Airbrush Makeup vs. Regular Makeup: What You Need to Know

Besides your gorgeous attire, it’s pretty safe to assume that everyone’s attention will be focused on your lovely face as you’re walking down the aisle on your wedding day. While the moment will feel fleeting, your photos will last forever— which begs the question, is airbrush makeup really worth the higher price tag? Popular in the world of film and celebrities, the airbrush makeup technique sprays a fine mist of foundation for a consistent, even application (often thinner than regular formulas) boasting lightweight coverage that covers imperfections.

Traditionally airbrush makeup lasts about 6 to 10 hours longer than traditional wedding makeup. Mainly because it’s an ultra fine concentrated mist that absorbs directly into the skin—not merely sitting on top of it—giving it longer durability. Overall it feels featherlight on the skin, yet can withstand heat, humidity, tears, and sweat.

Why? Most airbrush makeup products are silicone based and will be applied for buildable coverage. Investing in a high quality product for your wedding day will ensure that your makeup doesn’t move from the first kiss to the last kiss.

Although some think that airbrush makeup for your wedding will be ‘cakey’ it is actually the exact opposite airbrush makeup allows the natural hues in your skin to radiate through the makeup allowing it to look very natural.

Plus, it’s not just limited to foundation. The possibilities are endless with airbrush—you can conceal, foundation, blush, bronze, and highlight.
