Make-up Artist suggestions

I need recommendations for a make-up artist for my wedding in May in the central CT area that is reasonably priced.  I don't ever wear make-up and never have, so I want someone who will do a subtle/natural job so that I still look like myself.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

    I'm using Larissa Lake. She's out of Wethersfield but will travel anywhere, and her travel fees weren't outrageous like some of the others. She does air brush makeup too, so it will look natural. For hair/makeup on the day of the wedding plus travel fees, my total was $230. I think the trial total for both was like $130. GL

    Thanks for the recommendations ladies!  I am going to check out the people you mentioned. 
    When you said that Larissa Lake was around $240 for the day of- is that just for doing the make-up for the bride or did that include any of your bridal party?

    I had the exact same problem/question you are having! I did some research and went with Danielle Santagata.  Her work look amazing and her prices beat everyone else.  Her prices are:

    Bridal makeup--$100 (inclues airbrush, lashes eye brows, and lip touch up kit)
    Bridal trial--$45
    Bridesmaids--$45 (airbrush)
    Traveling fee over 60 miles--$15

    Def check her out! Dsantagata1923@yahoo.com

    GL :)
