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 […]

I am continually updating this airbrush makeup review section as I come into contact with airbrush makeup from different brands. Many are continually innovating and enhancing both their compressors, airbrush guns and their makeup. It’s very exciting to be a part of airbrushing and I know you’ll be hooked as soon as you first try it! Below are the first series of airbrush makeup reviews. I have also added (and am continuing to add) very […]

Dinair is probably the most popular brand available at the moment since they’ve been around for such a long time. The makeup feels so light on the skin and the system itself is a really great compact size–ultra cute–but maybe a little less powerful than those the professionals use. At $199 for the kit it is about average in the price range. The bottles of foundation start at $12 for a 1/4 oz. bottle and […]

The TEMPTU Airbrush Makeup System is in a class of its own with a unique and funky system and high quality makeup. Though the compressor is a little bit larger (and louder) than some other systems, there is real industrial design behind the Temptu Air System which in many ways has revolutionized the way we apply airbrush makeup. NB: This review covers the Temptu AirPod™ and I have since written a BIG review of all […]

The Kett Jett is a powerful and versatile compressor. Featuring an adjustable airflow range from 0 to 30 PSI it gives the user full control over the amount of makeup being dispensed as well as the intensity of the coverage. This means that you can reduce the margin for error by reducing the airflow down below 6 psi which is a fantastic feature especially for beginners. In the higher range you can use The Kett […]

Luminess has a large range of affordable Airbrush Makeup Kits which increase in price as you add features and makeup. It ranges from the basic Kelly System at $165.95 to The Platinum (which includes Luminess Tan) at $369). In between are the Luminess Air ($229) and the Luminess Professional ($309.95). All kits come with makeup with the main difference being the quality of the compressor and nozzle. As with many companies though, shipping and handling […]

M.A.C. Cosmetics have partnered with airbrush manufacturer Iwata to create their range of Airbrush Makeup Systems called M.A.C. Air. Iwata is a well established brand with excellent quality equipment (my favorite airbrush makeup equipment is Iwata!). Iwata is the preferred brand of many professional makeup artists as well as painters. They have several models, the more popular airbrushes being the Eclipse HP CS Dual Action and the High Performance Cup C+ (HP-C+) combined with one […]
