Let’s Get Prepping
Airbrush makeup has become increasingly popular for its flawless and long-lasting coverage. Whether you’re using it for your face or body (yes, the ever-popular ‘spraytan’ is also airbrushing), the key to a flawless airbrush makeup application is not only in the technique but also in your skincare prep. Prepping your skin properly can make all the difference in how your airbrush makeup looks and lasts. Here are some tips on what to do to your skin before airbrush makeup application:
Cleanse Your Face And Body Thoroughly:
Before applying airbrush makeup, make sure to cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup residue.
Exfoliate
Exfoliation is an important step to get rid of any dead skin cells and to smooth out the skin’s texture. Make sure to use a gentle exfoliator and not overdo it as it can damage the skin.
Moisturise
Moisturising your skin is essential for a smooth and even airbrush makeup application. Choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type and apply it generously, allowing enough time to absorb into the skin.
Prime
Applying a primer before airbrush makeup application can help the makeup last longer and go on smoother. Choose a primer that is specifically designed for airbrush makeup and apply it evenly all over the face and body.
Protect
Protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful rays is ALWAYS a good idea! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin from UV damage.
When it comes to airbrushing the body, it’s important to use products that are designed specifically for that purpose. Graftobian Professional Makeup offers a range of airbrush products that are perfect for use on the body, including body paints, shimmer powders, and bronzers.
Preparation for Body Treatments
Here are some tips on how to airbrush the body for a seamless, natural-looking finish:
Preparation Is Key
Just like with airbrush makeup on the face, preparing the skin is essential when airbrushing the body. Start by exfoliating and moisturising the skin to create a smooth surface. Avoid using heavy oils or creams as these can interfere with the airbrushing process. Also, make sure to shave or wax the area you want to airbrush before starting to ensure an even application a couple of days in advance.
Use The Right Technique
When airbrushing the body, it’s essential to use the right technique to achieve a flawless finish. Start by holding the airbrush at a distance of about 10 centimeters from the skin, and use a back-and-forth motion to apply the product evenly. Keep your hand moving at all times to avoid over-applying in one area. Use a light touch when applying the product, and build up the coverage gradually to achieve the desired effect.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Airbrushing the body takes practice, so don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t perfect. Experiment with different products, techniques, and equipment to find what works best for you. And remember, practice makes perfect!
Conclusion
Whether you’re airbrushing your face or body, it’s essential to take care of your skin to ensure that you achieve the best results with your airbrush makeup application. By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to prep your skin for a flawless and long-lasting airbrush makeup application without damaging or hurting your skin. Remember, proper skin care is the foundation for a beautiful, flawless airbrush makeup look!
