Week 99er

I have a lot of makeup - I honestly don't think I can have enough. But one thing I hadn't tried (until recently) was airbrushed makeup. It's something that celebrities do - and honestly it intimidated me a little. I can do art work, but don't ask me to draw a straight line without a ruler - how would I apply my makeup with an airbrush machine? 

Luminess Air sent me one of their Everyday Beauty Units to try and review. It's small, it's cute and pink, and believe it or not - easy to use! 

Now, I will be the first to admit I don't have perfect skin. I use face scrubs in the shower every day, and sometimes remember to use a cleaner to take my makeup off before bed. It's not horrible, and I get some break outs - but it will never be 100% smooth. Over the past few years I tend to stick to certain brands of makeup and mineral makeups as possible. But there's a problem with them, they're expensive and you have to use so much to get a coverage. 

The first time i used the Luminess Airbrush system, I did it on a day I wouldn't have to lose the house. I know it sounds silly, but if I messed up bad and had difficulty getting off the makeup I didn't want to leave the house looking like messy. That fear was quickly put to rest. 

The systems come with a book and a dvd you have to watch before you use the system. Well you don't have to - but since I was nervous using it anyhow, I did. It is only a few minutes long but it is full of useful tips on how to apply your makeup with the system. I made sure I read the booklet and watched the dvd before starting. 

The machine is pretty small - only a few inches big. One feature I automatically liked was it had a power port on each side, in case you're in a place that it wont work on one side, you can always use the other. The Everyday beauty system has only one speed setting - Medium, but it's all you need. 

I plugged in the unit, tested a few colors to find my shade and I was off. The dvd suggests keeping the nozzle one airbrush away (about 6 inches) while applying your makeup. You can feel the makeup as it applies to your skin - a brief kiss of air. I even put on blush and layered foundation over it so I had a "glow" underneath. I even applied my eye shadow on like normal, and mascara. 

Stepping back I was a bit amazed. It was almost perfect on my first try. Not 100% perfect, but the next day when I applied my makeup again - I was done in just a few minutes and it looked flawless. That's a pretty awesome learning curve. 

What I love about it? You only put a few drops in the machine to get a good coverage. Yes, a few DROPS. Just think how long that bottle of foundation will last you! I also loved that it was so easy to put on, and it stayed on all day! It was a hot day - and I didn't even sweat it off. Now that's awesome! 

This is a fantastic product not only for weddings, meetings and special occasions but even daily makeup application. I love the staying power of the makeup - and my sensitive skin hasn't broke out since I've been using it.
