One of the most common statements I hear from brides is that they’ve heard about airbrush makeup but aren’t sure what it is, or why they would choose it over traditional makeup.

Firstly let me explain what the two methods of application really are…

What is Airbrush Makeup?

It is a newer technique in which makeup is applied using an airbrush stylus and air compressor, the chamber of this Airgun is filled with a special liquid foundation which covers the face to give a flawless finish. As the products passing through the instrument (airbrush) is in the form of a very fine mist and therefore it is necessary for the product to be a lot thinner than normal foundations, which will help in achieving more of natural / subtle looking base alongside great coverage. This makes sure that the makeup does not look cakey and fake in the pictures.

What is Hd Makeup?

Traditional makeup is the method of applying foundation with a brush, sponge or even your fingers.  It’s the method makeup artists have been using before airbrush makeup was invented. It refers to products which may be in powder, liquid or cream form. The blending of the product has to be done manually. When traditional makeup is applied, it has a thicker consistency than airbrush, thus making it more visible but again the level of blending shall depend on your makeup artist. It works great in covering blemishes and spots.

Pros and Cons of Airbrush Makeup And HD Makeup

Airbrush makeup is widely popular around the world for brides. Many brides personal preference are of choosing airbrush makeup over traditional HD makeup. The key factor for amazing wedding day makeup is the person behind the service. Make sure your makeup artist has a clear understanding of both makeup applications and the look you are trying to achieve. When applied correctly, airbrush makeup can help you achieve that flawless look you might otherwise not have been able to achieve with traditional makeup, but before booking and getting your makeup done, here are the pros and cons you need to consider:

• In Airbrush makeup most of the products are silicon-based, so the makeup can stay on for a very long duration. It’s a blessing for the brides who have oily skin as airbrush products have mattifying agents. HD makeup on the other side is suitable for all skin type as the fine particles blend perfectly into the skin.
  
• In Airbrush makeup, the foundation used is completely waterproof, sweat, smear and tears-resistant. HD makeup tends to melt with sweat, rub off on your clothes as well as on other people as you greet them, thus ruining the effect. It requires touch-ups and reapplications throughout the day to stay on.
   
• HD foundation creams or liquids, no matter how lightweight, will always be heavier compared to airbrush makeup. As they have to be applied by hand, Hd foundation have a thicker consistency and could lead to a caking effect on your face. However, the foundation used in airbrush makeup is much thinner and lighter.
   
• Airbrush creates a light layer of make up on your skin which will not only make your photos look flawless but also wouldn’t make your face look like a pancake of makeup. HD make up is sheer. It hides your flaws, uneven texture of the skin and other flaws without taking away your natural beauty. You can see the skin through the makeup.
   
• Airbrush makeup is also more expensive as compared to regular HD makeup and in many cases artists may charge double, so look at your budget before making a choice.
