Last year I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in my friend Laurie’s wedding. We were given the option of having airbrush makeup and/or our hair done the day of the wedding, and of course we all chose to let the professionals make us over for the day (and actually those two items became part of our bridal party gifts, which I thought was totally awesome as I’m all about practical gift-giving). In the end, we all had some gorgeous hair and makeup, but it wasn’t airbrush makeup as I had thought.
So you can imagine that I was totally stoked (wow, haven’t used that word in ages) when Beth told me we were going to have an airbrush makeup session with the fabulous Christina Kazadzis of Touch of Color. Christina recently relocated here from California and I’m glad we have her here in Atlanta.
For anyone out there thinking of airbrush makeup…it’s totally worth it. I’m not blessed with good skin, but Christina knew what she was doing and managed to cover up all of my imperfections. I’m also not a very girly girl…I like to wear jeans, t-shirts and comfy sneakers. I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup, and I hate having that heavy, cakey feeling on my face. Airbrush makeup is my new friend though, my skin looked good and I didn’t feel like I was wearing a lot of makeup. The one word I have to sum up the experience: fantabulous.
Afterwards, Beth and I had our own photo session around the new outdoor studio space. I’m not quite done going through those images yet, as it’s been a very hectic day here, so stay tuned for more!
