Most airbrush makeup kits come with 4 tones of foundation which fall under a further 4 base shades: fair, medium, tan or dark. Generally our skin tones are classified as either neutral cool or neutral warm. Here’s a quick tip: to work out if you are warm or cool check the underside of your forearm.

We’ll start this ‘how-to’ with a little note about some awesome training features offered by Dinair. The first is the “Less is More” bands which can be attached to the airbrush gun as a guide to teach you how far back to rock the lever.
