TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Airbrushing is extremely easy, fast and the most sensational way to enhance your beauty. This guide is designed to help answer commonly asked questions for fast results.

Please read along, you may find these tips extremely useful, especially if you are a first time user.

Shake the makeup bottles for 10-20 seconds before your first use. The makeup needs to be “Activate.” Then subsequently, always give makeup 5 brisk shakes before routine use. Not doing this will result in poor coverage, shiny finish or a very unsatisfactory look.

Picking your shade before Airbrushing. We sent four unique shades of foundation. Sample all four shades on your skin by placing a droplet and then smearing with your finger. One shade will disappear into your skin. If this does not happen then take the closest shade, even if it not a dead-on match to apply with airbrush (Airbrush pigments work very differently compared to liquid foundations and mineral powders, please be patient and watch what happens when even a “ball-park” shade is airbrushed on your skin!) Airbrushing tends to defuse close shades into a camouflage producing a very amazing match. This is one of the great miracles of airbrushing. Allow us to help you select your BEST EVER shade, never hesitate to call us and we can walk you through this and help you find the best shade.

Little goes a long way. The airbrush stylus has a throttle button which works much like the “gas pedal” on your car. We typically NEVER PULL BACK ALL THE WAY, just as you rarely “floor” the gas pedal on your car, just a gentle touch (about ¼ to 1/2 of the way is all you need). Barely pull back on the button until you start getting the most delicate spray. The point is to spray the most fine coverage and not to blast makeup which can look very unattractive.

Go light on the coverage and then do multiple layers to get the right coverage. Apply very thin, transparent coats, almost as if you are applying very fine ultra-transparent film layers. This is how you get that translucent, natural young skin. Imagine if you are applying very thin delicate coats until your coverage is absolutely right. So regardless of if you want a sheer translucent look or a heavier opaque look, it’s always best to apply in thin coats. This will give you the most professional results. Many beginners tend to spray heavily producing a very unattractive look. Go slow, go light! Layer your foundation on very lightly and always remember to keep your hand moving.

When airbrushing, always keep your hand moving and never spray on one spot if you are trying to spray your face. Make circular “O” movements or figure “8” movements with your hand and always apply very light delicate coats. Do this and you will NEVER go wrong.

Keep a Fan brush handy for that final FINISHING TOUCH. Don’t hesitate to use a light brush to finish-off your face (this is a great technique for beginners).

The deep cleaning section (removing the needle) in our DVD is not intended for cleaning after every day or every use. Do this once every four to six weeks to keep getting the most optimal spray. However, we do recommend spraying out any left-over makeup in your airbrush after every use which takes seconds .
