Airbrush Application Instruction

• Clean your face!
• For us "older" women, hairs on the face seem to show up out of nowhere as we age, lol! WAX, TWEEZE or SHAVE those hairs off the face!  Hair on the face will show using airbrush foundation.
• Clean your face again!
• Next, apply a moisturizer. ( I like to use my own concoction of Aloe Vera Gel 100% - bought @ drug store, Vitamin E - also bought @ drug store & water.)
• Optional step: Apply filler/primer if you use it. (I personally use No 7 Photofix Filler & Primer) It isn't a must. Just optional!
• Next and very important protocol of this step, if you have blemishes you wish to hide, apply your concealer BEFORE you apply airbrush make up. Airbrush foundation should cover without any concealer. However, if you do use concealer, it ABSOLUTELY has to be applied BEFORE your airbrushing cosmetic!
• Now your ready to apply your airbrush foundation for your glam look!
  • Place around 6 drops into your airbrush cup. 
  • Test the color on the back side of your hand or wrist area, holding the airbrush gun at least 4 inches away from skin.
  • If the color is too light, add a drop or two of a darker airbrush foundation into the cup. Take a tissue and hold it over the end of the spray gun where the foundation sprays out. Press the spray gun trigger to force the air to mix the colors together inside the spray gun cup. (Be sure you placed the lid back onto the cup before you always spray or push the spray gun button!)
  • Test the color again on your arm. Repeat the adding step until you reach your desired shade of Airbrush foundation.  
  • Do the same step in reverse (i.e. add a drop or two of a lighter shade if your airbrush foundation is too dark.) Remember to tissue the end and place the lid back onto the cup before pressing the spray gun trigger button to mix as well!
  • Now that you have your desired airbrush foundation shade, pull your hair back away from your face secured.
  • Spray your foundation onto your face, starting from the forehead, working in circular motions, down each side and working in towards the middle, then down the chin, neck and upper chest area. MAKE SURE to hold the airbrush spray gun around 4 inches away from your skin.
  • IMPORTANT!!!: 
    • Hold your breath when spraying around your mouth and nose area.
    • KEEP your mouth closed softly!
    • NEVER SQUINT your eyes, but do CLOSE EYES SOFTLY when spraying around the eyes!
  • Let your spray sit for a couple of minutes or use the air from your EMPTY airbrush spray gun to blow your foundation dry/set.
  • When set/Dry, add a drop or two of your blush/bronzer and highlight the areas you want highlighter.
  • Clean you airbrush gun with water, remembering to spray through the nozzle to keep the nozzle clean and free from makeup drying/clogging the spray hole. Also place a tissue over the spray nozzle with the lid on the cup to back wash, then blow out the nozzle again.
  • If you use airbrush eye shadows, you can now apply your eye shadow.
  •  Clean you airbrush gun again with water, remembering to spray through the nozzle to keep the nozzle clean and free from makeup drying/clogging the spray hole. Also place a tissue over the spray nozzle with the lid on the cup to back wash, then blow out the nozzle again.
  • Finished look should last at least 12 hours.  In hot/humid areas of the USA, You may want to apply the Lori G Ashley face dusting powder, AFTER your foundation has dried completely or a few hours later if the set is not staying as you like, as a touch up.
  • Enjoy your beautiful airbrush look!
