ENROLL NOW!
- Are you new to makeup and want to learn the basics?
- Have you worn some makeup occasionally, but now want to create a more refined, polished look?
- Have you watched makeup videos (including mine!), but still find makeup complicated?
- Do you have many makeup products tucked away in a drawer but still aren't sure how to use them?
- Are you stuck in a makeup routine that no longer works for you?
- Do you just want to look like the very best version of you?
If you nodded in agreement to any of these questions, then I have great news for you! With the right makeup products, applied the right way and in the right place . . .
YOU CAN GO FROM GOOD TO GORGEOUS AND THIS COURSE WILL GET YOU THERE!!
(Even if things are starting to droop, grey and change and you feel like you’re fading into the background.)
Do you ever wake up and feel like you’re still 20 something and then look in the mirror and think: “What the blink happened?” If so, you’re not alone! There’s no question that the makeup products and techniques that worked for us a few decades ago aren’t working now and that’s exactly how Carlene felt. She tried to keep up with trends she saw on TV or in magazines but didn’t realize that everything she saw—the types of makeup products, the techniques to apply the makeup products, and the best makeup tools to use--didn’t apply to her needs now as a fifty+ year old woman. She began to realize how important it was to rethink what makeup she used and how she used it but had no idea where to turn to find the information she needed that would help her look her best now.
Perhaps you can identify with Jennifer who has been doing her makeup the same way since college even though she knows her 50+ year old face has gone through a boatload of changes and the makeup that worked so beautifully for her then is definitely not doing the job now. Or perhaps like Rachel you’re noticing more grey and white brow hairs and your brow “tail” is starting to pull a disappearing act. Or maybe like Betty you’ve never worn much makeup, but know you need to do something, but have no idea what to do or how to do it. Or perhaps like Marsha you’ve looked in the mirror, seen age spots, hooded eyes and dark circles, felt totally discouraged and have simply thrown in the towel.
But the tricky part is: where do we go to find help? Because let’s be honest, there simply aren’t many options out there for us. Even cosmetic company websites that often feature many video tutorials rarely feature women over 30. And who do we see on those television commercials for anti-aging products? Usually a woman in her 20s or 30s without a wrinkle in sight, right?
But the great news is that there is help.
When you enroll in the "Good to Gorgeous" course, today can be the beginning of a new you. You have the power to unlock part of yourself that’s been missing for years.
Like the women mentioned above, you didn’t have a roadmap before and didn’t know how to get to the finish line and that’s exactly why I created this course with you in mind.
So forgive yourself for not reaching that finish line. With this course I’m giving you that roadmap because as an over 50 working, professional makeup artist who specializes in helping women over 50 look and feel like the best version of themselves, I’m passionate about providing the information, tools and resources you need to look and feel revitalized, more polished and more confident—like the very best version of you. Over the past ten years I’ve helped thousands of women over fifty through in-person classes and consultations, in-person and Zoom presentations, monthly articles for online sites and my YouTube Channel "Boomer and Beyond Beauty with Elise."
So whether you’re struggling with under eye circles, hooded crepey eyelids, sparse eyebrows or a combination of the above, you’ve definitely come to the right place.
But just don’t take my word for it. Check out what other women have shared about their experience with this course and my teaching in the "Testimonial" section below.
WHAT THIS COURSE WILL GIVE YOU
No matter where you are in your makeup journey, the makeup tips, tools, techniques and products mentioned and demonstrated in this course will give you the key you need to unlock a new chapter in your life.

Beauty has nothing to do with age. This is a new day and you can turn the page to a new beauty chapter for yourself. So be brave and take the first step. You’re older and wiser so instead of wishing to be who you were, you can embrace the adventure of who you can become.
Here are just some of the things this course provides that will make all the difference on your journey:
You will have access to easy-to-follow text and video modules that will provide game-changing tips and techniques in every makeup category—from skincare to eyebrows, blush and finishing powder (and everything in between).
You will learn important recent research that reveals which four makeup techniques will help you look your very best.

