The big launch never came, and the new One model simply and quietly started being sold on the Dinair website, replacing the single speed unit that had been available up to that point without any special announcement. Therefore I'd like to take it upon myself to tell that<b> this is the most fantastic innovation to hit the airbrush makeup market in the last few years</b>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you follow my page you might have seen my rave reviews for the first version of this applicator. I had been in touch with Dinair about the next version and I knew it was going to feature more than one pressure setting, so I was expecting something along the lines of the "three speed" mini units that are already present on the market, where the fixed selectable pressure levels are not very powerful, nor particularly useful. What I got instead, to my amazement, was <b>a completely versatile unit that does everything that the Dinair table top mini compressor does, and has as much power, without the encumberment of cables and hoses</b>, and keeping the same form factor of the first Dinair One model. Thanks to one single multi tasking button, this little powerhouse can produce anything from the softest PSI output to full flushing out mode, and anything in between. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The functioning of the button being so articulated, I had to take a little time to get used to it, but after using the unit for a couple of full face makeups it became second nature. <b>The unit basically operates in two modes:</b> I will call them Variable Pressure and Pre Set Pressure modes. In the variable mode you can press the top edge or the bottom edge of the button to achieve any pressure output you wish and the air strength increases gradually and smoothly as if you were using a normal dial. In the Pre Set Pressure mode the compressor immediately jumps to the strongest output (flush out strength /cleaning mode) or to a medium preset that comparable to the one produced by the first version of the Dinair One.To switch between the two aforementioned modes, all you have to do is press the same button for a couple of secongs. In the video posted below you can see a more detailed illustration of how the multi function button works. </p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qC_iph2xX8c?si=ZbWMHSHT_oi15WOU" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div></div></span><p style="text-align: justify;"></p></div>
<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">All of this versatility is packed in a form factor that, like I said, is almost identical to the previous version, maintaining for this unit the title of <b>most ergonomic hand held compressor out there</b>, and remarkably improving the game in terms of product overall durability. The battery of this new version of the Dinair One offers a performance comparable to the one of the first model. Of course changing the pressure often and using a stronger airflow has an impact on the <b>battery duration</b>, but don't forget that this unit also works when plugged in the mains, and having a long charging cord, it will allow you to continue using it with almost the same freedom as if it was cable free. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">To accompany the soft launch of the new Dinair One, a <b>new Dinair airbrush model called DLX</b> was selected. This replaced my much beloved JX2, which is still the only airbrush I never had to take apart and which still performs amazingly after over three years. The new DLX airbrush has a press-on nozzle, which makes it a lot easier to deep clean for novices and those who are not very technically inclined. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>DECEMBER 2023 UPDATE</b>: The above mentioned DLX airbrush model was quickly followed by an updated version. The brand new <b>"DLX Gold Tip"</b> is made with even stronger materials than its predecessors in order to minimize maintenance and optimize performance. The DLX Gold Tip also features a press-on nozzle to facilitate deep cleaning, which becomes super easy and fast thanks to the custom designed Cleaning Caps System. I have used this new model for many different kind of makeup looks, from HD proof, undetectable skin correction to full theatrical glamour, and the airbrush has performed flawlessly throughout, maintaining its initial "brand new airbrush" smoothness, responsiveness and feel even after many uses. The spray pattern of the DLX Gold Tip is easily the finest I have experienced in an airbrush designed for makeup, making this the ultimate Dinair airbrush.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have been using the new Dinair One for just over a year now, and in several projects and demos, the latest of which I am pasting below. During this time, and a keen observation of the airbrush market in general, I have not seen anything comparable being produced anywhere else. I cannnot help but use the word genius to describe George Lampman's incredible new design. I will close this by saying that for a Dinair airbrush makeup lover or professional <b>there is only one thing better than having the new Dinair one, and that is... having two!</b></p>

In all likelihood what he did was more akin to spray painting, since the goal was to darken the bodies of the many extras involved in the production in the fastest and more natural way possible. Still, he demonstrated a principle that was never to be forgotten, establishing for the first time the many advantages of applying color on skin through air. While the most innovative professionals in the Hollywood makeup industry continued to experiment with airbrushing beauty makeup, as demonstrated by the photograph of <b>Monty Westmore</b> working on Olivia De Havilland on the set of Gone With The Wind, the technique survived mainly in the realm of special effects and prosthetic design, where the speed and subtlety it was able to achieve became an essential asset to the specialized teams in the budding SFX world.<b> </b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>With the advent of High Definition</b> in the late seventies, everything started to change for the makeup industry. The new digital recording medium allowed for a level of definition of the image that the contemporary products available to makeup artists were struggling to live up to. Makeup suddenly became obvious on camera, and huge changes were needed. It was at this moment that airbrushing came to the foreground, as a way to achieve the undetectable result that was now needed, and the first innovators such as <b>Dina Ousley</b> and her team began producing formulas that were made specifically for this type of application. The mainstream beauty industry meanwhile began its long attempt to catch up by creating the first HD formulas that had subtlety and true to life color matching as their goal, all without having to use a much dreaded mechanical instrument such as the airbrush.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These attempts remained pretty underwhelming throughout the '90s and early '00s, when the awareness of airbrushing among professional makeup artist was at its peak. Then in the following years the industry (almost) caught up, producing formulas for traditional application that now yield more comparable results to those obtainable with an airbrush. More importantly, they managed to promote the idea that more and more products were necessary to achieve the desired results, as the personal image culture shifted thanks to social media and the beauty industry as a whole reached unprecedented earnings in the western hemisphere. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">In my years of teaching airbrush makeup, I have often been asked <b>why doesn't every pro makeup brand adopt and promote airbrushing</b>, seen as the results are still above those obtainable any other medium, and the time, resources, hygiene practices and environmental impact needed to achieve them considerably less. The answer is the same as always: <b>money</b>. With single made-for-airbrush products that effectively do the job of three or four traditional ones, much longer expiration dates and PAOs, remarkably smaller quantities required, and fewer tools and sanitization needed, <b>airbrush makeup is simply too efficient for its own good</b>. Then of course there is the educational aspect: unlike brushes, an airbrush is still a tool that was not given to us to play with from a very young age, therefore we perceive it as scary and difficult to use. The opposite is true, as those who give it a try soon find out. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is now September 2023 and I have just updated the <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/p/useful-links_20.html"><b>LINKS DIRECTORY</b></a> of this website, the most complete listing of Airbrush Makeup brands and related companies on the internet. The update was long in the making, because the global pandemic had severe implications for the beauty industry and even more so for the independent companies that keep this medium alive. Year after year, as I give thanks for their continuing presence, these courageous innovators confirm my now deeply held belief that <b>while airbrush makeup will never be "mainstream", the undeniable advantages it offers to those who know how to use it ensure that it will continue to be our best kept secret for the imaginable future. </b></p>

Founded by former TV producer and beauty entrepreneur </span><a href="https://rockcandybeauty.com/pages/about" style="text-align: justify;">Kathy Burke</a><span style="text-align: justify;">, RockCandy offers a product with a formulation focussed on vegan, organic, cruelty free and clean ingredients. More than makeup, better than skincare is Rock Candy's ambitious claim, which I was lucky to be able to put to the test in the last few months. </span></p><h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Product Lineup</h3><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6yF79sWmc3s7hia76aFn3VZTANZzzjAI-g9bHTk4ZzQqYDpA5C_SVYKo-gZI_a_YjqFaEb5KTXHIAuywZQOpE6bubggp_cNu9nE62lrt__7klvSeV_tK3yYRYv5M6zF3cehxLekZ005wzyXahwe-hMAC4L29ZSfSK4nxTR4Uo_lOda86TwRSIlnVGA8g/s3800/ROCK%20CANDY%20IG%20SQ.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3800" data-original-width="3800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX6yF79sWmc3s7hia76aFn3VZTANZzzjAI-g9bHTk4ZzQqYDpA5C_SVYKo-gZI_a_YjqFaEb5KTXHIAuywZQOpE6bubggp_cNu9nE62lrt__7klvSeV_tK3yYRYv5M6zF3cehxLekZ005wzyXahwe-hMAC4L29ZSfSK4nxTR4Uo_lOda86TwRSIlnVGA8g/w200-h200/ROCK%20CANDY%20IG%20SQ.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rock Candy offers 16 shades of foundation produced in both a matte and a satin line. The product lineup is rounded up by two blush colors, two highlighers (illuminators) and two bronzer shades.The foundations are available in 7.5, 15 and 30 ml sizes (1/4 oz, 1/2 oz and 1 oz) and the other colors in 7.5 and 15 ml sizes. Also available is a Setting Spray (15 ml or 50 ml) and a 120 ml cleaning solution. </div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The kit that Rock Candy offers is a standard, 3 pressure setting compressor with a generic airbrush. The compressor has a stated maximum output of 25 PSI., 10 LPM (liters of air per minute). The kit comes in a very nice packaging with a few of little extras that will delight the average consumer. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">There is a very reasonably price starter kit option that includes the tools and four foundation colors, and then there are several more purchasing options for the makeup, including a complete line bundle aimed at professionals. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">My experience with Rock Candy</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">I was truly happy to see a new brand emerge in what has been a very difficult period for the beauty industry and the whole world. The great courage and effort that it must take at any time to launch an alternative product deserves even more kudos for the timing in which this effort was carried out. I like how Rock Candy presents itself, and the great care it shows both in the formulation and the packaging. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">As stated,<b> </b>the Rock Candy formula aims to deliver high quality makeup with organic, vegan, cruelty free and clean ingredients. The many certifications the brand went through attest to the quality of the ingredients (posted below). The formula is of course water based and very rich in plant based components. It has a light but rich consistency and a viscosity that is low enough for the product to run through any airbrush set up without any worries. The coverage is comparable to other water based products in the market, while the two available finishes differ significantly. The matte formula is a luminous matte that creates a very natural (if not completely indetectable) result. The satin line has a texture that is very similar to silicone based products, it is more obvious on the skin and is definitely dewy, which is excellent if you like this finish. The color range is excellent for light to medium skin tones, while it probably could use an expansion of a few additional darker shades for deeper tones, but don't forget that as always with airbrush makeup, every shade can be mixed to achieve near -infinite color combinations.</p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C_ygkGlFJqI?si=DpR00Z06cyVe5pLw" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div></div></span><p style="text-align: justify;">Several reviewers have found issues with the staying power of the foundation and the texture. I can concur that the transfer and rub resistance of the products as applied with the Rock Candy airbrush kit is below what we have come to expect from airbrush makeup standards, especially for the Satin line, but (and it is a huge "but") we can't forget that the natural and vegan formulation must impose a slight compromise. Moreover, these problems are easily corrected with the use of the Rock Candy setting spray and a setting fine powder (Rock Candy is about to launch its own). Having tested the products with different tools, I have come to believe that this brand's choice of compressor and airbrush, while perfectly fine for the general consumer, may not be up to standard for professional use. The products performs a lot better when applied in very light layers at a higher pressure than the Rock Candy compressor is able to produce. With a finer nebulization, the Rock Candy formula can give its best results, and become a very valid alternative for those who wish to use on themselves, or offer their clients, a formula of such high standards. </p><p>I would definitely encourage my fellow airbrush artists to give this product a chance, as it can become a very good asset for a makeup artist who works with a more natural minded clientele. Another product I would encourage fellow muas and personal users alike to try are the blush, highlighter and bronzer tones. These have beautiful tones, great pigmentation and sparkle, and very good resistance too, so much that they can be used as eyeshadows with no problems, like I did in the featured video tutorial. I definitely hope that Rock Candy will expand on the shade range available for this product in the future. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Rock Candy INCI (ingredients) and Swatches</b></h3><p

style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.maqproshoponline.it/"><b>MaqPro</b></a> is a French company that has been producing high-end professional makeup since the 1970's. The brand started as a collaboration with legendary French makeup artist Michel Durelle ad the perfume and beauty producers Nine and Pierre Brunner. Today the company continues as a family business led by the couple's children, and it manufactures its vast catalogue of products strictly in France. In the last few years MaqPro has become very well known among professional makeup artists all over the world thanks to the Fard Crème palettes, the cream, color theory based makeup available in a vast array of shades that allow, with some skill-full mixing, to accomplish a durable and natural looking makeup application on the whole face.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Creamy Air product line</b> was launched in 2020 as the liquid evolution of the Fard Crème product. Creamy Air can be applied via airbrush but also with traditional tools, and like the Fard Crème it is available in a vast range of shades that includes skin tones, bright colors and everything in between, allowing once again for a complete makeup application using only this product. The color list stretches to an amazing 106 shades, which puts this product among the first in the airbrush makeup market for the variety of tones, all available in 10 ml / 0.33 Fl Oz size, </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27sSKZqHHpiG8OcMTeg7JIdIR85U5ArKI38RhzRE6gUwW8m1e7C4AoFlaKbGslRFceVsfJyAZDF-_vJyVRFCzu0swYIoqhnOLrEiznYBGrb7NOipn5wXLeYk-__MUvZw4UXjOvZnI5-ITTi9FgrbgX2vf4p8Q2W2M9hD5q2GD4NtkDVz73GPrFwfl/s5191/CREAMY%20AIR%201%20DSC_1700.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="MaqPro Creamy Air" border="0" data-original-height="3461" data-original-width="5191" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27sSKZqHHpiG8OcMTeg7JIdIR85U5ArKI38RhzRE6gUwW8m1e7C4AoFlaKbGslRFceVsfJyAZDF-_vJyVRFCzu0swYIoqhnOLrEiznYBGrb7NOipn5wXLeYk-__MUvZw4UXjOvZnI5-ITTi9FgrbgX2vf4p8Q2W2M9hD5q2GD4NtkDVz73GPrFwfl/w320-h213/CREAMY%20AIR%201%20DSC_1700.jpg" title="MaqPro Airbrush" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Creamy Air formula</b> has a variable composition depending on the colors, but we could generally call it the epitome of hybrid formulations, as it includes elements such as water, alcohol, glycerine ad various types of silicones. The resulting product'has a very low viscosity, which means that it can be airbrushed with any tool set up and it will run without problems in all the airbrushes commonly used for makeup. Like most silicone based products, Creamy Air does not clog the airbrush, where it can rest without drying up for many hours, allowing you to clean the stylus even the day after application, as I myself have experienced. However, as an airbrush educator I would still advise users to clean their tools as soon as possible after application to avoid all risks. Another trait in common with silicone based products is Creamy Air's softness and moveability, allowing for touch ups up to several minutes after application.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nz8wXQuetm8" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div><b>The Creamy Air Finish</b> is luminous and very natural. Of course the application can be matted down with a light pass of HD powder if needed. The durability of the application is excellent, and so is its water and rub resistance, so much so that some distributors are selling skin tones sets recommending it especially for tattoo cover. Creamy Air feels very light on the skin, and just like the best airbrush makeup products it offers great coverage without looking obvious. You can see what I am talking about with your very own eyes in the video tutorial I am enclosing here, which I am proud to be able to call the very first to demonstrate a total look with this line, including eyeshadow and eyebrows. </div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw6GCp4xxug3KTM-m9nuliGYr5GJtM_bZPqbc1-Iy8O7UFw8UC_Y09Ozo0_qQUprZMUvH1cWV0hW4mzC820wCwe6MpIfKjItb5o92PeYI2-hjAAyxzDIof6l9IrgNgQrAZmyy8VNrnxjPJGuzWlaD3RPA2AG595Dful1ZFZQDmP4TSLedn1ZvOy9rn/s3011/MAQ%20PRO%20LAVINIA%202%20DSC05852.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3011" data-original-width="1693" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw6GCp4xxug3KTM-m9nuliGYr5GJtM_bZPqbc1-Iy8O7UFw8UC_Y09Ozo0_qQUprZMUvH1cWV0hW4mzC820wCwe6MpIfKjItb5o92PeYI2-hjAAyxzDIof6l9IrgNgQrAZmyy8VNrnxjPJGuzWlaD3RPA2AG595Dful1ZFZQDmP4TSLedn1ZvOy9rn/w113-h200/MAQ%20PRO%20LAVINIA%202%20DSC05852.jpg" width="113" /></a></div></div><div><b>My opinion Creamy Air</b> is extremely positive, and I thing this product places itself very well in the airbrush makeup market. As far a the availability of the line, however, the product is not supported by a very efficient marketing. The many colors are not organised in a clear chart that may help professionals in deciding what to buy, and the packaging itself, with the color number printed in small characters on the back label, makes its practical use and quick selection anything but easy. I am hopeful, however, that the distributors of MaqPro will be soon able to makeup for this shortcoming of the producers of the line, perhaps by offering pre selected kits of colors that may simplify the choice available to the professionals. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>CREAMY AIR INGREDIENTS (INCI):</b></div><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 11pt;">Isododecane, Aqua, Alcohol Denat. -

