Here's what is going on when makeup is spilling out the sides of the airbrush stylus cup:

  1. Make sure you are holding the airbrush stylus upright and not letting it tilt.
  2. Too much makeup is deposited into the cup and spills while you are airbrushing. It is recommended to start with 6-8 drops of makeup and then add more if needed.
  3. You are moving the airbrush too quickly and abruptly, and thus the makeup spills out. AEROBLEND is best airbrushed in light, sheer layers all over. Then, focusing on any problem areas, all while using soft circular motions.
  4. You are not controlling airflow of the airbrush properlyYou may have the air pressure setting turned too high, or you are pulling the lever all the way back. Thus making you feel that you need to move the stylus super fast while airbrushing because the makeup is coming out too fast! 
    Keep the compressor set at the lowest pressure setting (1st tap) and then slowly pull back on the lever to the amount of flow that best suits your ability to control it while airbrushing.
