Tip Tuesday!
The truth is both methods of makeup application are great choices! It's really a matter of preference! Here are some things to consider...
Airbrush Makeup
Airbrush makeup is simply makeup mixed with air and applied using an airbrush rather then a brush or sponge. It’s smooth and very liquid allowing for thinner layers of makeup and a lighter feel on the skin. Airbrush is best used on more youthful skin that is hair free (no peach fuzz) that is hydrated and moisturized. Although we have tricks and tips for airbrush application for mature skin, the result can at time accentuate fine lines, wrinkles and any facial hair as it sits on top of the skin.
Airbrush makeup can speed up the makeup application process and allows for a far better result with some application experience, although time must be allowed between layers to allow the product to completely dry. The result is a long lasting flawless finsh that is waterproof and sweatproof providing a 16-72 hour wear depending on the product used.
The biggest advantage to airbrush makeup application is a cleaner, smoother surface when finished, both in terms of feel as well as appearance. Coverage from light to full is possible using airbrush makeup. It also helps reduce the chances of makeup being smudged when left to dry between layers for a flawless makeup finish. Airbrush makeup is often to apply foundation, bronzer, contour, highlight. It can also be used to touch up brows and roots.
Tips for airbrush makeup application
Airbrush is a great solution for acne prone and oily skin. For dryer skin, we recommend you moisturize your skin well prior to application for the best finish. Your artist will apply a primer for the best results.
Myths about airbrush
Airbrush makeup will not erase wrinkles and in some case may accentuate them.
Traditional Makeup
Traditional makeup is an product applied using a brush, sponge or fingers. There are amazing long lasting products that provide excellent coverage. Traditional foundation is often buildable allowing for lighter to full coverage. Formulas range from very hydrating to a more matte finish for oilier skin types.
Traditional makeup can often be more emollient and therefore a better choice for mature skin using creamier and more hydrating formulas.
Occasionally, your artist may apply a light coat of airbrush makeup over traditional makeup for blending and to lock in the makeup for a longer lasting finish.
Both applications will be used with a finishing spray and/or setting powder for longevity.

You've been planning for months and today is the day! Our team is excited to share the short time prior to your walk down the aisle. This is a special time you get to share with your closest friends and family. Music, charcuterie boards, mimosas, laughter, happy tears, and glam are all part of the experience.
Your beauty team arrives with a myriad of tools, and we are here for one purpose, to make you look and feel your very best. As we set up our "workstations", we are not shy about rearranging furniture to be sure we have the best work environment to do what we are hired to do.
Your artists need space and room to work. Makeup artists require the best natural lighting, a work surface near an electrical outlet, and those without their own chair will need a barstool. Your hair artists need a work surface near an outlet for hot tools and a low, preferably armless, chair.
Many times, we already know you. We have been having conversations via phone, text, and email about your day. Your team has been given your schedule, a copy of the contract and invoice has been shared with them, and they have seen the inspiration photos you have shared. We are ready to pamper you. Conversation is underway with you and your besties about the schedule, specific desired looks for hair and makeup, tweaks to your bridal look that you'd like to make. While there is a lot of behind the scenes things that take place on our end, there are also things expected of you and your wedding party as well.
We have a schedule and time frame in which to work. You and yours must be prepared and ready to go. We have given you our "Guide to Day of Beauty" to help you navigate some of the things we recommend and how everyone should arrive. These things are critical to a timely schedule and the best beauty outcome.
How to Prepare for Your Big Day
We often build some extra time into our schedule, however, unexpected things like "a quick shower", wet hair, or a bite to eat, and last night's makeup have not been. Unless it has been specifically discussed ahead of time, everyone should arrive with clean (or one day dirty) and completely dry hair and clean faces.
Every small thing adds to the outcome of your day of beauty. Sleeping with a full face of makeup can cause breakouts and while we can cover them, the best approach is to remove all makeup, wash and moisturize your face the night before and morning of your big day. We know everyone is excited and the party has likely already started, however, excess alcohol and various foods can lead to a puffy, swollen face. Final preparations and late nights could also prevent you from washing your hair resulting in oily, greasy hair that will not produce the best result no matter what product our artists use to help.
Simple Day of Suggestions
Things to have handy:
Healthy snacks, fruit, and plenty of water at the ready
Makeup remover wipes. We suggest CeraVe Hydrating Makeup Wipes, Honest Beauty Makeup Remover Wipes Burts Bees Sensitive Facial Towelettes with Aloe Vera
Eye patches. We suggest Grace & Stella Under Eye Mask
Face hydration any time. We suggest Grace & Stella Spray All Day Rose Spray
Venue: Ever After Farms - Indiantown, Florida
Artists Shown: Becca {makeup}, forefront and Angie {makeup}
