Airbrush Makeup is a makeup that is sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush rather than applied with a sponge, brush, finger, or other method. Airbrush is characterized by 3 main parts. Powered compressors are used to create an even and controllable air flow through medical grade hoses. Hose connects to gun, metal trigger-actionable. The airbrush system can be changed to suit each type of makeup application by changing the air pressure (usually measured in pounds per square inch) for lighter, heavier, detailed or wider makeup. It's popular in movies, theaters, bridal makeup and sunless tanning. Systems designed for personal home cosmetic use are also available. Airbrush systems designed for home use are typically smaller and work at lower pressures than systems used in industrial applications. This technique was first used in 1959 on an actor in Ben Hur and has since grown in popularity in the entertainment business.

Usage
Airbrush makeup has become more popular with the advent of video and high definition television (HD). Traditional powder or liquid-based makeup can settle and appear in the pores and wrinkles and look on HD movies. When the makeup is sprayed, it connects to the skin as millions of formula drops. The formula can create a flat, natural, and natural appearance for the skin that, if properly applied to a natural look, can look natural and not heavy like traditional makeup. Airbrush makeup lasts longer than traditional powder or liquid foundation, and can last up to 12-24 hours. This can be used to cover the shadow of five hours for men. Airbrush makeup is also available for eye shadow, blush on, eyebrows and lips and can be coated, shaded, highlighted and contoured. The application is wise, the technique is more sanitary than traditional makeup applications because the artist never has to touch the skin. It's also faster, if done by a trained artist. Fantasy and special effects can be stenciled or made with hands free.
Benefits
Airbrush makeup is characterized by a unique 'globular' application technique. The makeup was scattered as a very fine mist through the airbrush gun. Millions of tiny little dots are made on the skin and when connected and put together, make a little net around the face. This makes the airbrush makeup thin, a thin layer of skin that is barely visible to the wearer. Certain formulas are better than others and it is important to choose carefully when deciding which mix is ââright for the job. Some airbrush makeup is fully waterproof unless it is turned off with a special remover that breaks the active ingredient. For example, a silicone-based airbrush fluid is very waterproof depending on how much, and how you manage makeup. Can be dipped in water (useful for photography or film mode) or sweat through without removing or removing the airbrush base. Nevertheless, take a special silicone makeup remover to really take off (but naturally it will come for hours). In contemporary facial makeup, airbrush makeup has become the preferred choice for bridal make up and show because of its long and flawless appearance.
Materials
Airbrush makeup is available in six different formulas:
-
- Water-based: Fine pigments dissipated in water.
- Polymer-water-based: A mixture of water, polymers and pigments, when airbrush on the polymer skin dries out of a continuous layer on the skin.
- Polymer-SD40-alcohol based: Instead of using water like a polymer-based formula, it uses alcohol that helps make up the makeup on the skin. Alcohol based: Also called "temporary airbrush ink" alcohol-based formulas are commonly used when making fake tattoos.
- Silicone based: Use silicon to last longer and without fading. Silicone-based can be attenuated with a certain type of additive formula, for lighter coverage.
Airbrush makeup can be removed by using 50/50 isopropyl alcohol mixer and isopropyl myristate.
Technique
Airbrush for makeup uses hands free techniques to apply makeup while manipulating aspects like distance and air pressure to produce certain effects and coverage. Airbrush makeup artists will use a circular motion or movement back and forth with a wind rifle when applying the foundation. Double action and single action airbrushes can be used for air spraying makeup and require slightly different techniques.
Double action airbrush allows the user to control the airflow by tapping the trigger with the index finger and drawing it backwards. It draws air from the compressor. The further the trigger is depressed, the more makeup is released. The advantage of using dual action airbrushes is that one can use the air as a guide before letting makeup past the nozzle. Air is also used to dry the makeup after application. The makeup is also mixed in the cup by allowing a small amount of air to flow into it, thus mixing the two pigments. This technique is known as 'back-bubbling'.
Single action airbrushes are generally considered easier to use as it presses the trigger to release the fixed ratio from makeup to air. However, to achieve different levels of coverage and detail, the nozzle should be changed between applications.
Generally the airbrush makeup artist will work with PSI range between 0-35 PSI. Many compressors designed for personal use at home will not reach airflow greater than 15 PSI. Low PSI is preferred when spraying makeup around the face and eyes while whole body applications (such as covering stains or tanning) are easier and faster with higher PSI.
Airbrush makeup is applied by coating some makeup sheets. This allows the artists to build on top of the previous layer to produce subtle changes. When applying the foundation between 6-12 drops makeup is used. The makeup is sprayed onto the face at a distance of 6-12 inches.
Stencils are usually used to help with difficult area applications such as eye-liners. Stencils are also available for body art and temporary tattoos.
