Why You Should Try Airbrush Makeup
When you’re getting something done, it’s a good idea to know a little bit about it— especially when you’re going to be paying for it! Airbrushing operates by using a power compressor (it’s a lot less scary than it sounds!) which creates an even airflow, controllable by your makeup artist, allowing for a gentle application. There are many different brands and even different types of machines! There are some that have almost a pen-like applicator that connects to its compressor via a hose, and some that are more compact and are more handheld. It’s definitely something that brides and clients alike find relaxing when sitting in the makeup chair!
Natural Airbrush Makeup
The world of makeup, whether you’ve been around the block a few times or it’s something totally new for you, there’s always more to learn and try out! When you’re having services done, it’s an especially great time to take the leap of faith and try something new. It’s a lot easier (not to mention much less frustrating) when you opt for something new at the hands of a professional— you’re able to ask questions, see how the products your artist uses work for your skin, and ultimately it’s nice to see what your end result should look like. When it comes to airbrush makeup? Things are no different! Keep reading to find out the 411 on this amazing service, and see why it may be the best fit for your next special occasion!
What Is Airbrush Makeup?
When you’re getting something done, it’s a good idea to know a little bit about it— especially when you’re going to be paying for it! Airbrushing operates by using a power compressor (it’s a lot less scary than it sounds!) which creates an even airflow, controllable by your makeup artist, allowing for a gentle application. There are many different brands and even different types of machines! There are some that have almost a pen-like applicator that connects to its compressor via a hose, and some that are more compact and are more handheld. It’s definitely something that brides and clients alike find relaxing when sitting in the makeup chair!
Airbrush Makeup Lasts Longer
There are a lot of questions one may have when it comes to airbrush makeup, and one of those is very likely, “How long does airbrush makeup last?” The amazing thing about airbrush makeup is its resilience. Airbrush makeup can last you at least twelve hours and, with proper application and the right brand, can last even longer! It’s perfect for any wedding, event, or occasion and is comforting for the wearer as you know it’s long-lasting. Even through a day of happy tears, your airbrush makeup will still be holding up.
Airbrush Makeup Takes Less Time to Have Done
On your wedding day, the last thing you want is to waste precious time— and you most certainly don’t want to waste time while getting ready! We all love having our hair and makeup done by somebody else, and if you’ve got an amazing Glam Squad, chances are you’ve been blessed with a timeline so you can know when it’s your time to experience the magic. When done properly, airbrush makeup actually takes less time to apply than traditional! You can even still get all the bells and whistles like highlight, contour, blush, etc. An amazing makeup look that keeps you in the chair for less time, giving you more time to enjoy your day and make more memories!
Airbrush Makeup Holds Up Through the Weather
So we’re loving the versatility that airbrush makeup has to offer, and things just keep getting better! When you’re researching to find your dream Glam Squad you’re probably wondering if your makeup will be able to withstand any environmental factors. As we all know life happens— sometimes dates have to be moved around, and sometimes it might just be slightly more humid than expected. Most airbrush makeups are water-resistant, given that they have a silicone-based formula. (Note: if you know that your skin does not react well to silicone products, it’s a good idea to check with your makeup artist before having your service started to avoid any reactions.) It’s good to know that your makeup is going to stand strong throughout the day!
Airbrush Makeup Looks More Natural
You want your makeup to look good for pictures, but it should still be wearable in person too. One of the best things about airbrush makeup is that thanks to its method of application, it looks much more natural. This is great because, with airbrush makeup, a little goes a long way. So as you layer you don’t have to worry about your makeup having a cake-y finish. You’ll still look amazing in photos, and you won’t fret about feeling as if you have on too much makeup. Win-win!
Should You Try Airbrush Makeup?
All in all, the choice is up to you when it comes to choosing between airbrush and traditional makeup. Like always, it’s important to consider your skin type, as well as the look that you’re ultimately going for. There are amazing benefits to both, but it’s nice to have these perks and the reassurance that airbrush makeup is a great long-lasting option. Try this amazing application technique at your Engagement Session or Bridal Trial, it’s the perfect way to test it out before your Big Day!

Lipstick Colors for the Fall Season
Hey there y’all, welcome back to the blog and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
We hope that you’re surrounded by love and enjoying the holiday with your family and/or loved ones. We’re so grateful that we’re able to work with and for so many amazing people, and it’s such a blessing to be able to serve people the way that we do!
This week we aren’t focusing on brands, so much as we are helping you to find that perfect fall shade! There are many different routes you can go, and with so many different versions of what can start to seem like the same color, it can be overwhelming to figure out which shade of lipstick is right for you.
Generally speaking, the most popular fall colors are going to be those that are within the berry, red, and nude families. These colors all provide you with a large variety of options to choose from, and it’s a good place to start as far as picking out a shade goes. Within each of these color families, you can find or combine shades to give you the perfect fall lip!
The great thing about lipsticks is that even if you aren’t able to find that hue that’s just right, it’s easy to alter and mix shades together to complement your individual skin tone based off of your undertones. We practice this quite a bit as makeup artists, and love the fact that we are able to create a shade that may have seemed “unwearable” at some point. Everyone should be able to rock the lipstick of their choice, so why not go the extra mile and combine shades so that we’re able to do so?!
Do you have a shade in mind that’s going to be your go to? We love bold Crimson reds and deep plum/berry shades! Try this trick the next time you pick up a shade that doesn’t seem doable for you, and let us know if you’ve found a new lip shade out of it!
