Airbrush Makeup Halloween

If you really want to impress with your Halloween look, leave the finger paints and plastic masks to the kids and learn about airbrush makeup Halloween ideas.

In thinking about airbrush makeup Halloween looks, the company Dinair claims to be the originator of a product, which is applied using an airbrush gun, similar to automotive painting. Liquid, highly pigmented makeup is vaporized, resulting in an even application that prevents streaking and creases, making it a preferred makeup for Broadway actors, models and of course, Halloween revelers. While airbrush makeup is more expensive than traditional kinds, it is extremely versatile because it can be used not only on the face, but also on hair and the rest of the body.

With stencils and a little bit of creativity, you can produce endless Halloween looks with airbrush makeup.

Transform yourself into a leopard or zebra by spraying makeup on stencils against your hair, face and body. Similarly, you can create creepy lizard or alligator scales on your skin.

Go gory by creating fake bruises with varying shades of blues and purples. Airbrush your face white with eerie dark shadows around your eyes for the classic zombie look, or use stencils for a more defined skeleton face. Create bloody, fake wounds just like in the movies.

Other possible looks achieved with airbrush makeup include Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, vampire or witch. The website Compulsive Creativity offers some ghoulish examples of airbrush makeup for Halloween.

Get the look of a 1920s pin up model or Marilyn Monroe. Airbrush makeup allows you to create a flawless complexion accented with dramatic lip and eye pigments. Use metallics to highlight your cheek bones, and rich red for your lips. Another option is to create the Barbie look, using bright shadow and pink lip color. Or, go for exotic beauty by recreating Cleopatra’s dramatic makeup.

Most reputable airbrush makeup manufacturers will include an instructional book or DVD when you purchase a starter kit. From this you will learn the basics, and after a little experimentation, you should get the hang of it. You Tube contains a wealth of videos detailing airbrush Halloween makeup application.

Apply airbrush makeup to clean, dry skin. If your skin is especially oily, use an astringent to soak up the excess so that the makeup can better adhere. When applying airbrush makeup to the face and head, use cotton balls or pads to protect eyes, nostrils and ears. As a precaution, hold your breath while the makeup is being sprayed on to avoid ingesting particles. Hair should be clean and dry for airbrush makeup application. It will not adhere well to damp, oily or product-laden hair. Airbrush makeup should be applied in light layers. This way, minor mistakes can be disguised and you maintain control of the look.

As with any product applied to the body, conduct a test patch before applying to large areas to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction. If you have no prior experience applying airbrush makeup, it’s a good idea to ask a friend who does or hire a professional, especially when applying this makeup to your face.

Airbrush makeup is typically sold in professional beauty supply stores as well as on many websites.