The product came exclusively in Airpod format, i.e. a pre-filled capsule that would attach to a proprietary airbrush and that could be used until empty without any need for maintenance, giving the customers all the advantages of airbrush makeup without any of the perceived drawbacks, such as tools maintenance and cleaning. The formula was had a very dewy finish and was engineered to be user friendly, so it would remain very malleable after application in order to allow the home user to easily fix any mistakes. It had a very distinctive floral scent, which was problematic for some, including myself, but was already remarkable for its unprecedented coverage and for the fact that it was an all-in-one product, not needing any primer, concealer or color corrector. SilkSphere was reformulated in 2015 to coincide with the launch of what is now the very popular battery operated, palm top device Temptu Air. The shade range was slightly revised and the floral scent significantly diminished, but it remained available only in Airpod format, which meant that you would not be able to use it with a traditional airbrush. </p><p><b>New Release </b>-This year after some wait, no doubt due in large part to the market difficulties created by the global pandemic, Temptu was finally able to update the formula once again and to release it at long last in bottle format, allowing everybody to experience it regardless of their preferred tools. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBpHQlhE-QmZ-137S4K4JLW5yMh8BzSJthOqNfqgUgosGnqY44wRPPywQS1vsuMmUfkCPKMI2BSQ1A6z8J_TmUgt-3oBlwVqFUxFfK86OLjMLCJVWw_OHuh6EMCrSnQe29j9V2QDDUgAVn-QvFFBnX6oHy20YhaAt4Oa7s9nx41QOTQNsBWRRmXbbr_g/s6000/NEW%20SILKSPHERE%201.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Temptu Silksphere" border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBpHQlhE-QmZ-137S4K4JLW5yMh8BzSJthOqNfqgUgosGnqY44wRPPywQS1vsuMmUfkCPKMI2BSQ1A6z8J_TmUgt-3oBlwVqFUxFfK86OLjMLCJVWw_OHuh6EMCrSnQe29j9V2QDDUgAVn-QvFFBnX6oHy20YhaAt4Oa7s9nx41QOTQNsBWRRmXbbr_g/w133-h200/NEW%20SILKSPHERE%201.jpg" title="Temptu Silksphere Foundation" width="133" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-weight: bold;">Range and Formula</b> -The new SilkSphere is available again in 18 proprietary shades that will match any skin tone, with a good color consistency when compared to the previous version. Many of the colors have a very neutral undertone to reduce the need to mix tones, as they were initially created for the Airpod cartridges which did not allow for direct mixing, and this makes using them very easy. Having said that, there are now hues with a decidedly warm or cool undertone as well, so you can achieve any amount of precision needed in your color matching. The finish of the formula is still dewy, however this should not scare anyone who is used to matte foundation, because ultimately the amount of glow will depend on each individual complexion, and because any perceived shine can be easily mattified with the lightest pass of any fine HD powder (such as Temptu's own Invisible Difference). The new SilkSphere feels finer than its previous versions, but still retains its high coverage and its all-in-one characteristic, needing no priming, no concealing and no color correcting in most cases. Probably for this very reason, the formula's texture is a little more obvious than that of thinner airbrush foundations, but it still feels lighter than traditional products and looks perfect on its first passes, achieving a finish that would require quite a lot more work and skill to match using a traditional product.</div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><i>In the video tutorial below I am showing you a step by step total look achieved using SilkSphere in bottle form for foundation and the Perfect Canvas range in AirPod for everything else.</i><br /><div> <div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0_Ut_S0Nbv8" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div> </div></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Silksphere vs other Temptu Formulas -</b>Compared to the other Temptu foundations, Silksphere ranks second to Perfect Canvas for shade selection, first in dewiness and first in viscosity, being the "thickest" of the three, but the difference with SB in this respect is barely perceptible. Lastly, but no less importantly for some, the floral scent is now completely gone, making the product application pleasantly scent free. As for the format, the choice is now up to you. The Airpod capsules allow for perfect dispensation every time, and while decidedly more expensive, the pod system means that you will achieve an optimal result using far less product. The bottle format price is significantly lower, and allows you to use this product with any tool and to mix the shades freely. Temptu's 1/4 oz /7.5 ml starter kits, available for this line in pack of six colors each, mean that everybody can experience this formula with a very reasonable investment. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>My Opinion</b> -As for my personal, unsponsored opinion, I have been a huge fan and advocate of this product for years, and I could not be happier and more grateful for this new reboot. I especially like to use this formula on problematic skin, where I have never needed to color correct or conceal thanks to SilkSphere's exceptional coverage. The extraordinary luminosity of this formula makes it a truly transformative makeup, and the only one that actually does conceal fine lines and rough texture. Because of this its silicone component, I would personally not recommend the daily use of this product on very acneic, irritation-prone skin, but for special occasions there is no other product that will allow you to achieve the same wow factor in as little time and with as little effort, so much so that I like to call SilkSphere "model skin in a bottle".</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Temptu SilkSphere Ingredients (INCI):</b> <span face="Calibri, "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: left;">AQUA,

Should you try?<p style="text-align: justify;">Since airbrush makeup represents niche of the beauty industry, in the public's perception the product often becomes one with the application method. So if you have taken a course with a certain brand, you might be inclined to believe that the experience of airbrushing is strictly defined by what that brand offers and how they taught you to use their makeup. While I fully support each brand in their sacred effort to teach people how to get the most out of their product, I also believe that <b>thinking that airbrushing begins and ends only with one name ends up limiting a makeup artist's view of the technique</b>, and in some cases can lead them to abandoning it altogether. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">In short, airbrushing is a way to apply makeup. That said, makeup for airbrush differs greatly depending on what type and brand you are using, just like painting with brushes is a method, but the colors you can use differ greatly for formulation and finish, and the resulting artwork changes accordingly. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>What you need to know is this</b>: you can create your makeup with whatever product you feel may respond better to your vision, your needs and your client's skin type and expectation. I will not be going into the specific characteristics and advantages of one type of makeup versus another, but you can find a lot of resources on the different types of bases (water based, silicone based and alcohol based makeup) in the many posts on this website, or by visiting our <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/p/blog-page_11.html">Airbrush 101 Page</a>. You can even mix airbrushing with traditional makeup, and while this wouldn't be my choice, airbrush extremist that I am, I have to admit that it works just fine for others. Just as it happens with traditional makeup, the world won't implode if you layer a water based blush on a silicone based foundation, nor will lightening strike if you airbrush your base and then use a traditional highlighter on top. Of course there are some practical (chemical) facts to keep in mind if you want your get the most out of your creativity without compromising the makeup stability or your tools functionality, so please read on after viewing the video here below, which is my latest look airbrushed with two different brands. </p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IGYNK1zPjM0" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div><div> </div></span><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>So here are a few useful tips if you are thinking of using different makeup brands in your airbrush.</b> First of all, make sure that your <b>tools</b> are up to the job. Many brands sell airbrush kits that are exclusively designed to work with their own product, and will stop performing well if you try and us another, and you may also void the brand's warranty by doing so. The main divide is between silicone and water based makeup. The latter is usually thinner and needs less pressure to be sprayed correctly, so many brands that sell it offer smaller compressors that have a maximum output of 18-20 PSI, and airbrushes with a more specific build, airflow and nozzle. Silicone based makeup is usually thicker, so it requires a compressor that is able to go up to 25-30 PSI and an airbrush with a nozzle size of .35 up to .5 mm width. To airbrush both types of makeup, you therefore need a compressor that lets you regulate the pressure output between 2 and 30 PSI, and ideally an airbrush with a .35 nozzle. Before you ask, the <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2013/09/airbrush-makeup-single-action-vs-dual.html">"single action" vs "double action"</a> argument is moot, as this does not make any practical difference on the end result. I personally much prefer continuous airflow airbrushes (often wrongly called "single action"), and most double action airbrushes such as those from the ubiquitous Sparmax brand (used by brands such as Temptu, GraFtobian, Kett, Airbase and many other) can be converted to continuous flow by a simple modification of the air valve that you can do at home (see <a href="https://justinlow.com/articles/convert-double-action-airbrush-to-single-action">this link</a> for more info). As far as tools maintenance goes, most airbrush flow problems are created by conflicting formulas that form clogs in the airbrush body or nozzle if they haven't been cleaned appropriately when changing products. To avoid the problem altogether it would be ideal to own an airbrush for each makeup type you intend to use (one for water base, one for silicone, and one for alcohol). If you can't -or don't wish to- do that yet, you can use this very simple cleaning procedure: </p><p style="text-align: justify;">-Step 1: clean the visible residue of the formula you just used with its specific cleaner or with a multi purpose cleaner.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">-Step 2: before introducing the second formula, use a few drop of cleaner for the formula you are about to use to prime your airbrush.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>So now that you are clear about the appropriate tools and cleaning procedures, how should you go about using different brands for a makeup look?</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, here you have much more freedom than you think. You've been made to think that silicone and water don't mix, which chemically speaking of course is true, however silicone based products in most cases are actually water/silicone hybrids, the first ingredient on their INCI (i.e. ingredient list) being water. The only thing that might happen is that the end result might be less durable in the long run, but it should still be perfectly viable. I often like to do eyes with water based products and foundation, blush and contouring with silicone based. This doesn't present any issues as I am not layering one type of makeup directly on top of another. When you do want to do that, for example you want to use a water based blush and a silicone based foundation, I would put the water based product on first, and the silicone after, but that is not written in stone, and also depends on the brands you use. If you wish to do part of your makeup with traditional methods, I would of course use whatever product you airbrush after any other traditionally applied, in order to maintain the perfect airbrushed finish on top, and that, together with the old "less is more" adagio, is pretty much the only iron clad rule regarding makeup, at least in my opinion. Finally, some students at my classes always ask me if they can mix products of a different base in the airbrush cup. This is something I would avoid for the consideration expressed above, and the fact that you might create an unsprayable goop that will be quite hard to clean from your equipment. Having said that, if you feel the need to experiment that way you can of course try. Just don't forget to let me know how it went...</div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>The Airbrush Makeup Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15376725899504676813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784506669319046556.post-54327972875245003732021-07-06T11:36:00.002-07:002021-07-12T09:50:51.594-07:00Graftobian GlamAire & F/X Aire Airbrush Makeup Kit Review -With Video Tutorial<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-weight: bold;">The GlamAire and F/X Aire lines</b> are so extensive that approaching a
color choice can seem a bit daunting to the novice. An amazing aspect of the
foundations is that every color also exists in cream form in Graftobian's
celebrated HD Crème Palettes, so if you are familiar or have access to that
product, choosing shades for your airbrush collection should be very easy.
There are also three very convenient sampler packs, the GlamAire Beauty sets,
which feature five shades from each group (Cool, Warm and Neutral),
accompanied by a plastic palette with the corresponding five shades in cream
form. These will make a great starter set for beginners, who will appreciate
having the cream foundations to use on parts of the
face that maybe a little more difficult to airbrush such as the under eye area. <b>The GlamAire Formula</b> is very fluid and
the pigments extremely fine. This means that your airbrush is unlikely to ever
clog or have any running issues while spraying these products. The makeup is
water based and silicone and alcohol free, so it will feel very light on the
skin, which should be prepped as normal with just a light moisturiser or
ideally a silicone free primer to ensure maximum staying power. The formula is
water resistant and won't budge from humidity or perspiration. Its matte
finish is not too opaque, and the skin will balance everything out within a
few minutes from application. For most shades, a few seconds will be necessary
after spraying for the product to set and oxidize and reveal its true tone.
Because of its lightness and fluidity, the product needs to be sprayed at a
very low pressure and coverage will be achieved by layering several light
passes, so it's important that you don't rush your application and that you
step back between passes to observe what is happening, rather than expect an
immediate result. The reward will be an ultra natural, HD proof finish that you can see on the 100% unfiltered photo right here in this paragraph. </div></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The F/X Aire line</b> is where the fun really begins. This formula is an
alcohol/water hybrid is available in a wonderful selection of shades, from
primary colors to neon tones that will glow under UV lights, to a selection of
skin tones for a more water proof and rub resistant finish and for body
makeup. The percentage of alcohol is so delicate that the colors can be used
safely around the eye area (of course providing that the eyes are kept closed
during application), and they can be mixed without any problems with the
foundation and blush tones of the GlamAire line to create eyeshadow looks that
range from neutral tones to highly pigmented fashion statements. In the
<b><a href="https://youtu.be/gYO-tf0gOAI">video demo</a></b> included in this
review I have even used straight Black to create a fast eyeliner, with no
discomfort whatsoever experienced by my model who has sensitive skin. This
line was of course created for body painting, special effects and body art,
and incredible effects can be achieved by using the wide range of stencils
(the famous Bad Ass stencil line) also produced by Graftobian.

