The In-Depth Look at Airbrush Makeup From a Professional Makeup Artist. What is Airbrush?

As makeup artists, we all have our own unique taste, experience, technique, eye for things. Two of us could use the exact same concealer and one of us hate it. You know why? Because we have different processes when it comes to applying, using a brush vs. a sponge, the skin prep beforehand, the amount of powder - a number of factors that all make up the end result. Two artists could receive the same inspiration photo, and achieve the same end result, but by completely different means.
