Wedding Day Makeup Choices – Airbrushed or Traditional Bride

Airbrush or Traditional Makeup! Which is better? The beautiful bride-to-be can’t decide which is the best for her wedding day, that is approaching fast. Read on in details about these makeup techniques to make it easier for you to choose along with choosing the right makeup artist.

What is an Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush Makeup comprises an Airbrush stylus and air compressor. The makeup and foundation are applied in the form of the very fine mist like layer which is very light on the skin. The product is thinner than foundation and can be used to give a sheer or complete coverage look. It gives a very professional and natural look. Some airbrush foundations are silicone based and some are water-based. DIY at home Airbrush makeup kits are also available.

What is Traditional Makeup?

Traditional Makeup is what you have been using until now. Traditional makeup has many products like liquid foundations, cremes’, loose powders that are applied with brushes and sponges. This is applied in more thicker consistency over the face. It hides most flaws of the face.

The Difference!

• Airbrush makeup is supposed to last longer than traditional makeup esp. if a silicone-based foundation is used, so this is often the better choice for the bride.
• Airbrush Makeup looks great in photographs.
• Airbrush Makeup is able to handle tears and sweat much better than traditional makeup. Whereas Traditional makeup could run down on clothes with sweat and tears.
• Airbrush Makeup doesn’t cover those blemishes and pimples on your skin evenly.
• Airbrush makeup is waterproof and doesn’t fade until you wash it away.
• Since Airbrush Makeup is Waterproof, a dry skinned woman cannot use it as their skin would look flaky in it.
• There are a limited number of Airbrush makeup shades in the market which doesn’t give the bride a lot of choices.
• Airbrush is relatively expensive than Traditional Makeup.
• Airbrush is suitable for all weathers, which is an added bonus.
• Applying Airbrush Makeup is hygienic as no bacteria or oil or dirt is transferred to the skin or open pores.
• Airbrush Makeup is quite difficult to retouch when applied once. Whereas Traditional Makeup can be touched up at anytime effortlessly.
• Traditional makeup, if done by a good makeup artist can do wonders but if not done properly can cake up.
• Airbrush is lightweight and skin can breathe freely.
