A Rural Wedding

A wonderful part of my job as a wedding makeup artist is travelling to some fabulous locations to help brides prepare for their special day and do their makeup.

On this occasion, my lovely bride, Marianna (from Melbourne), had her wedding day in dreamy Maleny in the hinterlands of the Sunshine Coast.  The mist rolling over the hills on the morning of the wedding while I was getting the girls ready made for a serene, relaxing time. I distinctly remember the crispness to the air on the morning of the wedding and it cleared to the most magnificent day imaginable.

Rural weddings can be such a great alternative and allows family and guests to spend time just "being" as a family, together.

Have a look at Marianna's wonderful, special day.....

Airbrush Makeup

There are many different kinds of makeup and many different ways to apply them.  There are liquids, creams, mousses and mineral powders.  But there is one kind of makeup, applied with an aircompressor and gun that is just a little bit special..... 
It is Airbrush makeup.   Airbrush makeup has become increasingly more popular  because it can give a flawless coverage without feeling like you are wearing a lot of makeup.  It is a foundation which is quite a fluid consistency and the flawless coverage is achieved by spraying light, even layers of foundation which can be built up to the desired level.  For people that don't wear a lot of makeup, a light coverage can be achieved to give a soft glow to the face.  For those who like a full coverage, this is easily achieved without being thick, heavy and "caked" on.  Spraying microdots of makeup that rests on the surface of the skin looks more natural because it isn't rubbed into the skin and doesn’t exaggerate the pores. This process allows Airbrush makeup to conceal better while enabling your skin to breathe. The true advantage of airbrush makeup is the beautiful finished result it produces. Because it is sprayed on, there are no brush strokes.  If you think of a wall that has been painted with a brush compared to one that has been sprayed the result is more smooth.  The same goes for airbrush makeup.
