Airbrushed bridal makeup....

Brides are always asking for suggestions for their wedding day makeup.  One suggestion I like to make is they have their makeup applied by an airbrush cosmetician.  On the Outer Banks, you will find one such artist at Reneu MedspaAirbrushed makeup is incredible in many ways and a personal favorite of mine.  First, it resists rubbing off, even in the most humid weather, for up to 12 hours.  Great news if your wedding is in the summer.  Second, it goes on with a light touch, blending into one's natural skin tones.  Third, the application process in itself is really relaxing and more of a pampering session.  The following are some before and after images.

On the retouched image, I applied some skin softener to reduce the lines.....

Wow! Amazing. I never thought about air brushing before. I live in Florida and boy I need it for myself when I am shooting. As soon as I take a shot and look at my LCD screen I have to wipe away all my makeup so I can see the picture! I love your retouching too...very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Woah, it blows my mind what a makeup can do these days with the whole "airbrush era". Their skin all looks so flawless!
