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!

BEST Long Lasting Foundations for Wedding Makeup
Good morning/afternoon y’all, can you believe it’s already MID November?!
It’s so interesting to see how quickly time flies, but we hope that you’re achieving the goals you set out for yourself this month as well as this year.
Let’s talk long wear makeup! Imagine it being your wedding day and after hours of everyone getting ready and beautified, no one’s makeup lasts even up to the ceremony! The last thing that you want to be stressing over on your wedding day is your makeup not holding up as it should, and with Charleston weather, it’s really important to be prepared for all of the elements. This week we’re bringing you some info about some of the best long lasting foundations to keep you feeling your best through getting ready, pictures, the ceremony, and past the reception. Keep reading to get the details!
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
WE LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! If you’re looking for makeup that’s going to not only long wearing, but that is perfect for outside weddings, this is the foundation for you!! This foundation offers excellent coverage, and does not budge one bit. It also is a very inclusive product, boasting a total of 50 shades for beauties of all tones. Though it’s marketed to those with oily skin, this foundation works wonders for all skin types as well. It’s definitely worth noting that this foundation is transfer proof and is very similar to airbrush makeup!
2. Too Faced Born This Way Foundation
This foundation is incredible! This product also has a very inclusive shade range, and in fact was recently revamped in collaboration/partnership with YouTuber Jackie Aina. As stated in the graphic above, this makeup will last you about 12 hours, leaving plenty of time for you to dance the day/night away and enjoy our beautiful Charleston weather! You won’t experience any flashback with this foundation either, making it perfect for when you have photos done. This is a great product for our oily gals!
3. NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation
This is another product that is absolutely wonderful if you’re looking for makeup that lasts all day! While this foundation in particular doesn’t have quite the extensive shade range as the previously mentioned products, it does have something for almost everyone and is relatively easy to shade match through other means. Similar to the others, this foundation is also medium to full coverage, and lasts up to 16 hours! If you’re looking for a foundation that itself neutralizes discoloration in the skin, this is the one for you, though we do recommend that you follow up with a concealer if necessary.
Did any of these products stand out to you? Have you heard of or tried any of these out yourself? With just enough time until Black Friday, be sure to snag one or some of these foundations to try them out!
