7. Basics Course: Airbrush Make-up (NEW)

Airbrush/ Hi-Definition Make-up is very popular in foreign countries. Make-up artists

would use it for brides or in theatrical productions.

In this hi-definition and digital era, all the skin blemishes would be magnified under the

hi-definition cameras; counting on the traditional make-up to cover them is not only time

consuming, the looks will be artificial andnot long-lasting.

The principle of the airbrush for make-up is that when the ultra-fine foundation is sprayed

by the high-pressure airbrush, it will be more evenly attached to the skin. A base make-

up that normally takes 20 minutes can be done in just 60 seconds with an airbrush, which

makes the job of a make-up artist more efficient as well as professional.
