You\u2019ll have to master a totally new method of makeup application\u2014but that\u2019s not all you\u2019ll need. Because airbrush makeup is applied using a special compressor and gun, it requires specially formulated products. And you know what that means\u2014if you want to offer airbrush makeup to your clients, your kit will have to grow!<\/p>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a makeup artist who\u2019s strict about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/10\/building-your-makeup-artistry-kit-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">building her kit on a budget<\/a>, the thought of building an airbrush kit alongside your traditional kit might have you (and your bank account) cringing.

If you know you\u2019ll be creating elaborate fantasy designs with your airbrush, you\u2019ll probably need a pretty big kit. In addition to the basics, you\u2019ll need a whole range of highly pigmented, long-lasting colors. You\u2019ll also need an airbrush machine that\u2019s designed for going beyond the face for partial or full body applications.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you know most of the demand for your airbrush services will come from brides, you can scale things way back. Most brides will be happy with a basic concealer, foundation, and setting spray application. You can keep your kit to a few colors, which you can easily blend to match any skin tone, and then stick with traditional products for eye and lip application.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"half-2\">\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"323\" height=\"450\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-bride.jpg\" alt=\"Chances are, bridal makeup won&#039;t require an extensive airbrush makeup kit\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-bride.jpg 323w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-bride-215x300.jpg 215w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<p><i>Pro Tip:<\/i> Building your airbrush makeup kit is just like building a traditional kit.

Airbrush makeup won\u2019t do you much good without an airbrush to use it!<\/p>\n\n<p>An airbrush has two main components: a compressor and an airbrush gun. You can find various starter kits that include both a compressor and a gun, or you can buy the two pieces separately. If you\u2019re thinking of signing up for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/airbrush-makeup-workshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QC\u2019s airbrush makeup workshop<\/a>, you\u2019re all set\u2014the course includes QC\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/08\/tutorial-qc-makeup-academy-airbrush-machine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">airbrush compressor and gun<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine.jpg\" alt=\"A good airbrush machine makes a big difference in application\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine-300x151.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<p>Otherwise, you\u2019ll need to shop around for your own. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you\u2019re shopping for a compressor:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>A diaphragm compressor is cheaper and less powerful than an industrial compressor\u2014ideal for makeup.<\/li>\n<li>30\u201440 pounds per square inch (PSI) is the power you\u2019ll need for a standard makeup application, but body art can require a higher PSI.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ll be carrying it around on-the-go, look out for one that\u2019s small and not too heavy!<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>And for your airbrush gun, decide if you want a single-action trigger (simply push down to spray) or a double-action trigger (control intensity and flow of pigment with the trigger).<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3Know_your_foundation_formulas\"><\/span>3.\tKnow your foundation formulas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Airbrush foundations come in three different formulas, each with their own pros and cons. It\u2019ll probably take some hands-on practice for you to figure out what you prefer, but knowing a little about all three can help you get your airbrush makeup kit started.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\n<li><b>Alcohol-based foundations<\/b> have incredible staying power, but they can be drying on the skin.<\/li>\n<li><b>Water-based foundations<\/b> give a matte appearance and easily build to full coverage\u2014perfect for working under bright lights where shine is a major no-no. But tears, sweat, rain, or any other kind of water can easily smudge it. Water-based foundations can also dry a few shades darker than anticipated, and require you to airbrush the entire area to avoid a clear \u201cdrying line\u201d.<\/li>\n<li><b>Silicone-based foundations<\/b> are awesome at matching the look and texture of real skin. It\u2019s also way more forgiving\u2014you don\u2019t have to airbrush a full face like you do with a water-based formula. However, some (like <a href=\"http:\/\/occmakeup.com\/pages\/faq4.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OCC<\/a> at the bottom of their FAQ) worry about the health effects of inhaling silicone, which can be unavoidable when you\u2019re airbrushing. It also tends to dry about half a shade darker than it appears in the bottle.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"346\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrushing.jpg\" alt=\"Alcohol, water, or silicone?

Even if you\u2019ve mastered matching with traditional foundation, airbrush foundations can present a whole new challenge\u2014especially with water- and silicone-based formulas drying darker.<\/p>\n\n<p>The fact is, it\u2019s tough to know what shades of foundation you\u2019ll need when you\u2019re starting to build your kit airbrush makeup kit. Luckily, many brands offer \u201cstarter kits\u201d that come with several basic airbrush shades to cover your foundation needs. As with many palettes or gift packs, a starter kit is also often cheaper than buying a bunch of different shades individually.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"378\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dark violet foundation, anyone?\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine-2.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Airbrush-machine-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5Know_whats_out_there\"><\/span>5.\tKnow what\u2019s out there<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Some artists love their airbrush. Others, not so much. Personal preference and client demand will determine how much use your airbrush kit ends up getting, along with what exactly you\u2019re using it for.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to expand your airbrush services, though, it\u2019s a good idea to know your options. Fantasy makeup and body paint tend to get all the attention, but there are more low-key (and often more practical) ways to grow. For instance, adding Temptu\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/temptu.com\/pro\/sirbrow-color-set.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S\/B Airbrow Set<\/a> to your airbrush makeup kit gives you everything you need to start airbrushing brows.
