Airbrush Makeup

So what is airbrush makeup, you ask? It is a unique make-up approach with precision control. This method is used to produce more radiant and flawless skin tones in a manner that sponges and brushes cannot. It provides longer lasting results, and true looking glowing skin with a beautiful, soft finish. It will not fade and stays put until you wash it off. Airbrushing lasts even under humid conditions. Due to its characteristics, airbrushing is often recommended for active women and brides. My airbrushed makeup daily stands the test of an hour of workout and sweat - Unbelievable!

Television and movie make up artists have been using the airbrush technique for years. Due to its seamless finish, it is the sole method used with HD television. (Ever wondered how their skin looks so smooth and shiny? I know I used to.) Airbrushed makeup is applied using an air compressor. It dispenses as a fine colored mist that lightly conceals the skin, creating the illusion of a perfect complexion. In reality it is spraying thousands of little makeup dots that rest on the surface, allowing the skin to shine through.

Since it is not rubbed in and does not elaborate the pores, it appears more natural than conventional makeup. The procedure is hygienic and provides better coverage while allowing the skin to breath. Some people (including myself) believe that makeup brushes can be dirty and can sometimes actually spread oils, bacteria and encourage the bad skin you were trying to cover up in the first place! Plus you don't need to worry about the guilt pangs I often feel when I forget to wash my brushes.

Surprisingly I've actually been able to reduce my total makeup application time since switching to Airbrush. It takes some time to apply a liquid foundation to ensure it's properly applied, blended evenly and looking natural. Since Airbrush makeup sprays very lightly, it usually just takes a few passes across your face to have an even application of the foundation. Wooo! A few extra minutes to sleep in in the morning, anyone? Plus it's pretty darn easy to apply a few extra layers to the areas that need it. No more blending!

What is airbrush makeup useful for? For starters, it can cover tattoos. This can be especially useful if you have a special event planned & want to cover up a tattoo while looking completely natural. It is waterproof and can hold up to a lot of tears and sweat. It stays put and will not smear. Unlike conventional foundations, airbrush makeup does not crack or cake and provides many hours of coverage. This makeup will not come off on your clothing, nor will you need to reapply or touch it up during the day. It gives complete coverage but does not feel thick or heavy. Airbrush makeup keeps oil production under control, preventing the skin from appearing shiny (except for that healthy glow that we all want anyways). In addition, it hides pores for a smooth finish that provides a natural and flawless appearance that is perfect for photographs. For this reason is a great makeup choice for special occasions.

Airbrush makeup can be mixed to exactly match one's skin tone, which means it can blend well to appear very natural. Once you learn the technique, airbrush makeup is quick to apply and it is easily cleaned off with water and soap. Airbrush foundation is available in water-based and silicone-based. Most experts favor the silicon-based as they say it provides a slightly more perfect look. It is necessary to purchase actual airbrush makeup as regular makeup will not work in the compressor. Animal lovers will be happy to know that many airbrush makeup facilities produce foundations that are not tested on animals. Airbrush ready eye shadow and blushes are available, however after your foundation dries regular eye makeup and blush can be used, so no need to throw out ALL your existing makeup (though you may want to anyways).
