Airbushing vs. Brushes

I want to talk about the advantages of airbrushing vs. brush application of makeup. First I want to start off by saying there are advantages of using either technique. Airbrushing takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. The good thing about airbrushing is it is very fast. If you have a large group of people that you have to take care of in a short amount of time airbrushing is ideal. The downside is the gun gets clogged easily which can be challenging if you are pressed for time. The distribution of the product goes on easily but don't be mistaken, airbrush can give a flawless look but it is a heavier application than utilizing brushes. Makeup applied with brushes is old school but sometimes this can be a good thing. You have more control when using brushes and you can build where you need more coverage. You can also use different brushes to create different effects in your makeup application. I have also found that makeup application with brushes is preferred by entertainers in the industry cause it holds up better under extreme lighting situations such as being on stage or out in the elements. I have found that it is easier to cover tattoos with the airbrush machine. So there you have it, there are pros and cons to both now based on the information I have given you I will let you decide which technique you think will be best for your client. Good Luck!
