I had a trial with regular and airbrush. The airbrush almost felt like it was covering my skin too much. My MU artist recommended regular for me since she said I didnt need to much makeup and it would look more natural on my skin. She does MU for shows and she uses it for that but on wedding days she prefers to use regular MU on her clients. I think its a personal preference. My fiance preferred the regular mu to the airbrush so that made my decision for me.

Okay great thank you for the input. I guess I will just compare my two trials then. I just felt like the opinions on airbrush were so biased to loving it that I just wanted to see if there were any opposing opinions out there.

Thank you!

take everyones opinion for what it is but dont go by just what everyone says. Honestly i think there are too many factors to decide which is better. Will depend on your skin tone, also has ALOT to do with make up artists and depends on the person who is giving you their opinion. You can have someone who went and did a regular mu trial and airbrush but just so happens that the regular make up artist was just better at make up period, i think it depends ALOT on who you use whether its regular or airbrush. Maybe the person who preferred the airbrush just had somebody who was more skilled overall so really depends. And theres more to make up than just foundation will depend how they do eyes too and make the whole look. Some make up artists are just not that great. Even before i ever tried airbrush and had just regular make up done professionally, i can say that they were ALL so different almost each time. I had regular make up done that i liked and some that I HATED!!!!! and it was all regular make up, some made me look cakey and put way too much on and used horrible colors on me that didnt go well while others did nice make up that complimented me and didnt look cakey. So i think it comes down alot to who you use, like i said even with same type of make up i had such mixed results. Whether you do airbrush or regular, if somebody applies too much foundation with either type its going to look bad no matter if they applied too much foundation with the airbrush or regular make up.

Good luck

Thank you again, I always appreciate your opinion .

I'm using Oksana for my wedding and I LOVED my trial with her. She really knows what she's doing and my makeup looked AWESOME when she did it.

And as for worrying about coverage - I very rarely break out, but happened to have a pimple when I went for my trial. Let me tell you - Oksana covered my pimple so you couldn't see it at all! And 10 hours later, when I took my make up off, it still was not noticeable at all. I'm very confident in her ability and recommend that you stick with whatever she recommended to you.

Airbrush is very unforgiving. If you have any flaws, they usually become magnified from airbrushing. Traditional makeup allows the artist to camouflage any flaws much easier.

i had airbrush done but m-i-a also used concealer and other things around my eyes, i had a pimple she covered and she even put something on my freckles i think (i have a few freckles across my cheeks and nose only) - after she did all of that she applied the airbrush over it and then after that she applied some blush and bronzer....so she still used other things on my skin - its not just airbrush only....

i prefer airbrush b/c i feel like when i have regular foundation applied it can look uneven, streaky or blotchy - it just always looks weird to me....but with the airbrush its totally even....it also feels pretty light which is nice....

i woul say to try them both if you aren't sure - everyone has different skin and everyone's skin takes make up differently and we all prefer differnet things on our skin - so its probably best to try both - i tried both and that is how i knew i liked the airbrush better.....even DH liked airbrush better one me....
