Airbrush Wedding Makeup vs. Traditional Wedding Makeup

TRADITIONAL APPLICATION
My traditional makeup application provides sheer to full coverage. This type of make-up is waterproof, ready to wear, works with all skin types and comes in an all inclusive color range. It If good products are being used by your make-up artist, no matter what type of lighting or the type of lens shooting you, you will look flawless.
AIRBRUSH APPLICATION
Airbrush Makeup is a specialized makeup application previously used by makeup artists for professional photography and celebrities. It is a technique of applying makeup through an airbrush sprayer, which finely mists on foundation giving you a natural, flawless, durable picture perfect skin.
With a superior waterproof technology, Airbrush was created for active wear, water scenes and WEDDINGS! This make-up provides sheer to maximum coverage and it is smudge proof and non-transferable on clothes (perfect for the white gown!) It stays on until you take it off.

Does the color of the wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses impact the makeup color choices?
For bridesmaids, I always like to play up fun colors such as purples, blues, greens and pinks in the bridesmaid’s make-up – just a pop of the corresponding color to add a little dimension – it really stands out in photos!
While you don’t need to liner the entire eye with the coordinating color or cover the entire lid with a bright tone – a subtle use of the color goes a long way. I would only use these tones on the eyes, and keep the lips more neutral so it isn’t too much.
For the brides I keep their palette pretty standard, since the bride is photographed close up and is mainly pictured with a groom wearing black and white, I like to keep her makeup fresh, natural and romantic. I would rarely incorporate the corresponding bridesmaid color if it was vivid unless the bride requested. The main colors I use on brides are pinks, browns and champagne tones.
If a bride is wearing a bright white dress, I tend to have a little bit of a heavier hand when applying her foundation and blush so she doesn’t look washed out. For champagne and ivory dresses, I love to use whatever browns coordinate with their skin tone – there are so many colors out there, there are no wrong or right shades, it’s all about what works for the individual!
