Airbrush Makeup WHY? by Jamie Nguyen

Why Airbrush Makeup?

What is airbrush makeup? Airbrush makeup is the key to those stunning, beautiful, glowing model shoots that are in glamour magazines you see every day.

Why is it better than traditional liquids or powders? The biggest difference between airbrush makeup and traditional makeup is the way that it is applied. Instead of the rubbing, patting, and brushing of makeup onto your skin, airbrush makeup is applied by spraying a fine mist onto the surface on your skin for a perfect coverage. Since the airbrush makeup just sits on just the surface of your skin it will not clog pores or cause an allergic reaction. Blemishes are concealed and your skin tones will glow. Airbrush makeup offers flawless coverage, without looking or feeling like you are wearing makeup. Unlike your traditional liquids and powders, it is also sweat and water-resistant!

An airbrush makeup system is comprised of a compressor, hose, and airbrush makeup gun. The compressor supplies the makeup gun with air through the hose and the speed at which the air comes out of the compressor can be varied.

The makeup that is used in airbrush makeup system is very different from traditional makeup. You are not able to use traditional makeup in an airbrush makeup system. Airbrush is liquid makeup and has a finer pigment size than most other makeup. It can also be either water-based or silicone-based. The airbrush makeup is fast drying and will last the entire day without smudging and rubbing off on your clothes! Airbrush makeup tends to look more natural as well.

Airbrush makeup versus traditional comes down to personal preference. Some of our makeup artist love airbrush and others like the traditional application.
