Airbrush makeup is makeup sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush machine instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. A typical airbrush system uses a compressor to create airflow through a hose connected to a trigger-controlled spray painting gun. The airbrush pressure can be adjusted to apply various types of makeup, such as lighter, heavier, or more detailed styles. Airbrushes are used in film, theater, bridal makeup, and sunless tanning.
Airbrush makeup uses compressed air to spray a fine mist of cosmetics onto your skin. It is often used for wedding day makeup because it gives your skin a smooth, natural finish that hides blemishes and imperfections. Another advantage of airbrush makeup is that being atomized by the air helps it to go further than traditional makeup, so it lasts considerably.
Airbrushing units vary slightly from brand to brand, but much like spray tanning machines, they deliver a constant stream of air and product into a pen. During airbrush makeup application, the airbrush machine will atomize micro-pigmented makeup onto your skin, just like when you get a spray tan. Most airbrush machines are made up of a compressor and a stylus.