The Walk Around System</b> is the kit that I have used for this application. Once
again I reviewed these tools in my previous article a few years back, but I
can say here that the kit stood the test of time very well, being a solid and
powerful piece of equipment, which can handle not only Graftobian-s own product, but also all the other brands of airbrush makeup as well, allowing maximum creative freedom for the artist. The enclosed battery did eventually die after a
few years and many charging cycles, but you can buy a replacement on
Graftobian's website, or if that should be problematic (I live in Europe and
batteries don't ship well overseas) keep in mind that the casing houses a
standard battery pack that can be easily replaced by a dedicated store or
electrically gifted friend. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Originated in 1978, <b>Graftobian</b> is still a family
run business and a wonderful company with a heart. I am lucky to have met the
current owner, Eric Coffman, who collaborated with luminaries such as Brad
Look, Suzanne Patterson and Mary Erickson (who I am privileged to count among
my friends), to devise products and lines that have become staples in many an
artist's kit at an international level. As unbiased as this review is, I do
regard this company as an essential contributor to the world of beauty, and
personally as a revered part of Americana.

I reviewed the previous version of their pro kit a <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/search/label/Aeroblend" target="_blank">couple of years ago</a>, and now I am happy to have another chance to play with their <a href="https://aeroblend.com/collections/personal-airbrush-makeup-kits/products/aeroblend-pro-airbrush-makeup-starter-kit-1" target="_blank">brand new kit</a>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Aeroblend offers a <b>water blend formula</b> with twenty shades divided in 10 neutral and 10 olive colors. With 20 overall tones that you can mix to create any in between hue, the foundation range is quite extensive and will cater to any skin tone. The foundation formula is 100% cruelty free and vegan, and it is made up of mineral pigments and botanical ingredients such as avocado, white tea and lavender, promising a long lasting, comfortable finish. The foundation colors are complemented by six blush tones, a bronzer and a highlighter with the same core formulation. The Aeroblend formula has a luminous matte finish that results in an ultra natural overall effect. The pigment is buildable to obtain more coverage when needed. The color have very low viscosity which means that they run effortlessly through any equipment and that clogs are virtually impossible. On the flip side, first time or inexperienced users will need to press very lightly on the trigger and use low pressure settings to avoid overspray and wet spots, and should always take their time between passes for the product to properly set. There is also a minimal oxidation process which means that the true color of a shade will sometimes reveal itself a few seconds after it's been applied. All the colors come in two formats: a mini size ( 6ml/.2 oz) for trial and travel, and a full size (30 ml/ 1 0z) conveniently priced at 25 dollars. The Kit options come with the trial size bottles, which is an excellent opportunity to experience the range at a very convenient price. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkj2gFKXupZYxoD92o947O90OyoJjTQuoYfdCJKM9-6-ZvQlmFS4GBk6kyQJ1qmTPio8cOlHDXNIqJtox0Qm26Ywc1v3laJE_ZnitYiVwL3korKvWzaDjezwWsQJr-mX-CBYtuWmp_per8/s2048/AEROBLEND+KIT.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Aeroblend Pro Kit" border="0" data-original-height="1638" data-original-width="2048" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkj2gFKXupZYxoD92o947O90OyoJjTQuoYfdCJKM9-6-ZvQlmFS4GBk6kyQJ1qmTPio8cOlHDXNIqJtox0Qm26Ywc1v3laJE_ZnitYiVwL3korKvWzaDjezwWsQJr-mX-CBYtuWmp_per8/w320-h256/AEROBLEND+KIT.jpg" title="Aeroblend Airbrush Makeup Kit" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">The <b>new tools</b> offering by Aeroblend is an elegant, sleek compressor with a tactile function that allows you to switch between three fixed pressure output levels with just a tap. The compressor is more than powerful enough to spray all of the products in the Aeroblend range, and then some. I would say without a doubt that you can use any water based formula in the market without fear of clogs or mechanical fatigue, while it may not be ideal for some thicker silicone based formulas. The airbrush is a continuous flow, all metal parts custom made applicator with a nozzle that once again is more than efficient for the Aeroblend formula. The new Aeroblend cleaner is more than enough to keep the airbrush in perfect shape and running well for a very long time without any need for deep cleaning. </div><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The tools on sale are the same for every kit composition, what makes the difference between the <a href="https://aeroblend.com/products/aeroblend-pro-airbrush-makeup-starter-kit-1" target="_blank">Personal and Pro kits</a> is the number of colors included. The personal option comes with four shades of foundations and a color match guarantee, so you can choose with peace of mind. The pro version of the kit however comes with all the shades in the range and with a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so for just a few dollars more it's definitely the most attractive option. </p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ni5an7vK8Qw" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to showcase as many of their colors as possible I did a full face look using exclusively Aeroblend for both foundation and eyes, taking some shades from the blush range. While these products weren't designed to be used as eyeshadows, they do perform rather well with their delicate, easy to blend pigmentation, and I can only hope that Kiralee and her team will want to expand the color range including some matte and shimmer shades for eyes and a couple more options for eyebrows. </div></span><p style="text-align: justify;">With very reasonable overall prices, free shipping for order over 35 dollars and many special offer through their mailing list, affordability is definitely an amazing advantage that this company offers, giving both personal and pro users the chance to try out a high quality product with just a small initial investment. I personally am a big fan of Aeroblend and wish this brand every success.</p>The Airbrush Makeup Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15376725899504676813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784506669319046556.post-4551556114222717612021-02-09T08:46:00.000-08:002021-02-09T08:46:00.681-08:00Airbrush Makeup Hall of Fame: Interview with MHB creator Marc Harvey<div class="separator"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBiwmQadj4AT4LCIh511BTSq4PsIlgfTpRIyY9mdpqFaIRAEjcPorWBcnK0AuxL1DBmpsmXpADbGhl9lEqptxK0viNjz41VBxn84HhCiu0JTGX9cn2LVBYnrFYIxJazhrNU-PUWPo8Lmp/s300/Marc+Harvey+Hall+of+Fame.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="MARC HARVEY AIRBRUSH MAKEUP" border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNBiwmQadj4AT4LCIh511BTSq4PsIlgfTpRIyY9mdpqFaIRAEjcPorWBcnK0AuxL1DBmpsmXpADbGhl9lEqptxK0viNjz41VBxn84HhCiu0JTGX9cn2LVBYnrFYIxJazhrNU-PUWPo8Lmp/w200-h200/Marc+Harvey+Hall+of+Fame.jpg" title="MARC HARVEY AIRBRUSH MAKEUP" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When I first
became interested in airbrush makeup, back in 2011, </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Marc Harvey</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> was one of the
first artists I found in my research. Marc was then spokesperson and lead
educator for </span><a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2013/11/airbrush-makeup-how-to-eyeshadow-with_1.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank"><b>Luminess</b></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, a consumer oriented airbrush makeup brand that relied
heavily, as it still does now, on televised infomercials for its promotion in
the USA. While I didn’t purchase the product, I found Marc’s enthusiasm
contagious and his lively presentations highly informational and entertaining.
After his long stint with Luminess, Marc left to create and devise the makeup
line for </span><a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2018/05/elementwo-airbrush-makeup-kit-review.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank"><b>Elementwo</b></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, a brand created by airbrush manufacturers Sparmax which is
popular in many Eastern</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">countries and
available in the US and Europe as well. After this experience, Marc decided to
create his own product line called </span><a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2020/12/is-airbrush-makeup-ready-for-ultra-hd.html" style="font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank"><b>Marc</b> <b>Harvey Beauty</b></a><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> Ultra HD Airbrush Makeup.
This achievement alone is credit enough to inscribe his name in our Airbrush
Makeup Hall of Fame, a space that celebrates the creators and the most
influential artists in this medium.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I
was very happy to review his product line, and I am honoured and delighted to
ask him a few questions on our favourite subject.</span></div><o:p></o:p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-What
inspired you to become a makeup artist, and when did you decide that makeup was
going to be your career?</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I have been
an artist all my life. I paint, sketch and do graphic design. I decided to make
makeup a career when I was 23.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-You started
in airbrush makeup when the public at large was just beginning to become aware
of it. How did you first become involved in airbrushing? </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">From my
background in painting, I was very familiar with airbrushing. I started using
airbrush with my brides and model agency clients. I would have to do 30 looks
in one day, so the airbrush came in very handy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-What made
you choose airbrush makeup as the focus of the bulk of your career?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It really
chose me. Luminess Air was looking for a Global Artist that had worked with all
skintones and had a background in marketing as well. The goal was to help
everyday women see that they could airbrush themselves and look like the
celebrities and models I was working on at the time. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ_IH9wH55kaHESjqK8kswLcGrwsKdfIbsS6zGGOA5JiMrMe6OQ2R2xNwLFBaQNOuzCXdv4cMls1gQm1NEHTuhfvC0MXJbVE_t1RfF38AouTtRAUk2GARcHqS_nKcjk1bZP0K1lwwVAbSI/s320/Marc-Harvey-Feature-Model-1.jpg" width="320" /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-You’ve been
instrumental in the promotion and/or creation of three major airbrush makeup
brands: Luminess, Elementwo and now your very own MHB Cosmetics. What is the
most memorable thing you learned from each of these experiences?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">All three of
them helped me to realize to always do what you love. At my core, I am a
creator. Each brand I worked with or created helped me to hone my ability to
understand what clients want and need from a product. My brand is ever evolving
and is still a work in progress. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-What makes
the MHB Airbrush formula different from all the others?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Versatility.
My product is the only product that you can actually use a concealer under or
over. You can use any powder over. You can build without it looking cakey. I
also believe it gives the most natural coverage. You can also sheer it out with
your favorite water based toner or my rosewater for a more light, zero makeup
look. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-The MHB
airbrush range at the moment offers an extensive foundation line plus more
colors for blush and highlighters. Do you see an expansion of the line in the
future to include more colors, perhaps a dedicated eyeshadow selection?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">I will be
adding more highlight/shimmer pigments spring of 2021. AND I’m doing a line
specifically for POC launching for Holiday time. I will also do a pigment line
that can be used for whatever the artist wants to use them for.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>-MHB also
includes several innovative skin care products. Would you tell us more about
those, and the philosophy behind them?</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

create products that I loved using and that over the years I would use to prep
my clients skin before makeup application. I used every organic skincare
product I could get my hands on in Sephora. I would try them on myself, then
use them on my clients. I learned ingredients really well over the 13 years of
me doing makeup, so I knew that when and if I ever created a skincare line, I
would know what ingredients worked great. 3 years ago I pulled the trigger and
created MySkincAir Organics. I launched 2 years ago and it is currently in
Hilton Hotels and BodyBrite Spas around the country. The name </span><a href="https://myskincair.com/" style="font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank">MySkincAir</a><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
(pronounced My Skincare) is exactly the feeling and philosophy behind the
brand. I wanted everyone to feel a connection to the brand as I really took the
time to make sure I educate clients on each product and its ingredients when
you go online looking for a product for your particular skin issue. It is
fragrance free, sulfate free, vegan, phthalate free and cruelty free, organic,
skin loving ingredients that give your real results. Also, the “AIR” in
skincare has a dual meaning. AIR , because the core product is the Oxygen
Cleanser. Oxygen=Air. And, A.I.R is an acronym for Anti Inflammatory Response
technology. Every product in the line targets inflammation by having a
proprietary blend of natural anti inflammatory ingredients in them.
Inflammation is the root of all ailments and issues in our body, including the
skin.</span></span></div><p></p>

think is the greatest misconception that keeps more makeup artists and

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s hard to
do. This is just a hurdle that will unfortunately always be there. Also, that
it is the only product you have to use if you use it. Many don’t realize that
it can actually just be another product in your beauty arsenal for you to use
alone or in tandem with other complexion products. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

free of drama, fake personas and “look at me I’m so rich and fabulous” BS. Just
being myself and answering questions like I do for my clients when they book
me. I want to become everyone’s favorite beauty guru for makeup and skincare on

