Yes it’s true–sometimes I do powder after airbrushing my makeup! I think all the manufacturers will tell you that it’s not necessary and, in fact, you don’t really ever need to powder after airbrushing. It just depends on the look you want. And there’s no sense in using a poor quality powder that will just counter the flawless results you have created with airbrushed makeup. That’s why I love the HD Microfinish Powder from MAKE […]

Ok – not all these books are about airbrush makeup per se. But the theory of applying makeup with an airbrush gun is mostly the same as with traditional makeup. It’s just the technique and mode of application that differs. Most professional makeup artists use a combination of brushes, sponges, fingers, cotton, as well as airbrush makeup kits. Neither one is ‘better’–they just produce different results and knowing how to use them along with a […]

I’ve always said that the best way to see the advantages of airbrush makeup over traditional makeup is to first use it and then look at the results. I was introduced to airbrush makeup when a friend of mine bought the TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System and suddenly had the most radiant, glowing skin I’d ever seen! We were both hooked after that day and here are some of the reasons why: Airbrush Makeup Pros: Traditional […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
