Airbrush make up

[M00min]

Hi geeks

I was wondering about your experiences with airbrush make-up: which brands do you recommend and how you find it rates against "normal" make-up for weddings etc.

Are brides clued up on it, or are they initially a little wary of having their make-up sprayed on? When you work in this industry I find it's sometimes easy to forget what's "normal" for us compared to what's "normal" for clients!

Thanks for any input

Thanks Spoilt - your photos are fab! Do you do hair styling too? I'm starting to find that I'd get more work with photographers if I also did hair so I've booked on a styling course for July. I'm looking forward to it and have dabbled a bit, but right now the thought of doing a bride's hair on her big day fills me with dread! x

i did a day training on hair ups with sallys!!! ermm i know how to do a back comb and barell roll and a messy bun..... but to tell the truth. brides,,, i talk out of having a full updo unless i know they look stunning..... im not confident. the photos on here we have a hairdresser come in lol.. ive watched and learnt bits... much better than the course. id sugest
going into a local salon and asking if there head putter upper would come to you and ask her if she take £50 for a few hrs!!! 1 to 1 xx thats my next step:idea: xx also have a look on PAM , Makeup artists provisions discount to mua on some products. xx:lol: they have travel size in kett which is fab and just need about 7 drops for a full face xx Elisa

Well you've inspired me! I was checking out Airbase and saw they have a training course in London this Saturday and I've just booked on! V excited.

Do they give you access to logos/marketing material etc to help you promote the service? My website's being built at the mo and I'll want to push it! Also do they give you advice re pricing, as I'm assuming an airbrush make-up service would be priced higher than traditional? x

i charge £45 for a makeover £65 for bride with trial...£12 for the base before a night out .. it just gives you an edge to everyone else, after the outlay. its cheaper than regular foundation also check ebay sometimes dinair and temtu sample size are sold... even the tester size lasts ages and just use different colour drops to mix the perfect match x PS ..... I AM IN THE NORTH EAST ENGLAND THO LOL. PRICES DIFFER LOADS

Hi I have just invested in the airbase kit and the training after reading all your threads, I think you are the best person to ask if you don't mind before my training in October. I havent actually opened the kit yet. But I would like to have a dable before the training:-

What power level do I have the compressor on when I am spraying? and how far away from my clients face? Also how do I know if my clients can't the silicone in the foundation, lastly any tips, that helped you on your way.

Hope you can help,

Dawn