After that experience he created another brand called Elementwo that is popular on the Asian markets, and finally he moved on to create his own brand, <a href="https://www.marcharveybeauty.com/" target="_blank">Marc Harvey Beauty</a>, which debuted just a few years ago and which offers a range of products for airbrushing, a series of skin care products and some traditional makeup complements for eyes and lips. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.marcharveybeauty.com/face/airbrush-foundation-2/" target="_blank">This new airbrush line</a> offers a foundation range with 20 colors catering to every skin tone and every ethnicity, plus 4 shimmer colors, six blush tones and two bronzers. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The airbrush products are available individually on the website in .5 oz (14 ml) bottles, or as trial bundles of .25 oz (7 ml) bottles that are also offered in a Starter Airbrush kit combination with a compressor and airbrush package. This review will concentrate on the makeup, as I have not received the tools, however I can confidently say that given its light texture and high fluidity, the makeup can be successfully applied with any and all beauty airbrush systems out there, regardless of the brand. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In line with Marc's passion for skin care, this water/</span>alcohol<span style="font-family: inherit;"> hybrid airbrush formula is rich in botanical ingredients that include</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px;"> cucumber, green tea, rosehip oil extracts, neroli, jojoba and orange peel oils and witch hazel. These are preserved in a water base with a 14% presence of organic alcohol, which serves both as preservative for the other elements, as an astringent, and to ensure the makeup's durability once applied. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The airbrush makeup line is called <b>Exclusive Air Ultra HD</b>. The name is interesting enough, because it implies that the product is natural looking and imperceptible enough to hold up to the Ultra HD camera. From a professional stand point, this means that the makeup should offer efficient coverage without creating any texture, which is the claim of most airbrush brands out there. So, does the product live up to its own name? In short, yes it does, and the results are excellent. You can view how I applied to obtain the look in these photos and read my pro tips in the video tutorial included here, then read on for my own thoughts and opinions on this formula.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pI9Wh6Gl_wc" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><div><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The formula is the thinnest, least viscous product I ever put through my airbrush. After only a pass it's hard to see any difference at all in the skin, but right here lies its beauty: you can build the application very slowly and subtly, zooming in on more problematic areas first and then using wider, more far away passes, and you hardly ever run the risk of creating unsightly concentration of product (hot spots). All you have to do is take a few seconds and a virtual step back from the process between passes in order to assess how your skin is changing. Once you have reached the desired coverage, you will be amazed by the total lack of texture on the skin. You will see the skin concealed and improved, without feeling or seeing the presence of virtually any product at all, and there will be zero highlighting of problematic areas, even of the fine skin around the eyes. While the airbrush product can be integrated with traditional concealer either under or over the airbrushed application, it is my experience that with careful layering you will not need any concealer at all, and as an added bonus you will not have to fear slippage in finer lines throughout the day. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LzKiEwkrQKHL_K7N7rdfg6Fk5EH10tPUp4XYvml9o99aB_0aybRAkrkXm20z0jWI0HhRihFLfR13NSusPkeGLSxYlyLyk7kzvAHRoN5iu94GK5gOb6XLry-NWFLuxkCe-Vw-H5ZRv20V/s2048/MAME+SQ+MARC+HARVEY+FROM+_DSC9738.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LzKiEwkrQKHL_K7N7rdfg6Fk5EH10tPUp4XYvml9o99aB_0aybRAkrkXm20z0jWI0HhRihFLfR13NSusPkeGLSxYlyLyk7kzvAHRoN5iu94GK5gOb6XLry-NWFLuxkCe-Vw-H5ZRv20V/w200-h200/MAME+SQ+MARC+HARVEY+FROM+_DSC9738.jpg" width="200" /></a></div></div></span><p style="text-align: justify;">The finish of the product is a delicate matte outlook, which can easily support the use of hydrating finishing sprays on top. The durability is comparable to that of the best, more established airbrush formulas out there. The formula has no added perfume, and a faint scent derived from the natural ingredients will vanish right away after application. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As far as the other complements I was able to try, the bronzer performed just as well as the foundation, and the shimmer colors were absolutely gorgeous, as you can see in the video. I look forward to shooting more content with this line, and I would like to invite you to check back on these pages soon for a very interesting interview with Marc as we induct him in our very own Airbrush Makeup Hall of Fame. </p><p><br /></p>The Airbrush Makeup Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15376725899504676813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784506669319046556.post-2800060696645381412020-12-10T09:48:00.006-08:002020-12-11T08:20:02.856-08:00How to airbrush a full face with Temptu Air and Airpod Pro -with video tutorial<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyLZcmMAO8QAmE5nv8u1-kUer3j4V5V7QKw8DoGOpY3WtOWbG1bfD_u1owxnnKsGzCzjRl7PsYmvhgdTIYRuiB14vGiXkKFwQDXAM-FlFxb_PBICjj0Ik8l1V0yP9TPoC6xGwBaybwbbxl/s1024/TEMPTU+DAKOTA+COVER+NO+GRAPH.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="TEMPTU AIR Temptu Perfect Canvas" border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="1024" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyLZcmMAO8QAmE5nv8u1-kUer3j4V5V7QKw8DoGOpY3WtOWbG1bfD_u1owxnnKsGzCzjRl7PsYmvhgdTIYRuiB14vGiXkKFwQDXAM-FlFxb_PBICjj0Ik8l1V0yP9TPoC6xGwBaybwbbxl/w400-h225/TEMPTU+DAKOTA+COVER+NO+GRAPH.jpg" title="TEMPTU AIR Temptu Perfect Canvas" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">100% Airbrush Makeup using Temptu Air & Airpod Pro</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: justify;">It has been <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2017/09/how-to-airbrush-eyeshadow-with-temptu.html" target="_blank">a while</a> since I talked about airbrushing makeup with <a href="https://temptu.com/pro/airbrush-makeup-kit/airbrush-makeup-machine/temptu-air-kits" target="_blank">Temtpu Air</a>, the ground breaking hand held system developed by Temptu about 5 years ago. This device was launched as a beauty makeup full replacement option for the traditional airbrush systems that have to be plugged to an outlet and are still sporting an air tube. The system can be used with pre filled single color cartriges called AirPods, or with an open top special cartridge called Airpod Pro that can be used like almost like the well of a traditional gravity feed airbrush, and allows the user to mix any color and any formula. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">After five years and still going very strong, Temptu was obviously onto something when they made this system available, many consumers and pros alike have included this device in their makeup kit, while others are more and more curious and above all wonder if this is a valid replacement for bulkier and heavier machines that are far more complicated to maintain. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The whole idea behind the invention of the first line of single color AirPod cartriges back in the mid 2000 was to offer all the benefits of the airbrush application with none of the drawbacks, mainly airbrush cleaning and maintenance. After so many years, I can say that I have been a very happy user of the device, and while it hasn't replaced my traditional airbrush system, which I still prefer for precision and versatility, it has become a precious ally in my own kit, allowing me to save plenty of time in many a tight spot. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jWh4QLrvpg7zf73_L6jDxnUmWCJjcl-cE_cJRBqSZ_rhyphenhyphenheOIS765E_N11QVsaQoKDAYcCN_Y2hvgU1UZGgRCNzVbi2XCldOr5PWTJMyf8a9IcWfPo6vRQuFZci7fW3D_DZVSp-UdlsV/s2048/DAKOTA+1+IG+SQUARE.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="TEMPTU AIR Temptu Perfect Canvas" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5jWh4QLrvpg7zf73_L6jDxnUmWCJjcl-cE_cJRBqSZ_rhyphenhyphenheOIS765E_N11QVsaQoKDAYcCN_Y2hvgU1UZGgRCNzVbi2XCldOr5PWTJMyf8a9IcWfPo6vRQuFZci7fW3D_DZVSp-UdlsV/w320-h320/DAKOTA+1+IG+SQUARE.jpg" title="TEMPTU AIR Temptu Perfect Canvas" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">The first product created with the AirPods, a foundation line called <a href="https://temptu.com/pro/professional-makeup/airbrush-foundation/long-lasting-dewy-foundation" target="_blank">Silk Sphere</a>, is still only available in that format. The product was update shortly after the launch of the Temptu Air applicator, and as far as I am concerned is still one of the absolute best silicone base foundations out there, with its transformative all in one formula that acts as primer, concealer and foundation, and a luminous finish that takes years off even the most complicated skin texture. </div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the launch of Temptu Air, a new foundation line called <a href="https://temptu.com/pro/professional-makeup/airbrush-foundation/long-wear-hydrating-foundation" target="_blank">Perfect Canvas</a> was also created, and made available both in AirPod and in bottle form. Because this formula has a faster setting time than the classic S/B line by Temptu, it lends itself to a more versatile application even on smaller areas and textured skin, and is therefore much easier to use even for eyeshadow, creating subtle and beautiful blends. A short while after the release of the Air, Temptu launched an eye shadow (AirShadow) collection called <a href="https://temptu.com/pro/perfect-canvas-airshadow-starter-set.html" target="_blank">Earth Stone</a>, which featured a wonderfully usable selection of essential neutral and earthy tones. These colors can be complemented by the blush and highlighter colors available in the Perfect Canvas range to create more colorful looks, but now I can't wait for a more vibrant palette that should be released very soon. While we wait for this new color collections, I have played with the available tones to create the look you see in these photos.</p><p>In the <b>video</b> pasted below, I have created a full look using Temptu Air, from eyeshadow, contouring and blush down to highlighter and base. I have not used a single brush for this, not because I couldn't have, but simply to show the full potential of the tools and products. Of course avoiding brushes altogether is also faster, easier (at least for me), and more hygienic, which is a huge plus these days. <b>The video is full of pro tips</b> that illustrate what I am doing as I complete the look. </p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fg5ukIbt1l8" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe></div> <p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">As you will see, I have used the <b>Airpod Pro</b> "open top" cartridge to apply everything. I chose to do this both to be free to mix the colors as I wished, and because the colors in bottle format are decidedly less expensive than their single color AirPod counterparts. The Airpod Pro is easy to clean and maintain. When you first use it, it will need to be primed with a few drops of silicone cleaner in order to get it to perform correctly. I would definitely advice buying a two pack so that you can have a spare one ready in case of temporary issues, and to be able to use a separate AirPod Pro if you wish to use a different based formula with it such as an alcohol base line or a waterbase product. So are the AirPod cartridges completely mainenance free? If you use them often and have a little care, I would say yes. If longer period of time occur beteween uses, however, they may tend to settle a bit and will need to be helped a little. This is not difficult nor lenghty, and with a bit of practice you will have no problems getting them to perform well again and use them up to their full potential. The video below teaches you my tricks in order to achieve just that. </p>

I have used my kit extensively for many intensive tasks, from full makeup video demos to endless color swatching and daily makeup application, and the unit has performed solidly throughout.

I have used the Dinair Cleaning Caps System religiously after every use, and they have been enough to keep the tool in perfect shape, never requiring the removal of the nozzle for deep cleaning or a soak in my trusted ultrasonic cleaning machine. </span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;">Like I said in my first review, the unit is precisely and perfectly calibrated to spray all of Dinair's formulas, and I have never and would never use it with any other brand because I know that this would compromise the performance of the equipment. </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As this winter season seems to be dominated by green hues, I have decided to use my Dinair One kit to execute another full makeup that uses some of the hues available in <a href="https://www.airbrushmakeup.com/makeup/shadows/" target="_blank">Dinair's incredible color range</a>, and you can see the full process by watching the video tutorial enclosed below. I will never understand why this brand is not celebrated more for the fantastic formulas it offers, and specifically for the insane choice it allows when it comes to eye shadows.

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's talk about <b>eyeshadow for hooded and textured eyelids</b>. Is airbrush makeup still an option for these types of features? What special actions should you take to avoid cracking and stamping, and to ensure durability? Here's a simple <b>step by step guide</b> as a complement to my latest video tutorial. I like to keep my videos short and to the points, so I made this guide for those who may need further clarification on the the on-screen directions that you will find in the video here below:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: CENTER;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_EqRk4cdFLI" width="480"></iframe><br /></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 1: Prime the eyelid</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Airbrush makeup is a fine mist of nebulized liquid pigment. As such, oily skin makes it harder for the product to perform at its best, especially in the case of hooded eyelids where the skin folds onto itself creating a potentially problematic crease. To best prime the eyelid, cleanse then moisturise the area with a minimum quantity of non oily moisturiser, then apply a mattifying lotion, and finally prime with the smallest amount imaginable of mattifying primer. By "smallest amount" I literally mean the minimum quantity to cover on your brush or sponge so that it can be dabbed lightly on the eyelid. No visible amount should be left on the skin. If the primer used is silicone based (most primers are) it will not cause any problem for water based products, so long as you didn't exceed the quantities and you layer the eyeshadow in light passes, giving each pass a moment to dry. If the skin of the lid area is particularly oily, a very light dusting of HD (silica) powder will also help improve pigment adhesion and durability. We skipped filming the eye priming part on the video, and went straight to the general face primer, Smash Box Primer Water, which was perfect for our model's skin due to its water like, oil free formula.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 2: Plan the eyeshadow design</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you know how to do traditional eyeshadow on hooded lids, you will know what to do with an airbrush: basically to create an illusion of depth you have to recreate the illusion of a lid crease above its actual natural seat, which is hidden by the over hanging skin. If you are not used to airbrushing color on smaller parts of the face, you can spray only air at the appropriate distance to see where the color will lay: the pressure of the air creates a visible depression on the skin which will help you get accustomed to the direction of the color. Once you have decided where you will apply the eyeshadow, evaluate the potential problems with skin texture: natural creases both horizontal and vertical will have to be opened up for correct application. In order to do that, you may have to gently stretch the skin by raising the eyebrow or the skit at the temple. For finer vertical lines near the tear duct, you can also stretch the area by gently pulling from the bridge of the nose.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 3: Apply color</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this point you are ready to apply the color. Remember to set the pressure at a minimum strength to atomise the color correctly (without visible dots) and comfortably. Actual setting will depend on various factors such as product viscosity and equipment type. Practise on yourself first to ensure you know what you are doing before attempting on someone else. Barely rock the lever until you get a minimal output of color, which you will build up in intensity and coverage with repeated passes. Distance creates the blending, so practice spraying closer and gradually distancing your hand while spraying to create a seamless blend. Remember to dry the color by spraying air only after each layer. If you are stretching the skin to open up folds, remember to dry the color before releasing the skin. For a subtler result, start with lighter colors and use the darkest color for last. When applying on the mobile lid, start from the outer corner, which is always the darkest point. For the lower lid, you can also airbrush eyeshadow creating a very subtle gradient. In order to do this without discomfort for your client, you will need to use a stencil as shown in the video (check the FREE STENCILS page of this website to download a free template and recreate the very one I am using in the video). The technique is totally problem free and much easier than it looks, so long as you are gentle in placing the stencil and always aware of your air flow. If you are using a double action airbrush, always remember start the air away from the face before you get close to the eye area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 4: Final touches</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have finished your main eyeshadow application, have the customer open their eyes and observe how the texture of the skin changes. If you see gaps due to the change in the skin position, as it often happens with mature skin, you can reapply while gently stretching the skin to open up those areas. In some cases, depending on what formula you are using, you may be able to touch up with a detail brush using a tiny quantity of liquid product (a steel palette is essential to pour a drop of pigment in these cases). If you have trouble doing this of course you always use powder product in matching colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always been a huge fan of airbrush makeup for eyeshadow as it offers amazing possibilities for an impeccably blended and super fast application. The formulation of the products you are using will determine the steps to take in the application. Both water based and silicone formulas offer beautifully different possibilities. Unlike powder eyeshadow, which very often must be built up in intensity, airbrush product offer 100% pigment intensity almost immediately, which is why you have to be particularly gentle in layering passes. Practice is essential, but becoming proficient takes a lot less than you think.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How is the beauty industry going to be impacted by the Covid-19 virus?</b> As the world is still struggling to gauge the scale of the pandemic and its implications for the economy, it might seem too early to ponder this question. Yet there is one thing that already appears obvious and tragic: the way we interact with each other is not going to be the same for a very long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a recent post on Facebook, the creator of a once very popular beauty brand posed an interesting question: how many people will want you to touch their face after this? He then proceeded to make an interesting parallel with the aftermath of 9/11 and what that meant for the professional lives of makeup artists in the US, speculating that this current crisis may well have far more lasting implications on a global scale. <b>Will our perception of the importance of self image forever be affected by the long quarantine that we are experiencing?</b> Will working from home and apart become the new norm, and will the importance of appearing in person be dramatically reduced for the foreseeable future?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While it is really too early to tell, the questions are certainly valid and will soon be urgent for a whole sector of our economy both at corporate and individual business level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My own intuition is perhaps obvious, given who I am and what I struggle to represent: <b>I strongly believe that now more than ever, airbrush makeup represents a unique opportunity in the face of the challenges ahead</b>. The fact that airbrushing offers the cleanest application available represents a stunning opportunity in the face of future hardship, if you think that an accomplished airbrush makeup artist can execute a whole makeup almost without touching the face -and yes, that can include eyes down to the eyeliner and eyebrows.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For those who stumbled upon these page and are wondering what I am talking about,</b> in airbrush application the makeup goes from the bottle to the airbrush reservoir, and is then sprayed on the skin without any need for brushes, sponges and most importantly fingers. With proper care there is no cross contamination whatsoever and every client receives the benefit of pristine tools and products. Add that to single-use lip and mascara applicators, and you have created the cleanest possible makeup application. You can check any of my videos to see how very little, if at all, I need to touch my model's skin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course I still believe mainstream beauty conglomerates will never give this technique a real chance, due to its learning curve, however small, and its reduced profit margins: in airbrushing, a single airbrush does the job of a whole brush set, and in most cases one product does the job of three or four traditional ones, for example foundation barely needing primer, powder and setting spray.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>However those courageous brands and forward -thinking makeup artists that have decided to produce and invest in this medium, are now faced with a unique opportunity to satisfy a potentially radical change in people's perception: the need for the maximum hygiene standards met by maximum makeup performance.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The whole airbrush makeup industry would not be what it is today if it wasn't for <a href="http://dinair./" style="font-weight: bold;">Dinair</a>.<b> </b>When <b><a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2015/06/guru-profiles-interview-with-dinair.html" target="_blank">Dina Ousley and George Lampman</a></b> created this brand in 1981, they where the first company dedicated exclusively to airbrush makeup, and the first to produce a line specifically for beauty airbrush makeup. The small revolution that they created in the industry continues until today with an incredibly dynamic approach where nothing stands still and innovation is the name of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the past we have covered Dinair's product lines extensively, and we will add a recap again at the end of this post for those who are approaching this brand for the first time, but now let's have a look at what is new for this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Compressor: Portability is the name of the game</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dinair started at the very beginning with a basic intuition: in airbrushing less is more. This applies to everything, from the amount of makeup you use to the size and weight of the tools you apply it with. Dinair's formula is specifically designed to be sprayed at very low pressure and with a lower flow ratio (liters of air per minute). Rather than using a third party manufacturer for their equipment, Dinair has designed and made its proprietary tools. Through the years the kits have become increasingly smaller and lighter, and when those two aspects couldn't be further improved, the machines have become battery operated for unrestricted portability. The flagship, variable speed <a href="https://www.airbrushmakeup.com/personal/" target="_blank">Personal Pro</a> compressor was joined this year by a battery operated version, the <a href="https://www.airbrushmakeup.com/progo/preselected/" target="_blank">Pro Rechargeable</a>, which is only slightly thicker and heavier and which retains the same specs but with the added benefit of the battery. Later in 2019 Dinair introduced its latest innovation: The Dinair One is a tiny hand held, cable and hose free system that is the smallest and lightest of its kind, with a pressure output set at the ideal strength for all Dinair fomulas. I am absolutely in love with this unit, and it has taken since taken the leading role in all my Dinair applications. Please read the <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2019/12/airbrush-makeup-kit-review-one-by-dinair.html" target="_blank"><b>full review here</b></a> and watch me apply a complete makeup with it in the video below.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The One kit came with a surprise: the JX2 airbrush. This latest tool was quietly introduced on Dinair's website shortly after The One launched, and seems to have replaced the previous CX model. When I first saw it I thought this might have been a step back from the CX as the nozzle was a classic screw-on nozzle, while the CX had a conic one that could be taken out and reassembled by simple pressure. The fact is that after three months of extensive use with all the Dinair formulas, my JX2 is running as perfectly as the very first day, and I have not needed to take it apart at all for deep cleaning. The only maintenance I have done is the use of the Dinair Cleaning Caps at the end of each day of use. This consists of two silicone caps that come included with the airbrush, and that allow you to clean it very fast simply by pouring some Dinair cleaner in the airbrush and leaving it to work for a while, or even overnight. The JX2 airbrush now comes with a warning notice that discourages you from attempting to disassemble it. While I am certainly not afraid to take an airbrush apart, I am happy to report that I simply never needed to do that with this one, and this is an absolute first in my airbrush history with any brand.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With three foundation lines, a neutralizer, an extender and a tattoo cover product all declined in 22 matching shades (see below), I thought Dinair had one of the (if not the most) extensive range for skin out there. So when I heard about the addition of a further line called Velvet my first reaction was sceptical. Then I had a chance to try the product, and of course I saw exactly why it makes a great addition to the range. The finish of the Velvet foundation is exactly that: a soft, velvety quality that is right in between the lightness of the Glamour line and the high coverage of the Radiance range. While differences in the HD world of airbrush makeup are of course very subtle, Velvet provides a beautiful coverage that is more forgiving on difficult areas such as around the eyes, where it won't enhance fine lines at all if properly applied.</div>

