When you\u2019re trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/10\/building-your-makeup-artistry-kit-on-a-budget\/\">build a makeup kit<\/a> that can accommodate any client, the idea of stocking a range of regular foundation and airbrush foundation can be daunting.\n\nLuckily, you can make your traditional foundation do double duty. Traditional foundation is way too thick for an airbrush on its own. But you can mix some of your favorite foundation with an airbrush makeup thinner to use it with your airbrush machine.\n\n<i>Pro tip:<\/i> This is pretty obvious, but make sure you read the instructions for your airbrush makeup thinner before using it! A specific foundation or airbrush makeup thinner may not be compatible with your airbrush, and this won\u2019t be a budget-friendly option if you end up busting your machine!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Highlight_your_hair\"><\/span>2. Highlight your hair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nLots of people use their airbrush for highlighting and contouring on the face. But did you know you can use it to touch up roots or add temporary highlights to your hair as well?\n\nYou\u2019ll need to buy a special product to use with your airbrush, which does make it tough to add to your professional makeup artistry kit in a range that will suit all your clients. As a makeup artist, chances are you won\u2019t be responsible for your clients\u2019 hair, unless you\u2019ve also pursued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/hair-styling-essentials\/\">courses in hairstyling<\/a>.\n\nStill, it\u2019s a cool trick that might be fun to try out on yourself or your friends for a temporary taste of color or a short-term root fix\u2014minus the salon price.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Airbrush_those_eyes%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>3.

You can also use your airbrush to apply eyeshadow!\n\nThe advantage? Even, clean coverage with good lasting power. It\u2019s also great for achieving flawless blending. To prevent overspray, try using an eyeshadow shield. If you\u2019re still new to airbrushing, you may want to save this for later. Practice airbrushing eyes until you&#8217;ve mastered it before offering it to your clients!\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/07\/nathans-tips-eyeshadow-fundamentals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Eyeshadow techniques<\/a> tend to be a little more advanced. So if you\u2019d rather stick to your brushes for applying eyeshadow, use an airbrush machine to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2019\/02\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-fantasy-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">create fantasy looks<\/a> around the eyes instead.

A lot of the time, airbrush shades for lips can also be used as blush colors\u2014with a lighter application, of course!\n\nUsing a lip stencil can help you get a crisp, clean edge for your color that will really make your lips pop.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Cover_up_tattoos\"><\/span>5. Cover up tattoos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nPicture this: your bridal client\u2019s wedding dress shows off her old tattoo\u2026 of her ex-boyfriend\u2019s name. Uh oh.\n\nThere are lots of reasons you might want to cover up tattoos (and not all of them are embarrassing!), as well as birthmarks, scars, or other marks on the skin. The uniform coverage and lasting power an airbrush gives you makes disguising all of these super simple.\n\nIf this is something you\u2019re doing a lot, you might want to invest in a specialty tattoo coverage product, like Dinair&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.airbrushmakeup.com\/paramedical\/tattoos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colair Xtreme Tattoo Coverage<\/a>. Otherwise you can just use foundation, though this will take some extra prep work.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Create_temporary_tattoos\"><\/span>6.

Instead of covering up a tattoo, your clients might be looking for you to help them get inked up\u2014temporarily, that is!\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/03\/airbrush-makeup-workshop-sneak-peek\/\">Creating a tattoo<\/a> is a little different from more traditional airbrush makeup techniques. Blending is essential for many of your makeup basics, but it\u2019s a no-go for your standard tattoos. After all, tattoos aren\u2019t supposed to look natural: you want that fancy, fire-breathing dragon wrapped around your forearm to stand out!\n\nIf you\u2019re thinking of branching out into the world of temporary tattoos, you\u2019ll probably need some new supplies:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Stencils for creating complex, crisp-edged designs<\/li>\n \t<li>A wider range of colors designed to be long-lasting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nChances are, these aren\u2019t available at your usual makeup retailer.

Just like for tattooing, you\u2019ll probably need to branch out your makeup kit into exotic, brighter colors and elaborate stencils. But don\u2019t let the stencils hold you back: the freehand designs can be stunning, or you could try a combination of freehand painting and stenciling for a look that provides sharp-edged patterns over blended color coverage.\n\nLooking for ideas?
