We offer both! Traditional makeup refers to the use of liquid, cream, or powdered foundations that are applied with a range of makeup tools including: Fiber brushes, Sponges, and or Foundation brushes. One of the main reasons why so many women still prefer to use traditional makeup is that the available options are much more varied compared to what’s available for airbrush makeup lineup. With traditional makeup there are a plethora of formulations for all types of skin, offering anything from light to full coverage. Airbrush makeup refers to the use of foundation, sprayed onto the skin. Some are silicone based while others are water based. Regardless of their bases, the foundations are much thinner than traditional foundations. The airbrush makeup is applied in thin layers to the skin, which allows for an even, smooth finished look when applied properly. Because the spray is very finely misted, it provides you with a flawless finish that helps even out the skin tone without weighing the skin down.