The shades are not only beautiful, but their formulation has improved to the point of being totally crease free and water and rub resistant. Add the incredible pigmentation, which is buildable from sheer to crazy in a few quick passes, and you have a product which should take the world by storm if there was any justice or sense in the beauty industry. As I endeavour to demonstrate in all of my videos, the possibility offered by airbrush eyeshadow are simply breath taking, and it's a shame that more pro artist won't invest the little practice that airbrush eyeshadow requires to do it justice. Two amazing new collections have been added recently to the Colair Opalescent line: the Crystallized and the Venus collections These include opalescent, semi matte and downright sparkling colors that are simply unbelievable. Among them my all time favorite Venus, part of a selected few shades which sparkle as though they had been infused with diamond dust. This kind of shine is often found on powder palettes and I didn't think it was possible for airbrush, until I saw these shades. While they are produced right on site, not all the colors we mention may be available at some given point. The best way to find a specific color if you are looking for it is to input its name in the website's search field.<br />

</tbody></table>
Every once in a while the makeup world is shaken by an innovation that sets the course of the industry for the foreseeable future. This is true for the world of mainstream beauty brands and it applies just as well in the more specialized, somewhat elusive niche of airbrush makeup. Dinair's new system, aptly named "The One", is the next and in many ways the ultimate step in the move towards portability that has been the goal of this sector for the last few years.<br>"The One" system is an incredibly compact mini compressor that is slightly bigger than an egg, and only slightly heavier, yet it features an impressive and ultra quiet pressure output, a very durable battery, a fantastically ergonomic shape and most importantly, a spring clasp (standard "quick connect") that lets you swap airbrushes in seconds.<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pressure output is that sweet perfect setting that allows you to spray any of Dinair's formulas (all water based) without any problems, achieving perfect atomization even with shades that contain shimmers, which are usually the ones requiring more power in your standard table top unit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The body of the compressor is made of a very attractive black <span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arimo"; font-size: 11.25pt; letter-spacing: 0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: white;">high tech rubber polymer (like a deluxe cellphone case but thicker) </span></span> with a matte, satin finish that is almost velvety to the touch, and a polished Dinair logo on the side that reflects the light and looks almost like silver in photos. There is only one button on the unit to switch it on and off, and as I was saying the output is so quiet that you can use it in a hotel room (or pretty much anywhere else) without fear of disturbing anybody, even if they are sleeping on the other side of a thin bathroom door.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Charging time is about an hour, but you don't have to do any guess work about the time because the charger has a red light that will turn green when the battery is full. The duration of a single charge is quite impressive. When I unpacked my unit I went on using it every day for over a week for base and several tests before I had to recharge it for the very first time. The pressure output does not decrease in a noticeable way as the battery runs out, so you don't really have a warning sign that it will, but you really don't need it anyway as the unit works perfectly even while it's recharging, and the generously long cable that comes with it allows for full mobility.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ergonomically speaking, how you use "The One" depends on you: if you have small hands, you can just hold the airbrush as you would any other and you quickly forget that the mini compressor is there. If your hands are slightly bigger, the mini compressor will come to nestle in your palm very comfortably.</div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: CENTER;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cm6kv0CT_DE" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe><br>
<span id="goog_343595978"></span><span id="goog_343595979"></span><br></div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As far as the airbrush is concerned, "The One" comes with Dinair's newer CX model, more reliable and easier to maintain than any of its predecessors. If you remember to use the enclosed cleaning caps, keeping the airbrush in tip top shape will be a breeze. Should you run into any flow issues however, you will be able to switch airbrushes in seconds and finish your makeup without a glitch.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The One" comes packed in a plain white box with its kit bundle that includes foundation in your chosen shade range and a selection of shade appropriate colors for blush, highlight and eyeshadow. At the moment it is only available as part of a makeup kit, but I am confident that Dinair will make the compressor available on its own for established customers who already use the brand and will want to switch to this irresistible portable option.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The One" represents an immense improvement over the firs limited edition hand held unit that was sold by Dinair a couple of years ago. This new proprietary design is the smallest, most efficient and versatile cable and hose free, palm top system out there. I absolutely love it and it has taken the prime spot on my desk for my Dinair products. In the enclosed video I used The One to realize this complete makeup, using all Dinair colors also from the new Venus Collection and their just released Velvet foundation line. A more detailed review of these products will follow in my next post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<b>Pro Tips</b>:<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arimo"; font-size: 11.25pt; letter-spacing: 0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><br>
<br>-The quicker the compressor is turned off at the end of each makeup step, the longer the battery lasts and the less dry tip. Most makeup builds up sets on the needle tip when the airbrush is only blowing air, between applications and not applying makeup. The on/off button is positioned directly below where the ring finger tip typically rests when holding the ONE.<div>
<br>-Only use the Dinair One compressor with continuous airflow airbrushes. If the airflow is blocked (by an airbrush with the air valve closed such as a standard Double Action) it can quickly result in damage to the compressor, that is not covered by the warranty. </div>
<div>
<br>Author's note: as with all of my reviews this far, this is an unsponsored and unpaid review. I wish to thank Dina Ousley, George Lampman and Dasia Sibrian at Dinair for kindly making this product available to me, and for their invaluable help and insight.<br><br><br><br><br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Airbrush makeup allows for the fastest, most durable and most undetectable tattoo coverage. In the video tutorial below you can see the process carried out mostly in real time. In this post I would like to go a little deeper into the details, but first an <b>important disclaimer</b>: while airbrushing as a technique is much easier than commonly perceived, I would definitely not improvise on others before extensive practice. Attend a class if you can, and if you can't be sure to check these pages for more information that may be useful in selecting the equipment and products that are best for you. </div>
<br />
<b>PRODUCT SELECTION </b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Airbrushing offers incredible coverage that will be practically imperceptible, thanks to the process of nebulization of the foundation. There are many brands that produce makeup that is specifically designed to be used with an airbrush, and that will dry fast and be more durable than traditional brands. My first advice is therefore to use a made for airbrush product rather than try to dilute and spray your normal foundation. Airbrushing traditional products will still save you application time, but traditional formulas will not gain more durability simply by being sprayed. While silicone based makeup will retain its water proof finish, there are specific products created by airbrush brands specifically to cover tattoo, and these are the ones that will allow for the best results. Among these, two are definitely worth mentioning: T<b>attoo Cover by Dinair</b> and the <b>Dura</b> line by <b>Temptu</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tattoo Cover</b> (formerly known as Colair Extreme) is a water based formula that becomes totally water and rub proof once applied. It is truly an extraordinary product that can also serve as blocking concealer on the most severe skin irregularities, as well as latex safe skin color for SFX prosthetic applications. The product is available in a range of shades matching almost every color in Dinair's beauty lines (Glamour, Radiance, Soft Glow and Neutralizer). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Dura</b> line by Temptu is an alcohol based foundation that is available in the 12 shades of the classic S/B line by the same brand. Adjuster colors for color correction are also available, but almost never necessary in that the product offers enough coverage even for the darkest tattoos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other products that can be used successfully for tattoo camouflaging are the<b> Endura</b> line by <b>European Body Art</b>, the <b>Hydro Proof</b> line by <b>Kett</b> and the <b>Nebula</b> line by <b>Kryolan</b>. Non-monetized links to all these brands are available in our <b><a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/p/useful-links_20.html">LINKS</a></b> page.</div>

<br />
<b>HOW TO COVER TATTOOS: A STEP BY STEP GUIDE </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The process of covering up a tattoo is pretty much the same for all the products listed above, regardless of their specific formulation. Each step will have a slightly different duration depending on the product you chose to use. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 1: Shaving the area</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shaving the area you are going to cover is always necessary, even when there are no hairs visible to the naked eye. Even the tiniest, thinnest hairs will create texture unless we shave the skin first. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 2: Cleansing the skin.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A couple of minutes after shaving the area you can move on to cleansing with IPA. This will eliminate any oily residue and the skin will be ready for the application. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 3: Light layers</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you can move on to layering the color in light passes. Color matching before starting is crucial in order to find the shade (or shade mix) that will be right for the skin tone. Don't be tempted to cover the whole tattoo immediately, as this will lead to hot spots and visible product accumulation. Proceed in light passes and keep the airbrush at the right distance. You will see the tattoo fade more and more with each pass, and by working this way you will allow each layer to dry before moving to the next one. As colors oxidize once applied and usually darken, this will give you a better sense of the final result. As I was saying, color correcting is almost always redundant with the products I have listed above. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 4: Setting Powder</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have layered enough passes you can move on to setting the area with HD powder or any fine powder. This will eliminate any residual wetness or stickiness. I advise using a flesh tone powder rather than a white or clear one, as these will leave behind a whitish cast. You can apply the powder by brush and later remove any excess with a setting spray or even water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
</b> <b>STEP 5:Spattering (Optional)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even if the airbrushed coverage doesn't add texture to the skin, its blocking power could create a very uniform effect that might look a little artificial also depending on the color scheme of the skin we are covering. In order to break up this seamlessness a to achieve a more natural result, we can break up the tonality by spattering darker foundation shades (or even blush shades if alcohol based). In order to spatter with your airbrush you simply have to remove the needle and nozzle cap and lower the air pressure to the minimum, then flick the airbrush lever. Of course you will have to be extra careful not to touch the skin with the exposed needle.<br />
<br />
<b>CLEANING YOUR TOOLS AND REMOVING THE MAKEUP</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When working with alcohol based products or with Dinair's Tatoo Cover it is crucial that you clean the airbrush immediately after the application. Failure to do so will lead to a very long, in-depth cleaning of all the pieces later on, because these colors create a sort of stubborn film in the deepest recesses of the airbrush. Removing the makeup from the skin on the other hand is quite simple if you use IPA or lacking that a very oily makeup remover. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
</b> <b>"BEAUTY" CAMOUFLAGE OR SPECIAL EFFECTS?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For best results it is important to keep in mind that covering tattoos for "beauty" purposes is rather a camouflage work, where the primary goal is to prevent the eyes from focusing on what would otherwise be an obvious feature. If your goal is an absolutely perfect coverage that may recreate the exact color scheme of the rest of the skin unto the smallest details, you most likely will not use the technique described above, but rather a a multiple layer spattering of sheer alcohol base colors. This spattering technique is used in Special Effects, and it is not the object of this tutorial. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bristish airbrush makeup brand <a href="https://www.mistair.com/">Mistair</a> was the very first brand <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2014/08/mistair-full-airbrush-makeup-bridal.html">I reviewed on these pages</a> when I started publishing this website. I had met the Mistair team at that year's edition of Cosmoprof in Italy, and as they were the only brand dealing in airbrush makeup at that show I spent quite some time getting to know their products and lines. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today Mistair has a more streamlined yet still extensive product line that includes 14 foundation shades, 8 colors for blush and and highlighters respectively, 7 for eyebrows, and 8 adjuster and corrector shades. There are also a water based and an alcohol based line for body painting, and a very interesting product to create effects on hair called Hairlites. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
All the beauty makeup colors are silicone based. The formula, which I think has been updated since I first used it, is comparable to Temptu's S/B line, but it's lighter in texture and quicker to dry. The foundation has a very natural finish and feels super light on the skin, with buildable coverage that starts sheer and intensifies to full with a few passes. The blush colors are delicately pigmented but can be built up to achieve more intensity as well. The opalescent highlighter colors offer beautiful shades, some of which are duo chrome such as the lovely Cornsilk, pearly white with pink overtones. As with any airbrush beauty product, all the colors can be used for all purposes, and the faster drying time makes them suitable and easy to use on the eyelids to create fast and natural eye shadows. As I didn't have the eyebrow color kit, I was able to fill the eyebrows well with the darkest foundation shade, and the result was very natural and durable, as you can see in the enclosed video tutorial.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The airbrush kit offering from Mistair is currently limited to three models. Starting at 159 British Pounds, The <a href="https://www.mistair.com/onyx-airbrush-make-up-starter-kit-1656.html">Onyx Airbrush Makeup Starter Kit</a> is the least expensive of the three, and is the entry level option. It features a standard compressor with an adjustable airflow, a rubber tube suitable for "plug-in" connectors and a Continuous Flow airbrush, incorrectly described as "single action" on the website. For those who still struggle with the terminology, Continuous Flow means that the air flows out of the airbrush unobstructed as soon as the compressor is turned on, and that you use the lever to regulate the amount of color your are dispensing. This is a mode chosen by most beauty companies and it is perfectly effective and efficient for beauty makeup. The compressor is also mistakenly credited with a maximum working pressure of just 15 PSI, but I have personally tested it with a pressure gauge and have seen that it reaches 20 PSI comfortably, which is a plus. It still isn't particularly powerful and might struggle with thicker formulas, but it won't have any problems with the Mistair products, for which it was intended.</div>

