The Foundation Dilemma

Filed under: blog — Tags: Bridal, Foundation, Makeup — Jacqueline @ 3:46 pm

The Foundation Dilemma – Liquid, Mineral or Airbrush, which is right for your wedding day?

A question that we are often asked is why we use liquid foundation. The reason that we use liquid foundation instead of air brush or mineral makeup is because it can be set with powder so that it will last all day.

We love the look of airbrush makeup but the beauty of it is the clean look that one or two passes make.  The down side is that it will not last all day if it is not set with powder.  If it is set with powder you defeat the purpose of the airbrush and might as well have used liquid.  Also multiple passes hold up the best but look very think, also defeating the purpose of using airbrush.

We like mineral foundation… for an hour or two.  After that it settles in the creases of the face and becomes shiny.

We use a liquid foundation that can be blended to get the perfect color match for your skin. Depending on what is right for your skin, we can achieve a sheer coverage or we can get a full coverage with it.  We use a triple milled powder that is sort of like a powdered sugar consistency.  Our liquid foundation and powder leave a beautiful soft finish that doesn’t cake or settle in the creases of the skin, photographs well, and will last all day!

    Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile
