WHY ATTEND

Makeup changes as we do. And so do our lives.

The makeup that worked at 25 or 35 may not be what makes you look your best now.

Our skin changes. Our eyes change. Products sit differently.

But our lives change, too.

Careers. Businesses. Families. Responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, taking a little time for ourselves can gradually slip off the list.

Maybe you stopped wearing makeup altogether. Maybe you’re still doing what you did 15 years ago. Or maybe you simply don’t want to spend much time on it, but you’d still love to know how to look fresh, polished and put together when you want to.

That’s what this evening is about.

Professional makeup artist Susan Donoghue will teach you simple, modern techniques that work beautifully with mature skin and make sense for a busy life.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Makeup that works with mature skin

How to create fresh, natural-looking skin without makeup feeling heavy or settling into lines.

A polished everyday look

A simple routine for busy mornings.

Fresh, awake-looking eyes

How makeup changes as our eyes mature, what flatters them now, and what you really need to know about lashes and false lashes.

What belongs in your makeup bag now

Foundation, concealer, blush, eye makeup, lip color, brushes—what matters, what you can skip and how to choose products that work for you.

The little things that make a big difference

Some things we’ve been doing for years may no longer be doing us any favors. Susan will show you what to reconsider and simple ways to update your approach.

Meet Susan Donoghue

PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP ARTIST

Susan is a professional makeup artist represented for commercial work—and someone I’ve trusted with my portrait clients for over 10 years.

Her specialty is exactly the kind of makeup many women want as they get older: natural, modern and polished.

She understands how to work with mature skin without covering it up, and how to use makeup to bring back freshness, definition and glow while still allowing you to look completely like yourself.

Her philosophy is simple: you shouldn't look like you're wearing great makeup. You should look like you're having a really good day.

Come for what you’ll learn.

Stay for the women you’ll meet.

I’m hosting this evening at my Midtown Manhattan portrait studio because I wanted it to be about something else, too:

Getting women together.

We’re keeping the gathering to just 20 women, so there’s time to ask Susan questions, have a glass of wine, talk, laugh and actually get to know each other.

You’ll meet other interesting, ambitious women in New York who are building careers, businesses, ideas—and lives they’re excited about.

Come with a friend or come on your own. Leave with new connections, new friendships, and a few more wonderful women in your NYC circle.
