Hello, I'm Roger Bennett Riggle licensed and professional make-up artist and this is my model today Vanessa Strickland. We are talking about how easy and effective it is to use an airbrush and now in this segment we’re actually going to spray on the airbrush foundation and I’ll show you exactly how easy it is. It is extremely effective and it’s really, really easy to do.
We’re going to take the airbrush and this is the top feed airbrush as oppose to a bottom feed and we’ve already checked our make-up and it’s viscosity and I picked the light tone for Vanessa because she’s very, very fair. And I'm going to put in just about half of this little cup of foundation because we’re just doing the left side of her face so that I can really show you the difference in the airbrush.
We’re going to take the little black cup and we’re going press it on top of the cup so that we don’t spill any of the foundation while we’re doing the application. Again the airbrush diaphragm is plugged into electricity and I'm going to hit the go button and the airbrush now is running and I'm going to do a light spray over her face. You want to stay about six to eight inches away from the face. If you get it too close it will get too wet and start to drip. If it’s too far away you don’t really get the right application and you will learn very quickly how easy it is to stay about eight inches away from the face and apply the foundation make-up.
And so here we go, I can actually show the client that the air is coming out. I push down the pistol and the air comes out but the make-up does not and then as I pull the pistol back. You maybe able to see or not see the spray coming out but I'm actually spraying the foundation color on her skin and I just keep it rolling and rolling and rolling. It actually smells good too.
You go along the front of the nose and you can see getting a little wet. I also will do the ears a little bit because the ears are quite red and I also do the neck because you don’t want a really big substantial difference between the color of face and the neck and the chest area which will be rather white.
At this point, I need to let this dry just for about 30-seconds to a moment. So while that is happening I will take the cleaner. I take the cup off the air gun, I drip the cleaner into the cup, I’ll grab a paper towel, and I just spray the cleaner through the airbrush. We hardly ever have problems with the airbrush but you will have problems with the airbrush if you don’t clean it. If you let this foundation dry in the airbrush you're going to have the beginnings of clogging this tiny, tiny hole that the needle goes through. And if you run the cleaner through it right away you will almost never have any trouble with your airbrush.
I’ll show you once again. Just put the cleaner in the cup, pull your pistol back and you spray the cleaner right through the airbrush and it not only cleans the cup it cleans the needle, and it cleans the little tiny hole at the end of the airbrush. Okay, good.
Now, this foundation looks to be dry to me already and again I will take the rice powder and a brush and I'm going to do just the lightest brush of this powder over top of the foundation to set it. I’ll do the ears, I do the neck. Again, you don’t want too much powder you just want to set your work. So we have concealed the face, we lightly powdered it with the rice powder, we put the foundation in the airbrush and we sprayed Vanessa’s face with the foundation and we set it lightly with the powder. As well we clean the airbrush while the make-up is drying so it makes sure we’ll go extremely fast and very, very easy.
Now, we will put the finishing touches on Vanessa’s make-up.
