Airbrush Wedding Makeup, Is It For You?

Airbrush Wedding Makeup, Is it for you?

Put away your selfie filters – you won’t need them if you opt for airbrush wedding makeup on your big day.

This method of makeup application, which used to only be available to makeup artists for celebrities and models. Now It’s available to the other 99% of the population.  Like airbrushed photos, it gives you a flawless and natural look and provides strong enough coverage that it can even be used for tattoo coverup makeup application when using the correct type of makeup.

How Does Airbrush Wedding Makeup Work?

1. An airbrush gun, similar to those used by artists, sprays makeup onto your face or body.
2. Airbrush system require specific makeup to work with it. Consult with the manufacturer.
3. The gun sprays a fine mist of foundation over the area you choose.
4. You can achieve the results you are looking for by applying multiple layers of makeup.

Why Airbrush Wedding Makeup?

1. Top Quality:

It’s been used by professional makeup artists for years to make celebrities and models look flawless for events and photo shoots.

2. Flexible Coverage:

The airbrush gun delivers a fine mist of makeup, so unlike most foundations, you can achieve anything from a no-makeup look to a full-on diva effect by applying more layers.

3. Long Lasting:

Ordinary foundations are put on with one coat.  If that layer comes off or smears – all of your makeup is coming off or smearing.  The light, multiple applications you use with airbrushing prevents that sort of meltdown.  The top layer won’t impact the bottom layer as much when it starts to lose its luster.

4. Flawless Appearance:

With the mist application, it isn’t recommended for people with fine lines as it will settle and bring them out more. Airbrush makeup won’t get cakey, and you can apply more or less to the areas you choose.  You can more fully cover spots, scars, and imperfections without using too much on the rest of your face, leaving your complexion looking fresh and natural.

5. Photo Ready:

With all of these benefits, you can have your wedding photos taken with the confidence that you look your absolute best.

6. Other Uses:

In addition to applying foundation, it can also be used to apply blush and bronzer, or for tattoo cover up makeup.

Where Can I Get It?

1. Many wedding makeup artists have airbrush tools on hand for special occasions like this.
2. Several stores that carry airbrush kits for purchase, depending on your location.
3. The tools and makeup can be purchased online.

 

Should I Do it Myself?

The equipment and the makeup that is compatible with it are still somewhat expensive. You need to consider if the investment is worth it, or if you will only be using it for your wedding.

It takes a lot of practice to master this technique, so along with the price of the equipment, think about whether or not you have the time and patience for multiple trial runs.

Will you be able to get to the places you need to for your tattoo cover up makeup or will that require enlisting the help of a friend?

If those thoughts are at all discouraging, a professional wedding makeup consultation may be the way to go.  Hiring a professional will cost more but may be a better option if you only plan to use it once.

However, once you see how beautifully it covers, you may just fall in love with it and start using it every day.
