What's the difference between liquid makeup and airbrush makeup?
- Airbrush make-up is sprayed onto the face using an air compressor and a gun. By using this method you are able to spray tiny spots of foundation to cover up blemishes, acne, freckles as well as any other hyper pigmentation on the skin. Using longer strokes you are able to blend skin tone. All of this using 1/3 the amount of foundation you would typically use with traditional make-up. The biggest advantage to using an air brush is longevity of the application and for those looking for flawless make-up for a wedding or the perfect application for high definition TV, photography or cinema. The airbrush is by far the superior technique.
Airbrush makeup is so expensive, is it worth it?
- That depends on how you value your look for the event of a lifetime or appearance on any High Definition media. The peace of mind knowing you look your absolute best without any touch up for at least 9 hours.
Will the make-up transfer onto the clothing?
- No!
What is the percentage of brides who ask for airbrush and why?
- 90% of my brides request the airbrush makeup. They desire so because it looks flawless, lasts longer, photographs well and saves them money of hiring a makeup artist for all day to touch up.
-Why does every makeup artist charges a different rate?
- Every makeup artist charges according to his/her level of experience and the product quality. Certified professional makeup artists charge more than amateurs. My rates reflect industry standard and you will get what you paid for: Beautiful images that last for generations.
