Airbrush Makeup Certification

I recently completed airbrush makeup certification with Sherlyn Fox at Studio Fox Nashville. After completing the formal training and having now had the opportunity to use the airbrush system with a number of different models, I am convinced that airbrushing is the way to go. I am using a Temptu airbrushing system with Temptu makeup.

This type of application will likely become standard for my bridal clients, as the makeup goes on beautifully, never looks thick or caked-up - and lasts all day.

I'm also finding that airbrush is perfect for male models. It is easy to do very light concealing work without altering the texture of the skin and without the makeup ever looking even remotely visible.

The airbrush cosmetics go on much more flawlessly than do standard cosmetics, and it takes far less time to apply - with a lot less blending. It's also extremely easy to apply cosmetics to any areas of the body that may need to be touched up to match the face, or darkened/lightened for a shoot.

Airbrush makeup is definitely something that I will be working with a lot in the future, and I'm thinking that it may become my favored technique over standard. If you're interested in airbrush makeup, please feel free to contact me.
