In-Person Makeup Classes for Women in Ridgeway, Ontario.
Welcome. If you’re a woman who’s noticed your reflection changing, your confidence dropping, or the beauty industry moving on without you, you’re not invisible here.
I’m Dana Joon, founder of Ridgeway’s Beauty Bar, former celebrity makeup artist and head groomer for major networks, and I teach women how to look and feel their most confident, natural, and beautiful selves, all in a comfortable, encouraging, hands-on setting.

MAKEUP CLASS
As we age our skin, eyes, and face change. Hormones, texture shifts, and thinner skin mean the makeup rules that worked in our 30s don’t always flatter us now. Add to that the cultural noise that sidelines older women and it’s easy to feel frustrated, overlooked, or unsure where to start.
I’ve worked with brides, celebrities, and everyday women for decades, and I’ve seen the same story: women who used to light up a room start dimming their own light because they don’t know how to update their technique, choose the right products, or prep their skin to look like the best version of themselves.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You want makeup that enhances your natural features without feeling heavy or “masked.”
You’re curious about products that work with mature skin (not against it).
You want simple, repeatable steps that make mornings faster and boost confidence.
You’d love a supportive environment where learning is hands-on and non-judgmental.
You want to bring a friend and make beauty a shared, empowering experience.
WHAT you'll learn:
hands-on, practical, simple
In a relaxed, one-on-one or small group session at my Beauty Bar, Downtown Ridgeway, ON, I’ll teach you:
-
Prep & skincare basics tailored to mature skin: how to create a smooth, hydrated base that keeps makeup looking fresh all day.
-
Foundation & coverage that breathes: choosing formulas, shades, and application methods that minimize texture and enhance glow.
-
Colour matching for foundation, and flattering palettes for eyes, lips and cheeks
-
Product placement to lift, brighten, and define without harsh lines.
-
Eye technique for hooded or drooping lids: crease work, liner placement, and lash emphasis that open the eye.
-
Brow shaping and filling that frame your face naturally.
-
Quick daytime looks and a polished evening option using the same core products.
-
Product recommendations for different budgets
-
Tips to update your look for photos, events, and everyday confidence.
PRICING & BOOKING
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
I'm not here to sell you trends.
I’ve spent decades behind the scenes with celebrities, brides, and everyday women. I’ve done bridal parties, on-camera grooming for networks like Global and Warner, and hundreds of private lessons.
I’m not here to sell you trends. I’m here to share proven techniques that respect mature skin and celebrate your unique beauty. My approach is warm, straightforward, and joyful. I understand how frustrating it is to try product after product and feel like nothing works. I’ll show you what truly makes a difference and why.
YouTube and reels are great for quick tips, but nothing replaces hands-on guidance.
I can see your features, test colours on your skin, adjust techniques in real time, and answer your questions on the spot. In-person learning accelerates confidence: one lesson can transform how you do makeup every morning for years to come.
At your appointment
you’ll receive:
a warm welcome at Dana Joon Beauty Bar in Ridgeway, Ontario (street parking available), followed by a short skin assessment and product check so make sure to bring what you currently use. Then hands-on instruction with step-by-step demonstration and practice, a personalized product list, colour-matching, optional before-and-after photos so you can see the transformation, and time for questions and practical tips to maintain the look at home.
Common concerns I address...
“My skin is dry and crepey.” — We focus on hydration, proper skin preparation, and gentle coverage so you don't lose your natural glow.
“I can’t do eyeliner anymore.” — I teach liners and shadows that open the eye without anything too trickey or impossible.
“I don’t want to look ‘made up,’ just better.” — My goal is natural enhancement. Subtle lifts and colour choices that feel like you, just more confident.
bring a friend
Makeup is more fun with a friend. You’ll save money when two people book together, learn side-by-side, and leave feeling renewed. Many clients say the shared experience is what made them stick to new routines. Consider it a beauty date that boosts friendship and self-esteem.
Safety, comfort, & accessibility
Ridgeway Beauty Bar is a welcoming, clean space. I follow best hygiene and sanitation practices for tools and products. If you have sensitivities or allergies, tell me ahead of time and I’ll tailor recommendations and products accordingly.
