Ever since MGM painted hundreds of extras in Ben Hur way back in 1930sl Airbrush makeup has captured the imagination of people, as the most easy, swift and probably professional way of quickly painting huge number of men and women.
Contemporary times have seen marked usage of airbrush makeup, along with the emergence of HD TV, since it provides clarity. This new technology highlights streaks and caking that are common with the grease-paint traditional makeup. These days Broadway actors use airbrush makeup, while wherever haunted houses are a part of theater this makeup also finds a place.
Airbrush makeup consists of largely pigmented but thin deviation from customary liquid makeup cosmetics. Sometimes to make them more durable, film formers are used; and in a way taking off from the creams/liquid cosmetics, the constituents consist of resins, additives, pigments and solvents
Airbrush makeup pigment is normally a fine powder that doesn’t dissolve. By suspending it in a fluid, it becomes the color of the airbrush makeup. There are of course various pigments, which the makeup artistes choose.
By using resin which is a film former, the pigment sticks to the surface when applied. These film formers can be acrylic or cellulose. Thus in airbrush makeup, when these are applied in unison, pigment and resin bring about a makeup film
The liquid in which the formula is left to suspend, is the solvent. This enables them to be conveyed through the airbrush equipment, when the solvent evaporates, a cosmetic film is left behind. Water, oil-based or alcoholic solvents are used in airbrush makeup.
While airbrush makeup is being put on, you should take care not to paint openly portions like nose, ears, or eyes; instead the applier should use cotton swabs. When you ask the client to hold their breath, you have to breathe with them. They should be asked to breathe out slowly, while spraying nose and mouth areas. You might ask the client to breathe out bit by bit when spraying on the nose and mouth. It will be more civilized on your part to start the make up from applying off the side of the face instead of directly, and then coming back to face.
An airbrush makeup constituent will contain the following:
Solvent will be deionizer water; hydrating agent can be Propylene Glycol; resin or binder; for absorption and anti-caking, magnesium aluminum silicate; thickening agent is cellulose gum, while Triethanolamine can be the drying format. Apart from preservatives like Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, or Propylparaben will be used. Pigments have to be chosen depending on the demands of the makeup. Usually these constitute airbrush makeup components.
