The Jennifer Ballard Signature Makeup 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 (soft glam) 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 choice!
I firmly believe that your bridal makeup should reflect 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.
Note: The majority of these photos are NOT altered in any way. That means not photoshopped, retouched, filtered, etc. in any way other than to brighten the picture (unlike many makeup artists’ photos you see online).

My Makeup Style:
Neutral Soft Glam:
(It’s ok if you’re not sure what soft glam is … I consult with my clients about their preferences before we start!)
One of my favorite looks (and looks amazing on almost everyone) is immaculate skin paired with an elevated neutral eye, a touch of shimmer (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.
Natural Looking Lashes
I often recommend natural looking 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 a refined taste. You won’t find any spidery looking lashes here!
Luxury, High Quality Products Blended To Perfection
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.

Several of the clients shown have permanent eyebrow makeup or eyeliner that could not be altered with makeup.
