Traditional vs Airbrush Makeup & Recommendations

sungdss21

I'm trying to find a makeup artist with reasonable prices and good service but I'm struggling with how to pick one based on pictures that may be touched up  Also without actually meeting them.  I'm hoping to go on two trials and make a decision so I have something to compare but I don't know much about airbrush and if that is a better way to go.  Any suggestions or info on the difference in makeup applications???  Thanks!

Airbrush make up is high definition make up. It works much like a spray tan in my opinion. It (the nozzel machine) applies an ultra thin layer of foundation evenly over your face blending in with your pores and other imperfections. I was a prime canidate for this as I have some uneven skin tone due to acne and I also have oily skin, which means traditional (liquid, powder, ect.) does not have lasting power. I would definitely need to touch up my make up if I used either liquid or mineral. Also, as a woman of color, I found a foundation match was difficult to find going the traditional route but airbrush make up was a 90% match! The best part was my make up stayed on all day despite the humidity and rain. If you don't wear much make up like me and you want the full coverage but natural look, airbrush acheives this look easily yet you don't feel like you have a face full of make up.  Airbrush make up is only for the face foundation. The make up artist does use regular make up  and tools to apply lip stick and mascara.

Traditional make up is just regular liquid, mineral or powder. The only difference I see is that a professional is applying the make up using high quality products and industry tips/tricks to acheive the look. There is definitely more blending involved with contouring the face with brushes and using precise amount of products for application through trial and error.
