I am trained in Airbrush Makeup application and the brand that I use is Airbase. I also work for Airbase on a freelance basis teaching to college students who are studying makeup and beauty. I am a Bridal Makeup Artist who covers the North West and North Wales www.madeupbycathryn.co.uk
The reason I use Airbase Make-up and I love the brand is because, it was designed for HD TV as the requirement for a finer make-up that looks like skin but perfect and the make-up is now used extensively on most of well known TV shows on the BBC or ITV.
However the make-up is also excellent for bridal, and the reason for this is because it is long wearing and requires no touch ups, so for a bride they can be assured that it will last from the moment I apply it, right through the day to the end of the partying at the night celebrations. It is waterproof, so it will withstand the tears from the day and if its a hot day then will stay perfect even if the bride perspires.
So with it being able to withstand all that the day throws at it and it still stays perfect, it also looks amazing on camera and it can be customised to offer whatever coverage the bride requires so if the bride wants a fuller coverage and strong contour or she wants natural and almost a tinted moisturiser type of cover, then it can be done all depending on how I layer it.
Its camera friendly and does not cause flash back from the Photographers flash. Many foundations contain SPF and this product and the Photographers flash do not mix well and when you see a bride with a whiter face than her body, this is because the makeup professional has not took this into consideration and what might look great to the naked eye does not always look that wonderful on the wedding photos. So Airbase does not cause this.
It is amazing for Brides to be with skin issues, because it covers any redness, acne scaring and rosecea like nothing else because it is so super fine and covers in a seamless veil, so if you were to look close you would think it was perfect skin and not cakey makeup that people tend to use on skin issues. The photo of the before and after is my lovely sister Jayne and she suffers from Rosecea and in her teens she had acne so her skin is very red and small pimples without make-up, but with the airbase you can not even tell she has it and the photo of the after is not filtered or altered in any way.
Airbase Makeup also covers tattoos, as tattoos are very trendy and very current, many of my brides have come to me with a tattoo that they love, however on the day they want it removing for whatever issue, the most common being Grandparents who would not approve.
So from reading this blog you can now see why I offer this service to my brides and why it really is the best choice for many of my brides. However there are skin types I do not recommend it for and in my kit I have many other excellent base choices.
