Hello fellow Tumblr peeps!

Today I am going to share some of the recent shots I made before and after using the Luminess Air Makeup System.

This is actually my 2nd time to try out my hands on Luminess Air. I am still in the process of mastering how to really navigate the system especially on putting makeup on thy face. I honestly think it is quite a challenge for newbies especially in pulling out the trigger of the airbrush gun, how much makeup to spray on the face, or other techniques unknown yet (to me).

I don’t have any overall ratings or reviews on the Luminess Air as of the moment. I am planning to do a comprehensive review on Luminess Air + Dinair system when I will get a hold of the latter.

As for now, here are the photos I’d like to share to you all. Products used will be mentioned below. No edits or whatsoever. This is under natural lighting during the day. Special thanks to the sun for emitting such wonderful daylight into my windows. :)

(part surrounding my eyebrows are having those white marks due to the concealer i use to smoothen out the edges for a clean look of thy brows——so basically face is not yet done)

Never will I use velcro rollers again! They never work to give me curls nor give me that voluminized hair after using it. Oh well, time to invest in hot rollers? We shall see. 

Here are a few tips that I think might be helpful if you’re new to airbrushing based on my experience. I admit I am still new to airbrushing and learning but I guess it is not bad to share some quite a few of my experiences. Allow for about 5 minutes for the first layer of the airbrush foundation to try if you are going for high-coverage. Layering while the foundation on your face is still wet will result in cakey-ness. We don’t want that to happen! So depending on how many layers or coverage you are going for, always remember to be patient and let each layer to dry. Here, I tried 3 layers.

Also, in blushing your face using airbrush, 3 drops is enough or even too much for both of your choose. The blush’s color is very intensified so be careful if you are spraying too much. Same goes to the bronzer.

On the photos you are looking at, I didn’t finish my face with a face powder or any powder foundation. Just wanted to see how far the foundation will look like on my face post-airbrushing. 

Note to self: I am looking for my HG concealer that I can use before airbrushing my face with the foundation. Also, I shouldn’t forget that I am in a hunt of a good non-silicon primer. What can you recommend? I have also heard good reviews about Kryolan and Graftobian foundation and anti-shine powder so I guess I should consider those on the list, too. But I guess I need to wait more and save more!

More photos soooooooon.
