Airbrush Training Video #3 Prepping The Canvas

Airbrush Training Video #3

Prepping The Canvas






This is video #3 in the Face To Face With Violett Airbrush Training. This video goes over 
how to prep the canvas. This is very important because you will have to prep differently depending on the skin type. If you prep improperly you could end up with a client that has an issue that merits a refund. Not prepping properly can cause the airbrush makeup to move, look powder/crapey or cause it to come off


Tools & Supplies Needed:

Hydrating Toner - I like Murad's Hydrating Toner. It works well for all skin types because it's made for sensitive skin. It also has hyaluronic acid in it which can hold up to 1000 times it's weight in water. We can usually get the salon size for $35 so I tend to do that since I use so much.



Lightweight, Oil-Free Moisturizer - I like the Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion because it is really light and absorbs quickly. It also has an spf but it's a chemical spf so it doesn't reflect light. $35 for 1.7oz or $78 for 16.9oz.




Hydrating Eye Cream - I like the Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream but for the simple fact that it's only $18. It also has hyaluronic which I previously mentioned is an amazing ingredient.

Dermonectin Eye Cream



Airbrush Primer - Use an airbrush primer with all clients. I like the Dinair Shine Free which works with most airbrush makeup. For the silicone-based airbrush makeup it is best to use the silicone-based airbrush makeup primer.



Liquid Powder - Apply underneath the airbrush makeup for some heavy-duty oil absorption. This will keep the skin matte.




Dinair No Sweat - Apply this using your airbrush to the hair line as well as under the nose and on the chin. This will prevent perspiration from breaking through the foundation.



Foundation Brush - Use this to apply the moisturizer, eye cream, primer and liquid powder. I like the Bdellium Tools Studio Line because the brushes are antibacterial.
Studio 948 Foundation


Cotton Rounds - Use these to put hydrating toner on to cleanse the skin of any dirt, oil or debris.



Mixing Palette - To put product on for a sanitary application. I like the Make Up For Ever Steel Mixing Palettes. The small ones just take up less room in my kit.

Airbrush Training Video #2: Cleaning & Maintaining Your Airbrush

Airbrush Training Video #2

Cleaning & Maintaining Your Airbrush





This is video #2 in the Face To Face With Violett Airbrush Training. This video goes over 
how to clean and maintain your airbrush. This is the most important thing to know as an 
airbrush artist. No matter how great of an artist you are, if your gun isn't properly cleaned 
and maintained it can ruin your career in one job.


Tools & Supplies Needed:

Airbrush cleaning brushes


Make sure to get these brushes. I've used the Dinair and Temptu brushes as well
as dozens of others and they all fall apart and don't fit all the way through
the brush.

Airbrush cleaner


To save money just get the gallon size. You can refill a bottle to bring with you.
For the Dinair Glamour/Colair use this particular cleaner but if you're using a different 
brand/formula of airbrush makeup use that specific cleaner.


Alcohol


I use this to clean out the Dinair Paramedical because it's alcohol-based product and you
need to clean it with alcohol.

Pointed Cotton Swabs


Use these to clean out your airbrush's cup and the tip of the nozzle cap.

Airbrush Wrench


To properly clean the nozzle you'll need to remove it. To do that you'll need a
wrench specially designed for Dinair or Temptu airbrushes. The temptu
brushes come with them but not the Dinair brushes. You'll have to actually call 
them to get one. 

There are many other tools and supplies for airbrush cleaning but these are what I've found
work the best. I've even tried the Dinair Ultrasonic Cleaner and that really didn't do a whole
lot and I felt like I wasted a ton of money.
