let’s clear the air about airbrush makeup
January 26, 2010
Recently I read a blog, on one of those huge wedding sites, about traditional makeup vs. airbrush makeup for a bride. I was surprised to read that the author was not biased and made some great points for both applications. I continued to read the comments and the registered brides were thankful for the help while some “anonymous” comments went on to bash airbrush makeup (I’m guessing they don’t use airbrush on their clients). The main thing they were saying was that back in the day, Audrey Hepburn and Vintage Vogue didn’t use airbrush makeup. Here’s what they aren’t thinking…Audrey wasn’t photographed with a Hi-Def camera!
I feel that makeup techniques (and hairstyling) need to keep up with technology (especially those of us artist who work in the wedding and film industry). When a bride asks what is airbrush makeup and why do I need it, I’ll tell them honestly. It is up to them to decide if it is right for them and so far…100% are believers! Although it was a huge investment, to buy the airbrush and learn to use it, I find that I get better results and happier clients (and photographers). Here are some benefits to airbrush makeup:
