I worked in the TV news business for years and I’ve seen it all — and I can tell you that Jennifer Ballard is the real deal! I didn’t know what to expect when I was looking for a Connecticut makeup artist and when I found her, I was thoroughly impressed. My job was tricky - I was headed to a high-end “1950’s glamorous” party - and thanks to Jenn, I felt gorgeous! Even better, the makeup DID NOT BUDGE all night which is a first! I will be excited to work with her in the future. In fact I had an event last weekend and as I was getting ready, I was thinking, “Where is Jenn when I need her?!”

Hi! I’m Jenn Ballard

Stamford is one of Connecticut’s beautiful places with lots of things to do. It’s also situated close to NYC so a day or night trip is just a short train ride away. There are many amazing restaurants, bars and hotels that will give you a taste of what this city has to offer.

One of my favorite places to stay is the Stamford Marriott. It’s elegant, conveniently located right off 95 and is close to all of Stamford’s nightlife.

Airbrush Makeup vs. Traditional Makeup

Airbrush Makeup Services

Airbrush Makeup services are the choice of many celebrities, brides and bridesmaids, special event goers and even date night. It’s extremely long-lasting, lightweight, and creates a smooth, flawless finish.

Airbrush makeup is on the pricier side to purchase, learn how to do it correctly, and special equipment must be used.

With over 16 years of experience with multiple trainings in NYC, I’ve mastered the technique to give you the perfect even glow you’re after. Whether it’s for your CT wedding day, a professional photoshoot, airbrush makeup is an excellent choice.

Traditional Makeup

Traditional makeup is another perfect choice because it’s so wearable, easy to touch up when needed, and can be just as long lasting, depending on how it’s applied and the foundation that’s selected.

Because there are so many types of traditional foundation makeup, I custom select the brand, type and shade based on your unique skin tone, type, age, etc.

When I apply your traditional makeup, I select A long-wearing foundation, apply it professionally and follow up with long-wear powder and setting spray so that your look doesn’t budge!

Current Bridal Makeup Trial Pricing is $250. Day of is $350 for the bride and $195 for friends and family. Contact me to learn more or schedule a trial or private makeup lesson.

Jennifer is an exceedingly talented makeup artist. As a bride-to-be, I’ve gone through a number of makeup trials with MUAs who didn’t seem receptive to what I wanted for my wedding day. Jennifer proved the polar opposite in asking for both inspiration photos and my aesthetic preferences. Likewise, the products she used in my preview were long-lasting yet looked luminous and natural; even my fiance praised her work, saying it was his “favorite look by far.” Now, instead of fretting about bridal beauty mishaps, I’m very much looking forward to leaving my makeup—as well as that of my wedding party—in Jennifer’s hands. I can’t recommend her highly enough
