Airbrush foundation is a special foundation that is highly colorized & pigmented and is sprayed directly onto your skin using an airbrush pen and compressor. When done correctly, this is a beautiful application technique for special events where you need to look flawless. When applied correctly, it looks like a second skin that lasts for hours. Our makeup applications are typically a mix of traditional and airbrush makeup and are customized based upon your skin type.
What is the Difference Between an Airbrush and Traditional Makeup Application?

Yes! Absolutely. We are experts at waterproof tattoo coverage. If you have a tattoo that needs to be covered, please email us a couple of photos of the tattoo you would like to cover and we can quote accordingly. Please note that proper tattoo coverage can take as much time as an entire face, sometimes longer if the area you want to be covered is large. Tattoo coverage starts at $100.

Yes. Friday - Sunday, our minimums for the Indianapolis metro area are 1,250 for Friday - Sunday (5 services per artist) and 450 for Monday - Thursday events. Our minimum for locations 35+ miles away from Blush & Bobby Pins is 1,250 (6 services per artist).
Do You Have a Booking Minimum?

We do not require you to book our team for both hair and makeup services. You can book us for just makeup, just hair, or both. However, we prefer not to work with other vendors performing the same service if at all possible. We want your look to be cohesive and consistent with the rest of your bridal party for photographs.
May I Use Another Hairstylist or Makeup Artist From a Different Company in Addition to Blush & Bobby?

The sooner you know your date, the better. We book 12-18 months out and dates go quickly. Once you have secured a venue and date, we advise that you should book hair and makeup right after.

Upon signing the contract, we guarantee that our artist/stylist will be at your wedding. If there is an extreme emergency or act of god, we will make every effort to send another member of the Blush & Bobby Pins team to perform your services or another trusted professional. We keep detailed records of preview appointments, along with photographs to ensure that in an emergency your services can be completed just as they were at your preview.
How Can I Be Assured That My Booked Artist Will Show Up On My Wedding Day?

You are solely responsible for the contracted amount due, because we are unable to contract each attendant for their services. Our past brides have had success collecting payments from attendants through Venmo prior to making their invoice payments.
Do I Have to Pay for the Entire Balance or Can My Bridesmaids Pay Individually?
19
All services are paid through your online invoice. We accept major credit cards and ACH payments from your bank account via our online portal.
