Traditional or airbrush?

---

Your wedding date is fast approaching, and you still can’t seem to decide between going with airbrush makeup vs traditional makeup on the big day.

Not to worry, you’ve landed at the right place!

we’ll take a look at the exact differences between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup. As well, we’ll get into the benefits and disadvantages of using either method. Finally, we’ll offer up all the information you need to make a well-rounded decision regarding the type of makeup to use on your wedding day.

Traditional makeup refers to the use of liquid, cream, or powdered foundations that are applied with a range of makeup tools including:

• Fiber brushes
• Sponges
• Foundation brushes

When traditional makeup is applied, it has a thicker consistency. Depending on the skill level of your makeup artist, applying makeup can be a time-consuming process.

One of the main reasons why so many women still prefer to use traditional makeup is that the available options are much more varied compared to what’s available for airbrush makeup lineup. With traditional makeup there are a plethora of formulations for all types of skin, offering anything from light to full coverage.

As the name implies, airbrush makeup is specially formulated to be applied with an airbrush gun and a makeup air compressor.

Good question. Some are silicone based while others are water based. Regardless of their bases, the foundations are much thinner than traditional foundations.

The airbrush makeup is applied in thin layers to the skin, which allows for an even, smooth finished look when applied properly. Because the spray is very finely misted, it provides you with a flawless finish that helps even out the skin tone without weighing the skin down. 

In all honesty, both traditional makeup and airbrush makeup are formulated for all-day wear. When used in conjunction with a primer, setting powder, and setting spray, traditional makeup can last just as long as airbrush makeup.

Airbrush makeup may last much longer than traditional makeup (and may be able to withstand sweat and tears much better) if you’re using a silicone-based foundation. If you’re using a silicone-based airbrush foundation, it’ll be much more water resistant than traditional makeup and will help you brave it through all those hugs and kisses without compromising your flawless Greek goddess look!​

The short answer is no. Airbrush makeup is light and provides a blanket-like finish, unlike traditional makeup which provides fuller coverage. Traditional makeup foundations come available in a range of formulations, some of them focusing on hiding blemishes and eliminating the look of imperfections on the skin.

If you’re keen on the idea of using airbrush makeup for your big day, keep in mind that it won’t give you the same glowing finish that traditional makeup will, and it won’t hide all of those imperfections.

Alright, let’s talk price. Which one do you think is more expensive?

When I first thought about this question I thought that traditional makeup would be more expensive. I know how much my normal beauty regime costs, and it does add up.

The reality is that airbrush makeup is much more expensive than traditional makeup. So for a brides who want a tear & sweat proof application 

airbrush is the way to go
