What is Airbrush make-up?

Airbrush make-up is the most advance type of make-up. Airbrush makeup sits on the surface of the skin, allowing the skin to breathe. It does not clog the skin’s pores the way traditional makeup does. Many people with skin problems find their problems start to disappear when they switch to airbrush makeup. Airbrush make-up is very long-lasting. With the High Definition Television and Mega pixels camera, those types of cameras seem to pick up the make-up.

What types of make-up do you use in your kits? What foundation do you use?

Every cosmetic brand has great product. We carry many types of brands in our makeup kit.  We do have some favorite brands and products but we do not stick to just one brand.   All products are thoroughly tested and put to the test to determine whether it does what it claims. We also take a lot of time and effort to test durability.and longevity.   A few brands we carry   in our kits are   Smashbox, NARS, KETT, Make-up Forever, Cargo, Dior, Shiseido, MAC, L'Oreal, Maybelline and many other brands.

Why do you suggest Trials for weddings?

Time management is very imperative in such cases like weddings. This is when a Trial is important because the Artist needs to know how your skin reacts to the various products we carry in our kits.    

It's also good to try/test some of the products on your skin to ensure that the products being used will not be irritating or sensitive to your skin.   Sometimes our best product may not be suitable to you so we will need to find an alternative. We also want to assure our client   has achieve the desired look   for the event. We try at least 2 looks during a trial which lasts approx 1.5-2 hours.

What happens if I don't choose to have a trial?

Sometimes it can be complicated replicating a makeup from picture becuae everyone has different skin tones and structures. The look may not be as complimentary as it is in the picture. Sometimes we end up spending more time trying to figure out the right look ( hence why a trial takes approx. 1.5-2 hours - day of wedding it only takes approx. 45 mins) and at the end the client may not be satified.

What if I don't know what kind of look I want?

It is recommended that you bring or e-mail pictures of the make-up and hair you would like to achieve. We can go through and discuss the look since we have an idea. We also encourage you to bring 1-2 people that know you best to offer any opinions.

Are your Tools and Make-up   CLEAN?

Hygiene is a MUST! All Artists arrive on location with clean/sanitized tools and brushes. All tools and brushes used in between clients will either be a new one or it will be sanitized at the immediate spot. All of our make-up are never cross contaminated and never double dipped, with the exception with powders. All creams will be scooped out with a sanitized tool and used from there to ensure sanitary.

Extra Help? Assistants?

If you have a large bridal party please expect extra Make-up Artists, Hair Stylists and Assistants. All extra Artists and Assistances have been fully trained to follow all standard requirements of the correct applications and hygiene.  The Artist(s) assigned to you will always be assigned to you unless stated otherwise.
