1. What is HD Makeup?

HD makeup stands for high definition makeup and does exactly like it sounds. It is well known for its light diffusing property. This property makes this makeup look like the perfect choice for everyone who wants to get themselves clicked by high quality cameras, which is basically every wedding/shoot.

HD makeup makes a person stand out with flawless skin and get oneself captured with the best features! The products used to make HD makeup products are what make this technique stand out. They are high end products that are coated with light diffusing coatings that help to blur the light when it reflects back, which therefore helps with the smooth, blemish free, natural look. It is done the traditional way, i.e. with different types of brushes and sponges.

It is the makeup every bride/celeb dreams of having as it appears almost invisible, blending into the skin very well, feels featherlight in weight and most importantly, conceals the imperfections well and blends well with the skin.

2. What is Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush makeup is makeup applied with an air gun.

A liquid foundation (specifically made for the air gun) is poured into a small chamber on the air gun, the trigger is then pressed in order to blend it and then sprayed on the client's face. It is a mist of millions of droplets of product that comes out of the chamber and onto the client's face to give a flawless finish. This technique can be used for foundation, blush, eyeshadow, lipcolour, etc.
