Want to know an easy way to cover up your birthmark that actually works? Well, read on! Airbrush makeup is the perfect tool for covering affected areas. Basically, the bigger the birthmark, the more likely I would be to recommend airbrush makeup. For small birthmarks it’s probably not worth buying an airbrush makeup kit unless you are going to use it for your main makeup system, but definitely look into this as an effective way […]

Some of you will develop your own techniques and that’s what makes airbrushing so fun! We have written some how-to guides on airbrush makeup application. Be sure to also check out our airbrush makeup tips as well as our […]

Once you get the hang of applying foundation with an airbrush you’ll be blown away by the results. By following a few simple rules you can create a radiant look with perfect coverage that will last the whole day. The best thing about airbrushed foundation is that you don’t even have to powder it afterwards because it dries quickly upon application (or with a little help from the air coming from the airgun). How To […]

Contouring: With contouring we are aiming to add definition to our makeup so choose a shade or two darker than the foundation (such as a bronzer or some shade of brown). Mix this into the cup using no more than 4 drops of makeup. Lower your PSI to 12-13. Remember to always spray the makeup onto your hand or paper to ensure the airbrush is working correctly and you have the right shade. Cheeks: starting […]

Blushing with airbrush makeup works so well because the fine mist action gives you a subtle hint of color resulting in a natural ‘flush’ look. Some people like to apply blush before foundation so it doesn’t stand out as much. I prefer blushing after foundation, contouring and highlighting as it’s almost like putting the icing on the cake. Choose a PSI between 12-15 (remember that a lower PSI is easier to handle) Just 2 drops […]

Don’t be afraid of airbrushing around the eye. Once you are comfortable with holding the airbrush makeup gun and doing your foundation, contouring and highlights then start practicing eye shadow application. Since the eye area is quite sensitive and you will be adding finer detail lower your PSI to between 6-10 in order to give you more control. Just 3 drops of eye shadow makeup are enough. From just a few inches away apply the […]

Airbrushing the eye area can be a challenge for beginners. If you want to apply eye liner freehand with the airbrush you really have to practice to get the technique down. Luckily there are a few companies who provide template guides with their kits such as Temptu and Dinair. These really make the whole process a lot easier and give you much more accuracy. However, many of you will want the freedom of doing this […]

Like eye liner, it is possible to do the brows freehand with the airbrush though it’s much easier to use the stencils like those from Temptu and Dinair. Definitely when you get the hang of using the airbrush and are comfortable with the weight of it in your hand then go for it! Remember: Practice makes perfect. When airbrushing the brows, a low PSI is better for finer control and is also less hazardous around […]

Most airbrush makeup kits come with 4 tones of foundation which fall under a further 4 base shades: fair, medium, tan or dark. Generally our skin tones are classified as either neutral cool or neutral warm. Here’s a quick tip: to work out if you are warm or cool check the underside of your forearm. If the veins are more blue, then you most likely have pink undertones and are considered ‘warm’. If your veins […]

We’ll start this ‘how-to’ with a little note about some awesome training features offered by Dinair. The first is the “Less is More” bands which can be attached to the airbrush gun as a guide to teach you how far back to rock the lever. Think of them as ‘training bands’ like training wheels when you were learning how to ride a bike. The second is the “Distance Guide” which can be attached to the […]
