Meet Debbie Goulding, Makeup Artist and Educator in Kingston, Ontario

Every woman deserves to understand her skin, her features, and the quiet confidence already within her. Timeless Makeup Academy was created as a gentle, educational space here in Kingston, Ontario, where women can learn with clarity, feel supported, and reconnect with their natural beauty at every age.

With over three decades of experience in the beauty industry, I lead through education first. As a professional makeup artist and passionate educator, I believe that true beauty begins with knowledge and confidence. My mission is to empower women by teaching the art of skincare and makeup with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.

Through my work as a Jane Iredale Educator and founder of Timeless Makeup Academy, I encourage women to embrace clean beauty, modern techniques, and self-assurance at every age. I proudly integrate RIMAN Korean Skincare and NuFACE advanced facial technology into my services, helping clients achieve healthy, radiant skin from the inside out.

My approach is rooted in authenticity, educating first, empowering always.

“Education is the most powerful tool in beauty. When you understand what works for you, confidence naturally follows.”

Debbie’s Philosophy

Beauty Begins With Understanding

I’ve learned that women don’t need heavy makeup or complicated routines. They need guidance that feels honest and clear. My philosophy is simple:

Teach first, always with care

Enhance, never overwhelm

Choose products that respect the skin

Build confidence through clarity

The Story That Shaped the Academy

There is a moment I carry with me every day. A woman once sat in my chair and quietly shared that she had never felt attractive. She described a rich, full life—family, love, success—yet none of it changed the way she saw herself.

As we talked through her skincare, her products, and the intention behind each step, everything began to shift. When she saw her reflection, she didn’t see a different woman; she saw herself with a new understanding.

That experience revealed something important. Women don’t need to be “fixed.” They need someone to guide them, teach them, and help them see what has always been there.

Since that day, I’ve made it my purpose to create a space where women feel seen, supported, and capable of understanding their skin and embracing their natural features.

Your confidence was never lost… it was simply waiting to be seen again.

Clean Beauty Commitment

My approach is guided by five pillars. These principles shape every lesson, consultation, and application inside the Academy.

✓ Ingredient Integrity: Products should be safe, transparent, and respectful of your skin’s natural balance.

✓ Performance Without Compromise: Clean formulas must also deliver results you can see and feel.

✓ Education at the Core: When you understand your products, your confidence grows.

✓ Personalized Routines: Your lifestyle, comfort level, and skin needs guide every recommendation.

✓ Long-Term Skin Health: Beauty should support you over time, not just in the moment.

The Academy Experience

When you walk into my studio, you enter a calm, supportive environment where learning feels comfortable and personalized. Together, we focus on:

✓ Understanding your skin and features
✓ Simplifying your routine
✓ Choosing clean, effective products
✓ Practicing hands-on techniques
✓ Building confidence at every step

Women often tell me they finally feel seen, sometimes for the first time in years. That is the heart of my work.
