A new technique has recently been added to conventional means of makeup application: airbrushing.
»
Traditionally, the makeup sponge and brush sufficed for applications of makeup. Now, the airbrush has indeed become a highly appealing application for the specialized makeup artist. Contact free application of makeup with the almost imperceptible medium of air - along with the significant benefits that this method brings - have helped lead to a rapidly growing interest in this technique. To successfully apply airbrush makeup, it is of course necessary to use specially designed makeup preparations. Just the right liquid foundation, for example, is absolutely necessary - micro-fine in consistency; designed and optimized for the airbrush. An appropriate airbrush itself, in addition to an effective mini-compressor, is naturally just as essential.

Frequently Asked Question About AirBrush Makeup
□
HOW DOES AIRBRUSH MAKEUP WORK?
»
Airbrush makeup is sprayed on through an air compressor as a fine mist of color that gently covers the skin, giving the appearance of a flawless complexion. Spraying microdots of makeup that rest on the surface of the face looks more natural than traditional makeup because it isn't rubbed into the skin and doesn’t exaggerate the pores. This process allows the Airbrush makeup to conceal better while enabling your skin to breathe.

HOW IS AIRBRUSH MAKEUP DIFFERENT?

Traditional foundations can look obvious, caked-on or thick and always feel like you are wearing makeup. Airbrush makeup leaves a light, seamless veil of color over the skin, creating the illusion of a perfect face because it is misted on, allowing your true skin tone to show through without masking your face. The ability to mix Airbrush foundation colors for individual custom blends is unsurpassed, resulting in a more natural look that covers skin imperfections effortlessly.