There are several combinations to choose from as far as the makeup bundled with the kit is concerned. The Onyx Starter Kit comes with a custom made packet of colors including four foundation shades (selectable from the fair, medium or deep groups), and one matching blush, highlighter and eyebrow color. Of course the more colors you get the more options for fun and practice you will have, and the more expensive <a href="https://www.mistair.com/onyx-airbrush-make-up-deluxe-kit.html">De Luxe version</a> of the Onyx kit offers more shades, with the same equipment. Like many brands, Mistair bundles its colors in very convenient starter kits, and in this brand's case they are very reasonably priced, so it will be possible to add on to your kit later without hurting the wallet too much. The starter kits packaging has been updated in recent years, and everything looks very slick. Unfortunately they still use the same bottles for their 7.5 ml packs. These infernal little bottles seem to let in air somehow, and after a while you will notice that the aqueous part of the colors decreases even if you don't use them. I suggest tightening the caps of each bottle as soon as you receive them, you will notice that you can twist the caps at least an extra half a turn, which hopefully will slow down the evaporation. Also very annoying are the stickers at the bottom of each bottle, which will come off even before you take them out of the package, making the color identification very confusing. I advise you to glue them on with a strong glue as soon as you receive them. On a much happier packaging note, Mistair has created a <a href="https://www.mistair.com/onyx-carry-case.html">beautiful case for the Onyx</a> with custom molded foam inserts, which are detachable. The case is very sleek and once again reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend it for the sleekest possible look of your airbrush kit. </div>

What is the best primer for airbrush makeup? Where can I buy a silicone free primer? Do I even need a primer with airbrush makeup? These are some of the most common questions I get in my classes and online. The subject is vast, the answer to the questions needn't be. Let's do this!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prepping the skin for airbrush makeup is as necessary as it is with your traditional beauty routine. The general rule is simply to avoid oil based formulas, which would by nature repel or destabilize any liquid that is layered upon them, and use as little product as possible. If your skin is young, supple and blemish free, a simple light moisturizer used a few minutes before application will do. For any other skin condition (mature, oily, dry and so on), the general rule is to find the right balance between your skin care routine and the finish and consistency of the airbrush product you are going to use. If you came to this post thinking that airbrush makeup is one and the same for all brands, you should know that each product varies according to composition and manufacturer, just like traditional makeup does.</div>

<b>Airbrushable primers</b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqRJioY27duYuOHTqU0rx8U9JoJFEkHQ-FulcfEEVapdlpexgw51_ERV44bMJKXBUH2Ev22cVyIV0WhqtNsrobErjeQyTsGQbr3kxXnnzlZWtIww79RvbNg8hcDydajd4L1G-U0pFl6P03/s1600/1oz-BrilliantGlow_FairLight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqRJioY27duYuOHTqU0rx8U9JoJFEkHQ-FulcfEEVapdlpexgw51_ERV44bMJKXBUH2Ev22cVyIV0WhqtNsrobErjeQyTsGQbr3kxXnnzlZWtIww79RvbNg8hcDydajd4L1G-U0pFl6P03/s200/1oz-BrilliantGlow_FairLight.jpg" width="200" /></a>Many brands of airbrush makeup produce their own ready to airbrush primers.These are generally very light formulas designed to moisturize the skin with the best compatibility for the product that will follow. They are mostly water based, such as <a href="https://www.tickledpinkairbrush.com/products/airbrush-moisturizer.html#description">Tickled Pink</a> or Luminess, or might contain a light amount of dymethicone, such as <a href="https://belloccio.com/collections/primer">Belloccio</a>. If you have normal skin and live in a dry climate you may benefit from these formulas and their lightness, however some people might find them a little too thin, and might prefer a more comforting finish. <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/temptu/products/temptu-brilliant-glow-illuminating-primer-skin-perfector-1oz">Temptu Brilliant Glow</a> is a new airbrushable primer which is silicone based and has a much thicker consistency than other products. As the name implies, it adds a very subtle luminosity to the skin, and was created to mitigate the matte finish of Temptu's Perfect Canvas foundation. Because of its density, you will need an airbrush and compressor of the same power as Temptu's, however you can still apply this with a brush or sponge if you have a less powerful machine (such as the ones intended for water based makeup only).</div>

<b>Silicone Free primers</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsQqxgZ7N22EWE16vuEqMFAD6ruT2lhATQj9lDBI70Eo3JXfenmRLIVtgxqJ2FFmcBZh32cjzHCPxrEgaIm0BhJ26eXvHQGqjEvtWzYdZz-TsqnE6meS_iPT7NWxsKDMb4gMSdvtiuNxKE/s1600/BRONX+%252B+TEN+IMAGE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="452" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsQqxgZ7N22EWE16vuEqMFAD6ruT2lhATQj9lDBI70Eo3JXfenmRLIVtgxqJ2FFmcBZh32cjzHCPxrEgaIm0BhJ26eXvHQGqjEvtWzYdZz-TsqnE6meS_iPT7NWxsKDMb4gMSdvtiuNxKE/s200/BRONX+%252B+TEN+IMAGE.jpg" width="150" /></a>What if you want to avoid silicone in your skin care altogether? While silicone is inert and does not cause allergies, some people are sensitive to its prolonged use, meaning they show signs of intolerance such as blemishes and irritation. In these cases, silicone free alternatives will be the only options. While less common, silicone free primers do exist. <b>Smashbox</b> makes<a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/smashbox/products/smashbox-photo-finish-primer-water"> Primer Water</a>, a water based product that can be used for both prepping the skin and as a makeup finishing spray, with a super light consistency. <b>Milk Makeup</b> produces the cult favorite <a href="https://www.milkmakeup.com/hydro-grip-primer.html">Hydro Grip primer</a>, with a more comforting gel like consistency and a more luminous finish, and mostly natural ingredients. If you wish to stay on the natural path, <b>Nurturing Force</b> produces its famous <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/nurturing-force/products/nurturing-force-blot-out-offensive">Blot Out Offensive</a> and <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/nurturing-force/products/nurturing-force-twinkle-not-wrinkle-eye-cream-base-hd-primer">Twinkle Not Wrinkle</a> primers, which we reviewed extensively in <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2015/02/airbrush-makeup-primer-review-nurturing.html">this post</a>. If you are in Europe, two products really stand out. For oily or combination skin, <b>Ten Image Professional</b> <a href="https://tienda.tenimage.es/es/matt-primer">Matt Primer</a> provides a super long lasting matte finish. You can use it on your T zone and even very sparingly on the eyelids to mattify the eyelid and prevent any cracking of your airbrushed eyeshadow. <b>Bronx Colors Cosmetics</b> <a href="https://shop.bronxcolors.com/product/studioline-magic-foundation-primer/">Studio Line Magic Primer</a> has a light, creamy texture, is very moisturizing and provides a lasting luminous finish that will add a very healthy glow to more opaque foundation lines. </div>

<b>Traditional primers</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2prNSb0MhAI2vhzrJbNNTM70MrVxYeJrwRvX6BWpEjjSWKY8Py2dpcQAgFtM4ZlOTxRzAz6nPXt313bFi6r-wt68zAgAPO-BJdXeH-QJanGAG1HDGp4-qqM-KFky6409Quleh5dAHZuMs/s1600/AIRBASE+PRIMER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="734" data-original-width="484" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2prNSb0MhAI2vhzrJbNNTM70MrVxYeJrwRvX6BWpEjjSWKY8Py2dpcQAgFtM4ZlOTxRzAz6nPXt313bFi6r-wt68zAgAPO-BJdXeH-QJanGAG1HDGp4-qqM-KFky6409Quleh5dAHZuMs/s200/AIRBASE+PRIMER.jpg" width="131" /></a>Let's say that my preferred airbrush makeup is water based. Would the presence of silicone in a primer really affect the durability and finish of water based
airbrush makeup? Generally speaking, not really. It really depends on
the concentration of silicone and other plasticizers in the formula.
Personally, I would stay away from super slick formulas such as Urban
Decay's or Benefit, but a the presence of common silicones such as
dymethicone or cyclopentasiloxane in a primer does not affect the finish
or durability, so much so that even the <a href="https://www.airbrushmakeup.com/shop/index.php/skin/skin-care/870-02">skin care</a> sold by <b>Dinair</b> to be
used with their products contains them. British airbrush makeup brand <b>AirBase</b> produces a perfect cross over between the two worlds: <a href="https://www.airbasemakeup.com/perfecting-primer">First Base Perfecting Primer</a> is a Swiss formula with hydrating platinum technology that is slick at first but absorbs quickly to a soft, matte finish that is perfect both for their silicone formula and for any traditional makeup. <b>Temptu</b>'s classic <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/temptu/products/temptu-pro-sb-primer">S/B Primer</a> is a rich, super smooth formula that leaves the skin beautifully soft and mattified, and has the gorgeous light fragrance of its S/B line. It's also reasonably priced, which makes it the preferred choice of many. For the eyelids, regardless of the composition of the airbrushed eyeshadow, <b>Make Up Forever</b> <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/make-up-for-ever/products/make-up-for-ever-step-1-skin-equalizer">Step 1 Skin Equalizer Mattifying</a> is a perfect choice, just use it very sparingly and your eyeshadow will not crack even on textured, very oily eyelids. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Simply put, <a href="https://temptu.com/pro/">Temptu</a> is the world’s most popular silicone based airbrush makeup brand. While I have visited their <a href="http://www.airbrushmakeupguru.com/2014/05/a-visit-to-temptu-pro-showroom-new-york.html">showrooms</a> several times in the past, I have never had a chance to interview the forces behind this amazing company, who seem keen on maintaining a lower profile than most, perhaps in deference to their vision of Temptu as a team based business. <b>Michael Benjamin</b> is Temptu’s CEO, and has been with the company practically from its inception. This very affable, fast talking gentleman is possessed by an infectious enthusiasm for his company, almost as if he wasn’t aware of the legendary status it has gained among the niche of makeup artists who have fallen in love with the brand. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Michael at Cosmoprof 2019, in my own city of Bologna, Italy. I had been waiting for Temptu to take part to this show for years, and almost couldn’t believe when I finally saw their booth on the floor of the massive trade fair. I am especially proud to welcome Michael to our Airbrush Makeup Hall of Fame, where this medium is celebrated for its own culture, and where I like to introduce the creators and the artists that move this culture forward. </div>
<br />
<b>How did the Temptu brand get started, and who created it? </b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sam Zuckerman was the creator of the brand, which has been around since 1980. He did camouflage for the Army in WW2 and he was in cosmetics forever, working for Revlon and all the big companies. He was the very gifted chemist who put the stripes in stripe toothpaste, and for Saint Patrick ’s Day he made the Chicago river green. He was always an independent, then a couple of movie artists approached him for a movie called Tattoo (now a hard to find cult favorite) and that’s how Temptu was born. For the first ten years Temptu was doing temporary tattoos [hence the name of the company], and they were doing it for the movies. At first we would literally screen right onto the body, then we found a way to get the designs onto newsprint, and finally we found a better print paper that was not newsprint paper but a cosmetic paper. We had an amazing process of making temporary tattoos that nobody had, and it became a big Hollywood hit as well as in fairs and theme parks. That’s when we started a business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What about your own background? How did you start in this business? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was in the restaurant business, and one time I had to figure out a way to put tattoos on my waiter-actors for a 1950’s themed diner. There were basically no temporary tattoos on the market except for these first Temptu products. I found them as they were being used in another restaurant in the Theater District called Trixie’s, and through them I got to meet Roy Zuckerman (Sam’s son) at Temptu. I was young and I did not want to be in the restaurant business forever. Roy gave me a summer job at the same time the movie Cape Fear was being filmed, and all of a sudden I am new to New York and I’m alone in a room with Robert De Niro and a makeup artist. I loved this new, weird and eclectic business and that is what got me in. Within a few years we started airbrushing tattoos. Temptu partnered with leading airbrush maker Iwata. We were the first to do airbrush tattoos and that’s how we started learning the airbrush technology.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So the first few makeup lines were created mainly for tattoos…</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes at the beginning in the 90’s Dura was the first line, that is what we used in the movie Tattoo, and we kept improving it. Unfortunately Sam Zuckerman passed away in the 90’s, but until then he used to grind the paint and the pigment himself. It was a crazy little basement lab, we were making paint in our office too… it was crazy, we have grown a lot from those days… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How did beauty makeup come into play then? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took a break from the business in ‘94 to ‘96. I went to Russia and I was back in the restaurant business and when I came back we looked at where we were… We had a business that was very busy in the summer and very slow at other times. We knew that airbrushing had started spreading in the beauty makeup sector with Dinair. God Bless Dina [Ousley], she is the godmother of airbrushing and we give her a lot of credit for starting it. This was before the internet, and a bit later we came out with our own formula that was water based and we launched it at the first ever IMATS as Temptu Pro. It was not just airbrush at the time, it was also special effects products. We produced alcohol based palettes and started competing on that level as well. We were a NY based company and it was hard to break into the Hollywood scene at that time. We were mainly doing NY productions and people in the West Coast were mainly doing West Coast productions, and we thought it was easier that way as we were not stepping on anyone’s toes. That’s what really launched Temptu in ’97. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So you actually launched Temptu with a water based formula… </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it was our original Aqua formula. A makeup artist named Syliva Pichler said we need to make this formula better so she and our chemist Roy started working on it and it was on the bench for two years. If Dina is the godmother of airbrushing, Sylvia is the Godmother of Temptu, so to speak. She is still working with us and I will always have her on my staff as long as she wants to be. She is our master educator and she does great classes in our NY showroom she also helps us on R&D and we love her opinion and people see her as a visionary. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>We enjoy her so much on her live videos…</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She has such a great personality, she was a jazz singer although I am not supposed to tell anyone, she might get mad. She has one of those characters, she can take the stage over, and she is an amazing artist who knows what it takes down to the ingredients, she has always studied everything… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br />
Was it her idea to start with silicone based line?</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’m not sure where it came from. I think it came from Hollywood, but at the end of the day I do not really like focussing on one ingredient so much. Water is an important part of our formula too. I see a lot of water based companies that have silicone and in the end it’s about emulsions and blending ingredients. We have more water than most in some of our formulas. For me it’s more about pro performance, and that is the inspiration rather than the ingredients. That is was Sylvia and Roy ultimately achieved for the company, and that’s when we became famous. When SB came out in 2002 we became known for creating a superior product. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>S/B was a game changer</b>… </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes it put Temptu on the map of airbrush makeup and ultimately beauty makeup became our main focus, while special effects and tattoos remained in the line. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: CENTER;">
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xn6eEPcPe5w" width="530"></iframe> <br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<b> You have been sharing the work with your wife and partner, Samantha Mandor... </b><br />
<br />
Yes she is my wife and business partner and her brother Greg is my business partner as well. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So how are your roles divided, I know she was behind the design of latest Temptu Air hand held applicator… </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She is the boss lady; she raised my kids and runs the business with me. She is book smart and she keeps things tight and organized and so does Greg who is our CFO and COO. We consider Sam our chief marketing officer, and they call me CEO but I am like that wacky guy… I am like Roy Zuckerman who comes up with a 100 ideas. But in truth we all collaborate well together. And not just Sam and Greg and myself, but all the employees as well, as we see them all as partners in this business. Sam is the one who holds everything together; she is the heart and soul of Temptu. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Is there a turning point or main event the defined the shape of the business?</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The movie Stepford Wives. I think SB was never better used in the early days than in that movie. We create makeup that can be used by hand or air and people use it in both ways. In Stepford Wives we used it by hand on the body and by airbrush on the faces, and if you look back at the movie the women’s skin looked perfect, like porcelain. Cape Fear with Robert De Niro was the defining moment for our tattoo Dura line, and Stepford Wives was the turning point for our S/B line. We were very honoured to be part of both of these movies that put us on the map in the airbrush makeup world. I feel proud that we have given makeup artist the ability to work faster, market themselves more easily and charge more. Temptu has established itself for giving great complexion and that is our foundation. We have always had our in-house chemist going back to Sam Zuckerman. Our makeup is beautiful however you put it on, and airbrush gives you options as to layer it, and have the blush underneath the foundation as well as highlighting. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b><br />
What do you think is keep airbrush makeup from going mainstream?</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think it is an educational problem, people being intimidated by the product and not wanting to a learn a new thing, but on the other hand professionals really get it after they see the finished product. I think that if consumers could only see how easy it is… I watch my wife put in on in 15 seconds in the morning and it speeds thing up for her, as she takes 20 minutes for her hair... We are at the Cosmoprof right now and we were just awarded the Cinderella Effect prize, which is indicative of the fact that people want instant results. I don’t think there is a faster way to better complexion than with Temptu, it takes only 15 or 20 seconds for a light to medium coverage and this is what we need to keep pushing out there the in the marketing world. We need to promote the idea that People need not to be afraid to learn something that is quite simple to use, as well the difference that airbrush makeup looks so natural. We are also happy with the Perfect Canvas line. It is the perfect combination of makeup and skincare. I always say the S/B is the mother, and Perfect Canvas the daughter who went to university to get a skincare degree. After using Perfect Canvas people feel their skin is healthier, and we have clinical studies that show that. I think that is the future. We also have a new product that has skin care properties that is called Core 7, and if you use it consistently it has wrinkle reducing properties. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tell us more about it.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Core 7, the number stands for the seven signs of aging. It’s a new product that we will come out with in the fall. We want people to take care of their skin, we want people to use less makeup, based on the idea that I think the less is more when it comes to makeup. A lot of people want to see the makeup they apply, but as Sylvia says, if you can see it you’ve put too much on. We want to promote the idea of healthy people with healthy skin who just add a finishing touch. As a brand we want to hear from the artist, the artist has always inspired us and that is why we are the brand we are today. Silvia is an artist and it is just not her but she was probably inspired by artist as well, but we do what the artist want, we took a ten pound compressor and make it into 8 ounces and made it portable because that is what artists want we want them not to have a heavy bag so we are always inspired by the artist and that is really the vision we have for the company. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>As a teacher I see how airbrush makeup changes people’s perspective on makeup. When a product is as effective as yours it literally changes peoples working life. Are you aware of the love that surrounds your brand and how does it make you feel</b>? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is humbling to me and ultimately it is a validation of our effort. We are working really hard and we are not a big corporation that you can find in all the stores. We are a little entrepreneurial company that is working hard to be inspired by artists, trying to do what they want and take it to the next level for them. Our job as a brand is to focus on pros while waiting for the consumer to catch on, and the “prosumers” that have caught on, God bless them… when you hear that affirmation from people using it means a lot me. It means we are on the right path. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How do you see with the future for Temptu? </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I feel that with Temptu or every small company, every year is a new year and you hope you do well and you have to keep moving forward, the forces in this world are very competitive, so I am just honoured that we have been in business this long and we keep doing what we’re doing. We are the Little Engine that Can, and we do need to transform ourselves as we move forward. Right now we may be the airbrush beauty authority, but we want to be the complexion authority, and we want to keep working on products to this end. We are open to everything. As ideas come to me, or artists come to me with ideas, I take everyone seriously and I am ready to listen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was a pleasure and an honor to meet Michael and his team, and I hope to see him again soon in New York. As we part, I take pride in telling him that Temptu need not “want” to be the complexion authority in makeup. To the growing number who use their game changing products, they already are.<br />

