Marie is an expert in the application Airbrush foundation. Airbrush makeup is the modern way to achieve a flawless finish. Your complexion will appear clarified and luminous without the look of heavy makeup. For many brides, airbrushing provides the best results because there is no contact with the skin, eliminating streaks or smudges. Since it is also oil-free, the result is a clear, matte-finished look. Airbrush Makeup is hypo-allergenic, water based, water resistant and won’t rub off. It is more sanitary to use than traditional makeup because your hands or sponge never touch the skin thus avoiding cross contamination. Airbrush Makeup can cover a wide range of different skin problems including age spots, freckles, birthmarks and tattoos. It diminishes the appearance of facial lines and scars. Lines of demarcation are a thing of the past with Airbrush Makeup!

During a makeup consultation, Marie will consider the color of the bride’s gown, flowers and accessories as well as her skin tone and her hair and eye color. She will also factor in the time and location of the wedding ceremony and reception. A daytime wedding generally calls for a more naturally elegant look with subtle colors and minimal frosty shadows. While for an evening ceremony a bride often desires more dramatic colors and makeup. Marie utilizes a variety of makeup application techniques to achieve the look that will best fit the bride on her wedding day. As part of the makeup consultation she will provide complimentary before and after digital pictures allowing the bride to see the results as they will appear in her pictures the day of the wedding.

This is the time to put your face in the hands of an experienced professional makeup artist who can help gain a better understanding and knowledge of cosmetics for your specific needs.
