**Please be sure you read the UPDATE at the end!!!**
I have used this every day for almost a month. I wanted to make sure it was good before I posted a review. I got this one because `the other one' costs more and didn't have all the goodies with it. This one has everything you see in the picture.
The thing about this is that it takes a little practice. It's not the same as slapping on foundation. By the third time - I had it down and I really love the look of it. Here's some things I know about it. Maybe it will help another customer make a decision about their purchase.
I tried it on a long weekend so that I could get plenty of practice. First of all, the instructions are more of a pamphlet. But really, there doesn't seem to be any need of anything else. So - I put in 6 drops of foundation as suggested and let her rip. Well - I was horrified at the results!!! It was all blotchy and it looked like I just dumped a bottle of foundation on my face. I almost boxed it up right then and there to send back, but I really wanted this to work. The second time - I used the primer. 8 drops does the job for me. I let it dry, (do your eye makeup and concealer at this time) then put on the foundation. Just a couple of tries and I found my perfect color. 8 drops of that seems to be a perfect amount. 3 drops of blush and I'm out the door. What I really like about having all the extra colors is that when your skin color changes with the seasons you can tweak the color as you need to.
A couple of things:
You HAVE to use the primer. You will not get the results you want without it.
The bottles of makeup, etc are not as big as they seem on the ad. But it's actually OK. The makeup is thin to be able to go through the airbrush. I have been using it a month and am only ½ way through just one of the foundation and the primer bottles. You use it sparingly. The directions say 6-8 drops. 8 is more like it. You probably want more if you want to do more layers. But do it as layers and not all at one time or it will be a mess.
About actually using the airbrush - OK - here's the deal - when I first tried it, I blasted it on where I need it most (under eyes). That was a mistake! Yikes! You should have seen me! Scary. Anyway - Load up the airbrush, put it about 8 inches away from your face, then CLOSE YOUR EYES and let it go. I figured this one out because if you don't, before you know it you will have moved the airbrush very close to your face and then the makeup is all runny. If you have your eyes closed, you won't do that. BTW - it doesn't get in your eyes, hair etc. I thought it would but it really doesn't. You end up with a really nice matte finish.
Using the blush - 3 drops. Any more than that is too much. When you apply, start with the airbrush up higher. Usually when we put on powder blush, we start low and go high. Start around the middle of the area and don't go down as low as you would with powder blush otherwise it sprays too low.
The main thing about the airbrush is to keep it moving. Moving it slower over trouble areas will not do the job. (Think of the way you spray paint. It's exactly the same thing. Too close or too slow and it gets gloppy and runs.) Dab your concealer then use the airbrush. When you first turn it on, it defaults to medium speed. I've been using the low speed and only just changed to medium speed. It seems the medium is better. I don't know if its because I got better at it or what. I haven't used the tanner yet. I don't use tanner so I can't really give you any info if it's good or not. Maybe on another long weekend I'll give it a try!
Cleanup is a snap. They give you a large bottle of cleaner. Once you're done - fill up the cup with cleaner, spray a little through it, put your finger on the tip to let it back bubble and spray it again. I use a Q-tip to clean the bowl and tip. The end you unscrew and wipe off the needle. Hint - be careful when you unscrew the needle holder. It can come off and try to go down your drain. Good thing I caught it in time! Anyway - the cleaning process literally takes maybe 10 seconds.
So, I timed myself this morning from beginning to end. From primer application and drying (eye makeup time - even though the primer dries in seconds) through foundation, blush and cleaning - just under 6 minutes, and I was moving slow for a Monday morning.
I see where others have had trouble with their unit breaking. I have had no trouble with mine at all. I really hope it lasts.
Give this airbrush a try. A little patience and you will be hooked. I will still keep my other makeup for travel but now I really don't want to use that other stuff anymore. Maybe I don't have to! They send a cute little carrying case to go with the airbrush!
