Wow thank you! This was so helpful since I just got an airbrush but can't afford to buy the paints BC they are so expensive! I appreciate this more than you know 🥰🥰 and I would like to see you cleaning your airbrush after use if you can.
This is amazing!!! So helpful. If you see this have you ever tried mixing some of the mehron cake paint colors into already made mehron liquid paints to change the shade up??
God I love this so much. Can you go over how to clean your airbrush, particularly after using alcohol activated products? I have an airbrush cleanser, but I’m hesitant about using anything other than that airbrush brand’s product (Temptu) so haven’t tried my Skin Illustrator stuff yet
I always run 99% alcohol through the airbrush to clean it from any alcohol makeups. I don't use any sort fo airbrush cleansers. A lot of airbrush cleaners are designed for acrylics and other paints, so they tend to have harsher chemicals. If it's designed for cleaning an airbrush makeup, I imagine it's fine.
Very helpful! I just started looking today about airbrushing. I havent bought anything yet but I want to. My daughter is always drawing and putting crazy makeup all over herself and loves to go out that way. I love art as well and think this would be an amazing creative outlet for as she cant do resin pouring and some of my things. Btw Love the look as well.
This is amazing I'm going to starting airbrushing in July on my birthday... My husband is getting everything that I need to start but right now we're having some financial issues so this is an amazing find thank you so much for sharing this video!!! I've been in love with the idea of airbrushing ever since I worked at the haunted attraction in Hammond Indiana call Reaper's Realm... We had two of the most amazing airbrush artists this last year and Reaper's realm was having issues and this was the last time we were running... Once I realized that I wouldn't get to see those two women again I knew it was finally time to take up a new skill, I know that with airbrushing it's probably going to take me awhile to get good at it but it's an amazing way to do volunteer jobs to start a portfolio...
Love that the video is so helpful for you! Good luck on your airbrush journey. It takes some time to get use to be and comfortable with. Once you get the practice in, you will love it! Such a great tool.
This is so helpful ! I have not been able to find any info about using Mehron fx glitter or their precious gem powder in an airbrush. Is it possible or will it clog the airbrush?
The Mehron Precious gem powder should be fine. Would work similarly to the eyeshadow. You could skip the alcohol step. The glitter however I do think will clog most airbrush. I use a car detailer for more full body coverage. Something like that would be better for glitter.
You can try with just the water or even a little witch hazel added. I found the eyeshadow I used didn’t blend well with it so I needed to use some sort of mixing liquid. Different pigments may not need it. Worth trying it out without the mixing liquid.
I found some of the eyeshadows don’t mix well right into the mixing liquid. The alcohol is just to help breakdown the shadow before adding it to the mixing liquid. But you may not need that step depending on the eyeshadow.
Great video. Had considered this but nice to see it done. Curious question. Do you have a method of squeezing the brush to get the most out of it? I'm just worried about leaving excess in the brush and wasting paint.
Thank you! I have found raking multiple times on the edge of the cup can pull out the majority of the liquid. You could even hold down the top of the brush with a spatula as you drag it against the cup, creating a squeegee effect.
Love it! Thank you so much! This is very very helpful!!! I have a question… with the water activated makeup, does it brush off or it stays a long time? Thanks in advance! 💖
Thank you glad you liked it! It fully depends on the makeup’s formula that you are using. If the brand of water activated you have comes off easily once fully dry when applied normal with a brush. Then yes it will act the same if you airbrush it. In that case you would either want to get a better brand of water activated or you can try some mehron mixing liquid in with the color when spraying. Also a good spray sealer may help.
Glad to hear it was helpful ☺️ I’m currently using Iwata airbrushes but I know they can be a bit on the higher price range. This video goes a little indepth of what things to keep in mind when looking for one that works in your price range. ua-cam.com/video/DUwiqO3jqZQ/v-deo.html If there’s any other questions you have from this video please let me know 😄
@ I tried that & it still ran & transferred. I tried both the solid cake & the liquid with their mixing no liquid, their setting powder & their setting spray. I had to use an antiperspirant in our hairline & on our t-zone to prevent sweating as much as possible. We still couldn’t touch it without it transferring.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Would u mind talking a little bit about the different types of actual airbrush body paints? I heard there are me silicone, water and alcohol based. What application should be ideal for each and does it requiere different airbrush equipment? Thank you so much for all your valuable info. I also would like to learn about the process for the bold cap application, what types you can get which ones do you recommend, the product to make it stick to the skin. Also what can apply to create a barrier when using liquid latex, I'm not allergic to latex but my face is a bit sensitive, when applied liquid latex over face left my skin very irritated and red for a couple of days. Tha k you 🙏💞🌻
