CEO of Face Forward Sharon Wint-Levy explained how important it is to airbrush your make-up on your special day.
“Airbrushing is a technique that we recommend to all our brides. We believe that bridal make-up should be timeless and it should not be just a regular application. It needs to be something different,”she said.
The major benefit of airbrush make-up is its longevity.
“It will last all day until you are ready to take it off,” explained Levy, who described the application as light and not cakey.
“The pixels are very small and require little or no touch up. Photographers love airbrush because they won’t have much retouching to do,” she laughed.
With tears of joy and screams of excitement, the 2019 Bliss Trunk Show was the perfect occasion to find the perfect dress and say ‘yes’.
