (over 16 years) learning the best so you don’t have to. You’ll walk away feeling confident in your choices knowing that you’re using the right products specifically for you and applying it in a way that is best for your unique needs and wants.

How is this different than going to a local store for a complimentary makeup consultation?

Stores like Sephora, Blue Mercury, Nordstrom, and Ulta can be a good starting point if you’re completely new to makeup (and beauty in general), but remember that these store associates are paid a commission to sell you their products. When you come to me, you’re getting:

  • Unbiased information: I don’t believe one makeup brand is the best for everything, and my job isn’t to sell you anything.

  • 16 years of experience: Store associates also often have minimal training and real-world experience and may not be able to really understand how to address your unique needs.

  • step-by-step instruction: exactly what to do, which products and shades to choose with your best interest only in mind.

  • Experience: You not only learn, but also have a calm, relaxing, and fun experience that you can bring home with you to repeat on your own.


How is this different than scheduling a makeup appointment at a salon or choosing a hair and makeup team?

Salons are amazing! … For hair. Most of the time, their makeup artists are actually just hair stylists who also kinda like makeup on the side, and it’s an additional source of income. They’re usually not trained and experienced as a specialist who solely focuses on makeup application and lessons. They are HAIR specialists, not makeup specialists. A professional makeup artist who focuses only on makeup will provide the best Makeup and Skincare experience and be the most knowledgeable. The same way a cardiologist is the best doctor to see for a heart condition (not a Generalist, general practitioner or Internal Medicine Doctor),

Will you travel to my home for a makeup lesson?

Lessons are held in Milford unless you meet the minimum $950 in total with 3 people

What should I bring to my makeup lesson?

A smile, a notepad, your makeup bag and a clean face