It’s empowering to pass a mirror and think: “Wow, I look great.” It gives you a wonderful lift because how we look and our self-esteem are inextricably wired. You need to invest time, money and interest in you because if you don’t look good, you don’t feel good about yourself. And if you have any doubts about the “look good feel better” connection, volunteer at a women’s organization such as Dress for Success and see how a new outfit or a makeover can suddenly make a woman who’s in challenging circumstances feel hopeful.
Everything gets upgraded regularly—phones, software, computers. And now it’s your turn. Unlike our mothers, we have so many things we can do now to look our best--and you'll find all these step-by-step techniques in this course.
Are you ready to meet the real you today? It doesn’t just happen by accident. You have to push past inertia to make it happen. Fortunately some things do get better with age and you can be one of them! So it’s time to wrap your arms around change, take the plunge and enroll today!
INSTRUCTOR BIO
A lifelong makeup and beauty junkie, Elise Marquam-Jahns has trained with a top, nationally known makeup artist. She has spent the last ten years focusing on makeup techniques and tips that specifically help women over 50 get their glow back and for six years worked as a makeup artist for a major cosmetics line.
She has made presentations to many women's groups, contributed to and been featured in magazines and online sites such as Who What Wear, Prime Time for Women, Byrdie, Honey Good, Well + Good, Women in the Middle, Kuellife, Sixtyandme, The Transition Network, Revel and Newcomer’s groups around the country. Through the in-person classes she’s taught over the past ten years and individual one-on-one makeup consultations, she’s reached thousands of women. And her YouTube channel “Boomer and Beyond Beauty with Elise” has accumulated almost a quarter of a million views.
Let’s Make This a Little More Personal
I was only a couple of years away from retiring from the public television station where I'd worked for 33 years when the light bulb went on for me. I was sitting in our family room watching The Learning Channel's program What Not To Wear. In case you aren't familiar with this TV show, Hosts Clinton Kelly and Stacy London worked with women nominated by friends and family who felt they were "style challenged." In addition to providing style guidance and a $5,000 Visa card to shop for a new wardrobe in New York City, the women chosen for the show were also given a new hair style and a makeover by a top makeup artist. Often the older women--especially--would look in the mirror after their makeover and be amazed by what they saw. And many were--like me--on the verge of tears when they saw the transformation.
It's when I saw Courtney's makeover that it hit me. I thought "This is what I want to do during my 'second act'--I want to help women 50+ look and feel their best." For the next few years, I read every makeup book I could get my hands on, scoured the internet for makeup videos and took private lessons with a nationally recognized makeup artist. And for six years I worked part time as a makeup artist for a major cosmetics line.
As I've talked and worked with hundreds of women 50+ over the last ten years, it's become clear to me that most of us started wearing makeup in middle school, high school or even college and we continue to use the same techniques we learned then . . . even though these techniques aren't as flattering as they once were since just a few things have changed in the intervening years!
And why wouldn't we continue to use these same techniques? After all, where do we go to learn how to take care of our skin and apply makeup differently?
Having been a part time instructor at the community college level, my natural inclination was to develop a class offering a wide variety of makeup tips and techniques and product information specifically for women 50+. This initial class proved to be the launching pad for Boomer and Beyond Beauty. I now offer three different in-person classes and on-line courses, on-line Zoom consultations and have a YouTube Channel: "Boomer and Beyond Beauty with Elise" where I share makeup tips, techniques and product information for women 50+.
TESTIMONIALS
“Your course has been life changing for me.”--Kate N.
“Elise is a master not only of makeup tips, but of making her classes fun and interesting as well as informative.”–Phyllis L.
“I learned new techniques for my mature skin that I now use every day. Her combined knowledge, experience and charm are her super power and she made me feel and look ten years younger with her fabulous techniques.”--Jennifer P.
“I was feeling ‘blah’ and felt I needed a makeover class especially since noticing many skin changes. When I saw Elise’s makeup class I immediately signed up. Am I ever glad I did. Elise gave us down to earth pointers for the ‘mature woman.’ Even better were the many compliments I received when I applied her techniques. I don’t feel overly made up or anything—something my husband would have hated. I would not hesitate to recommend Elise’s class.” –Esther B.
