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 […]

This has to be one of my most favorite videos on Airbrush Makeup–how gorgeous is Michael?! Love those eyebrows! Anyway, in this video Michael, aka TheSublimeAgent, talks about the Dinair Airbrush Makeup System and is blown away by ‘how seemless, natural, flawless and full coverage airbrush makeup can be.” We agree!! Michael makes a really good point that the results you get with makeup depend on your skills and the tools that you use–and he […]

Everyone has different needs when it comes to makeup. And, when it comes to airbrush makeup kits there is a huge variation in what you get. Price isn’t the only indicator of quality and I’d definitely recommend visiting a salon, Sephora or a friend’s house to get some hands-on experience with airbrush makeup before deciding which kit you want. Don’t forget to head on over to our airbrush makeup review section too! Look for one […]

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 […]

Probably the biggest (or only) downside with airbrush makeup systems is the amount of cleaning required. But, once you have a good routine it isn’t much of a hassle at all and no more stress than keeping your brushes and sponges clean. There’s cleaning between makeups and cleaning after applying your makeup and this all takes time. No airbrush will work properly without being cleaned regularly and correctly–this is just the nature of airbrushing. However, […]

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 […]
