Airbrushing Makeup Pros and Cons.

Airbrushing Makeup is a usefull technique in the right circumstances, certainly not all.

Lets start at the beginning... Firstly if you are having Airbrushed Makeup or are thinking of having this professionally done, ie. for a special occasion here are a few things to consider.

If you have never had your makeup airbrushed before, it can be quite a daunting experience. So what should you expect??? Firstly there is the Airbrush equipment, for a cosmetic airbrush, this generally consists of a generator, a hose attached to that and a nozzle attached to that. Unusual for a standard makeup application. A rush of cold air to the face, normally your eyes should be closed at this point, hopefully the Makeup Artist doing the Airbrushing will have told you that by now. If they haven't..... well theres your first problem. Anyway imagine...... eyes closed and a sudden rush of cold, wet air to the face...it can be quite a frightfull experience if you aren't forewarned.

The Makeup Artist doing the airbrushing really does need to know what they are doing, as the makeup comes out of the nozzle with pressure and speed and can very easily go up your nose or into your eyes and it can also quickly appear caked and unattractive.

Be prepared to take a breath and hold it while the artist is working around the nose area, hopefully they keep mental track of how long you are doing this for before you pass out. That sounds really terrible, its pretty unlikely that would happen, especially if your Makeup Artist is a professional.

So far it all seems quite scary but the results are amazing if done properly and really it isn't that bad at all as long as you have an idea of what to expect. Its also a very quick process. Much faster than a manual application, so it can be a perfectly painless if this is what you are looking for. Airbrushed Makeup tends to be longer wearing than conventional makeup and therefore often recommended to brides to last the duration of the day without having to do many touchups.

The molecules from the airbrushed makeup are tiny and able to float on the air, so its important that airbrushing is done in a well ventilated area, and this is also an issue to take into account for asthma sufferers or people with respiratory problems.
