Unlike the traditional methods of makeup, Airbrushing uses a sprayer to spread the foundation on your face instead of sponges, brushes or fingers to give you a much cleaner and natural final look. The device is created with a compressor that provides a medical-grade tube and nozzle with smooth and controlled airflow.

“So in simple words, Airbrushing is done by using the powers of compressed air and mist foundation gently across your skin using special foundation cartridges that fit into a corresponding airbrushing device.”

Other than bridal makeup, airbrush makeup is often spotted on celebrities while they walk down the red carpet. A small pen-like applicator is used to spray the foundation evenly.

Cons of Air Brush Makeup

While Airbrush makeup has a lot of pros making this technique of makeup popular among women of this generation especially among the brides-to-be, it is important to know that airbrush makeup is not for all. Following are the reasons why sticking to traditional ways of makeup is better than choose airbrush one. 

1. Airbrush Makeup Can Be Flaky on Dry Skin

We love how natural, smooth and hydrated an airbrush makeup done face looks. However, if you happen to be on the drier skin side, airbrush makeup might not be the right choice for you. On dry skin, this type of makeup begins to flake much easily. Makeup artists explain that since airbrush makeup is waterproof, it is not as creamy as a traditional foundation. Hence, making it not so ideal for dry skin. Having said this, if you can follow proper skincare routines before your wedding day, you can prepare your skin for a gorgeous airbrush makeup look.

2. Re-blending can be a Task in case of Airbrush Makeup

With so many emotions in your head, it is quite easy for you to get overwhelmed and shade a tear or two. However, make sure that you do not tear up during your airbrush makeup session before it completely dries. Your makeup artist is going to have a difficult time filling any breakup in your makeup, even with a traditional foundation. However, once the base has dried completely, this shouldn’t be a problem.

3. You Might Have a Hard Time Finding Your Perfect Shade

This is one of the major drawbacks of this type of makeup service. The foundation formula found in Airbrush makeup is very different from your day-to-day foundation. With a lot fewer shades and brands available in the market, the chances of you finding a shade that matches your skin are greater in case of traditional foundation. 

4. Lastly, Airbrush Makeup is Expensive When Compared to Traditional Makeup

No big surprises here, airbrush makeup is not very budget-friendly. Traditional methods of applying makeup are going to be easier on your pockets. While, we believe airbrush makeup is worth the hype, you can choose to enquire about it during your makeup trial and decide if it’s worth the price or not.

Why Do You Need Airbrush Makeup?

More and more women are choosing airbrush makeup over a traditional one, in recent times. Your preference, needs and goals decide whether you should be getting airbrush makeup done on your wedding, we, however, would like to suggest airbrush makeup on your wedding day of you are looking to achieve any of the following goals.

  • If you do want to leave your wedding venue every few hours to touch up your makeup.
  • If you want a smooth, flawless, natural and glowing makeup look in the day of your wedding.
  • If you do not like layers of makeup on your face and want to keep your makeup lightweight.
  • Want an HD makeup look that looks good in photos.
  • If you want a more hygienic method of makeup, for it’s done directly via machines.
  • If you want a foundation that doesn’t sink in but rather stays on top.

Which Types of Skin is Suitable for Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush makeup technique is a blessing in disguise for all skins types, alike expect the dry and flaky type. The alcohol found in this type of foundation dries your skin all day, making it ideal for normal, combination and oily skin types. Women with dry skin are often advised to stay away from the airbrush makeup. However, proper skin care can prepare your even your dry skin to carry airbrush makeup. The layers of these types of makeup are too thin to cover dark circle, so you must use traditional makeup products like concealer and even bronzer with airbrush makeup base. 

Cost of Airbrush Makeup

Airbrush makeup, as we mentioned above, is far from being pocket friendly. For an application, booking a session for your wedding day or a photoshoot will cost you around ₹40k. The device is much cheaper to own at home, at about ₹6k to ₹18k. Bear in mind that a little more money would have to be spent on cosmetics. It is on the costly side, However, we think with the benefits that it has to offer, it’s worth a try. Your trial makeup session is a great time to judge if airbrush makeup is working for you and is it worth spending money on!