The airbrush equipment would be the same for all three types. Water based is going to be the cheapest since its not as resilient as the others. You're going to want to make sure you have a good sealer to help keep it on for longer wear. Alcohol based are great since they are waterproof and smudgeproof, similar to silicone based. Though silicone based usually run more expensive. Usually those are more for if you want a natural foundation airbrush look. I make my own bald caps. Think all your questions will make for a great video! I'll start working on one for the subject. As far as the latex causing your skin to become red. Are you just applying it then peeling it off when you are done? Using a gentle remover (isopropyl myristate) or an oil may help with the irritation, by breaking the latex down and release your skin from the bond. You can also protect your skin ahead of time with Derma Shield, that will create a layer between your skin and the latex.
@@CrisAlex thank you so much for answering, yes i was peeling it the latex off 🙈, but also i could feel a little bit of sting when applying it, maybe the chemicals on it may be a little harsh for my skin? Definitely going to look up those products to create a barrier and also look up the remover. I used one of those qt latex bottles that were being sold during halloween at walmart...so haven't tried any other latex brands ro compare, i remember the smell being a little bit strong but nos sure if that is normal for liquid latex. Thank u! Love your content and your art!
Liquid latex does contain some ammonia. That may be causing the sensitivity. I don’t know about the levels in the Halloween ones compared to more professional brands. Wouldn’t be surprised if they added more to help with the shelf life. Definitely want to put a skin barrier down and maybe see about using a latex with lower ammonia.
@@CrisAlex that's a good point, yes! That was the smell! amonia! Any particular brand of liquid latex that may have low ammonia content that you could recommend? Thank you!
One more idea I'd you don't mind maybe making a video about your collection of sfx lenses? I've seen you have tagged the company on some of your IG posts, what lenses would you say are more versatile, and can they be bought without prescription? Thank u! 💞
There's no need to use setting powder with these three makeup types. The only times I would is powdering your eyelids to help set the water or alcohol activated colors. The eyeshadow method is mixed with setting liquid so that wouldn't have an issue. The other time you may want to use powder is if you use Graftobian. I have found if I do my base with their colors, they take alot longer to dry. Carefully applying setting powder would help to speed up the drying.
Metallics work fine with this method. The Skin Illustrator color shown is a metallic. If you have issues with it coming thru the airbrush you may need to thin your mixture.
Have you ever used with mixing liquid with the paradise cake paints?? I was also curious about using Inglot's Duraline with the paradise palettes. I know they are water activated and Duraline is silicone based. But if you're using it AS the activator then in theory I would think it wouldn't repel. But then again, I don't know what the base is for the cake paints. Like, would it even emulsify at all 🤔 What's your take?
I haven't tried it with the mixing liquid. I would imagine you would be able to use the Duraline. Worst case if it doesn't seem to want to activate with the silicone. You would probably be able to use a small amount of alcohol to get the paradise paints to activate and get a consistency that blended well with the Duraline. Then the alcohol would flash off without effecting the silicone.

this is genius and exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for. I didn't want to have to buy a bunch of liquid bottles. I can use what i have!

I can't find the paint brush your using. Could you please put a link for it .
Love this thank you
When doing the eyeshadow affect, did you use the mixing liquid and the alcohol together or did you just use the mixing liquid
I found some of the eyeshadows don’t mix well right into the mixing liquid. The alcohol is just to help breakdown the shadow before adding it to the mixing liquid. But you may not need that step depending on the eyeshadow.
Thanks for the video, can you tell me what kind of compressor do you use ? Love
I use a cheaper compressor from Harbor Freight. I don’t feel the need to spend a lot on the compressor, rather that money go towards a better airbrush
Great video. Had considered this but nice to see it done. Curious question. Do you have a method of squeezing the brush to get the most out of it? I'm just worried about leaving excess in the brush and wasting paint.

What’s the name of the air brush concentrate
Skin Illustrator Concentrate is what it is called. You would just get it in the color you are looking for.

How do you make them sweat proof?
You can mix the water activated with Mehron mixing liquid to help water proof it. Also can seal the finished look with a water proof sealer.
@ I tried that & it still ran & transferred. I tried both the solid cake & the liquid with their mixing no liquid, their setting powder & their setting spray.
