Airbrush vs Traditional Makeup

On your big day, you’re going to want to look your best—which means you want your skin to look amazing! Opting for airbrush makeup application is one way to get flawless skin for your wedding. But it’s important to know the pros and cons of traditional makeup and airbrush makeup. So how do you decide if one is right for you? What’s the difference between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup?

Whatever you decide, we will work to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident on your special day—with or without airbrush! 

 
 

What is Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush makeup is a light weight mist that comes out thru a small spray gun machine. It creates an even layer of makeup and a glowy natural skin finish.  

We use Temptu airbrush makeup which is silicone-based, and is one of the best top performers in the airbrush industry.

PRO’S

  • even layer of coverage

  • hypoallergenic & gluten free

  • skin like natural finish

  • transfer resistant

  • Last up to 24 hours without you having to touch it up

CON’S

  • It can enhance dry skin & patches

  • Also villus hair also known as the fine thin hair on your face

    Even with both disadvantages there can be a work around. With dry skin if you start a daily skin care routine along with weekly exfoliation you can minimize dry skin and patches. For the best treatment for you we recommend speaking to your dermatologist or esthetician .

    If you have vellus hair on your face you can opt in to wax or shave this areas. For best results we ask that you have it done months before your event to make sure no irritation occurs.

What is Traditional Makeup?

Traditional makeup is any foundation that is applied with fingers, a sponge, or makeup brushes. It does not matter if it is powder, cream, or liquid.

We use our top-quality foundations. You don’t have to worry that your makeup will run if you sweat or cry. As long as you don’t smear, scratch, or rub your face with your hands, you can expect it to last up to 24 hours. You will need an occasional touch-up to keep your makeup flawless all night. It definitely requires touching up with blotting papers and/or powder. 

You could also opt-in to have one of our professional makeup artists stay with you all day to keep you looking flawless at all times!

PRO’S

  • flawless dewy finish

  • easy application

  • the cost is lower than the airbrush

CON’S

  • Requires touch-ups

Airbrush and traditional makeup are both fantastic options for your special event. What is most important for your wedding day makeup is the makeup artist who applies it.
