MakeUpMatters brings the latest technique of Airbrushing to your door ! This revolutionary new technique is ideal for brides & the bridal party. Makeup is applied by misting foundation onto the skin to create that natural flawless “photo-perfect” look.

 A custom blended foundation for your skin that creates a powder-free flawless finish that lasts upto 18hours without the need for retouching. Airbrushing can be used to apply all aspects of makeup – foundation, blush, eyeliner, eyeshadows, lips & even a lash tint! Its water and rub-resistant formula prevents streaking & smearing, is tear proof and will not come off on your wedding dress. Airbrush makeup is the perfect solution for covering blemishes, tattoos, skin pigmentation challenges, post surgery appearances & scarring. It’s no wonder then, that Airbrushing has become the no1 make-up choice with the industry’s leading make-up artists worldwide and can be found gracing the faces of supermodels, movie stars and famous celebrities. Airbrushing is not just for the Blushing Bride, it's also great for Debs/Graduations, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Nights-Out & Special Occasions.