</tbody></table>
Very shortly after I started publishing the Italian version of this website, I received a call from a makeup artist asking me to teach her the technique. I was both flattered and surprised. I had started posting about airbrush makeup out of a simple consideration: the web was lacking a truly independent, comprehensive and in-depth source of information on this aspect of makeup. I decided to fill in the gap and share what I knew and what I was still learning, trying to produce the kind of reference bible that I would have liked to find for myself when I first became interested in airbrushing. I mentioned the "Italian version" of the site because Italy is where I live most of the time. Of course if I wanted to have a broader audience I knew I also had to publish in English, which is why you are reading this very page.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Back to that first phone call, the girl's name was Angela, she was a Cosmetologist and a makeup artist, and had heard about the technique but couldn't find a course that seemed reliable to her. I told Angela that I would be happy to teach her, but in order to make it worthwhile for me and not too expensive for her, perhaps we should try to put a small group together. Flash forward to a few months later, and my very first class was formed. I had prepared a program and a manual, but of course I was almost more scared than excited at the idea of teaching a bunch of makeup artists. After all my own background was more in the performance field than strictly in makeup. Yet I couldn't -still can't- contain my enthusiasm for airbrushing, since it had completely changed the way I used to do makeup and it had done so for the infinitely better.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: CENTER;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UiRcN90AkZA" width="515" xn6eepcpe5w=""></iframe><br />
<span id="goog_343595978"></span><span id="goog_343595979"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I decided from the start that I wanted to teach this discipline in all of its aspects and with as many brands and formulations as possible, in order to give a truly objective idea of its potential. Each students would learn basic application techniques first, then experiment on themselves and on each other with the different brands. While working out a deal with a single manufacturer would surely have been easier and possibly much more financially rewarding, I always thought that it would be tantamount to trying to teach traditional makeup with one single brand as if it was the only one available and the best one in every aspect. We know this would be absurd for traditional, so why should we apply it to airbrushing? The final results of an airbrush application vary distinctively depending on the formula (water based, silicone, hybrid or alcohol), and on the brand that is being used. I am not discounting the importance of single-brand training of course.That remains the best way to get to know a certain line in depth, and there's nothing as exciting as learning directly from the creators of the product. However, since those weren't available anyway in my country, I decided to offer a multi-brand approach as this was the best way to promote the idea that airbrushing is not a novelty or a marketing gimmick, but a whole new and very effective way of approaching makeup, and that it can be easily integrated with traditional techniques but also replace them altogether if one is so inclined.</div>

I always say at the beginning of the class that I am going to treat the group as if they had decided to throw away their brushes, and that in order to show the medium's full potential we will be doing absolutely everything (except inner waterline) with their airbrush. They always look to me as if I was crazy, but they inevitably leave with a new perspective. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is inevitably what has happened since that first group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their response was both enthusiastic and excited, and word was quick to spread. Five years later I am not only teaching classes that I organize directly, but many of the best beauty academies in my country have taken an interest in what I do and have started hiring me to teach courses for their own students, whose feed back is invariably and overwhelmingly positive. Teaching has become a substantial part of my calendar, and it has given me the perfect excuse to continue obsessing with any new product being launched by the various brands. After all, if I am to be the "Airbrush Makeup Guru" I have to be up to date, don't I? At least this is what I tell myself any time I am about to spend a small fortune in makeup.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fact is, teaching me has made me immensely better as a makeup artist. The process of explaining techniques to my students, and that of exchanging opinions and information with them, has allowed me to learn almost as much as I have taught.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so now you know the reason why there are hiatuses, and sometimes long periods of time pass between posts. If I am not editing a new video or reviewing a new product, I am probably teaching courses around this country and hopefully more soon, since languages are not an issue for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Angela? Well, not only did she become an airbrushing enthusiast, but also a very dear friend, who is now helping me in most of my videos. Whenever you see female hands on the screen, they are hers. </div>

<b><a href="https://aeroblend.com/">Aeroblend</a></b> is the brainchild of Indiana based makeup artist and etrepreneur Kiralee Hubbard. The idea behind the makeup line is a simple but very meaningful intuition: "Skin should look like skin, not makeup. So how do you get flawless skin without tons of makeup? By Aeroblending!".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was lucky enough to spend quite some time over the last couple of months testing their brand new <a href="https://aeroblend.com/products/deluxe-pro-airbrush-starter-kit-2-0">Deluxe Pro Airbrush Starter kit</a>, and I am happy to share the results with you now.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As soon as i opened the magnetized lid of the box I thought that this was the most elegantly packed kit I had ever seen in the market. With a foam insert holding the contents perfectly steady in its cutout, this kit makes for a wonderful presentation and gift, whether it be for yourself of for another. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The box holds the compressor, the airbrush, a box with the power source and air hose, and one with your selection of makeup. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>compressor</b> in the deluxe model is touch activated and has a built in battery that will allows you to use it anywhere without connecting to the power outlet. There is a small "safety" power switch at the bottom of the machine, which I guess prevents the unit from turning on accidentally and helps against stand-by battery drainage. Once you flick the safety switch on, the machine is activated by touch sensitive buttons on its top surface, and has three selectable pressure levels. The <b>battery</b> is astoundingly long lasting. I have taken the compressor out of the box, used it many many times and even shot the whole enclosed tutorial with it, and I still have to connect it to recharge it for the first time. Perhaps one of the reasons for its longevity is that compressor has an automatic shut off feature that turns the motor off as soon as you release the button on the airbrush and stop the air flow, but at any rate its durability is most impressive. The pressure output, which I coudn't measure with my gauge due to this stop and start feature, will not allow you to use this unit well for thicker formulas, but it is perfectly adequate for the Aeroblend makeup, which of course is its intended use. The pressure level does get a bit stronger when the compressor is connected to the mains, but as I said I had no problem whatsoever dispensing the makeup on the battery supported output level. I couldn't find any information on recharging times and battery maintenance practices in the booklet enclosed with the kit, so I will update this review when I receive that information from the company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>Aeroblend airbrush</b> in the de-luxe kit is a cut above any previous tool by this company, with its slick full chrome body and elegant line. As I hinted before, it is a double action airbrush, a bit of a rarity these days when most beauty consumer companies are opting for continuous airflow (for details on the difference between these terms, please see this article). I normally prefer continuous airflow myself, but in this case, thanks to the delicate pressure output and the stop and start feature in the compressor, I don't mind the double action one bit, its main advantage being of course that it prevents the water based makeup from drying on the tip of the needle, ensuring a smoother over all experience. </div>

The Aeroblend makeup formula is water based, vegan and completely cruelty free. It claims to be formulated for even the most sensitive skin types, "with botanical and mineral ingredients like Kaolin, Lavender and Jojoba to hydrate and soothe the skin". The formula is free of silicones, petroleum derived ingredients, phtalates and fragrance. The <b>foundation colors</b> are divided into two groups, N (for neutral tones) and O (for olive tones), and the sixteen colors initially available have just been expanded by and additional three darker shades. There are also six colors for blush, a bronzer and a highlighter color. The consistency of the formula is very fluid and these colors will run on any airbrush machine with no problems. The shades are delicately pigmented, which makes them easy to layer to achieve any desired coverage without creating obvious accumulations. First time users must keep in mind that they must not try to "see the makeup" as soon as they apply it, but they must layer it lightly to achieve the best results. The <b>finish</b> of the application is quite matte, yet the overall result remains subtle and fine, if not completely undetectable. Probably because of its mineral based ingredients, the final results reminded me of what you can achieve with mineral foundations, but taken to a finer and even subtler level. As advertised, the formula is completely fragrance free, and has a good resistance to water and great longevity on the skin, lasting the whole day without settling into fine lines. As with most airbrush makeup products in general, oil production is not greatly affected by the makeup, and final results will depend on the individual skin preparation routine. I would definitely advise a light, oil free moisturizer to prep the skin before application, and blotting papers at the ready for oil prone skin types. Color matching as with any liquid product is not always an obvious process, but you are covered by Aeroblend's color match guarantee against any mistakes in your initial purchase. If you get the Pro Starter Kit, you will get every single one of the initial 16 foundation shades (plus all the blush, bronzer and highlighter colors), in .20 fl oz (6ml) mini sizes, which is amazing because this way you can try the whole line before ordering your preferred full size 1 fl oz (30 ml) colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because of this makeup sampler and of the great commodity of the long lasting battery I would definitely advise you to purchase this kit option, especially considering that it is only a little more expensive than the other kit combinations, but the general affordability of the offering on the website means Aeroblend is definitely more than worth a try. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">Two times Academy nominee Victor Sodano is incredibly friendly, approachable and utterly dismissive of his amazing achievements, which include two Davide di Donatello (the “Italian Oscar”) awards, two Chioma di Berenice prizes and star on Hollywood Walk of Fame among many other film industry accolades. I crossed paths digitally with Victor for the first time when I was involved in an online discussion about airbrushing, and he came to my aid in defending this medium against another sceptical makeup artist who was disparaging it saying it wasn’t worth the investment for beauty makeup. (Incredibly, such opinions still exist even among professionals).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved how Victor didn’t have to say much. He simply posted a string of head shots of internationally famous actresses and added that all the make-up in the shot had been done by him with an airbrush. I ended my comments adding that now that the twice Oscar nominated artists had spoken, perhaps we could all take a seat. Cut to over a year later, and Victor graciously agrees to answer a few questions about his amazing career, and about how our favourite tool helped him achieve fantastic results. </span></span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Let’s start from the beginning, as they say… how did you become inspired to pursue a career in makeup?</span></b><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">When I was 16 I moved to London for a while to study English at a college. While I was there I started working in a special effects lab sculpting small prosthetic applications. I was so fascinated by the process, but I wanted to find out more about it, and l wanted to learn how to do full head casts. Flash forward to Italy, a few years later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was studying law at the University in Naples and I was doing well, but I didn’t enjoy the method of study that was required at the time, it was based mostly on mnemonic learning and I found it rather sterile. So one day I told my father that I was going to quit the University and get a job.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My father asked “What kind of job?” to which I just replied “I am going to be a makeup artist! My father looked at me with a perplexed expression and said "What is a make-up artist"? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Did your family support your ambition from the start? How did they feel about your achievements later on?</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">As it is typical for their generation, my parents were hoping I would get a long term contract with a steady employer. That said, my father and my late mother (who of course became my first “model”) were proud of me since my very beginning with RAI, let alone later. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">I started working in RAI television studios in Naples. My job was to wash the make-up sponges used by their makeup artists daily. While doing make-up for theaters and other events, in 1996 I made my film debut with the film Prima Che Il Tramonto. The director Stefano Incerti turned to me and asked "can you make the special effects of the film"? I felt both confident and uncertain for a moment ... and then I said “YES I can!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was the beginning of my film career, for which later <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got the award for Make-up and Special effects at the Locarno Film Festival. </span></span></div>

