CREATE A FLAWLESS FACE, WITH OR WITHOUT AIRBRUSH
We should all be able to apply a perfect makeup application, with or without use of airbrush foundation and equipment. Following are the benefits of airbrush makeup and how those can easily be achieved using traditional products.
1. Speed- It is very fast to airbrush the foundation on a face; you can also very quickly apply manual makeup once you have practiced, especially if you use foundations with which you are most familiar.
2. High Definition-All media is now in high definition. Airbrushing with either a silicone or water based foundation is perfect for high definition technology. However, if you select the proper materials and execute the manual makeup in thin layers, the skin will still look flawless in high definition.
3. Durability- Airbrush makeup is long lasting. However, if the face is properly prepped and primed, and the foundations selected contain silicone or wax, the makeup will be durable and water-resistant.
4. Touch Ups-To touch up a water-based airbrush application, the artist will need to redo the entire face; otherwise, the touch up will result in an uneven application; i.e., the “seal” will be broken. To touch up a silicone-based airbrushed face, there is a little more flexibility to move the product before it dries. However, once dried, the silicone, airbrushed face will also look uneven if there are foundation touch ups after the initial, dried application. On the other hand, with manual makeup, touch ups are easily blended with the original foundation applied.
5. The Kit-this is a no brainer-it is much lighter to carry a makeup kit that does not have an airbrush compressor and products. Most makeup artists have a separate kit for their airbrush compressor and products, which they may or may not need to carry with them on all jobs.
In short, while one must know how to apply airbrush foundation, the successful makeup artist must also work on learning how to duplicate that flawless finish with manual makeup products and techniques.
