In recent years, the technique has been widely popularized by Youtubers and Instagramers who adopt it to apply their daily makeup. Educate yourself on the subject so that you can fully enjoy the airbrush gun. There are also academies offering professional training dedicated to the technique that only last a few days.

This type of makeup is done with an airbrush. It is the same principle as the self-tanning shower. The airbrush is made of 3 main parts: a compressor, a hose and a tank. With the trigger you can regulate the injection of the foundation on your skin. This allows you to put on your makeup well and camouflage all imperfections without plastering it and without obtaining frozen features.

Today, posts tagged with #airbruchmakeup are flowing on Instagram. You can find plenty of inspiration and advice to adopt it without any fault of taste. There are also a good number of companies offering all the necessary tools for its realization. Prices can vary between 50 and 250 euros for a complete kit.

One of the good things about airbrushing makeup is that the products apply quickly and easily, which is very important when it comes to everyday makeup. That's why, no one will miss this new beauty asset. With just a few sprays, you have a perfect, even complexion!

The airbrush makeup gives a fresh air to the face and at the same time corrects the pigmentations and the texture of the skin well. And unlike the classic makeup that we usually wear, this technique ensures a natural and delicate look. It is excellent to wear to the office or to the beach.

Favoring this method of application is intended to be more hygienic than using sponges and brushes, which is due, in large part, to the sprayer that never touches the face. That is why it is particularly suitable for sensitive skin.

With this innovative product, the colors blend completely. So the contouring technique is no longer an impossible mission. It makes you dream eh? In addition, products intended for the airbrush are often made on the basis of silicone, which makes them water resistant. This gives the skin a translucent and shiny appearance, just like after a glass skin make-up, another trend you can sport this summer. And unlike traditional powder and foundation, airbrush makeup is more resistant and long-lasting. It offers optimal and long-lasting coverage, up to 24 hours. To succeed, you only need a little practice.
