The Jennifer Ballard Signature Look

I firmly believe that makeup should enhance your natural beauty and add a touch of glamour—without ever feeling heavy or caked-on. The result is timeless and elegant, accentuating your best features.

While I have my signature look that I’m most asked for, I’m the type of makeup artist who has you share your vision by asking you to show me inspirational photos. Once I’ve gotten to know your taste a bit, I gently guide you in a direction that I believe you’ll be ecstatic about. But it’s your day! I firmly believe you should do what YOU want (this applies to friends and families opinions too). And that is what I run with. On the other hand, don’t worry if you have no idea what you want, that’s ok too! We’ll peek at some different styles that I think will compliment you best.

One of my favorite looks (and looks amazing on almost everyone) is immaculate skin paired with an elevated neutral eye (clients often tell me I have “an eye for eyes”) and a hint of drama from natural-looking false lashes.

When women think of a neutral eye, they often think there’s only one type. But there are so many versions of neutral eyes we can create - everything from subtle for daytime to dramatic for night. These eye looks make the eyes “pop” while making a subtle statement.

I often recommend natural looking strip or individual false lashes to ensure they accentuate your eyes but don’t overtake them. These take a bit longer to apply but are worth it for those with refined taste. You won’t find any spidery looking lashes here!

Each makeup application begins with nourishing skin care products, hand-selected based on your skin type and texture. Then we use a combination of traditional and/or airbrush makeup to get a flawless skin-like finish, complete with hand-applied lashes.

Please note that several clients shown have permanent eyebrow makeup or eyeliner that could not be altered with makeup.
