How Do I Prepare My Face For Airbrush Makeup?

So, you've heard about the wonders of airbrush makeup and you're ready to take the plunge into the world of flawless beauty. But wait! Before you fire up that airbrush gun and start spraying away, let's talk about the importance of prepping your canvas – aka your face – for the ultimate airbrush experience. Trust us, a little prep goes a long way when it comes to achieving that picture-perfect finish you've been dreaming of.

Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse:
First things first – let's get rid of any dirt, oil, or leftover makeup that might be hanging out on your skin. Grab your favorite gentle cleanser and give your face a good wash to start with a fresh, clean canvas.

AeroTip: You can even throw in a quick exfoliation sesh to slough away any dead skin cells, or if you're feeling fancy, book a dermaplaning appointment to not just scrape away dead skin cells but also any peach fuzz and reveal a smoother surface for airbrush application.

Hydrate Like There's No Tomorrow:
Next up, it's time to show your skin some love with a generous dose of hydration. Reach for your favorite moisturizer and give your skin the moisture it craves. Hydrated skin is happy skin, and trust us, your face will thank you for it later. Plus, moisturized skin provides a smooth, supple base for airbrush makeup to glide on like a dream.

Prime Time:
Now that your skin is clean and hydrated, it's prime time----JUST KIDDING! While skin primers are a staple in many makeup routines, they are not always the best fit for airbrush makeup, particularly Aeroblend. Why? Well, here's the scoop: skin primers often create a smooth, slippery surface on the skin, which can actually make it more challenging for Aeroblend to adhere properly. Instead of allowing the airbrush makeup to grip onto the skin, primers can cause it to slide around, resulting in patchy application and less-than-ideal results. So, while primers may work wonders for traditional makeup application, it's best to skip them when prepping for airbrush makeup. Aeroblend applies and adheres best on bare, moisturized skin anyway. Trust us, your flawless airbrushed finish will thank you for it!

Conceal and Correct:
Got any pesky blemishes, dark circles, or redness you want to hide? Now's the time to bust out your favorite concealer and work some magic. Dab a small amount of concealer onto any problem areas and gently blend it out for seamless coverage. Remember, less is more when it comes to concealer – you want to keep things light and natural for that airbrushed finish.

Set It and Forget It:
Last but not least, it's time to lock in all your hard work with a setting spray. A few spritzes of setting spray will not only help your makeup last all day (and night), but it'll also give your skin that coveted dewy glow we all crave. Plus, setting spray helps to meld all your makeup layers together for a seamless, airbrushed finish that's sure to turn heads.

And there you have it – the ultimate guide to prepping your face for airbrush makeup like a pro. With a little cleansing, hydrating, priming, concealing, and setting, you'll be well on your way to achieving that flawless, airbrushed finish you've been dreaming of. So go ahead, channel your inner makeup artist and get ready to slay the beauty game like never before. Your airbrush adventure awaits!
