What are the best airbrush makeup kits?

By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about airbrush makeup: how it lasts longer, is incredibly lightweight on your skin, and gives you flawless finish. If you’re itching to try this out, then you’ll probably want to invest in a good kit. How can you tell if you’re getting a good one, though? If you’re scouting around for options, here are a few tips to help you pick out the best ones.

Consider the components

The basic assembly will include an airbrush gun and compressor. To make the magic happen, you only need to put the makeup foundation in the gun and then start spraying the makeup through the nozzle. Make sure you maintain the ideal distance, though, so you end up with great results.

Pick a nozzle type

Check out the nozzle types to figure out which one is a good choice for you. There are single-action and dual action nozzles. With the first option, you press down on the nozzle until it comes up with the amount of makeup you want. With the second option, though, you press down for air and pull back for the makeup to come up, which makes it easier for you to adjust the pigment flow or stroke size, My Daily Dose says.

Learn how the compressor works

When you work the compressor, one of the most important things you need to remember is this: PSI or pound per square inch. The standard PSI, then is 30 to 40. Keep that in mind. Once you master the compressor, though, it’ll be much easier to get the natural complexion you want to achieve with airbrush makeup.

Shopping for options

Here are some options you’ll want to try out when you shop for airbrush supplies and makeup kits.

●        Luminess Air Basic Airbrush System. This is an ideal option for beginners. As a basic option, it comes with an eight-color match starter kit that carries light, medium, and darker shades, Living Gorgeous says. You can mix and blend until you discover the shade that’s perfect for you. The foundation is also non-comedogenic, which means you won’t have to worry about the makeup clogging up your pores. If you don’t want acne or you’ve got acne problems, then this is an excellent option for you. If you’re looking for the option that’s going to give you the best value for your money, this should be on top of your list.

●        Art of Air Professional Airbrush Cosmetic Makeup System. This is a good kit to have if you’re a pro and you’re looking for makeup that’s going to stay up for hours. The low-cost cosmetic system is another draw. Check out the shades to see if this is a good match for you.

●        Aeroblend Airbrush Makeup Personal kit. This is also a good option for those with sensitive skin. However, be warned: it does come with a highly pigmented makeup recipe. You’ll need to use the drops sparingly, otherwise, you may come out looking like you’ve been to the tanning salon.
