Advantages of Airbrush Makeup for your Wedding Day Wedding General Party Tips
As digital media continues to evolve, airbrush make-up is once again gaining popularity. Everyone wants to experience that flawless perfectly contoured look. Want to look like a celebrity for your wedding day? Get Airbrushed!
There are two questions I am most often asked. What is Airbrush Make-up? Why should I consider airbrush make-up vs. traditional make-up for my wedding or special event?
Airbrush make-up is a liquid form of make-up that is applied with an airbrush very similar to those used by canvas artists and automotive airbrush artists. Unlike the traditional make-up application, an airbrush make-up application requires an airbrush and air compressor. The liquid make-up is designed to be sprayed at a very low pressure making the application a pleasing experience for the recipient. Airbrush make-up leaves a light, seamless blend of color, creating the illusion of a perfect face; allowing your true skin tone to show through without masking your face.
Superior Coverage, Sheer Texture
Airbrush foundations are traditionally high in coverage, but thin in texture. Because the makeup is dispensed in micro-fine layers with an airbrush versus a make-up brush or cosmetic sponge, the results appear more natural and sheer.
Even Skin Tone
Airbrush make-up can be easily custom blended to ensure a smooth, natural coverage that matches your skin tone. Skin imperfections like redness, age spots, sun damage, and acne scarring can be camouflaged with minimal product so there is no caked on appearance. This allows for your skin tone to appear even in tone and more radiant.
Flawless Finish
Compared to traditional make-up, the spray-dot pattern that airbrushed make-up leaves on the skin is very different. Because the airbrush pattern is micro-fine, it photographs more evenly and offers a flawless finish appearance. The airbrush pattern does not leave behind lines or ragged edges typical of make-up brushes or cosmetic sponges. Why is this important? Marks that are not discernable to the naked eye may be quite noticeable in hi-definition and high-resolution digital photography environments.
Hypoallergenic Options
If you ever get skin irritation from your liquid make-up chances are it is from the alcohol and silicone. What does this mean to you? Even people with the most sensitive skin can use can use specific types of make-up. True water-based airbrush make-up is light, breathable, and does not contain alcohol or silicone. If you have sensitive skin, be sure to check with your make-up artist on the type of airbrush make-up they use and whether or not is contains alcohol or silicone.
Longevity
With the recent improvements in formulations, airbrush make-up is designed to last. Even people with oily and acne prone skin will benefit from the longevity of airbrush make-up.
The Bottom Line
The coverage, texture, longevity, and durability offered by airbrush make-up leaves a flawless finish that stands up to the scrutiny of hi-definition and high resolution digital photography. Want to look fabulous in your pictures? Get Airbrushed!

Best Bridal Mascara for Long Luscious Lashes Wedding General Party Tips
On occasion, I have been known to sleep in my mascara. Scary...I know. We all dread the morning raccoon eyes and hope that our partner is not looking as we scurry out of bed to wash the black off our eyes. After all...we do NOT want them to see the scary eyed monster we became in the middle of the night! That would not be romantic!
With all the advances in technology, is it possible that someone finally developed a mascara that does not smudge or flake...a mascara that we could sleep in...(only on occasion of course)! The answer is yes!
But before we get to the mascara preferred by several professional make-up artists...including myself, let's review different types of Mascaras available on the market:
Thickening Mascaras: Creates a wider looking lash by plumping out the lash from the root to the tip.
Lengthening Mascaras: Adds fibers to the tips of the lashes to make them appear longer.
Waterproof Mascaras: Just that....waterproof! Difficult to remove, however. Waterproof Mascaras can also be drying and therefore comprise the integrity of your eyelashes.
Tube Mascaras: Tube mascaras forms tiny "tubes" around your lashes which visibly lengthen your lashes.
And the winner is....Tube Mascaras!
Benefits to Tube Mascaras:
* Yes...they do lengthen and dramatically add vavoom to your eyelashes!
* Clump free
* Smudge-proof
* Flake-proof
* Long-wear
* Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
* Removes easily with water
* Does not come off with oily skin
* Are not an eyelash paint
In my opinion, these mascaras are better than waterproof as the tubes will only come off when warm water and gentle pressure is applied. No make-up remover is required and upon removal, you will actually see the tiny tubes come off into your fingertips. Since both water water and gentle pressure are needed to remove the tubes, this absolutely means long-lasting wear. Say goodbye to those raccoon eyes!
Hands down, Tube Mascara is the best bridal mascara. I always use a Tube Mascara on my brides...particularly those who are prone to crying. Crying does not produce enough water to loosen the tubes' adhesion to your lashes.
My two favorite brands of Mascara that use tube technology include:
Blinc (formerly know as Kiss Me) - approximately $25 per 0.21 oz tube (pioneers of tube mascara!)
Loreal Double Extend® Beauty Tubes™ - approximately $7.75 per tube (0.17 oz basecoat / 0.16 oz topcoat).
When using Mascara on faux eyelashes or eyelash extensions....I prefer Blinc. For everyday wear, I have been happy with Loreal Double Extend® Beauty Tubes™
So go ahead and cry. That's right.....cry your little heart out and guess what...when your done, your mascara will still be there.
