What you need to know about Airbrush Foundation // Jessica Salort, Make-Up Artist

Many of you know I LOVE my airbrush foundation! And when you get yours done with me, you usually love it too! So what I wanted to talk about today is why I LOVE it and what you can expect when you book your services with me.

1. It's long-lasting. I often have my brides call me the next day, bragging about how it still looked good the day after. It's guaranteed for 12 plus hours of wear. 

2. It's water resistant meaning does well with tears, sweat, and ocean mist. 

3.This formula is a silicone-based, so it provides texture like skin. Your skin will also look healthy, not cakey. Think of this foundation as a healthy glow.

4. Coverage can range from light, medium, and full. I can also cover birthmarks, some tattoos, and color correct suntanned skin. It's also very lightweight, even with full coverage. 

5. You are custom matched you to your correct foundation shade. I can mix and match 20 formulas from the lightest to the deepest of shades. My beauty service is inclusive to everyone who sits in my chair.

6. Airbrush is applied by spraying not by a sponge or a brush, so it leaves skin looking smooth and flawless. If you especially have problematic skin such as acne, it works excellent in covering those little hard to reach crevices without disturbing the irritated skin.

Simple Make-Up tips for your next photo session // DIY Make-up // Jessica Salort

Learn how you could make the most out of your next beach photo session with DIY make-up tips that work.

Beauty Tips for a Successful Photography Session


As an experienced make-up artist and hairstylist, I want to share with you a few of my favorite beauty tips to help make the most of your next photo session.

Hair

-Embrace your natural hair. Our area is humid, and no matter what heat styling you do, your hair might revert to its natural settings.

-Be prepared for windy conditions. I sometimes have to pin my client's hair back because the wind has no set direction, and the hair is going all over. My clients often pick a half up and half down look to avoid this mess.

-Heat protection for hair is also necessary to prevent sun-damaged hair.

-Use humidity-proof and stronghold products for added security.

Nails

-Color on or off is what I say. I will more than likely take close-ups of your hands, so make sure they look good. 

-Sometimes to add an extra flair when time is limited, I grab a pack of press-on nails from Walmart. For $10 or less, my nails will look so good.

Skin

-Keep it hydrated. 

-Use a lotion that makes your skin glisten.

-Go easy on the spray tan. I can't fix orange skin.

-Remove any hair bands or Apple watches. Think about anything you may not want in photos later.

Face Prep

-Grab a wet washcloth or a make-up wipe and rub off all your dead skin. Make your skin look happy then moisturize before you put on your make-up. 

- Sunscreen is a must at the beach, even if you are only out for a few minutes. 

- If you are using primer stick with something oil-free. 

Foundation

-Make sure your foundation matches your skin. Your face shouldn't be a different color than the rest of your body. 

-Make sure your foundation isn't too heavy; otherwise, it could appear as cakey. I prefer full coverage for myself, so I add my moisturizer to my foundation, and I only apply to my T-zone since my face is naturally contoured. This method makes my foundation appear skin-like. 

- Don't go crazy trying to cover blemishes it might make your "secrets" as I call them more prominent. We can fix blemishes editing later. 

-Sometimes I add a little bronzer if my foundation is a little too light for my skin once I get a little tan on me.

Contour/Highlight

-Blend, blend, and blend. Avoid streaks when contouring those cheekbones. A heavy unblended contour will give you a muddy appearance. 

-Use a contour shade that is 1-2 shades darker than your skin tone.

- The highlight should help you achieve a sunkissed look, so apply lightly. Avoid heavy usage, especially on the nose and cheeks; you will appear sweaty.

Blush

-Add your highlight under your blush to avoid streaks. 

- Less is more. You might have a natural blush, so adding too much might enhance those red cheeks. 

-Avoid getting blush too close to your nose and apply directly on the apples of your cheeks with gentle pressure upwards to your temples.

Eyes

-Use eyeshadow primer if especially if your eyelids are oily. I love using MacPaint pots in color Ocre.

- Keep eyeshadow colors light and simple. 

-Once again, blend your shadows to avoid hard, unnatural lines. 

-Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner. These are must, especially with the humidity and if you are adventurous and decide to jump in the water. 

Eyelashes

-Use Waterproof mascara. For any beach setting, you want to make sure you do not end up with raccoon eyes. 

-False eyelashes add drama and depth to your eyes. I wouldn't go with the longest lashes, though. Stick with something natural. Trust me, a little will go a long way. 

- Try a few adhesives to see which one works best for you. My eyes are sensitive, so I have a specific brand I can use. 

Lips

-Exfoliate your lips before applying lip color. 

-Find a long-lasting lipstick/stain that will not end up all over your face. Remember, we will be hugging and kissing our family throughout our session. 

- If you need a little more pop, pair your make-up look with a fun lipstick. Find a mauve, peach, cream, pink, or red that makes you feel like a million bucks. 

-Avoid lip glosses as they usually end up all over our face with the heavy winds that the beaches bring. 

Setting Spray

-Setting spray will help keep your make-up in one place despite the wind, humidity, and sweat. Avoid the dewy finishes as you may already naturally glisten.

And if you just don’t want to deal with all the above, Remember Jessica Salort is your GlamMother and would LOVE to work with you! - Jessica

Say "No" to summer sunburned skin // Jessica Salort Make-Up Artist

Don’t let sunburned skin steal your vacation, say NO! If it happens call Jessica Salort.

Here on the Gulf Coast, we are known for our beautiful white sands and blue waters. We enjoy splashing around in the salty seas and often forget to re-apply sunscreen.

The problem here is that you will burn quicker here than at most places because our sand is so reflective of the sun. I urge you all to please cover up and use your sunblock as directed.

I get clients come in all week long with dehydrated skin that has been burned from the Florida sun. Sometimes it works out and I can fix it for their events butother times I am unable to.

This client in particular had a serious sunburn and luckily I was able to conceal it with a heavy make-up application. Her son was getting married this day and she spent way too much time outside without realizing the power of the sun.

There is not a secret to get rid of sunburned skin especially fresh burns. So again if you have an event you are excited about please pay careful attention to your application times.

I usually have multiple little alarms set on my phone to remind me to re-apply, and I always keep my beach hat in my car. I also recommend getting maybe a swim shirt to avoid those pesky tan lines, especially if you are worried about that with your event outfit. - Jessica
