What is Airbrush Makeup?

Airbrush Makeup seems to be cropping everywhere these days but what exactly is it and how is it different to regular makeup? In this article I explain the rise of airbrush makeup and its benefits over regular makeup.

Airbrush makeup was first invented in the 1980s but it was not received universally. Originally only really used for high-profile photo shoots, airbrush makeup was an expensive extravagance used by few. That is changing now. With the advent of high-definition TV and ever-present frustration with flaws in regular makeup, more and more people are resorting to using airbrush makeup.

Airbrush makeup is basically liquid makeup which is applied using an airbrush similar to those used to paint cars. This means that you can get a perfect application which also has a number of other benefits over regular makeup.

Airbrush makeup does not show creases, caking or streaks like regular makeup. Furthermore, it lasts much longer than normal makeup; up to 12 hours. For this reason it has become very popular among brides. Airbrush makeup looks flawless compared to normal makeup which is why it is being used increasingly with HDTV, which reveals everything.

Airbrush Makeup is mostly used by professionals. Having said this, a number of people are actually buying kits for home use. The only thing that is really stopping people is the relatively high cost. At around $300 for a kit, it can be a significant investment for a home user. On top of this, being good at using the airbrush requires quite a significant amount of practice.
