Hello,
Your website is very informative.
May I ask what air compressor model do you use and what you would recommend?
I couldn’t tell on the picture.
Thank you so much!

Thanks for this tutorial!
I remember reading somewhere about the tip of the airbrush, that it was recommended a 0.2 size? I am looking to buy one of those airbrush+compressor kits and I what I mostly find around here are the ones with a 0.35 tip size…
I wonder if that would make a significant difference. I am planning on painting factory-like eyeshadow and blush, keeping it simple; no special designs, drawings on the lids or anything like that… And I’ll stencil lips too, but I guess I can do that with any kind of airbrush, regardless of the tip size.
I am clueless, and don’t want to buy cheap stuff, but don’t want to go the other extreme and get an equipment I don’t really need.

I have so many neglected girlies because I sanded off their makeup. I really need to break down and invest and really do appreciate this wonderful reference which I will be coming back to over and over again!!!

Thank you for making this tutorial! I wish I waited with purchase.

I tried to airbrush last winter, but failed so bad I never wanted to try again. I find it so hard to “aim”… If I hold the brush close to face to be comfortable to paint it produces too small paint area that is not good (not nice gradual field), so I have to hold brush far from the face (about 15-20 cm), which makes it so hard…

I worked for hours, paint, wipe, paint, wipe… then I got headache from the fumes.. haha.

maybe I will try again someday!

omg this is great! i will have to try using my airbrush again.. though mine is terrible, i think its supposed to be dual action, but i see no difference in amount of paint when i push down and pull the trigger vs. just pushing down and not pulling… so i think its lying to me
but my major problem was my paint being too thick! good to know the paint was the problem and not the brush.. interesting about using rubbing alchohol to thin the paint, i never knew to use that =o
anyways, thanks so much for the airbrushing tut! <3

Good tip about the magic eraser, Olga.

Is your water trap full? what kind of brush and compressor are you using?

and one thing i forgot to ask….i really have problems with my airbrush spitting water. I don’t know how to avoid that, my compressor has water reservoir thingie, but i don’t know, i may be doing something wrong and is a real pain, once it starts spitting water, it ruins the works and i have to stop….
thanks again!
