I’ve had so many comments here on Airbrush Makeup Salon asking me to write a review of the Temptu Pro airbrush makeup system and I thought it was about time I got to it.  So here it is: the Temptu Pro airbrush makeup review–and it’s a BIG one! If you are interested in the Temptu AirPod™ then you can read my earlier review here. In this review I cover both the compressors, the airbrush guns […]

This airbrush makeup review is a very detailed and long review of the Tickled Pink Airbrush Makeup System. Click here to skip to the final verdict if you don’t have time to read through the entire article. Tickled Pink are a small company who have released an airbrush makeup system with a mini-compressor to compete with Dinair, Belloccio & Temptu.

OMG! I may have just found my new favorite product!! A lot of people ask me what to do about oily skin when they are using airbrush makeup and I usually have a list of products that work well for some and not so well for others. But MediBac Clearing Mattifier by Dermalogica might just be the silver bullet to oily skin! It’s very light on the skin and I’ve found that it works really […]

The last few years have seen some really impressive advances in the quality of airbrush makeup kits. Great brands like Temptu, Dinair, The Kett Jett, MAC Air are familiar to most people who have an interest in airbrushing. But if you want to use the best equipment, Iwata is the top name in airbrush makeup systems. Originally built for airbrushing artists and industrial use, Iwata recently started producing compressors and airbrush guns specifically for makeup […]

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 […]

There are many ways to keep your airbrush makeup system clean and many different products you can use. Most of the time I find that (preferably distilled) water and back-bubbling is the easiest and best way. Any build up of makeup can also be forced out of the needle with a few bursts of air/water at the highest PSI. Vinegar or a natural citrus cleaner are also great cleaners for airbrush guns. Note: Do not […]

So many people ask me how to get rid of panda eyes with airbrush makeup without creating too much foundation build up. It’s not always easy and usually requires a routine of moisturizer, cleanser and concealer as well as a good foundation. Now things just got a whole lot easier with TEMPTU’s Under Eye Concealer designed specifically for tired eyes! Yay!! This is another amazing product from Temptu which is gentle on the eyes and […]

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 […]

The best thing about Kett cosmetics is the quality of their makeup. The blushes & foundation are so good that you don’t even need to use them with an airbrush makeup system (so those of you who are on the fence can order some to try out first before taking the plunge into airbrushing!). I love the colors of the Hydro Blush Collection (6 shades) which look stunning in the flesh–they have truly unique tones […]
