Why Airbrush is so in?


TEMPTU AIRBRUSH MACHINE
Long before the days of Hi-Definition anything, airbrushing was a secret technique saved for a lucky few. The first airbrush gun was created in 1876 but they usually used the spray technology on automotive, decorating and film industries for over 100 years.

Over the past 20 years that camera technology has improved leaps and bounds, HD's pixel perfect tech is almost too real on screen and regular makeup has had a tough time keeping up with incredibly high-resolution displays. "It's not only professional photographers that take high-quality pictures now, it's your friends putting photos on facebook', says Temptu lead global artist Cory Bishop.

A bride's big day is one of the most important beauty moment in her life and no surprise that airbrush makeup has migrated to the wedding industry. Since they have three main formulas. Silicone-based, Water-based, and Alcohol based. Airbrush lasts up to 18 hours, won't melt in extreme heat, and has a flawless finish.





You can see the different on the picture above. Airbrush is ideal for creating a natural looking.

What i'm using is the water-based formulas. The water based formulas usually have a matte finish, and it's easy to build up full coverage. Sometimes it can dry out your complexion too ! I prefer this formula for work under bright lights where you can't have shine. It's even used on television show.



And this airbrush is great for covering tattoo too.  Look how much coverage it gives !

That's why airbrush makeup usually has higher price tag than the traditional makeup. So if you are ready for matrimonial makeup and even flawless coverage, feel free to find an artist that can do it for you.

The Truth Behind Cleaning Makeup




Cleaning all of your products after every use is essential, especially those that area near mouth and eyes. Ever wondered why your skin is breaking out? Dirty products can cause blemishes, conjunctivitis and even cold sores!

Mascara, eye liner and eye shadow can all transfer disease such as conjunctivitis and lip gloss and lipstick can carry around all food remnants. Make sure you wash your hands everytime you are applying foundation because they are carrying bacteria like crazy!

And don't forget, we have to clean brushes everytime after use. For smaller brushes you can use brush cleanser, and for bigger brushes like shading and foundation brushes, they generally need more thorough cleaning. So i prefer using olive oil mixed with baby shampoo for better cleaning performance.

So from now on don't forget this IMPORTANT routine !

Eye Bag Camouflage




We have the thinnest skin around our eyes, so it's the area that's most influenced by the in-and-out flow of fluids. A dinner heavy with salty food or a night of crying while watching a tearjerker movie can also cause morning-after puffiness. But we can do some tricks with makeup so that people won't see anything.

MAKE UP FOREVER PENCIL CONCEALER
The darker shade goes along with most of skin tone, but you can also use the lighter one to reduce the appearance of the bag itslef. You can cover the colour with the darker shade, and use the lighter
 one to hiding the bag.

MAKE UP FOREVER CAMOUFLAGE PALLETTE CONCEALER NO 1

For heavier makeup, you can double up the routine with compact concealer. Usually people have blue/purple circle under their eyes. Just like blue violet is opposite orange yellow on the color wheel, light orange color works really great for neutralizing these blue/ purple circle. You can mix the number 4 (from the left) concealer above, mix with 1-3 ( match with your skin colour), and get the perfect colour to put on your skin. Neutralize your skin tone and covering the blemishes are the best way for getting flawless makeup.

Good luck !
