LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?
INTRODUCTION TO AIRBRUSHING:
With the technology of high definition television (HDTV), make- up artists have evolved their skills with the
addition of airbrushing to their repertoires. With the high pixel count in both HDTV and digital photography, every
detail is shown to the extreme. The standard makeup of the 90’s now looks far too heavy and false in these
mediums.
By using a compressor and airbrush gun, micronized make-up is dispersed so finely that, if applied correctly, it
cannot be seen. It gives invisible coverage.
There are several different formulas of foundation that can be used. Hydro (water base) gives a natural, dewy
look and is most often used on the face. Silicone and alcohol base foundations are non-transferrable so they are
good choices to cover tattoos, birthmarks and for use on areas where clothing may rub against the body.
In addition to the skills and techniques that you will learn about airbrush makeup application, this course
emphasizes hands-on practical care and maintenance of your airbrush equipment, dexterity exercises (using both
hands) and practice.
Beginning with a comprehensive overview of safety and mechanical considerations, students progress to
efficiently cleaning, assembling and loading the airbrush unit. Working on paper as a primary canvas, you will
move to face and body as you experiment with patterns and textures. The creation and application of airbrush
tattoos and patterns is another addition to your professional menu.
