Airbrush: What is it?
Airbrush makeup is a thin layer of makeup that is applied using an airgun and air compressor. This makeup is applied in circular sweeping motions to achieve a smooth lightweight effect that can mimic the way a camera can capture your face. The foundation used in airbrush makeup comes in many formulas, but is most known for its silicone base formulas making it weatherproof, sweatproof, and water resistant. It is buildable and leaves you with a very natural look. There is also very little transfer which is fitting when wearing light colors.
