So we get A LOT of inquiries weekly for booking us potentially for hair and makeup services, we are blessed....
But One of the Main Questions that We Ask You is:
"Do you want Airbrush or Traditional Makeup Application?"
The Question in Return:
"I am not sure, I really don't know what the difference is?"
Here is the Carpe Diem Bride Perspective, Why should you pay $50 more for airbrush makeup application? Why should you save $50 and get traditional application? Well lets weigh out the variables!
Let's Talk Traditional First:
In traditional application, makeup artists apply everything the traditional way, hence the word - "traditional"; applied with mainly brushes, sometimes sponges and fingers. Some makeup artists truly prefer to apply makeup this way because it is forgiving, easy to touch up, and makeup artists, like any artist love to work with their hands, like in painting on canvas for instance. The artists at Carpe Diem Bride do use water-resistant makeup, so rest assure, if you decide to go the traditional way and you do tend to cry on Wedding Day as some do, your makeup will be in place and should remain with freshness up to 6 hours! (Well, let's be honest unless you shower yourself in uncontrollable tears or happen to get rained on it in a massive rain storm IT may smudge a bit...common sense should be used when referring to ANY makeup application and it's uphold...ha) Needless to say, there is nothing wrong with booking traditional application, if you book a great makeup artist that is! OK! Moving on..
Let's Talk Airbrush:
In applying airbrush, it is used with an airbrush machine which pushes out the makeup lightly misting the face with foundation. Airbrush covers pores very evenly, provides full coverage, and when we say it stays - IT STAYS! Our Airbrush Products will not come off until you wash it off. It provides a very light wear, and it has a great HD finish which is fantastic for photos and digital photography! (your photographers love it too because it will cut their post-production time and edits in half) This is great if you have any skin imperfections, sun damage, or acne...it provides you with a nice even finish. Some brides think the whole process, eyes, lips, cheeks and face is all done by airbrush. Yes, it can all be applied that way BUT We do the eyes/lips the ol' traditional way, although it's great to have a machine to push makeup on, there is nothing better than to do eyes with brushes...this is the only way to get variety in color for outstanding eyes! But, airbrush is applied for foundation, contouring, highlighting, and blush! Our products are water-resistant as well, so hey criers, don't won't worry...we make sure you are taken care of and you look fresh and gorgeous ALL DAY/NIGHT LONG! Above all, airbrush does sort of provide this experience of getting something different and special, which I think this is why it is popular amongst our brides, it's their day, and they want a luxury experience!
So should you book the airbrush or just keep it traditional? We leave this up to our brides, we do not sway you into one thing or the other although we do try to give you the best advice in our Trial Run/Consultations that we can. We are very honest, but only you know what you can do, would like to do and what you can afford to do. Either choices are great, we will give you a great experience and fabulous makeup either way you go. We just want to offer you choices in your packaging, and to give you options!
I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to contact us with any further question you may have, we are here to help, and we are here to give you the best experience you can have on your Big Day! When booking us, you should know you don't have to worry about nothing but relaxing and enjoying getting beautified!
