HD vs Airbrush for a Chennai Wedding
Airbrush lays down a fine, even, transfer-resistant layer that holds up better through a long, hot South Indian ceremony — it is the choice for a daytime muhurtham. HD is easier to touch up and photographs beautifully under indoor and stage lighting, so it suits receptions. Many brides book airbrush for the wedding day and HD for the reception. Always do the trial in lighting similar to your venue.
What to Check Before You Book
