I am Cathryn Kerwin-Rawlinson a Bridal Makeup Artist of 16 years based on the North Wales side of Chester so I mostly cover Cheshire and North Wales. I am a specialist in Airbrush Makeup which is a unique style of makeup application which is perfect for your wedding day as the makeup lasts all day without the need for constant touch-ups as heatproof and waterproof and it looks amazing on photographs, so the perfect option for your wedding day.
Flawless Finish: Airbrush makeup is well known for providing a smooth and even coverage, that beautifully blurs the skin. Its light-weight texture allows the skin to breathe while still offering full coverage, creating a flawless and seamless complexion that looks stunning in photos.
Longevity: Traditional makeup can easily smudge or fade throughout the day, often requiring touch-ups during the day. In contrast, airbrush makeup is highly resistant to sweat, tears, and smudging, maintaining a perfect finish for many hours without the need for touch-ups. The brand that I use is called Airbase as it has silicone as an ingredient which is known in high-end makeup to be heatproof and waterproof and has a luxury feel and look.
Natural Appearance: From a photographer's perspective, capturing the true essence and natural beauty of the subject is crucial. Despite its excellent coverage, airbrush makeup gives a more natural appearance compared to traditional makeup, as it lightly sits on the surface of the skin instead of clogging the pores.
High-definition Friendly: As technology advances, photography has seen the evolution of high-definition and ultra-high-definition mediums. Airbrush makeup is an ideal companion for these formats, as its precision application creates a smooth, soft-focus finish that prevents the skin texture from appearing cakey or overly made up in high-definition photos.
Reduces Retouching: With airbrush makeup's ability to cover skin flaws, uneven skin tone and blemishes without looking heavy, the need for post-processing and photo retouching can be significantly reduced. This not only saves the photographer valuable time in post-production but also keeps the photographs looking authentic and true-to-life.
Versatility: Airbrush makeup can be customised to match any skin tone, ensuring that everyone can benefit from its use. Additionally, it's versatile enough to be used for different effects like contouring, highlighting or creating a more dramatic or subdued look. From both the photographers' and clients' perspectives, airbrush makeup certainly presents significant benefits that traditional makeup can't offer. The ability to create a long-lasting, flawless and natural look, while reducing retouching time, makes airbrush makeup a valuable asset in any photographic situation and because weddings are being photographed all day, you can see why it is the perfect choice for many brides to be and why I get so many great comments of feedback from my past brides.