<span lang="IT" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">Brian De Palma was very impressed by the work I did for him on the movie Black Dalia. He used to say to me that my prosthetic makeup was so realistic that for the first time ever he was able to shoot a close up on a dummy . He wrote a letter of reference for me, and somehow when Mel Gibson started shopping around for Apocalypto he heard the good comments and his office contacted me.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"> </span></b></span></span></span><br />

</style> <![endif]--><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">I have special and wonderful memories of all the people in each job I have done. From the first to the last person. If I have to pick one,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the late Italian actress Mariangela Melato comes to mind,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>also since she is no longer with us. She had an incredible talent both for drama and for comedy, and not only on stage or film, but in life as well. She was a dream to do make-up on, with her huge eyes and the beautiful texture of her skin, which wasn’t free of pigmentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She loved being airbrushed. After the makeup was done she used to joke with me that she had just been to the “paint shop” once again, and she loved her evened out complexion. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;">Prejudice and misconceptions are mostly based on people not having tried it, watching an unskilled person using it, or second hand opinions. Only by trying it can one understand its beauty and potential. Make-up done by brush or sponge cannot produce this level of perfection, and sometimes perfection is required if only due to the simple vanity of an actress. I use the example of a Ferrari car: If you had a very expensive car and it got scratched, would you ask someone to hand paint the scratch? Wouldn’t you take rather it to an authorized shop which uses a professional paint compressor system?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most would choose the latter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To me the airbrush is an extension on my hand. I am using it to work as if i had a brush of sponge. I have learned the technique, and I am controlling the result. The airbrush achieves perfection when used correctly. Airbrush will not guarantee perfection if used incorrectly, so this method challenges and provides great creative potential for an artist. </span></span></div>

<a href="https://www.tickledpinkairbrush.com/"><b>Tickled Pink Airbrush Cosmetics</b></a> is a family owned and operated company based in Oregon with a very simple mission: to provide an affordable airbrush system that the average person can purchase and to keep the makeup prices reasonable without sacrificing quality, all the while treating customers the way we ourselves would like to be treated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having read this, I was expecting a nice experience with this company. What <b>I wasn't expecting is that I would find one of the best water based formulas I ever had a chance to try</b>, and as you know I have tried many, if not all of them. Let's get started...</div>

<b>The Company</b><br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ticked Pink was founded in 2008 by Kathy and Patrick Tope. The company has office in Salem and a lab in Portland, and employs pretty much the whole Tope family in various capacities. From their start as a local business, Tickled Pink built a growing online presence thanks to their website and Amazon store. The family business approach still pervades their policies, and hopefully always will, as it offers customers some unique advantages: this is the only brand I know of to offer a lifetime warranty on their airbrushes and a two year warranty on their compressor. A licensed esthetician is also on payroll to assist the customers indefinitely with any concern they may have about the product. In 2018 Tickled Pink started a general re-branding an an update of their website that is still ongoing at the time of writing, and that will doubtlessly allow them to reach an even broader audience.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tickled Pink started out by offering a water based line of airbrush foundation. As the company grew, more colors and products were added to the line, from concealers to blushers and eyeshadows. Today they offer a comprehensive catalogue of skincare, traditional makeup products and tools together with an airbrush tanning product, however my curiosity peaked when I heard of the addition of a whole line of Aloe Vera based airbrush cosmetics. This product is unique on the airbrush makeup market. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">While other brands offer natural based formulas, none of them as far as I know has Aloe Vera as their first ingredient. I received an extensive sampler of foundation shades to try, together with some blush, bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadow colors which are also all Aloe based, and you can see them all being used in the enclosed video tutorial. I have already given away my verdict at the beginning of this review, but it bears repeating: the foundation formula is extraordinary. Its finish is so soft that you can hardly see it being applied. It almost literally fuses with your skin with zero texture, not even in the finer lines around the eyes, yet it covers unevenness and blemishes very efficiently and once set it is as durable as the any of the best airbrush formulas. The Aloe base gives it a wonderful intrinsic glow that recreates the appearance of supple, healthy skin rather than makeup. If you are a fan of matte formulas however, all you need to do is apply a thin veil of HD powder and you will inhibit any unwanted dewiness. The finish of the product is so natural that it looks perfectly undetectable even on a man, and its "softness" makes it particularly easy to use for beginners as it less prone to creating hot spots or visible accumulations on the face. Such a high presence of Aloe makes this foundation a hybrid between makeup and skin care, leaving your skin actually better than it found it when you take it off. As for other ingredients, the formula is 89% organic and totally animal free. It actually reminds me a lot of my favorite airbrush foundation of all time, the legendary OCC line which was discontinued several years ago to everyone's dismay. The names of the foundation colors are all inspired by different kinds of coffee, but the website doesn't yet offer a clear guideline for shade selection, something I am sure will be fixed as soon as the full site update rolls out. In the meantime you can use our swatch photo at the bottom to have an idea, and I would suggest getting sampler packs (available in Fair, Light/Medium, Medium or Dark) to have more mixing options. Another amazing feature of this product is its price. At a very honest U$ 19.95 for one ounce, you simply must give this a try.</span></div>

As far as the other products in the Aloe line, the bronzer, blush and highlighter colors are all very subtle and help creating a perfectly natural to undetectable makeup. When it comes to eyeshadows, the colors are again lightly pigmented and very easy to blend, but in this case the aloe element renders them a little unstable, with a glossy finish that has a very interesting editorial aspect but does not necessarily help stability. You can still have lots of fun with them by taking a little care: spray very lightly, dry with air after application, and apply a light veil of HD powder to set.</div>

Tickled Pink kits come in several reasonably priced <a href="https://www.tickledpinkairbrush.com/airbrush-makeup-kits/">kit combinations</a>, all offering the same compressor and airbrush with a De Luxe option also offering a tanning airbrush. The compressor is very light and quiet, and features three pressure settings. Its maximum output is 18-20 PSI which is what is needed for the Tickled Pink formulas. It is very easy to use and very suitable for a beginner airbrusher, especially for personal use. The continuous flow Airbrush all stainless steel and once again works great with the Tickled Pink makeup. Buildups are very easy to clean with minimal maintenance, and as I mentioned earlier the airbrush benefits from an incredible lifetime warranty by the company. All the kits come with samples of Airbrush Cleaner, Water Proof Sealer and Airbrush Moisturizer. I would definitely advise you to buy a full size bottle of cleaner as an add on from the start. Another complement you may not want to miss is the Flawless Finish setting powder, a very fine HD powder made up of cosmetic silica only, unlike others which often feature needless ingredients.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Halloween is approaching fast and what better excuse than this to play around with our new range of airbrush colors from <b>Ben Nye</b> and with many amazing products purchased from <a href="http://www.crcmakeup.com/">Camera Ready Cosmetics</a>, our favorite online store in the world with its ever increasing selection of pro brands at an amazing price, the best customer service you could wish for, and fairly priced world wide shipping out of their Texas, USA head quarters. Please notice that despite of what I just wrote, this post is not sponsored by either company. I just genuinely love these brands and I am happy to spread the word about them in any way I can. So now that we have established that, let's dive in with some more details on how to create the look you see in these photos and video...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pre made foam latex prosthetics are a fast, easy and inexpensive way to create incredible looks with a super professional finish. You can apply them to great effect even without a lot (or hardly any) experience in SFX makeup. All you have to do is make sure you have the right products and tools, which will not cost that much considering the level of the results you will achieve. Of course I am using a kit with a compressor and several airbrushes here, but please know that you can perform any of these steps with regular brushes, it will just take a little longer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Safety disclaimer:</b> please test all of the products you will be using to make sure you or your model are not allergic to the materials. Please be very careful when working with an airbrush without the needle cap. Also remember never to spray directly on open eyes, or on the ear and nose canals. Have the model hold their breath while you spray around the nose.</div>
<br />
<b>PREPARATION</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwS3hD6YmxdICf2yttwAutVF-hUshfvTbGs4IINiej2vzR_j3CGo5kFim8m_vbTpI3MrMNVrvNBtPq2T3p1J00vSOxyFNup_oBAauo3_sXn9RdWZ4ghB7qU3LSOjdfM4hIjpX72L25HkE/s1600/HALLOWEEN+2018+2+WEB.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1100" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwS3hD6YmxdICf2yttwAutVF-hUshfvTbGs4IINiej2vzR_j3CGo5kFim8m_vbTpI3MrMNVrvNBtPq2T3p1J00vSOxyFNup_oBAauo3_sXn9RdWZ4ghB7qU3LSOjdfM4hIjpX72L25HkE/s320/HALLOWEEN+2018+2+WEB.jpg" width="219" /></a>Prep the prosthetic by carefully cutting out extra latex pieces that are left in by the manufacturer (such as over the eye and mouth openings). Be mindful to leave as much as the thin edges as possible attached to the mask. Prep the skin with a skin protector such as <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/kryolan-marly-skin-skin-protection-foam">Kryolan Pro Shield</a> before attaching the prosthetic, and protect the eyebrows with <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/kryolan-eyebrow-plastic">Kryolan Eyebrow Stick</a> smoothing the wax over the brows with a flat spatula. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>APPLICATION</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apply <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/pros-aide-adhesive-the-original">Pros-Aide</a> glue to the nose area inside the prosthetic, then apply that to the face first and use as a reference to place the rest of the application. Brush a thin layer of Pros-Aide directly on the area of the face that will be covered by the foam latex, then blow dry it on low heat until the glue is clear. Now you can place the rest of the prosthetic. The Pros-Aide will remain tacky and allow you to move the latex around if need be. Just be careful to lay the thin edges without having them fold under themselves. Correct placement will take some time, so be prepared. Once the prosthetic is in place, use more Pros-Aide along the edges to make sure they are flush against the skin. Once this last layer is dry, fill in any gap or discrepancy with <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/pros-aide/products/pros-aide-cream-adhesive">Pros-Aide cream</a>, and smooth everything down using a <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/graftobian-spatula-sculpting-tool-double-ended">spatula</a>. When the Pros-Aide cream is dry, you can brush a layer of <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/ben-nye-classic-translucent-face-powder-neutral-set">clear powder</a> along the edges to get rid of any tackiness (Pros-Aide will stay tacky indefinitely unless powder). </div>
<br />
<b>PAINTING THE APPLICATION</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZIpXYbIMFxTU0fCI-cAlyF4BKKnZltbUUt__qW5M_wS5au77BFhxkiFWl6zKRe974cw5zwwekPXWAasmF2gYCwhd9qBC1Z6EZPR0dr_vzvzHhDhDXYQ35HnHHXuVg5KRlQPsUICNQ740/s1600/HALLOWEEN+2018+3+WEB.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1071" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZIpXYbIMFxTU0fCI-cAlyF4BKKnZltbUUt__qW5M_wS5au77BFhxkiFWl6zKRe974cw5zwwekPXWAasmF2gYCwhd9qBC1Z6EZPR0dr_vzvzHhDhDXYQ35HnHHXuVg5KRlQPsUICNQ740/s320/HALLOWEEN+2018+3+WEB.jpg" width="214" /></a>Once the prosthetic is on, you will need to seal it with a layer of straight Pros-Aide, or you can use Pax Paint, which is a Pros-Aide based paint, to also lay a base color. This will be necessary of the latex might start to break down from the colors you will apply on top. Either way, the whole prosthetic will need another dusting of clear setting powder to set, and then you will be able to paint. There are several ways to paint the prosthetic to stunning effect. I chose to use a flesh tone base coat of Pax, then several layers of spattering and then some mottling, lowlights, highlights, veining and yet more mottling to break up the final effect. Like I was saying, applying these layers with an airbrush is definitely faster and easier for me, especially with the special Spatter Cap by Harder and Steenbeck which makes spattering super fast, clean and easy, but you can also use traditional brushes to achieve the same results. As far as colors are concerned, I have often used PPI's <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/skin-illustrator/products/ppi-skin-illustrator-on-set-signature-series-joel-harlow-palette">alcohol based palettes</a> for these kind of jobs before, but this time I decide to try out <b>Ben Nye'</b>s new range of water / hybrid based colors created especially for airbrushing, called <b>Pro Color</b>. There is an especially large selection of colors for special effects. The lines are eloquently called "Death", "FX" and "Classic", and within them you can find pretty much any color you might need for a great SFX paint job. Because of the water based composition, these colors are also more pleasant for the model, and can be sprayed on the eye area without any fear of irritation. The color tonality and pigmentation is fantastic, as you can expect from a legendary brand such as Ben Nye. </div>
<br />
<b>SEALING THE PAINT JOB</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The order in which you lay the colors is pretty much up to you and to the final effect you wish to achieve. You will inevitably find yourself going back and forth and adding a further layer with a technique (such as spattering, for example), long after you thought you were finished. Every artist has its own technique, but the rules are far and few in between. At the end of the day, what really matters is what works. Once you are finished painting, you will need to seal your paint job. Ben Nye is also the maker of <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/products/ben-nye-final-seal-matte-sealer">Final Seal</a>, an industry staple and one of the best makeup sealers around. Of course this is also ready to be applied with an airbrush, so that is just what we did. If we had used alcohol based paints we would have probably chosen <a href="https://camerareadycosmetics.com/collections/ppi-premiere-products-inc/products/ppi-green-marble-selr-spray">PPI Green Marble sealer</a>, which can be used after each layer of alcohol paint in order to protect it from the subsequent layer, as it basically prevents the new alcohol being applied from breaking up the alcohol in the layer previously applied.<br />
<br />
<b>REMOVING THE PROSTHETIC</b><br />
To remove the prosthetic, loosen a hidden edge with a bit of PPI's Telesis Super Solve, then gently pull the latex off the face dusting the skin underneath with clear powder with a fan brush as you pull away. Use Super Solve to remove the residue of glue, then a good makeup remover for the rest, and proceed to restorative skin care. </div>

I hope this video and text might be of use to some of you makeup artists who are taking your first steps in the amazing SFX world. Whichever style of project you will embark on this Halloween, I wish you a fun experience and a wonderfully creative time. </div>
