Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup System — Color Match and Before After
Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup System: If you do your makeup almost every day, chances are pretty good you have had to wipe something off and start over. Some days, you might have to wipe EVERYTHING off and try again. And if you are anything like me, some days you just look in the mirror and decide to forgo the makeup — or leaving the house.
So today we are going to go over some common airbrush makeup mistakes and how to correct, or prevent, them.

OVER AND UNDER SPRAYING
You will hear it time and time again — with airbrush makeup, layers are key. We recommend starting with a light layer of foundation and letting it dry. If you want more, you can always add another layer, but that first layer might be all you need.
So what do you do if you have applied your primer and your foundation and you realize it’s too heavy? Start by removing the foundation with a damp rag or makeup wipe. Then refill your stylus, but this time practice spraying into a tissue.
Are you pulling back too much on the throttle? You should never apply makeup with the throttle pulled more than 1/3 of the way back. Practice with a paper towel or a piece of paper to see how much spray is actually coming out of the stylus. Notice that it seems sheer when spraying lightly, but that’s what you want at first. You can always add more layers, but undoing too much makeup takes time and effort.
Is there too much foundation in the cup? Four to six drops is customary for most people; however, start off with as few as possible. You can always add more later, but it’s hard to stop spraying when you have too much in the cup.
Are you using too light a shade so you are over spraying? Make sure you have color matched your foundation properly. Getting some sun can change your skin tone, and so can spending a lot of time indoors. If you think your skin tone has changed, adjust your foundation accordingly.

AIRBRUSH STYLUS IS SPLATTERING
Was that too easy? Okay, here’s a harder one. What do you do if the airbrush is spattering makeup?
First, you should be cleaning your stylus after every use. When you are done applying your makeup, fill the cup on the stylus with water. Hold the tip of your finger against the nozzle and pull back on the trigger. This will cause bubbles to come up through the cup, which is what you want. This helps clean out the needle tube. Then, spray the water into the sink (or a tissue) until it’s empty.
But build up does happen and can clog your stylus. To remedy this, take the stylus apart to clean it properly. Watch this video to learn how to do this properly. Still having issues?

MAKEUP IS JUST NOT STAYING PUT
Gone are the days when you could just slap on some color and hope it lasts as long as you do. With the advances in cosmetics, it takes a bit more effort to get a long-lasting look, but it’s so worth it.
Make sure you are applying a moisturizer and/or primer before applying your airbrush makeup. This will help give your skin the right kind of texture to make sure the makeup adheres well. Try the one that comes with our beauty essentials.
Also, follow up with a setting formula. We recommend our Final Seal waterproof sealant to make sure your face is protected from damaging moisture such as sweat or tears.
Making sure you let each layer dry before applying the next will also ensure that your makeup stays put and lasts all day and night. Bonus tip: Try letting your makeup fully set before applying the waterproof sealant. If you apply the sealant just before you walk out the door, you give your makeup time to settle in fully. (Try our new travel-ready Final Seal for convenient application anywhere, anytime.)
