Did you know that one of the very first TV shows that used airbrush makeup is our all-time favorite FRIENDS? They’re still up on Netflix if you want to check. During the later seasons, their makeup doesn’t look like makeup at all! They looked fresh and their makeup looked like real skin. A lot of films and TV shows use airbrush makeup to ensure that their actors don’t have that cake on their face when filming and to lessen time being spent on retouching. Plus, airbrush makeup is great for characters that don’t require makeup but actors that still want to look like they have healthy and glowy skin.
Airbrush Makeup for Brides
Over the past few decades, airbrush makeup has also become very popular with brides. And although it can be quite expensive, brides really shell out a budget for an airbrush makeup artist because they want to look their best during their big day. If you’re contemplating on getting airbrush services for your wedding or not, let us tell you the reasons why you should.
Long Lasting
Airbrush makeup doesn’t require that much when it comes to retouches. In fact, if your airbrush pigment is really good, you might not require retouches at all! Silicone based airbrush pigments are the best especially if you sweat a lot or if your wedding is outdoors like the beach or a garden. Airbrush makeup can withstand elements like heat, wind and even a little drizzle. In fact, even if people touch your skin, it’s still going to remain intact.
Looks Like Real Skin
Reserve the glam, heavy-coverage look for another day. You want to look fresh and flawless during your wedding. Airbrush makeup looks like real skin. It makes you look youthful and glowy without adding too much product on your face. It creates a smooth finish making you look like you’re naturally beautiful. Oftentimes, airbrush makeup seems like you’re not wearing makeup at all.
Tear Resistant
I mean, do I even need to explain this? One of the most popular horror stories of bridal makeup artists is their need to retouch and cover tear tracks. You don’t need to fear that anymore because even if you cry, your tears will just flawlessly roll down your cheeks without ruining your makeup. You can even go swimming with a good airbrush pigment. This is why photoshoots done at the beach or at a pool usually require the presence of an airbrush makeup artist.
Full Coverage
Contrary to popular belief, airbrush makeup can cover your pimples, dark circles and the like. So even if it’s light on the skin, because the pigments are so nice, they’re able to conceal what needs to be concealed. This is an important factor to consider especially that a lot of brides go through a lot of stress before their wedding and end up with a lot of breakouts. And let’s not get started on sleepless nights that create nasty, dark circles.
Remember however, to ask for a trial makeup session for your makeup artist before you consider hiring one because all kinds of airbrush pigments have different compositions. This is to ensure that the pigment used on you is actually suitable for your skin type. More than that, you will be able to check if the HMUA will do a nice job before you even sign a contract with them.
