Parties, birthdays and weddings happen throughout Brisbane on a daily basis. They are priceless moments that are often cherished forever in photographs and choosing a makeup artist for these events is an important decision. When you attend, you need your skin to be picture perfect.

There are many ways to achieve beautiful skin. You can eat healthy food, do a daily skincare routine or apply cosmetics to cover up blemishes. Across Brisbane, many women are now hiring mobile makeup artists to do their hair and makeup for special occasions. An important consideration when using a professional makeup artist is the decision between airbrushed or traditional makeup.

Read on to find out more about airbrushed and traditional makeup.

Airbrushed Makeup

Airbrushed makeup is applied as a thin layer of foundation on your face. This foundation could either be silicone-based or water-based, depending on your preference. The foundation passes through an airbrush gun which gives it a thinner texture than a regular foundation.

One advantage of using an airbrush is that it provides full coverage without the dense texture of traditional makeup. Airbrush makeup delivers a lightweight, matte finish that looks good in any lighting. When you hire Anywhere Hair and Makeup, we’ll have an airbrush ready to make you the talk of the town.

Traditional Makeup

Regular makeup like that found in chemists and online comes in a lot of varieties, colours and textures. However, your everyday makeup may not be suitable for events that could last for hours. Without the help of a professional makeup artist with all the right tools, your makeup might not have enough staying power, and you may have to retouch from time to time.

The Differences Between Airbrushed and Traditional Makeup

Anywhere Hair and Makeup offers both styles for you to choose from. Let’s discuss a couple of the differences.

Airbrushed makeup sets faster than traditional makeup

Airbrush sets almost as soon as you apply it because it’s a thin mist. It stays on for an extended period, even when covered by sweat or tears. The downside is that it is slightly more difficult than traditional makeup to remove. Traditional makeup is more flexible as you can wipe it off easier.

Airbrush Makeup is more precise than traditional makeup

Airbrushed makeup gives a more flawless polished finish. It is fantastic for those close up shots as the has micro-pixelation. For example, imagine the difference between a brushed wall to a spray painted wall in comparison perhaps. Your face will look like a work of art by offering heavy coverage without the bulky weight of thick foundation.

Which Maekup will you Choose?

Airbrushed and traditional makeup are the two most popular options for anyone needing long-lasting makeup. Each type has pros and cons and decisions should be based on your individual skin type. Airbrush makeup is better for oily skin as it is drier and covers blemishes slightly better. That said, traditional makeup may be slightly better for dry more mature dry skin.
