What Is Airbrush Makeup?

What Is Airbrush Makeup?

Ok, I have to admit when I find out something that I didn’t know before. My wife has been watching my Internet marketing exploits very closely and with her past modeling and television background she wants to promote a good airbrush makeup product to  the fashion and media industry. She really wants to engage the camouflage cosmetics market as well.

We’ll be talking about camouflage cosmetics in an upcoming article but it is absolutely fascinating. It is airbrush makeup that allows people with skin problems to have great looking skin. From psoriasis to burns, to covering tattoos…camouflage cosmetics is going to be a big item for airbrush makeup practitioners.

Well, we did our homework over the last couple of months and attended a number of workshops across the Country on airbrush makeup that were presented by the top manufacturers of airbrush makeup and airbrush tanning products as well.

We had the good fortune of meeting some very talented professionals in the airbrush makeup field as well. At this point we really feel comfortable introducing and recommending some very good manufacturers of airbrush makeup kits to our readership.

But first, let me tell you what airbrush makeup actually is. Airbrush makeup has been getting a lot of positive PR from the media. Popular television shows like ABC’s Desperate Housewives has been featuring airbrush makeup and anyone who saw Mickey Rourke in “The Wrestler” could spot airbrush tanning right away.

However I bet you’d never guess how long airbrush makeup has actually been around. For nearly 70 years the process of airbrush makeup has been used in motion pictures. Movies set in ancient times like “Ben Hur” and many of the films like Cleopatra and the classic “Ten Commandments” have benefited from the use of airbrush makeup on the cast and the extras.

For decades the industry has evolved beyond film and television and new tones and formulations continue to be developed to facilitate the airbrush makeup process.

In today’s Hi-Def, digital photography world, where EVERY imperfection is revealed, airbrush makeup has become the preferred method for professional makeup practitioners. Conventional makeup may look great on a normal television screen but in hi-def the look can be less than desired.

By utilizing airbrush makeup, the liquid color goes on in fine microdots that mimic color pixels used by technology. The tiny dots lay on the surface of the face so smoothly, the finish is most commonly described by everyone who sees it as “flawless” or “porcelain smooth”.

The other problem of traditional makeup is the way it completely covers the face, sometimes causing pores to clog. Traditional makeup also tends to fill the pores. Airbrush foundation does not do that. It lays on top of the skin and allows it to breath.

If that wasn’t enough reason to use airbrush makeup, here is another significant reason: it is sanitary and germ free. With all other makeup, it becomes contaminated the first time you use it.

Airbrush makeup goes from the bottle, that is never touched by human hands, to the clean airbrush and sprayed directly onto the face. Nothing but air and makeup touch the face.

With QVC and Billy Mays and just about every other late-night infomercial pitching airbrush makeup kits, how do you choose an airbrush makeup kit that’s worth buying?

Well you have to do a little research, or in this instance we’ve done the due diligence for you and we’ll give you the scoop on airbrush makeup kits.

So what’s actually included in a good airbrush makeup kit?

1. The air compressor…this makes obvious sense, what is going to power the airbrush if you don’t have the air to do so?

2. The airbrush itself. Like any artist, the brush chosen can make a big difference.

3. the hose from the compressor to the airbrush

4. The power source for the airbrush makeup machine itself.

5. The Airbrush makeup to be applied

6. The airbrush cleaner

If you can’t make it to an airbrush makeup training workshop it is vital that you obtain or have included a series of comprehensive training DVDs with the purchase of your airbrush makeup kit.Training DVD’s

When you purchase you airbrush makeup kit you need to determine how it’s going to be used. Will you be using it for commercial applications or for personal use?

Whichever use application you decide upon this is one product that you are going to want to have the best product available. If you are using your airbrush makeup kit for yourself, I’m sure you want to make sure it is the best product that you can buy for your skin.

Just as important, if you are using your airbrush makeup kit commercially you want to make sure that your customers keep coming back and that your phone keeps ringing.
