Airbrush Makeup

By Lisa Lemming, Hair and Makeup artist, www.lisaleming.com

Brides often ask me what is the difference between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup.

There are a few things.

For one, airbrush makeup goes through an airgun that allows it to lay on the skin.

Also, there are different bases for airbrush makeup that are important to understand.

Some are water based and some are silicone based.

I prefer silicone based because it is virtually sweat and tear resistant and a great choice for brides.

It also can give a lovely dewy finish but still controls oil and shine and looks amazing in photos.

Traditional makeup foundations also come in water based and silicone based, and work well,

but I have found that airbrush makeup really holds up much better for long wedding days.
