Makeup in CT

jmarch07

I am looking for a reasonably priced makeup artist (preferably airbrush) in southern CT. I’ve read reviews online and looked at galleries and it’s so hard to tell who’s good and who’s not!!! A few of my bridesmaids will also be getting their makeup done!! I've heard good things about Dana Bartone and Erin Infatino. 

Also, it’s hard for me to tell what the average pricing is and who might be overcharging a bit!

Any help from fellow brides would be great!! It’s so much easier to hear about people’s experiences!!

THANKS!!

Danielle Santagata

She is wonderful!  She uses airbrush foundation which is so light it feels like you have nothing on!  I did a trial with her before I booked to make sure I liked her style.  She also reshapes your eyebrows by hand!  With tweezers!  They looked awesome!   

Obviously I can't rave enough!!  And her prices are great too!  Very affordable.

Good luck!

I used Dana Bartone and she was wonderful.  Dana did all the girls' hair and then Janice did makeup. She was great (I actually did my own makeup because I'm so picky but I loved how the girls' makeup came).

Lots of people also use (and love) Naomi Martinez. I think she's more expensive than Dana.

Some other people that come highly recommended: Beauty Entourage and Larissa Lake.

Good luck!

This exactly.  I used Danielle for my wedding last month and she did a fabulous job!  I even received a couple of compliments from guests on how perfectly shaped my eyebrows were :)

EDIT: I forgot to mention, Danielle is based in Greenwich and will travel to you for free if you're within 45 miles.  I think she charges a small travel fee for anything beyond 45 miles.  HTH!

I"m using Erin Infantino for my wedding. I've used her before and so have some of my friends and her work has always consistently been outstanding and she's very relaxing to be around. I found most reputable artists to charge about the same price for brides and bridesmaids.

A Second for Dana!

I'm a Dana fan all the way!  She did my makeup and Amy did the makeup for my BMs.  Everyone looked amazing!

Larissa Lake!!!! She is seems to be a little bit more reasonable with her prices and travel fees and is such a sweetheart!! She has never gotten a bad review that I have seen and everyone just raves about her work!! Definately check her out!!

A third for Danielle Santagata!  She did my wedding last year, and I was extremely pleased!! she did an amazing job with my makeup and eyebrows!

I am using Naomi's.  Candice is doing our makeup.  She did our makeup when my cousin got married and did a fabulous job.  We also used Janice from Naomi's when my friend got married.  Both ladies are wonderful!

I used http://www.atouchofcolormakeup.com/. Sharyn is based out of Shelton. Her prices are very competitive and she doesn't charge travel fee if you are within a certain miles from her studio.

Ditto for Larissa Lake. She ia awesome and so sweet. Her work is amazing. Her travel fees are really inexpensive compared to most of the other traveling makeup artists. GL!

<div>Love love love Shary! I just had my trial with her a few weeks ago and told her I was taking her home with me so she could make me look that good every day. I'm so excited to have her for my wedding. HIGHLY recommended!</div>

I am using Ivette Wellman out of Hamden, CT. http://www.ivettewellman.com/

Just had my trial with Crystal Razor http://www.crystalrazor.com/

She was amazing and we booked her for our wedding in November. I think she is very reasoably priced and I think her website says she does airbrushing as well.

 Are there any afforadable make up artist in or around the Hartford area?
