TMA’s point of view
minimalist makeup for all skintones & complexions
For this San Francisco bride, I used the #Temptu Airbrush formula to enhance her natural glow. Next to nothing. My artistry is all about enhancement rather than coverage. I believe in starting with a clean, organized space and a pampering skincare routine before the glam EVER begins. The result is a soft, INTENTIONAL, effortless elegance with long-lasting foundation and subtle contouring—so subtle that you won’t see it, but we both know it’s there, like a delicate veil!
Neutral eye-shadows are used to never overpower; leaving you feeling radiant and confident just like Nikki.
BRIDE ARCHETYPE: The Polished Bride, The Refined Minimalist Bride. The Edited Bride, she’s understated.
airbrush formulation
Airbrush Makeup: A favorite among nearly 80% of my brides!
WHAT IS IT: This technique uses an air gun to apply liquid foundation, creating an even next to nothing coverage.
VALUE ADD: The formula is so sheer that it’s almost undetectable—perfect for the minimalist bride. Nothing unnecessary. It feels breathable, enhancing your natural beauty without any heaviness. Subtle—so subtle that you won’t see it, but we both know it’s there, like a delicate veil. “You but better!”
LONGEVITY: It lasts up to 10 hours on average.
BRIDE ARCHETYPE: The Minimalist who adores sheer coverage, the woman that loves tints over foundation.
