makeup Masterclasses & Speaking Events

Makeup masterclasses and beauty talks for women who want real, useful advice

makeup advice masterclasses & speaking events

A lot of makeup advice online is fast, filtered and aimed at much younger skin.

For many women, that can make makeup feel more confusing than it needs to be. Products that look good on someone else may not sit right. Techniques that worked years ago may no longer feel flattering. And beauty counters can feel awkward when you are not sure what to ask for.

Jody’s masterclasses and speaking events are different.

Over 40s Makeup Masterclass

A relaxed live group demonstration designed specifically for women over 40.

Speaker, Retreats & Events

Jody is available as a speaker and expert guest for wellness retreats, women’s networking events, conferences and luxury lifestyle experiences.

Private Group Makeup Sessions

A private group makeup session can be created for small groups who want a more personal experience with Jody.

corporate gift experiences for women

At these events Jody explains things clearly, demonstrates real techniques and talks about makeup in a way that feels honest, friendly and relevant to the women in the room.

These sessions are ideal if you:

  • Want practical makeup advice for women over 40
  • Are planning a women’s event, retreat or networking session
  • Want a speaker who can talk about confidence, beauty and ageing well
  • Would like a relaxed group makeup demonstration
  • Want guests to leave with tips they can actually use
  • Need an expert guest for a wellness or lifestyle event
  • Want beauty advice without pressure to buy products
  • Are looking for something personal, memorable and useful

Why invite Jody to your wellbeing event?

Jody’s sessions are not about telling women they need to change how they look.

They are about helping women understand themselves better, make sense of their makeup and feel more comfortable in their own skin.

She has worked with makeup since 1999 and has specialist experience supporting women over 40.

She also understands the confidence side of showing up, from her years in corporate life and her own move into running Addicted To Face full-time.

That mix of real experience, professional skill and honest guidance helps her connect with audiences in a way that feels natural.

What happens before your event?

Before confirming a speaker booking, private group session or masterclass, Jody will talk through what you are planning.

This may include the type of event, number of guests, age range, venue, timings and what you would like people to take away from the session.

For speaking events, Jody can shape the topic around your audience. For private groups or masterclasses, she can focus the session around the makeup questions and concerns most relevant to the people attending.

What happens on the day?

Jody will arrive prepared with her professional kit, agreed session plan and any materials needed for the event.

The session will be delivered in a friendly and approachable way, with clear explanations and practical advice. Depending on the booking, this may include a live demonstration, product guidance, audience questions or a talk around confidence, beauty and ageing well.

The aim is for guests to feel comfortable, included and able to take something useful away from the experience.

Not sure which option is right for your event?

If you are an individual wanting to attend a future group session, join the Over 40s Makeup Masterclass waitlist.

If you are planning a women’s event, retreat or conference, a speaker booking may be the best fit.

If you want a smaller, more personal experience for a private group, Jody can create a session around your guests.

Still unsure? Send Jody a few details about your event and she will help you choose the right option.