“Thank you for such a fun and informative class. I learned so much and felt like a transformed woman. I think it’s wonderful what you are doing to help women our age look and feel better about themselves. Thank you again.” –Diana S
“You are a miracle worker! You have given me renewed confidence.”-- Cheryl
T.
“It was fascinating to watch Elise remove her beautiful, professional looking makeup from only one side of her face and then demonstrate each step as she artfully reapplied it to match the other side! As she worked she explained why it’s important for women over 40 to rethink how they use makeup products. I went away with invaluable knowledge as to what I should be using, how to apply it and where to find it. Very shortly after I put her advice into practice, my long time friends—both female and male—noticed the subtle changes I made. They couldn’t put their finger on why, but they did want to know how. I gave each one of them Elise’s name. The compliments still continue after many months and my days are happier. Find yourself in Elise’s classes and you’ll be more confident and happier too.”--Carlene M.
Here's What Others Say About My Teaching . . .
“I have been invisible for about 15 years. Thanks to you I will never be invisible again.”-- Vicki B.
“Sixty-five doesn’t have to be the end of fun with makeup.”-- Angela O.
“I prefer how I look with makeup, but my technique hasn’t quite evolved over the years. You’re so precise and descriptive that all the steps look definitely doable. I can’t wait to pull out my palettes and try these steps for myself. How can I thank you? You’re truly a marvel and an excellent teacher.”--Dorinda K.
“You gave me courage to try more colorful makeup. My eyes used to be watery, my old makeup smudged and creased. Now everything feels great and looks amazing even after a full day. Thank you for your kind and calm voice, reassurance that we CAN do this and professional advice!”--Thale K.
“It’s such a treat to have pretty looking eyes again.” –Jaye H.
“I’ve branched out from my 45 year addiction to brown eye shadows and bought navy and purple based on your recommendations for brown eyes. Also tried using shadow as liner. Love my new look at 65!!! Thank you!!!!”--Lu Lu P.
“I’m so glad I found you. My image in the mirror this morning scared me.”--Sarah M.
“I took many of your tips and suggestions with me on my vacation and felt more confident than ever that I was successfully improving my appearance with my makeup application.”--Doreen Z.
“I am impressed with your warm manner and very clear and well thought out explanations and demonstrations of ‘how-to.’ All my life I had never felt secure without eye makeup. I didn’t grow up feeling confident about my appearance. But now I’m totally committed again to wearing eye makeup. I’m not happy about some of the ways my face has aged, and wearing eye makeup gives me the psychological and emotional lift that I need.”--Andrea C.
“I decided to pull out my makeup bag and use your makeup tips while putting on my face. First of all, it was incredibly easy. Secondly, by changing where I put the various colors of eyeshadow my dark blue eyes popped out. Thirdly, using my blush in a tube and going from just below the temples to the jawbones made the blush look more natural. When I finished my routine in less than 15 minutes, I saw a vibrant, glowing face look back at me in the mirror. Elise, you are a wonder worker and you made my day.” – Monica C.
“The new makeup routine is working so well for me. Thank you! Thank you! BTW, my husband knows that something is different about my look but he can’t pinpoint exactly what it is except that he really likes it. I don’t plan to share my secret with him! You are a wonder worker.”--Mandy B.
“You give such good information and your demos are really clear. And I appreciate that your explanations help simplify things. I am not someone who is makeup naive either, but I am surprised at what I don’t know!!!”--Johanna H.
“You’re so inspirational! You’ve taught me how to use color and have helped me step out of my light beige comfort zone. A big thank you to you, Elise!”--Ann D.
“Great tips, Elise. Brilliant ideas. You’re so personable, approachable and friendly, I feel like I could sit down and have a chat with you over a coffee.” – Ros F.
“I’ve worn makeup for many years. BUT, I need to add a caveat that I’m really a newbie because wearing makeup for years meant the basics—foundation and mascara—very flat and monochrome with no contouring. I’ve now upped my game. You are most definitely making a difference in women’s lives.”-- Lynn L.
“I really relish learning all these techniques and continually marvel at what a gifted teacher you are.”--Dorinda K.
