Airbrush vs Traditional

1. Application Technique

Traditional Makeup: Applied using brushes, sponges, or fingers. This allows for precise control and blending.
Airbrush Makeup: Applied with an airbrush gun that sprays a fine mist of foundation and other products onto the skin. This provides a very even, lightweight coverage.

2. Finish

Traditional Makeup: Can vary from matte to dewy, depending on the product. It’s versatile and can be layered for more or less coverage.
Airbrush Makeup: Typically gives a smooth, flawless, almost “filtered” look with a slightly dewy finish. It's often used for a more natural, skin-like effect.

3. Coverage

Traditional Makeup: Coverage can be customized from sheer to full. It can be built up to cover blemishes or left light for a more natural look.
Airbrush Makeup: Usually offers medium coverage that can be built up, but it doesn’t always cover heavy blemishes as well as traditional makeup.

4. Longevity

Traditional Makeup: Can last a long time but might need touch-ups throughout the day, especially in humid or hot weather.
Airbrush Makeup: Known for its long-lasting properties and is often water-resistant. It tends to hold up well for special events like weddings where you need makeup to last all day.

5. Feel on the Skin

Traditional Makeup: Depending on the type and amount used, it can feel a bit heavier, especially with fuller coverage.
Airbrush Makeup: Feels very light on the skin because it’s applied in a fine mist. Clients often feel like they’re not wearing any makeup.

6. Best Uses

Traditional Makeup: Great for everyday wear, or for clients who want a specific look and don’t mind touch-ups. It’s also ideal for those with very dry or textured skin, as it can be more hydrating.
Airbrush Makeup: Perfect for special events, especially where photos will be taken, as it creates a flawless finish under camera lights. It’s also good for clients with normal to oily skin.
Longevity: Traditional foundation can be long-lasting but may need setting with powder or touch-ups, especially for very long events.
Ideal for Skin Types Suitable for all skin types, with options specifically formulated for oily, dry, or sensitive skin.
