Its been so busy this year with weddings and boudoir sessions here at Jessica Roop Beauty & Boudoir, that I’m just now finding time to write about this beautiful real wedding that was featured in the Spring 2017 Brides of Austin magazine. Its always an honor to have your beauty work featured for publication, though its no surprise Brides of Austin selected this wedding, the bride is GORGEOUS!
For Becky’s wedding beauty look we created a soft half up and half down hairstyle. Leaving hair down around the face helped keep her hairstyle loose and romantic. Twists in the back added texture and detail to complete her hairstyle. For makeup we wanted a natural, but glam look. A light smokey eye with a pop of false lashes gave just the right amount of glam to her bridal beauty look. Keeping her foundation light and airy, we completed her makeup look with airbrush makeup and a natural bridal glow using a highlight to emphasize her beautiful cheekbones.
Becky was a gorgeous and fun bride and we wish her and Douglas all the best!
Wondering what all comes in the bride’s touch up bag?
At Jessica Roop Beauty & Boudoir we like to treat our brides to a little something special for their big day! We know brides have a lot on their “to do” lists leading up to the wedding date, so we want to take a few things off their list. One of those things is a beauty emergency kit. While the majority of your hair and makeup should remain in place throughout the day (thanks to our handiwork), there are always some external variables, such as warm weather and tears, that may disrupt your flawless face. We use every trick in the book to ensure long-lasting hair and makeup, but once we pack up our kits and leave, it’s up to you to make sure your hair and face remain camera-ready all day. Here is a list of what’s included in our bridal touch up kit and what we find key for touching up throughout the day.
During the trial the bride gets to pick her color for either a lipstick or a lip gloss. She also gets to pick what style luxury Icona Lashes she desires. These lashes can be re-used up to 6-8 times with proper care. The $100 off a Boudoir Photography Package is good from the time you book your beauty services until 1 year after your wedding date. This allows you the opportunity to gift your boudoir shoot to your special someone for either a wedding gift or a first anniversary gift.
We hope you enjoy our complimentary bridal touch up kit as much as we do. Contact us today to be one of our exclusive BOMBSHELL brides!
Airbrush makeup is applied using an airbrush gun and air compressor. Unlike traditional makeup, which is applied with a sponge or makeup brush, airbrush makeup is sprayed onto the skin with controllable airflow for an even, flawless coverage.
Does it feel heavy/cakey?
When applied correctly, airbrush makeup feels lightweight and barely there. Most clients comment on how they don’t even feel it, but the coverage is flawless. If you’re not used to wearing foundation, and want a natural feel, this is the perfect option for you.
What are the different types of airbrush formulas?
There are many brands and types of foundation out there. My personal favorite is Temptu professional. Airbrush foundation consists of three different types of formulas for different skin types and coverage.
Silicone Based: Temptu S/B is my favorite formula and what I use on all my clients!This is a silicone based airbrush foundation and is best at mimicking the skin’s natural texture. With its lightweight and natural feel, it gives a slight blurring effect with a radiant finish and youthful glow for all skin types. Coverage is lightweight and can be layered easily to give more coverage where it is needed. It is a great universal formula in the sense that it can easily be manipulated to give a dewy finish for dry skin types, or be used with a setting powder for a mattified look for oilier skin types.
Water Based: A water based airbrush foundation gives more of a matte finish. This formula is geared more for extra oily skin and everyday wear. The coverage is more opaque and has a dry finish. It is not my favorite of the formulas and I will tell you why: after lots of testing on myself and clients, I have found that the water based airbrush tends to crack over time and left streaks where water or tears fell. The streaking/cracking effect makes it hard to touch up later, too.
Alcohol Based: An alcohol based airbrush foundation is perfect for tattoo coverage! It’s a waterproof coverage that can last days if taken care of properly. This formula is highly pigmented, which paired with the right corrector can give the best coverage for tattoos of all sizes. Because this formula is water proof, you don’t need to worry about it rubbing off on your white wedding dress.
Does it last all day?
The best benefit to airbrush makeup is by far its durability and longevity. The Temptu formula I use definitely holds up the best in hot, humid weather, rain, snow, tears, and sweat. Since the majority of my work is done here in Austin, TX, it’s a no brainer why I love to use airbrush for weddings and photoshoots.
Is airbrush makeup the best option for everyone?
The answer is NO, it is not the best option for all skin types. If someone has a lot of texture to the skin, maybe from acne, scarring, or more mature skin, I find regular foundation to be a better option. Regular foundation can be worked into the skin, which helps fill in uneven skin. Airbrush makeup sits more on top of the skin, as an outer layer. Both can have long lasting effects when applied properly.
Why do I prefer airbrush makeup for brides?
With the new technology in HD photography and videography, I really feel it photographs amazing, has the best longevity, and gives the best natural flawless feel. It’s also universal for all skin types, with an array of colors, making it easy to match every skin tone and type. The regular foundation I use can give the same effect, but for brides I prefer airbrush makeup for its serious lasting power.