UPDATE - so I am ready to buy refills for the foundation and primer. I went to their web site. I wanted to get the 2oz primer and 2 ounces (4 bottles) of foundation. The total was 88 bucks. Expensive for makeup but OK. I went to check out and they put on $34 for shipping!!!! $122!! Are they crazy??? (The checkout is through Amazon on their site) And that's without insurance or anything else. No way. I'm not buying it. It's not gold. So I went to Amazon and they are only charging $4.95 here! The primer has a shipping charge added but the makeup doesn't. Go figure. BTW - if you click on 2 day shipping just to see what it is - the price jumps from $4.95 to almost $39!! I just wanted to add this so people know this BEFORE they buy it. I still give 5 stars for the unit, though. It's great!

Great airbrush
I gave this 3 stars because I love the compressor but hate the foundation. Read my review on both below.FOUNDATION: To me this is equivalent to a super cheap drugstore brand of makeup, and I’m not talking the big names lol. The foundation also oxidizes bad. It also is NOT water resistant nor waterproof, nor transfer/smudge proof even WITH their setting spray. Can’t even get a drop on it or it will run. I can literally use water to remove it completely. I think it’s an amazing price and the makeup to ME is practice makeup. It also settles into lines and takes quite a while to dry down. Def do not use near your eyes. Idk, maybe my idea of good quality foundation is much different than the ppl who reviewed so far. Either way, it’s a great price but if you are a Sephora girlie who is used to brands like huda, Anastasia, dynessa myricks,etc and is REALLY into getting that snatched flawless base, then you prob won’t be impressed and think it’s oily and cakey. I read that someone didn’t have that issue bc they didn’t use the included primer. I’ve tried on moisturized skin with their primer, clean unmoisturized skin with their primer, and without their primer…makeup is cakey and oily no matter what you do lol.COMPRESSOR/AIRBRUSH: Now, about the machine. It’s super cute, very compact and seems to work fine. I ordered a different foundation set from THE original airbrush makeup brand as well as their compressor so I’ll be able to compare. If I can remember, I’ll update my review for the compressor as this is my first airbrush so I can’t for sure say its output is great, I can only give my opinion as a newbie lol. Seems pretty good however, I do notice larger drops spewing out vs super fine ones so idk. It’s noticeable if u want to bring light to the center of your face, you can see the larger droplets since you’d typically use a shade or 2 lighter than your foundation for highlighting those areas. I’d have to get my other brand in the mail to see if that’s normal. Also, I clean after EVERY use, immediately so not sure why it’s not a consistent super fine spray. It’s also not empty when it happens so idk. It does splatter when empty but the splattering I’m speaking of is the entire application pretty much.ADVICE: apparently you do NOT pull the lever all the way back when applying. That’s why it seems to run out super fast. You want to pull it back slightly until you feel the makeup and pull back more as needed. The farther back, the more comes out. Def still need about 15 drops to do a whole face but before I found a tutorial about that, I couldn’t believe how much foundation I was going through. This isn’t an issue with the device, it’s a newbie mistake. Figured I’d throw that in there for us new ppl. Also, practice with water! You can literally see the water on your face. It almost looks like a layer of clear foundation lol and that will help you get a feel for application without wasting foundation but like I said, it’s super cheap makeup so you can absolutely practice non-stop with the foundation if you want to just see how well you apply it.

At first I was apprehensive, I’ve been doing make up for years, but wasn’t sure I could pull off the airbrush. However, it is so easy! The first application was more time consuming than it advertised. But-these pics are only my second application and I cut the time in half! I recommend doing your eye makeup first, then applying the primer and foundation, etc. once finished I find it a bit tacky, so I use a setting powder on top after the finishing spray. That also helps to blend and matte. I love this so much! It is so light and easy to remove as well. I got a set for my salon-and a set for home. Also, they suggest you hold the airbrush 6-8 inches away from your face. I have found I have better control at 4-6 inches away. And there are a series of “how to” on YouTube that was extremely helpful!!
