What is Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush Makeup is a liquified form of makeup that is applied with an airbrush very similar to those used by autommotive makers. Although it sounds daunting, Airbrush Makeup looks fantastic and lasts for hours with absolutely no risk of caking or streaking.

Until recently, airbrush makeup was solely confined to celebrities. Have you ever wondered why celebrities look so good on the red carpet? The answer is airbrush makeup. Invented in the 1980s, it has seen a real revival in recent years due to the advent of High Definition Television. Stars are increasingly worried about looking absolutely perfect and not “looking as if they have put on makeup. Airbrush makeup offers this perfect subtle makeup look which looks amazing and will leave everyone wondering how you have such a good complexion.

The only real difficulty with this type of makeup is that it is relatively difficult to use. Unlike normal makeup, you will need a compressor and an airbrush and it is possible that you might need training, too. Having said this, a considerable number of people pick it up quite easily and find that it is well worth any extra effort. Some people claim that it is actually quicker to apply than regular makeup once you are used to it.

Until recently, airbrush makeup was only used by professionals but these days you can buy starter kits from a number of manufacturers. If you are interested in starting then it is very important to look around to make sure that you choose the best kit.
