Airbrush Or Not To Airbrush, That Is The Question

Is airbrush makeup really better for bridal makeup? Many of our brides still ask us, what is airbrush makeup? Each type of makeup and application method has its advantages, so we like to make our recommendations to our clients based on their skin type, condition, and sometimes even the weather if it is an indoor or outdoor event.

MAC Airbrush Foundations

Airbrush and traditional makeup each have pros and cons. Airbrush makeup is a light- weight, thin but highly pigmented consistency liquid makeup that is applied by a makeup artist through an airbrush gun that sprays a fine mist of makeup powered by a compressor, sprayed in circular motions and can be layered for desired level of coverage. The fine particles of makeup set onto the skin’s surface and the foundation has a flawless effect on ideal, normal skin and it is the most HD (High-def makeup currently available). Style Hair and Makeup’s airbrush makeup of choice is the Pro Performance HD Airbrush Makeup by M.A.C. which is a silicone-based formula for face and body coverage developed for HD media. It is ideal for HD TV, film, and beauty with a wide variety of color options so we can mix and match shades to customize to all of our clients skin tones. Airbrush makeup is ideal for clients with sensitive skin since it is hypoallergenic, oil free, fragrance free, dermatologist tested, non-acnegenic, and even ophthalmologist tested. Airbrush makeup ideal for clients who are not used to wearing a lot of makeup because it has a light weight feel with a natural finish and for wedding days because it is sweat and water resistant and transfer resistant while photographing very nicely. While airbrush makeup evens out skin tone, it does not correct texture imperfections such as large pores, acne, dry skin or scarring. It sits on top of the skin and does not hide problem areas where uneven texture is an issue. If a client has facial hair, the airbrush attaches to the hair and makes it look more visible. Other skincare products need to be used to blur and correct skin texture imperfections and fill in minor lines and smooth skin.

MAC Foundations

Traditional makeup is the other method used to even out skin tone. Traditional makeup Style Hair and Makeup uses for multimedia is most often a liquid foundation set with a powder. The preferred foundation is based on each client’s needs, but for durability, the first choice is Pro Longwear by M.A.C. which has a light weight feel, medium coverage, matte finish, oil control, and 15 hours of wear in any environmental conditions. The Pro Longwear Foundation is also oil free, helps to control oil, is transfer resistant, sweat and humidity resistant and also photographs beautifully. It is ideal for all skin types and is also dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested and is well loved by all of our clients who have tried it. Traditional makeup is ideal for clients who need or prefer a heavier coverage or have some facial hair and minor skin texture imperfections that need to be corrected.

As a Tampa Bay area makeup artist team, we do recommend and use airbrush for clients because not only does it work well with so many skin types, it withstands the humidity of our harsh summers, looks great in multi media, but it’s also a luxury service that most ladies cannot apply themselves. As a Tampa Bay makeup artist team, Lo and Anna custom blend airbrush makeup to match any skin tone to create a seamless, flawless complexion that is long wearing, sweat, and tear proof, for up to 14 hours. With airbrush makeup, there is no need for touch up, and the effect is an even, velvety complexion and texture that feels weightless on the skin, so brides don’t feel that they are even wearing makeup. The ultimate goal is to enhance every client’s natural beauty, and use the right products to meet their needs for a flawless, long- lasting, photo ready look they will love!

The Best Season For Tampa Bay Weddings

Beach Wedding Picture

Florida is a sought after tropical destination full of gorgeous white sandy beaches, unique wedding venues, and endless possibilities for outdoor celebrations. One would think that Florida is amazing all year round, with an endless wedding season, but there are actually seasons that are better than others here in The Sunshine State.

Bride and Groom Kissing

The Spring and Fall are the most popular for our local Florida brides and is considered our peak season. A huge factor is the temperatures stay in the comfortable 70s and there is relatively low humidity so brides enjoy endless hours of pictures outside with their bridal party with minimal sweating and their guests enjoy celebrating with them and enjoying the gorgeous outdoor weather. Beach weddings are among the most popular since the views and setting are so ideal and breathtaking, but rustic themed barn and countryside weddings are very popular as well because Florida offers so many unique location possibilities. For the Spring months, March and April are the most popular and for the Fall months, October and November are favorites. This year, October 10, 2015 seems to be most requested.

Airbrush Wedding Makeup

A trend we have noticed is that out of state brides will come down for a destination wedding during the summer, starting in June throughout the summer, into August. We suspect that perhaps they have no idea how extremely hot and humid Florida can really get. Summer can get pretty sweltering and unbearable (thank goodness for long lasting makeup tricks and updos), but it is also during Hurricane Season, which starts in June and lasts through November.  Because of these extreme weather conditions and frequent afternoon showers, the summer is the least busy wedding season here in Florida. For a little peace of mind, brides can purchase wedding insurance to protect their large investment into their wedding day in case of a Hurricane followed by travel insurance for their honeymoon in case they are headed somewhere tropical where the severe weather threat can be a big issue.

Don’t think a winter wonderland cannot happen in Florida! We have sparkling white sand beaches and perfect weather in the 60s and 70s most of the time in our winter so brides and guests near and far can enjoy crisp awesome weather and a break from shoveling snow up North. Even the months of December through February are gorgeous down here and, since it is not peak season, brides can usually have a better chance of picking their first choice of wedding date or getting a good deal on hotel rates for guests.

Estate Wedding

Getting married in Florida is special; brides can choose to have a casual beach ceremony, get married on a golf course, exchange vows at a romantic country estate, dare to be different at an art gallery, celebrate in a formal country club, enjoy their nuptials at a private estate, find a relaxing getaway at a resort, or even exchange vows underwater while scuba diving. The possibilities are endless and Florida weddings are truly one of a kind, at any time of the year.
