Buying a quality airbrush is an investment. As a beginner, I mistook the poor performance and control of my 'cheap' airbrush system to be caused by my own ‘inability’. In spite of the full-day's training included as part of the package, I just didn't feel confident about doing bridal makeup, so I invested several hundred pounds more on one-to-one tuition. Still I felt frustrated with my progress until today, when I took delivery of a genuine Iwata high-performance airbrush and compressor, which I reckon will save me hours of wasted effort trying to advance my skills using sub-standard equipment.
Okay girls, it's time for you to come on down and experience the airbrush makeup revolution! My new airbrush offers unsurpassed performance, quality and control for airbrushed make-up application.
Let the buyer beware! Cheaper airbrushes, mini compressors and other airbrush products bundled together and marketed as the total airbrush solution for professional makeup artist's salon and mobile use, does not do what it says on the tin! In my view, it is a false economy and seriously limits the makeup artist's creativity.
Furthermore, please be very cautious about being indiscriminately sprayed with silicone makeup. Whilst allergic skin reactions are relatively rare you should be offered a 24hr patch test. Also, whilst silicone airbrush makeup is a dramatic breakthrough in makeup technology that offers long-lasting flawless perfection, it isn't so ideal when breathed in!
Accordingly, for your health and safety, Pretty Flamingo provides all clients with a *Wein Personal Air Purifier to wear during the application of airbrush makeup. This is a safe and effective solution to reducing the inhalation of chemicals, perfumes and other pollutants and is great for allergy sufferers.
