For many women, the idea of using an airbrush to apply makeup seems more than a bit foreign and perhaps a bit intimidating. However, once you have learned the basic techniques most women find it provides a smoother, more polished look to their makeup with much less time required.
For professional makeup artists, having the airbrush system offers you another tool to use when doing makeup for clients. While you may not use it for every customer, many customers will request airbrushing, particularly for celebrities, preparing for television appearances or for bridal parties and graduation makeup.
The Advantages
The benefit of using airbrush makeup kits is the application method. The makeups used with this technology are made of very fine pigments, much finer than those found in crème foundations or in liquid foundations through retail types of makeup lines.
When air is used to apply this fine pigment, there is no caking or clumping and no makeup that is laying on the surface of the skin. Instead, there is an incredibly fine spray of the pigment that bonds with the skin, giving a natural look that is lightweight and even across the entire surface.
The Kit
It is a good idea to talk to different makeup professionals and learn about the difference in airbrush makeup kits. There are some very low-quality kits on the market that are poor quality. The spray nozzles and equipment will clog and will not spray a uniform, fine application of foundation. The results from this type of device will not be what you expect.
Investing in professional quality airbrush makeup kits will give you both the right type of makeup as well as the professional equipment to deliver the fine spray that is necessary for that beautiful look.
These kits are not going to be inexpensive, but with proper cleaning and care they will last for years, more than allowing you to get full value from the equipment. Depending on where you buy the kit from you may be able to have several colors of foundation included in your order. This is a perfect way to have the basics all in one order, allowing you to get started as soon as the system arrives.
Be sure to check to make sure that the seller offers parts for the system and that the company has been in business for a significant amount of time. This will ensure the system you purchase can be used for years to come.
