Hello, I'm Roger Bennett Riggle license and professional make-up artist and this is my model today Vanessa Strickland. Today we are showing you how easy and effective it is to use an airbrush. And in this clip I'm going to show you the preparation of yourself or your client before we actually spray the make-up on.
The first thing that I'm going to do is to take a cotton pad and the witch hazel and I just pour some witch hazel on the cotton pad and I wipe the whole face down just to make sure that the face is really, really nice and clean. It helps to close small pores on the face and I make sure I get off all excess oils or soap scam or anything that the client may have built up during the day.
All right and then I'm going to take the concealer, my concealer and this come in different colors too depending on the color that you are or the color of your client and this is concealer brush. I like the round ones because they're flat and they are round and they fit up underneath the eye very, very well.
I go into the concealer and I put it on my hand because I want to warm it up a little bit and I don’t want it too thick when it put it on the face. Look up please. And I paint this concealer up on an angle on the face and I go all the way down to the side of the nose and underneath the eye. This gets rid of any darkness, any redness, it pulls down on the effect of wrinkles being filmed or freckles. Of course the younger, your client is the less work you have to work normally. Then I take my ring finger, which is the softest pad on your hand and I basically just pat and smooth out that concealer so that it is nice and smooth. I'm going to pick up a little bit more make-up close and I'm going to do the whole eye area.
The skin here is very, very thin and can show some redness and some blueness from the capillaries and blood flow that is underneath that thin skin, so I'm want to block that totally out before I start. And the other thing I do is to just do a general check. I can go into this concealer and cover up little freckles, any little blemishes, anything that maybe red because red is exaggerated quite a bit weather you're in person, whether you're on television. So anyway I'm just going to smooth up this area and get rid of what I feel are little tiny imperfections just to smooth up the face before I go.
Because it is a cream I'm going to want to set that and I'm going to use the rice paper and I like to use a brush. This is a large powder brush and a brush puts on just the thinnest layer of powder over the cream concealer. If I use the powder puff I make it too much powder in there and I want just the lightest bit of powder to be able to set my work.
Have the client close her eye and I go in over the eye with the brush and I very just gently stroke my work. I just want to lightly, light set that and I have the client look up and this brush fits in here very nicely especially when you just role again like so. And that is the basic easy, easy quick prep for doing someone’s face or doing your own face before we actually spray on the airbrush foundation and it should only take you a minute or two to do the concealer and the preparation.
In the next clip, we will actually spray Vanessa Strickland with the airbrush foundation.
