Airbrush Makeup

With airbrush makeup the foundation is sprayed through a spray gun breaking the liquid into microdots that sit on the skin giving it the appearance of a flawless complexion. Results may vary depending on skin condition and texture.

Advantages of Airbrush:

Makeup looks seamless
Makeup floats on top of course texture
One product allows minimal or full coverage
Matte Finish
Flawless
Powder cosmetics easily applied on top

I use MAC foundations specifically designed for the airbrush gun it's a micronized airbrush formula.

A cutting edge, silicone based airbrush formula developed expressly for makeup artists working in HDTV, Film and Beauty.

**Please read bridal beauty tips on advice for skin before receiving a airbrush application.

What kind of bride are you?

Are you the Elegant and sophisticated bride? This look is classic and timeless. Defined eyes with show stopping lashes, carved out cheekbones and a pouty lip.

Are you the Glamorous and sexy, bride? With Seductive, smoky eyes lots of lash, bronzy, shimmery cheeks with a flush of pink on the apples of your cheek and glossy lips?

Or are you the California Beach bride?, Tousled, wavy hair, ultra tanned body with bronzy shimmery skin?

Whatever bride you are, I will help you to get the look you want. My makeup will still be you, but stunning and drop-dead gorgeous!
You may elect to schedule the trial when you can wear the makeup for a full day or for an evening out.
