The modern way to wear matte is to keep it soft, sexy and sophisticated. Our Matte Eye Collection combines the best of both warm and cool tones in easy-to-wear, sueded neutrals. It will have you looking polished and pretty in a flash, without the flash!

More To Love:  Modern Mattes: Our cashmere-soft matte shadow is velvety in texture, creating classic, shadow looks that create a fresh, modern look.

 Beyond Blendable: Our revolutionary silky formula is easy to blend and offers gorgeous color payoff.  

How-To Cards: Our signature, how-to lesson cards offer step-by-step application instructions for creating modern matte eyes in minutes. 

You can purchase this at www.toofaced.com or at ULTA!

BLUSH is looking for you!


Blush by Wendy Ballance is looking for a talented makeup artist to join the team!
We have been so fortunate this year with over 125 bookings including weddings, portraits, photoshoots, and more!  

Interested?

*Artist must have at least 3 years of experience
             *Artist must have their own makeup kit approved by Wendy Ballance to go on location
* Approved Brush Set
* Portfolio
* At least 2 professional references 

from Wendy...

I can't even begin to express my gratitude to all of our clients this year and to the vendors that have recommended myself and team for makeup services.

 I will only add a 4th makeup artist if I feel that it is a perfect fit for this team. I have known Kristen Davis & Jessica Tranchina for over 5 years & I can vouch for the quality of their work. Any new team member must demonstrate the same skill-level, technique and passion for makeup as Kristen and Jessica.

 

Depending on the size of booking, we work together as a team, as a duo or individually. We ALWAYS provide the highest quality of service.


This is my passion...come enjoy it with me!  

Please email all inquiries to Wendy Ballance
