Airbrush makeup is a technique of applying makeup to the skin using an airbrush machine instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. The makeup is dispersed as an extremely fine mist through the airbrush gun, creating millions of tiny little dots on the skin that when connected and layered together, create somewhat of a net over the entire face. This makes airbrush makeup to be a thin, light layer on the skin that is barely noticeable to the wearer. Airbrush makeup wears longer than traditional powder or liquid foundation, and is able to stay put upwards of 12–24 hours. It can be used to cover five oclock shadows for men and is also available for eye shadow, blush, eyebrows, and lips and can be layered, shaded, highlighted, and contoured. The technique is more sanitary than traditional makeup application due to the artist never having to touch the skin, and its also faster if done by a trained artist. When it comes to deciding between airbrush makeup vs traditional makeup, it mostly comes down to the longevity and thickness. Airbrush makeup requires less product but can give you more coverage because of the spray application process. Some of the most popular airbrush makeup brands include Dinair, TEMPTU, Marc Harvey Beauty Cosmetics, and Iwata.
