Airbrush makeup worth it?

Adamay, on September 18, 2018 at 02:03 Posted in Beauty 0 12

My cousin who does freelance makeup offered to do my makeup and bridesmaids makeup for free on my wedding day. I was always considering having my makeup airbrushed, especially since my wedding will be in the hot month of August. But my ceremony/reception is all inside, with just a few lawn games outside. So my question is: Should I have my cousin do our makeup using traditional makeup, or should I pay for a makeup professional who does airbrushing? Is it that much of a difference where I should pay full price?

    I'd say that if you have "good" skin (I mean, not too oily or dry), just have your cousin do it. It's free and it's a lovely gesture from her to offer!

    Yeah I was so thankful she offered! I told her that even if she doesn't want anything, that I'd still want to pay her for her services and she said to not worry about it because we're family.

    I'm glad to know that there's not a significant difference with makeup! Thanks for the advice 😊

    Agreed!!!

    I've had airbrushing and regular make up applied. both have lasted the same amount of time without finishing spray. go with the free. that is soooo kind of your cousin to do that. I would just make sure bridesmaids tip her.

    the oil free urban decay setting spray is THE BEST!!!! love love love it!

    I personally recommend the Urban Decay All Nighter makeup spray. I used this for my college graduation and my makeup lasted! Mind you, I graduated in San Diego (Southern California) in the summer. We're talking about high 90f (~35c) temperatures, lol

    I'm leaning towards going with my cousin also. I suggested having a makeup trial the next time she visits and she agreed! So hopefully it'll turn out fine Smiley smile

    That's what I was thinking! My cousin recently did all 6 bridesmaids for her friend's wedding in Maui last month and she said all the makeup was still intact by the end of the night.

    I am basically new when it comes to makeup. I really only do mascara and eyeshadow when i do my own makeup.

    What is the real difference between airbrush and regular makeup. Is it worth it to splurge for air brush. Can you really notice a difference between the 2?

    I would go the free route - if anything have your cousin do some touch ups here and there but seeing as how most people use traditional makeup with no problem I would assume that you will be fine. You could even do a trial with your cousin next summer? See what needs improvement and go from there.

    Honestly it's less about the makeup and more about the setting/finishing sprays! I have had makeup stay while on the beach in Jamaica swimming with a good long lasting makeup and finishing spray! I would take the freebie and maybe buy a good quality spray to use on all of you!
