What is included in 'Entourage Beauty Services'?
Any bridal entourage beauty services will be performed by a Triplow Beauty Co. senior artist.
For makeup, services include: traditional foundation application and custom faux lashes. For hair, services include your choice of the following: blow-out, half up-do, up-do or curls.
Do you airbrush? And what is the difference between airbrush and traditional application?
Yes, and I really do love it. Essentially airbrush and traditional makeup is a way of application. Airbrush makeup typically using an air compressor to push foundation through the airbrush gun. Traditional makeup uses a variety of formulas from cream, to liquid to gel. In both cases, the application can be very sheer or build up to fuller coverage.
