Airbrush Makeup Basics: Choosing the Right Airbrush Makeup

An article by Michelle    2 Comments

Before you begin using airbrush makeup there are a few things you should know about the makeup itself. There is a huge range to choose from and, like traditional makeup, not all makeup used in airbrush kits are the same. Most people stick with the same brands of makeup as their airbrush system–this is often because it’s an issue of warranty rather than preference. I say go out and experiment with different makeup. Have fun with it, mix colors and try all the different brands you can afford to try.

A few brands have starter sets like the Temptu Pro 1/4oz. Starter Set which showcase the entire range in smaller bottles. You’ll soon have your favorites. And let me know what you think by posting comments or your own reviews in the comments section!

For those unfamiliar with airbrush makeup, keep these points in mind:

• Water-based makeup is good for creating a matte finish and is considered hypoallergenic.
• Silicone based gives you the best look with true HD feel. It also lasts the longest. However, some people have a sensitivity to silicone makeup and you should test it on your skin first.
• Alcohol based makeup is great for body paint but should be avoided for the face and especially eye area.
• Always shake the makeup well before you use it
