When it comes to wedding makeup in the great outdoors lighting is the biggest challenge.  For indoor scenarios your wedding photographer often deals with low-light situations and other restrictions, that being said, you’ll want to plan carefully with your wedding photographer to ensure that your photos are planned around  your surroundings and be wary of that mid day hour when the sun is directly over head. Bright sunshine is totally unforgiving making professional makeup a must for your outdoor wedding. 

The suns bright shining rays reveal every fine detail making the perfect foundation essential.  When working with Makeup In The 702 you don’t have to choose between traditional foundation and airbrushing based on cost.  We don’t charge extra for airbrushing so you can work with your artist to determine what type of foundation is best for you based on your needs not dollars.
