Catherine Zeta Jones wears it. So does Jennifer Lopez. Why? Airbrush makeup creates a flawless face – almost as if you took your picture and ran it through Photoshop.
Here’s how it works. A tiny amount of specialized foundation makeup is mixed with a few drops of water, and then sprayed onto the face with a wand. The result is a sheer, yet full coverage. You end up wearing less foundation, but with a flawless finish. It’s like wearing no makeup at all.
Tools for At-Home Airbrush Application
First time users can get this equipment in a kit. After that, all you will need is the foundation. Of course, you can buy a kit filled with foundation, too.
Before you get started, make sure your face is freshly washed. You can use an oil-based cleansing product, such as petroleum jelly.
A good exfoliation product will already have a layer of the foundation on it. Use a towel to wipe away excess. You can apply your regular moisturizer beneath your foundation for a healthy glow.
Now, you’re ready to begin. Just start with the foundation. Lightly apply it all over your face. The lighter you can apply the foundation, the more sheer the effect will be. Now you can add other products over the foundation. It is unnecessary to use blush, eye shadow, and mascara when wearing airbrush makeup.
Save time. You will spend less time applying your foundation by spraying your face with the airbrush makeup before you begin.
Re-apply your makeup immediately after washing. You may be tempted to skip this step, but your fingers and makeup tools will get stained if you skip this step.
Don’t forget to mix your foundation with the airbrush makeup. This will ensure longer lasting makeup and help your makeup last longer.
Use a makeup brush to apply your powered on airbrush makeup. Use long, round strokes to press the makeup onto your face.
Prepare your skin by applying a primer. Follow this with a base. For dry skin, use a body lotion.

1. Prepare the Blade
Your airbrush makeup will have a blade in it that you will use to spray the makeup onto your skin. It is important to make sure that the blade is sharp. A dull blade will not spray the makeup evenly.
2. gear up
You will want to get a hold of a moisturizer and an airbrush foundation. If you don’t, you may not be able to spray your makeup on your skin.
These are the things that you will want to stock up on before you begin.
Powder foundation
Airbrush foundation
Cream blushes
Powder blush
3. Prepare Your Face
Before you begin, make sure that your face is clean. The more clean your face is, the smoother your makeup will be. If you don’t have any makeup remover, you can use an oil-based soap.
Your face should be freshly washed. If you did not wash your face before you started, you can use an extremely thorough cleanser.
Oil-based soap is the best for removing makeup because it is PH balanced. There are also oil-free soap products, but they can dry out your face. It is a good idea to wash your face twice to remove all the dirt and then you can begin the process.
4. Make Your HairReady
When you hair is clean and dry, make sure that it is tied up and away from your face. You may want to put a shower cap over your head to keep the steam in.
You may also want to use a blow dryer to keep your hair warm while you blow dry it.
5. Apply Your Face Makeup
When you are ready to apply your airbrush makeup, make sure that your face is clean and dabbed with face makeup remover. Remove the makeup with a make-up remover agitating brush.
6. Do It Quickly
When you are applying your makeup, make sure that you do it quickly. The proper time to apply makeup is when you are in a hurry.
If you make the mistake of applying too much makeup at first, wait for a couple of minutes so that you can see how it is going to look. Then, you can add more makeup if you wish.
7. Enjoy Your New Look!
When you are finished applying airbrush makeup, enjoy it. You did not spend hours in the gym working hard for a big muscular build or sweat gathered under the hot sun. You just got it all done in a matter of minutes.
You look beautiful!
